in the last weekThe Paramount Theatre in downtown Austin is a really cool and historic place to visit. It’s been around for over 100 years and still has its old-school charm. When you walk in, you’ll see beautiful red velvet seats, a fancy ceiling, and a big, classic stage. It feels like stepping back in time. The theater isn’t super big, so almost every seat gives you a good view of the stage. The sound is great too, which makes concerts, plays, and movies even better. Just know that the seats are a little small because the building is so old, so it might not be the most comfortable if you’re really tall. But most people still love the experience.

4 months agoSuch an amazing experience visiting this vintage movie theater. The folks at the door were incredibly kind and welcoming, even gave me a Film Pass to get in to see "It's A Wonderful Life." I missed the first 20-30 minutes and sat in the back of a packed theater, and it was fantastic. Everyone laughing together at different parts throughout the film — such great community. The venue had plenty of food and beverage options too. Seats were comfortable and the floor path is well lit/well marked. Lots of good vibes here.

a month agoI took my kids to see Look both Ways: Tales of block Ten - Family Series of the theatre. It was a real treat to watch, the kids enjoyed themselves alot! The parking was optional, yes the theatre provided an option also which was really appreciated! I signed up for emails to keep informed about adventure that Paramount has to offer.

a week agoLoved it! Very nice staff and the seats were amazing. Even up in balcony we could see the stage very clearly. The bartender served me with a taste (😜) of a whiskey I'd never tried and then they offered a very healthy double shot of whiskey & coke. I was happy with their selection. Most importantly, sound was great and we found some alright parking within walking distance. Can't wait to come to another show here!

3 weeks agoThis is my second event I've attended at the Paramount. The staff was very friendly and helpful exciting people to their seats/rows. The seats themselves were not as comfortable to sit in and I wish cup holders were attached to the seats for drinks. The show and audio was great and I enjoyed my evening.
