As long as Creek Nation gets rid of that terrible Event Center. I'll be happy.

They are building a concert venue at Margaritaville but sadly I wouldn't count on the events center building going away, there are offices in there too.

Not actually a Warren theater as is being discussed here, any more than their Palace Theaters or the Movie Machine brands, but ok, we can play that game....

Old Town was probably their inspiration for not doing downtown theaters anymore....

M'kay, it's a Warren without 25 acres of parking.  What's the difference?  Each theater is unique per Bill Warren.

I'd hope if they had a suitable parking structure available they would reconsider.  Someone needs to appeal to his sensibilities that a vast sea of parking is really gauche'.  Someone needs to show him the property east of Blake's establishments and offer an area tif for a parking garage.

I'd prefer Alamo Drafthouse.  They're franchising pretty heavily right now.  If you've ever been to Alamo Drafthouse, it's a pretty cool atmosphere, perfect for downtown.  It would fit in well with Ewing and Nelson's stuff.

Alamo is better than Warren, more urban, and more reasonable prices.

And better beer selection.  The ones in Texas also have game nights throughout the week.  The bar is a place to hang out, even if you're not watching a movie.  Much cooler environment than a suburban monstrosity in the middle of a sea of asphalt.

I hear the Warren has "Big Jamoke" on tap. Mmm Beer! Oh sorry.....Marshall's Beer  ;D
Changing opinions one mistake at a time.

They had a good enough selection for a night at the movies, beer selection never even entered my mind when we booked.  MC had a Big Jamoke and I enjoyed a Coop F-5.  If I'm concerned about depth of beer selection, I stay home and enjoy the selection in the fridge or on tap.  They had an impressive cocktail menu but I abstained since I was driving.

Next time we are in a city with an Alamo, we will have to check it out to compare.
