As a movie, cocktail, and food lover, I loved this spot. I showed up early to snag a drink before and was excited about the additional cool drinks on the menu, but was disappointed when those were not offered within the theater as well, so I was unable to try additional, fancier options, unless outside of the theater in the actual bar before/after the movie. Other than that, the food was great, all of the options I'd want for a movie night at home, just elevated and the service was lovely. If I lived in the area, this would be a frequented spot for me. read more

Call me old-fashioned, but going to the movies should be a RELAXING experience. A fun experience. Came here last night and given the rudest attitude by the server/seater because we didn't show up more than 20 min early to the movie. After being glared at up and down like we were second-class citizens, we were told we couldn't sit together because they can't ask people to move. Got it. We should have been here 45 minutes early, but life happens, and I'm sure another couple (or one person from said couple) wouldn't mind moving over ONE SEAT so that other paying patrons could be granted what they also paid for. Since I thought that was inconsiderate and dismissive of our waiter/server person, we asked for a credit. We wanted to see the movie we paid for on this Friday night but if we couldn't, another Friday night would have to do. We're not unreasonable people. We got it. At this point we are told that credit vouchers are only redeemable Monday through Friday. Interesting... So let's get this straight. We showed up BEFORE the movie started, the person working there couldn't be bothered to ask one man to move his tush one seat over, AND you didn't fulfill on your end of the offer-a FRIDAY night movie... and you think I'm not gonna be annoyed as a paying customer? If I came in for a Friday night movie, at least give me a voucher for that. A movie on a FRIDAY night. It's really not that difficult. If you want to come for a movie here, clear your entire day's schedule beforehand to make sure you can be seated according to the discretion of whoever is working that evening. Do your best to get on that person's good side or else you'll be stared at up and down. And get ready to hear about their fine print Terms and Conditions that don't make any sense. But otherwise, enjoy your movie! read more

Judging by the screen quality and sound, yes, the Dolby theatre on 68th and Broadway is way better, but I am rooting for this place. I saw a re-issue of Mullholand Drive today and the employees were all friendly, I played pool for free for a while upstairs before my movie started. They have hundreds of old VHS tapes on display as if you were in Blockbuster in the 90's again. They have cool paintings on display for sale in the upper level ranging from maybe $300 to $1400. It is weird in a way that there are menus on your table in the theatre, so there is vaguely pressure to order and the waitress checks your ticket and asks if you want to order food or drinks. Very cool but unlike what I have seen. Great place to bring a date, as opposed to an AMC which are all big screens, tons of crowds and activity, etc. read more

Nitehawk Cinema is one of the few dine-in theaters in New York City. You buy your tickets from the kiosks next to the bar. The display case filled with old films and the style of the bar evoke an 80s vibe that's maintained once you sit down. Once you sit down inside a theater, a waiter approaches you and explains how the ordering works. There's a small table between every 2 seats with sheets of paper and pencils. You write down your order and place it into the slot on the table. My friend and I didn't order any food, but watching the movie here was still a good experience. The tickets are only $13 for most of the movies. I didn't find the waiters moving through the aisles too disruptive, and the seats were clean and comfortable. read more

This place is really, really cool - the sort of combo dinner/drinks/movie spot has become a little more commonplace in NYC now but Nitehawk was one of the first to do it, opening in 2011. There are only 4 (I believe) theaters within the cinema so the selection of movies is a little limited, but they're always curated well. Most recently I went to go see the Mr. Rogers documentary after finding that it wasn't showing at most of the theaters around me in Manhattan. Plus, they offer some series or special events (old movies, certain themes, etc). The pre-movie reel always has a cool vintage feel and is customized based on the movie you're going to see. At $12, tickets are a steal for the city. Unfortunately, there is no option to reserve seats ahead of time (to clarify, you can reserve a ticket, just not pick a specific seat), which means that you're forced to show up 30 or so minutes ahead of time for popular showings if you're picky about your view. However, it's not a bad opportunity to kill some time/order drinks/chat. Food is pretty good and reasonable prices for the city. It's by no means the movie theater gouging you might see elsewhere. The beer selection is okay and runs from around $6-$8 depending on what you get. You can also get a $5 draft or well mixed drink with your ticket stub at the bar downstairs. The theater itself is a little run-down/dinky, but I actually think that it enhances the experience. If you're looking for a similar but slightly more commercial enterprise, I'd recommend the Alamo Drafthouse. All in all, would ideally have a larger selection of movies running and the ability to choose seats ahead of time, but a great spot nonetheless. Will absolutely return. read more

