Alamo Drafthouse Cinema is opening its first-ever New England location in the Boston Seaport on November 17.
“This theater has been in the works for a long time, and to see it become this really unique space for Boston film fans to celebrate cinema together, we just couldn’t be more excited,” said Michael Kustermann, Alamo Drafthouse CEO. “Boston has an awesome movie history, it’s an amazing city, and we’re honored to add something to that legacy that we think our guests are really going to enjoy.”
Alamo Drafthouse Seaport will be a 10-screen theater with 780 seats, located at 60 Seaport Blvd. in the same development as Lululemon, Scorpion Bar, Tuscan Kitchen, Flight Club, Kings Bowling and Equinox. This luxury theater will run new movies and a curated selection of other programming. Each auditorium will be equipped with top-of-the-line digital 4K projection and dynamic surround sound and fully outfitted with luxury recliners complete with footrests. So if you don’t typically enjoy going to the movies because you are remembering the. Cramped seats at your old hometown movie theater, this is not that. Alamo promises guests a luxe experience.
"We are thrilled to welcome Alamo Drafthouse to Seaport and be home to its first Boston location. It's a best-in-class theater that brings movies and dining together to create an all-around exceptional and fun experience for everyone," says Ariel Foxman, General Manager, Seaport Boston WS Development.
The best part about Alamo is that this isn’t just a movie theater. The space will also have a full-service bar, The Press Room. Featuring craft cocktails, wine and local beers on tap, The Press Room will also have some mid-20th-century cinema newspaper advertising printing blocks on display. "Boston is a city that loves movies, loves food, and loves interesting and excellent things to do, and we want to add to all of them with the opening of Alamo Drafthouse Seaport," said Alex Shebar, Alamo Drafthouse East Coast Community Marketing Manager. The team really leaned into the cinema theme at the Press Room and guests are encouraged to check out all the artifacts after enjoying their drinks.
