Bear Vs Bull

This is the standalone bar inside the recently opened Alamo Drafthouse Cinema. Rather than just servicing the theater, it appears to aspire to be a destination unto itself. We dropped by the bar while waiting for our screening room to be cleaned. There wasn’t too much time before our show, and we were eager to explore the rest of this newly renovated theater, so we only stopped by long enough to order our drinks.
Like the theater, it seems that the kinks are still being worked out of the operation here. We tried to sit at the end of the bar, but we were initially confused because it was being used by one of the staff to stack used drink glasses. After confirming with the bartender that it would indeed be okay to sit in this area, we grabbed some seats. The original staff member continued to stack some additional glasses next to us, which further confused us: I would expect there to be a dedicated bar area for bussing glasses that is not where patrons are sitting.
In any case, the bartender was extremely friendly and promptly took care of our drink orders. I opted for a cocktail, Remember the Mile, while my girlfriend went for tea. Both were quite good! After taking care of the bill, we then rushed off to catch our screening that was about to start. There appear to be no restrictions on moving around the theater with drinks, so we were able to take our drinks with us to our seats (which have tables for holding drinks and food).
I plan to come back here soon, so I can try out the rest of the drink menu and actually enjoy a drink in the bar itself.
