Alhambra Dinner Theatre, Restaurant and theatre building in Jacksonville, United States
The Alhambra Dinner Theatre is a combined restaurant and performance venue in Jacksonville that serves meals during shows throughout the year. The space features a sizable stage and seating for about 408 guests who dine while watching the productions.
The venue was founded in 1967 by businessman Leon Simon and became the longest continuously operating dinner theater in the United States. The establishment has shaped the local theater scene since that period and continues to present work regularly.
The theater presents multiple productions throughout the year, ranging from classic musicals to contemporary plays with both local and established performers. These shows shape the cultural life of the city and draw audiences who appreciate combining dining with live entertainment.
The venue is located in northeastern Florida and operates several days per week with table service during performances. Visitors should plan ahead since the experience combines dining and theater, with both elements equally important to enjoy the full program.
The theater survived closure during the 2009 economic recession when local investors acquired and renovated the building to keep operations going. This rescue allowed the venue to continue its mission of entertainment and shared experience for the community.