I love the concept of the Nitehawk! Grabbing food and drinks while sitting and watching your new favorite movie on a chilly Sunday afternoon. Well I finally made it. And I think it was like prom. You have this idea in your head that it's going to be the night you will never forget!! And instead your date has to straighten his Mohawk and you and your friend are sharing him for prom pics. I arrived a little late to the theater. I had high hopes for Neon Demon but in a reality I knew it might be more aesthetic and the content needs work. The person that was two people ahead of me was taking forever. The guy ahead of me was super nice and suggested I give the "Lobster" movie a whirl. I think my sweat started beading and the guy working there pointed out the ticket machines. By this time I was committed. I see now why there's a bar right next to the ticket counter. I couldn't have used a cold one to calm my nerves. Finally made it to the front and got my ticket. The theater was down some hall and down the stairs. A little maze of a theater. I got in and the theater was dark...real dark ..and it was packed for a Sunday afternoon. I assume the heat made people want to escape to the theater. The seats are set up for two people. It's best to come here as a couple or with a friend. I would not recommend coming here solo. It was slightly awkward eating so close to some stranger chowing down on popcorn. I will say that the people working here must eat tons of carrots because I have no idea how they can see where people are sitting or if people have an order. They do notice and now I'm convinced that this is where X-Men get jobs to use their night vision. My heirloom tomato and burrata crostini was delicious! I wanna return with friends and get a bucket of fancy popcorn or a date night. I liked the bar upstairs and would come just to hang out and I'd be even cooler if they played a movie in there. read more

Nitehawk is something every person whose a native or visiting New York MUST experience. This is not your average cliché movie theatre experience. Nitehawk gives you the experience of getting in a time machine and stepping back into the 60's. A theater that plays indie films and Old School Classics and new releases ?! A theater that features a Full Bar and separate Bar Lounge?! A theatre that plays Drake and has a dope playlist so you can rock out while you wait for your theater's seating to open up?! A Full Dining Menu and Wait Staff??! That's Nitehawk. Nestled in WillyB home of the hipsters is Nitehawk. A vintage style old school theater. I really loved the flair of this theater and what the owners accomplished here. If you've never been to Williamsburg you'll have an introduction to its culture at Nitehawk. The theater is decorated with lots of old vhs covers and posters of old actors and actresses. The theaters and service bar were upstairs on the top floor. We picked up our tickets we ordered online from the kiosk and headed over to the bar. I had a Ginger Whiskey which was o.k. We got in line for seating to open up. I STRONGLY advise you arrive at least 45 minutes before your showtime. You will be forced to sit in the nosebleed section if you choose otherwise. You have been warned. This is not assigned seating. This is 1st finders keepers. Each theater is very small. Old fashioned viewing rooms and about 30-40 seats. I came to see Quentin Tarantino ' s The Hateful 8 with my homie. I had been planning to see it with him for sometime and premiere night at Nitehawk presented the perfect opportunity. I loved how they paid homage to Tarantino by showcasing a tribute to all his films prior to the previews. My ONLY issue with this theater is the painfully uncomfortable seats. The seats are aircraft small and if you are a curvy woman with hips or thighs OR a BADUNKADUNK, this is not the place for you! If you are packing a few pounds, you will NOT, I repeat honestly, YOU WILL NOT FIT IN THE SEAT. I have warned you. Seats are so close, you may knock over the person next to you ' s cocktail or plate of food when you get up. I don't know how I survived sitting in those upright coach aircraft seats for 3 Hours worth of Tarantino. The MENU: Nitehawk has a little something for everyone. I recommend the following staple items: *QUESO and Tortilla chips. Real mexican Queso, Velveeta style with fresh jalapeños, Cilantro and Guacamole. This was like...a Fiesta in my mouth. You have the option to add black beans as well. The chips were crisp and fresh. I only wish they were served warmed. *The Seasonal Popcorn was delicious! Maple Honey Butter Cinnamon Toast Crunch. This was addicting! !! I don't even like popcorn but couldn't stop munching!! When I saw this on the menu, I had to have it! It was soooo good. Tasted like buttery cinnamon toast crunch on popcorn. My homie ordered a spiked Apple Cider with whiskey. Very delicious on a cold winter night. Nitehawk is definitely a abstract idea for a 1st Date and I'm definitely coming back for a movie & brunch. read more

