Your A-List: Best Place for Cheap Date
Best place for a first date. Best place for a blind date. Best place for a cheap date.
Alamo Drafthouse, which has won countless A-List contests, came in first for Best Place for a Cheap Date. After all, you get dinner and a show! It maneuvered 29 percent off the vote.
For an inanimate object, Mount Bonnell sure has maintained a loyal Austin following for just about any occasion. It took 13 percent.
Two South Congress Avenue institutions — Home Slice Pizza and First Thursday — perched at third and fourth with 13 and 9 percent of the vote.
Zilker Botanical Garden and Movies in the Park tied exactly at almost 7 percent.
The rest of the pack: Baby Acapulco, Crown and Anchor, Frank and Angie’s and Nasty’s.

I don't think $50 bucks is really a cheap date. And to pull the #1 spot kind of makes the list a waste.
I like Alamo just like everyone else but $25 for 2 tickets and another $25 for two burgers does not make a cheap date.
Want a cheap date...use the A-list Best Happy Hours list. Find restaurants with free live music. In these hard times those putting their vote to this category of cheap dates should be more frugal.
