Flix Brewhouse, located at 120 W Loop 289 in Lubbock, is preparing a major renovation of its theater space. According to a recent Facebook post from the venue, the upgrades will begin in October and include new flooring, luxury recliner chairs, and a state‑of‑the‑art projection system.
Temporary Service Adjustments
During the renovation, the kitchen will be placed on “intermission,” meaning classic food items such as burgers, wings and other entrees will be unavailable for a short period. Patrons will still be able to purchase popcorn, candy, soda and the venue’s full selection of alcoholic beverages.
Enhanced Viewing Experience
The upgraded projection equipment promises brighter colors, deeper blacks and a sharper image. The theater’s manager noted that the improved contrast will especially benefit horror and action titles, allowing viewers to see details that were previously muted.
Luxury Recliner Seating
One of the most anticipated changes is the replacement of the former theater seats with recliner chairs. The new seating is designed to give guests more personal space, eliminating the cramped feeling that some longtime moviegoers experienced in the previous layout. The recliners will also allow diners to enjoy meals without having to sit too close to neighbors.
Upcoming Film Schedule
Even with the temporary kitchen pause, Flix Brewhouse will continue to show a full slate of films. Upcoming titles include the new Resident Evil release, Practical Magic 2, and special event screenings such as Pee Wee’s Big Adventure on September 25 and The Thing on October 10.
Community Impact
The renovation reflects Flix Brewhouse’s commitment to providing a modern, comfortable entertainment option for Lubbock families and movie enthusiasts. By investing in higher‑quality seating and projection, the theater aims to remain a competitive choice in the local market, supporting jobs and contributing to the downtown economy.