I really love the ambience of this theater. My boyfriend took me to this theater last night to watch BlacKkKlansman. Every two seats has a small table between them so people can eat and order drinks throughout the movie. They play lots of known and not so well-known movies. During the summer, they're also playing old midnight movies like Eraserhead--at midnight. Every theater room is small and cozy, so there's not that many people. Waiters come by every so often to see if anyone's ordered drinks or food. There's also a bar downstairs and a small one upstairs near the theater rooms. This theater feels old and cool, and I would come here to watch all the movies my boyfriend and I want to see. read more

Feels so normal to be in a cinema after 16 months!! Great location, only $15 / ticket, food and drinks are served to you at the table and amazing decor! Try to come early and enjoy the bar before your movie read more

Love love love this movie theater :). My boyfriend and I came here to watch the best rom com movie ever--When Harry Met Sally. The brunch menu was awesome and came with a free drink (one coffee for me, one Bloody Mary for the bf). REMEMBER TO HOLD ON TO YOUR TICKET ONCE THEY PRINT IT OUT! They print a ticket once you show them your reservation and I forgot I slipped it into my bag and then my bf had to run around asking for them to print another one but their system doesn't allow them to print more than one copy. So, just hold on to it. read more

Went here Thursday afternoon and lucked out with a virtually empty theater so it felt like we rented out the place LOL. Rebecca at the bar was A-MA-ZING and so was Jacques. Perfect service and cannot wait to go back. read more

This place is located right in the center of all the trendy bars and clothing shops. The service was great and they bring the drinks and food to you so quickly with no interruption! It was great. The chairs was surprisingly comfortable even though they didn't recline. The theater had a lot of stairs to and from different theaters so if you have bad knees, you'll want to be sure they can accommodate you or go to bathroom before you go to your seat. I was glad my disabled mom decided to not join us. Don't forget to take a walk to the bay 2 blocks away at sunset if you're watching one of the night showings. It's beautiful on a summer night! read more

After going to this theater once, we became a big fan. Interesting old movies and great food, what a perfect combination! This time, we went to see old classic action movie. The theater was clean as before, and the staff there are very nice and friendly. Definitely one of THE best dine-in movie theater in NY. Their food is high quality, and at good price. read more

I don't know why every theatre doesn't take notes from Nitehawk. Everything about this place is wonderful. Parking was a breeze (we had a 7:15 show on a Saturday). We bought our tickets in advance so when we got to the theatre the machines were right in the lobby to pick them up. Before getting in line we grabbed a drink at the upstairs lobby bar. Hubby had a beer and I had a specialty drink on tap (made with Pimm's which made me incredibly happy because not many places serve it let alone make specialty drinks with it) and it was $20 for both. Typical Williamsburg prices. Once inside there's really no bad seat in the theatre. It was super clean and well-lit just enough to be able to read your menu and see your food. We ordered more drinks (obvi.), the tots with queso, buffalo chicken flatbread and the Muffuletta sandwich. All of the food was delicious and hot when it came out. I've heard from other people that the menu changes seasonally. I really loved the whole experience at Nitehawk and will definitely be back. read more

Excellent theater with nice reclining chairs. I love that the tables move in and out so you can comfortably sit in the seat and then bring the table close to you. Very clean. read more

