Alamo Drafthouse in Downtown Brooklyn plans to nearly double in size
The Alamo Drafthouse cinema at City Point in Downtown Brooklyn plans to add 400 new seats and double the number of screens, according to Commercial Observer.
Alamo, part of a nationwide chain founded in Austin in 1997, currently occupies 38,000 square feet in the development and has seven screens. The expansion, which will add an additional 25,000 square feet, is scheduled for completion in 2020, Commercial Observer reported.
Veering from the traditional movie theater setup, the row of seats in Alamo theaters are accompanied by rows of tables, with an aisle behind each row to accommodate servers. Customers write their orders on slips of paper that are picked up by uniformed waiters and waitresses.
