For one show only, to honor our fallen friend Patrick Swayze, Master Pancake resurrects one of their most requested mocks ever: ROAD HOUSE (1989). Weâll be donating a hefty percentage of the nightâs proceeds to PanCAN, the Pancreatic Cancer Action Network, to help battle the disease that took down our hero, as we mock ROAD HOUSE, the Citizen Kane of bouncer movies, and possibly the most entertainingly cheesy movie of all time. ROAD HOUSE tells the story of James Dalton, an itinerant Zen bouncer (or "cooler" as it's called in the trade) played by Patrick Swayze who comes to town and uses his incredible cooling powers and Zen wisdom ("Pain donât hurt") to help turn a seedy whisky joint into a somewhat less seedy whisky joint by teaching a ragtag gang of lovable losers to believe in themselves and, more importantly, to spot a knife hidden in a shoe from 40 feet away ("Right boot"!). Swayze adds a real touch of class to this otherwise ridiculous B-grade actioner. Come on out as Master Pancake showers this movie with their own brand of affection and helps give a roundhouse kick to Pancreatic Cancer.

More about Alamo Drafthouse Downtown
Alamo Drafthouse Downtown
The Alamo Drafthouse Cinema is Austin's only independently owned and operated movie theater. We serve a full menu of dinner and drinks to your seat while you watch the movie. The theater is laid out like a traditional movie theater, except every other row of seats has been replaced with a long narrow table for your food and drinks. Those who have never been to the Alamo may worry about disruptions during the movie, but we have devised an ordering system that minimizes interaction during the film, allowing you to order, eat and enjoy the movie with minimal distraction. We recommend arriving early; seating begins 45 minutes before the show and there is always pre-movie entertainment on the screen while you wait for the movie. We have waiters that serve you at your seat; orders before the movie begins are taken in the traditional way. Once the movie starts if you need anything at all, there is paper and pencils at the table, write down what you need on the paper, stand the paper up on the card holder attached to the table. This acts as a flag, your waiter will only come by if he sees the card, otherwise he will stay out of your way so you can enjoy the film.The Alamo Drafthouse Theater box office opens 45 minutes before all scheduled showtimes. Patrons are welcome to enjoy drinks and appetizers before the film. A rotating program of vintage cartoons and shorts play before the film. Advance tickets are now available online for all shows.
General Admission to the Alamo Drafthouse Cinema is $7.00, $5.50 student/senior (60+)/AFS/Heroes of the Alamo members. All patrons must be 18 years or older or be accompanied by a parent. Children under 6 are not admitted at any time. Some special event screenings are higher priced, please check the individual show listings for accuarte pricing.
