Alamo is dead, long live the Flix. Flix Brewhouse has taken over both El Paso Alamo Drafthouse locations and, among other things, they bring new goodies to munch.<\/p>\n
Alamo Drafthouse<\/a> was the reason I ended my longstanding boycott of movie theaters so I was way bummed when I heard they were shutting down in El Paso<\/a>.<\/p>\n On the upside, Flix Brewhouse<\/a> is just as cool and they’re also stepping their food game as they assume control of the 2 former Alamo’s <\/a>as well as at their original West side location.<\/p>\n The things that Alamo Drafthouse did that got me going to movies again were simple. On top of comfy seats and state of the art sound, they made patrons shut up, put their phones down, limited kids attendance, offered good food, (not just stale popcorn and snacks), and they had a full bar.<\/p>\n What Is Flix Brewhouse Doing?<\/p>\n Flix is totally on board with all that<\/a> and, with regard to the food, they’re actually ramping things up a bit on their menu<\/a>.\u00a0Plus, they\u00a0brew their own beer<\/a>.<\/p>\n READ MORE: Who Sells The Most Booze In El Paso?<\/a><\/p>\n They’re adding new stuff like\u00a0a “Truffle Shuffle” pizza that uses an alfredo sauce with mushrooms and truffles and a 5 meat pizza called “The Butcher”.<\/p>\n They’re also going international with some dishes a Korean “BBQ Bowl” which is a traditional Korean bibimbap bowl – white rice, veggies, beef, a fried egg and house made kimchi.\u00a0 Don’t forget about the\u00a0beer<\/a>.<\/p>\n What About The Decor?<\/p>\n
