The theater boasts versatile show times that make it convenient to swoon over the radiating charm of Penélope Cruz in Broken Embraces or marvel at Nicolas Cage’s wild-eyed portrayal in Bad Lieutenant while enjoying a refreshing beer or latte at your seat (films subject to change). In addition to being one of San Antonio’s only indie-focused theaters, Bijou is part of the family-owned, Texas-based Santikos movie-theater chain. Like a shot of espresso injected into your heart, Bijou Cinema Bistro packs a potent punch. It's the perfect alternative to a traditional Valentine's Day spent at a demolition derby. For $9, you’ll get a ticket to any show, a large bucket of popcorn, and a 32-ounce soda (an $18 value with an adult ticket) to this swank Balcones Heights art-flick hotspot that's recognized as one of San Antonio’s best by San Antonio Current and San Antonio Express-News. I have been to just about every Santikos location in the past and never had nearly as bad the experience as I did at Bijou.Avoid common movie-going maladies, such as popcorn paucity, soda scantiness, and sticky-shoe syndrome with today’s Groupon to Bijou Cinema Bistro. One couple next to us brought an outside beverage then a woman who seemed to be a manager passed by and literaly snatched their unfinished drink. In a loud voice she told them they can make their way out if they have any other outside food. I understand why bringing outside food would be a problem but there are different ways to explain this to guest and stealing their drinks and yelling made everyone around them feel uncomfortable.

#The bijou san antonio how toĪs we walked out that same lady had all her staff seated in front of her and she was lecturing on how to I repeat" made customers want more food". If they want to teach their employees sales tactics they can do so after everyone left in private so guest do not feel just like $$. I give this theatre a 1 star level just because theres no less rating than that, this was my first experience at this place, i had a situation, i bought my tickets online where they charged me even tho there was an error and the screen said to try again later cause something went wrong, and when i went to the actual building to talk and explained what happened the lady manager wasnt helpful at all, she didnt even try to log in on the system or anything, the other 2 guy managers were helpful but she seemed to be a store manager or something for the way she was dressed, unfortunately i dont know her name but was the only girl manager on the floor both times, when I left i said thank you and never looked at me or answer back, Im really disappointed cause this is the person is supposed to help and she made me left the place upset, NEVER GOING BACK THERE! This location has a lot to learn from other locations if they dont want to go broke given the fact that the theater was dead on a friday night! Restrooms were also not very well maintained and seats had popcorn remains. I love Santikos and I loved Wonderland Mall. Honestly, I think it would be the perfect place to do the "Sneak" concept.

When I was living in Hamburg Germany, there was a little movie theater.not unlike the Bijou.that used to have Friday night "Sneaks". You would pay matinee price in the evening to see a movie that was not yet released in the main theaters (maybe a week early or more). The catch was.you didnt know what the movie was going to be.It was a surprise! The trailers (some of them old) would hint to the theme or genre of the film and guests would have to guess what they were watching. Sometimes the movies were a disappointment.they were not all mainstream, big budget films.although some were. Would love to see Bijou do something like that.
