Rebuilt directly adjacent to the South Lamar theater (details and photos here!) and including much of the original’s furniture, equipment and wall finishes, The Highball will officially reopen Saturday, August 16th with its full service bar, uniquely themed karaoke rooms, dance floor, stage, and lounge area, along with its newest feature, a formal outdoor patio. While no longer featuring bowling, the original Highball’s classic bowling lanes have been repurposed into a dance floor, a bar top, ceiling details, and benches.

The Highball’s new food menu, designed by Alamo Research and Development Chef Jason Donoho, features a mix of classic favorites and new items. Continuing to highlight the best in craft beer, The Highball features 24 taps that include two spots for draft cocktails designed by Alamo Beverage Director Bill Norris. Alamo Drafthouse was thrilled to work with longtime Alamo programmer and friend Zack Carlson and his wife Laura Fleischauer of Space Warp Design to create The Highball’s new karaoke rooms. Zack and Laura (pictured below) were like kids in a candy store as their imaginations ran wild designing each karaoke room’s mind-blowing theme. The state-of-the-art karaoke rooms feature new song lists, voice synthesizers, and cocktail bottle service. Room descriptions are below:
