📊About ALAMO DRAFTHOUSE CINEMA

Across its filing history this location reported $7,540,672 over 61 monthly returns, August 2021 through August 2026 (2021 – 2026). That is a lifetime sum, not a monthly figure — the two are separated everywhere on this page. Its strongest single month on record was July 2023, at $252,098.

📉How ALAMO DRAFTHOUSE CINEMA Is Trending
Each comparison names both windows. Where a comparison is not valid for this venue it is left out rather than filled with a zero.
ALAMO DRAFTHOUSE CINEMA filed 61 consecutive monthly returns through August 2026.
📈Monthly Receipts, August 2021 – August 2026
61 monthly returns filed by ALAMO DRAFTHOUSE CINEMA. Months with no filing are absent from the series rather than plotted as zero — a missing month means the venue did not file, which is not the same as reporting nothing. A month that was filed with no receipts is a real filing and is plotted, on the baseline and marked, because that too is a different fact from either of the other two.
Monthly Revenue by Category
61 months of data • Hover or tap to exploreMonths with no return filed at all are not in this series: the line skips them rather than dropping to the baseline, so a gap in filing never reads as a month of zero sales.
Annual Comparison
Calendar-year totals as filed. A year with fewer than 12 filed months is marked — a part-year total is not comparable to a full one.
📅Year by Year
Calendar-year totals as filed. A year-over-year change is shown only where both years are effectively complete — comparing a full year against a four-month stub would be a fabricated collapse.

❓Frequently Asked Questions
- Is ALAMO DRAFTHOUSE CINEMA still open?
- ALAMO DRAFTHOUSE CINEMA filed a mixed-beverage return for August 2026, reporting $81,126 — that is the newest month the Texas Comptroller has published for the Austin metro, so the filing record is current. A current filing is strong evidence the business is operating, but the Comptroller publishes tax returns, not hours: check with ALAMO DRAFTHOUSE CINEMA directly before you go.

- ALAMO DRAFTHOUSE CINEMA reported $81,126 in mixed-beverage gross receipts for August 2026, -34.8% against July 2026 and -23.4% against August 2025. That is a single month, not an average: over its whole reported history the venue has filed $7,540,672 across 61 months. This is mixed-beverage (alcohol) receipts only, not total business revenue.

- Where is ALAMO DRAFTHOUSE CINEMA located in AUSTIN?
- ALAMO DRAFTHOUSE CINEMA files mixed-beverage returns for 5701 W SLAUGHTER LN, AUSTIN, TX 78749, in Travis County. The Texas Comptroller lists the address on each monthly return; it reflects the permitted location, not necessarily a public entrance or current hours.
- What does ALAMO DRAFTHOUSE CINEMA sell?
- Over September 2025 – August 2026 (the last 12 reported months), ALAMO DRAFTHOUSE CINEMA reported 49% liquor, 17% wine, 34% beer and 0% cover charges. The largest share is liquor. Only alcoholic beverage sales and cover charges are reported to the Comptroller — food sales are not in this dataset.
- Is ALAMO DRAFTHOUSE CINEMA busy? How does it rank among Austin bars?
- This dataset tracks mixed-beverage receipts, not foot traffic, so there is no direct measure of how busy ALAMO DRAFTHOUSE CINEMA is. The closest proxy: by receipts reported for August 2026, ALAMO DRAFTHOUSE CINEMA ranked #410 of 2025 Austin-metro venues that filed for that month, and #2 of 23 venues in ZIP 78749. A higher-ranked venue sells more alcohol in a month; it is not a measure of how crowded it is at any given time, and that is a single month's rank, not a lifetime one.
- What time period does the ALAMO DRAFTHOUSE CINEMA data cover?
- 61 reported months, August 2021 through August 2026. Mixed-beverage receipts publish about three to four weeks after a month closes; the newest month currently published for the Austin metro is August 2026. Every figure on this page names the exact window it covers, because a single month, a trailing-twelve-month total and a lifetime sum are three different quantities.
- Where does ALAMO DRAFTHOUSE CINEMA's revenue data come from?
- The Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts publishes Mixed Beverage Gross Receipts, a monthly record every Texas mixed-beverage permit holder is required by law to file. This page reads that dataset directly and adds no estimates, no modelled figures and no user reviews.
ℹ️How to Read This Page
What mixed-beverage gross receipts are
Every bar, restaurant and venue in Texas holding a mixed-beverage permit must report its monthly alcoholic-beverage sales to the Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts. Those returns cover liquor, wine, beer and cover charges. They do not cover food, retail or non-alcoholic sales, so these figures are a slice of a venue's business, not its revenue.
Why every number here names a window
A single month, a trailing-twelve-month total and a lifetime sum are three different quantities, and averaging a venue's whole history produces a number that has never been true of any actual month. Each figure on this page therefore carries the exact period it covers. Where a comparison needs history this venue does not have — a full prior year, two complete twelve-month windows, three complete calendar years for a seasonal index — the comparison is omitted and the reason is stated, rather than shown as a zero.
How current is this?
Receipts publish about three to four weeks after a month closes. The newest month currently published for the Austin metro is August 2026, and every recency judgement on this page is measured against that month rather than against today's date — so a late publication by the Comptroller never changes a venue's status. ALAMO DRAFTHOUSE CINEMA last filed for August 2026, which is that frontier month.
What a stopped filing does and does not mean
A stopped filing is not proof of closure — when a bar changes hands the new owner files under a new taxpayer and location number, so the old record goes quiet while the doors stay open. A gap can also be a remodel, a seasonal close, a permit transfer or a slow filer. This page never states that a business is closed; it states when it last filed.
