Sojos Capital announced plans to bring the first Alamo Drafthouse Cinema to Indiana as part of its master redevelopment plan of the city’s northwest side. A groundbreaking ceremony was held to celebrate the award-winning Austin, Texas based cinema-eatery’s entry into Indiana.

“Alamo Drafthouse Cinema provides a unique, cool, and colorful experience that embraces the community and that goes to the heart of our vision,” said Fabio de la Cruz, principal of Sojos Capital. “Alamo will bring new life and energy to the neighborhood. We are standing by our commitment to revitalize the northwest side neighborhood and are excited to start our first commercial project of many in the area.”

Alamo Drafthouse’s new Indianapolis location will feature a 14-screen theater with nearly 1,000 seats located at the former Georgetown Cinema (3898 Lafayette Road Indianapolis, Ind. 46254). Future guests can expect a scratch-made food menu, local beers on tap, and craft cocktails all delivered to their seat by stealthy servers trained not to disrupt the movie.

Alamo Drafthouse is renowned for its dedication to preserving the cinema experience. Its strict No Talking/No Texting policy ensures that guests are able to enjoy the show free from distractions. Guests are also encouraged to arrive up to 30 minutes before their showtime to enjoy a custom, ad-free preshow, featuring funny clips, informative video essays, and more. Each auditorium will be equipped with top-of-the-line digital 4K projection and dynamic surround sound. The theater will also feature a separate, full-service bar featuring craft cocktails, wine, and local craft beers on tap. The bar will serve as a place for guests to gather and share their love of film, along with hosting a variety of additional entertainment offerings celebrating all manner of pop culture, from themed trivia nights and competitive karaoke to unique TV and sports watch parties. The new theater is expected to open in Spring 2024.

“We visit Indianapolis almost every year for Gencon, the truly epic annual tabletop gaming gathering,” said Alamo Drafthouse Founder Tim League. “We’ve grown to really love this city over the years and are so excited to get to know and support the local film community in the years ahead!”

Part of what makes Alamo Drafthouse so unique is its signature mix of the latest blockbusters, first-run indies, beloved classics, little-known genre gems, and specialty events – no other circuit in the country plays a more diverse slate of films. From Movie Parties with interactive games and themed props, to Advance Screenings of exciting new films, to summer Kids Camp with discounted tickets for the whole family, there’s something for everyone at Alamo Drafthouse.
