Same, live about 10mins away from this location, have been multiple times and what you're describing is my experience just about every time. Do what I did, find a new theater to go to. And this isn't my experience, with all Alamo Drafthouse locations, just this one.

I've been to this location 7 or 8 times and the one in LA a couple, and have had nothing but good experiences. ::Shrug::

I'm envious of your experience at the DC location.

When did you go and have a bad experience? What weekday and time? Because if you're going to a major show, opening weekend, 7-10pm, there's a good chance you're going to have a bad experience. That's true, in my experience, at pretty much every theater anywhere. That's when the rabble comes out and they tend to ruin everything.

Went just recently and not for a release showing, I do believe it was on a Thursday, granted it was around 7. I've been when it's slow and no one is in the theater, where I feel like staff doesn't care cause no one's in the theater, and I've been when it's busy and it feels like the staff aren't trained well and show their ass. I typically give a spot multiple tries, I completely understand folks have a bad day or things just aren't clicking, so I go multiple times. It's just that when I go multiple times and 85% of the time I have a pretty bad experience, time for a new spot. Love Alamo Drafthouse, just not this one.
