The Bloc

Eyes on the Bloc

The Bloc is a vibrant, open-air urban center, a growing, inclusive community, a LEED™ certiﬁed Gold project, an inﬂection point in the heart of downtown Los Angeles. Encompassing a full city block along LA’s iconic 7th Street corridor, The Bloc connects the ﬁnancial, fashion, jewelry, and theater districts – and the 7th Street Metro Center Station, where four DTLA lines converge.

Welcome to The Alamo Drafthouse Cinema, an American cinema offering dinner, drinks, movies and events, all under one roof. We’re proud to say that our attention to detail in both film presentation and programming earned accolades from Entertainment Weekly (#1 theater in America), Wired.com (Coolest Movie Theater in the World) and Fandango.com (One of the Best Theaters in the Country).

Part of our famous attention to detail is our strict policy that requires audiences to maintain proper cinema going etiquette. In a nutshell, we have zero tolerance for talking or cell phone usage of any kind during a show. We’ve also ditched pre-show advertising and opted instead for custom pre-shows with custom content. And, to ensure the very best experience, every show features crisp, bright digital or 35mm presentations with booming surround sound.

Our attention to detail also extends to our food and drink offerings. Check out our food menu, as well as our beer and wine selection, featuring local breweries and wineries whenever possible.

We offer an array of events, too – from Quote-Along events, Kids Camp screenings that benefit local nonprofits, to new release family parties. See you soon, LA!
