The Ritz was a theater once. Its past in my Austin memory was as a bar, though. It was part of the East Sixth line of "bars LB and FFP probably won't be going to." But the Alamo Drafthouse folks made it a theater again, taking it over as their downtown Austin location so the Colorado location could become...hmm I think some stupid bar! Good for them. I understand the interior is great and they have their goofy stuff like sing-alongs and quote-alongs going on in this location especially. The sign is neat, too, and it's heartening to see it preserved.
