Alamo Drafthouse Movie Theater Planned for The Cedars

Matthews Southwest is bringing movie theater and entertainment venue, Alamo Drafthouse, to The Cedars at Lamar and Cadiz. Matthews Southwest has been instrumental in revitalizing The Cedars and South Side districts. Other Matthews Southwest projects have included the Omni Dallas Hotel, South Side on Lamar, NYLO South Side, and several multi-family projects that are underway.

The theater will have eight screens with digital projectors augmented with Dolby 7.1 Surround Sound, and a handful will also be outfitted with 35 mm projectors. There will also be a second-story bar: the Glass Half Full Taproom, a craft beer and food lounge that will hold 200 and have two patios, one that will face Downtown and another with a movie screen and a stage for live music.
