AUSTIN, Texas — Austinites await new Alamo Drafthouse openings like children await opening presents on Christmas — and the new Mueller location opening date has finally arrived.

Alamo Drafthouse Mueller will open for business March 9.

This is the sixth location in the city.

Located next door to the Thinkery, the new location is centered around families.

"I love the new theater and think it might be our best cinema yet," says Alamo Drafthouse founder and CEO Tim League. "We have lots of fun surprises in store for the Mueller neighborhood and beyond, in particular our range of programming and events for families and kids."

The neatest feature is arguably the Barrel O' Fun, a family-friendly hall with functioning carnival games.

According to a press release from the Drafthouse,"when the sun goes down, the "R-E-L" on the sign fritzes out and the space transforms into the "Bar O' Fun." The carnival games fold into the ceiling to reveal a curated selection of fine spirits and craft beers, with an emphasis on barrel-aged offerings and craft cocktails.