One of my new favorite dine- in movie theaters . When you walk in there's a nice bar downstairs for you to get a drink before the movie or just drink and dash without a movie . They get nice and packed on the weekends . Once you head upstairs incase you decided downstairs was too much there's another bar with a cute 50s vibe for your viewing and hanging pleasure . They definitely don't skimp on the alcohol which I appreciate. I'd recommend getting there early before show time to pick a good seat . Seats are comfy and the middle arm rest goes up if you like to cuddle :) food is impeccable. I like that they tailor the menus to the movies nice touch . We had the tots which had the perfect crunch to soft ratio and the queso which is HANDS DOWN THE BEST I've ever had . You sincerely can't go wrong coming here . read more

I can't lie -- I love Nitehawk. It lives up to the hype for sure. I don't often enjoy watching movies -- so Nitehawk kind of combines enough things I like to make it all enjoyable. 1. Old movies 2. Booze 3. Good food 4. Comfy seats. The ticket prices aren't gauged tho they could be. Around 14-15 dollars a pop with cocktails being an average of 12/14 bucks. The cocktails aren't something to write home about (usually) I would suggest you just bring your own booze. The cinema is well maintained, host interesting events, and have pretty helpful staff. Their food is good! Popcorn is fabolous! If you're a film purist I would suggest the 3pm shows or the midnight shows of something extremely obscure. It's an experience I really enjoy and definitely would hop on the chance to go anytime something I'm interested is on. read more

Came here for a Doc screening. Bar on street-level is great. Good bar food too. The movie theater staff are friendly and helpful. Love their whole concept of movie and dinner. Great service. Highly recommend it. read more

I went to nite hawk cinema for the first time last night. I wish I had listened to the reviewer who suggested arriving about 45 minutes early for seat selection. We arrived about 20 minutes early found seats in the back (the only ones available) only to be told about 5 minutes before the film that someone had been sitting there but had gone to the bathroom (for 15 minutes?) it would have been nice to have left something behind to signal she had been sitting there or asked someone to save her seat.She was by herself and wasn't open to sitting at the empty single seat just a few seats down so we could have the two seats side by side. She had every right to say no but it did put a slight damper on the evening. Needless to say GET THERE EARLY. Our only option was to sit in the very first row where the AC is directly blasted onto your face and throat. This is very much a couples theater with the set up of the table for eating in between two chairs. The food was very tasty and the servers weren't distracting as they dropped off the food or picked up the order. If you want water please bring a water bottle. I guess they don't serve tap water ( I kept asking on the note and received nothing) and I didn't want to pay $6 for a cup or bottle. The risotto balls were very delicious, I wish more came in an order. All and all it's a good theater, huge screen, good food options, good date option. read more

I rarely give 5 starts, I think this is my first but I'm just really impressed with this theater. Small but cozy, the staff is super friendly and courteous, it's clean and comfy and the best it has waiter service. I went for a screening and I got to see a movie, eat unlimited popcorn, two alcoholic drinks and some hair clips for free... one word: Awesome! Close enough to the city, first stop in brooklyn on the L train. read more

Hi Folks & Wow, I'm really blown away by the yummy concept of The Nighthawk Cinema. Nitehawk in Brooklyn is a small-sized theater. On a busy night it might be sold out. No worries friends, just get out your smartphonet to buy your tickets online It's pretty much the way to go. You can go to https//nitehawkcinema.comwilliamsburg/purchase/3254753/ Welcome all to the smartest idea in movie going! Dinner and a date all in one joint. What a great concept and Soo cool. You can have a delicious theme inspired Dinner with your feature film. What a GREAT time saver when you wanna do dinner n movie. Well, I'm hungry and I wanna movie...Soo I'm I'm in. Go in the front street entrance and up the stairs to where the bar is and the movie waiting area. You can have a drink or 2 while waiting for your theater To be available. We were lucky and it was time to go in right away. The moviegoer must then descend down a small, dimly-lit narrow cement stairwell. Then through a institutional style steel door to access the theater. I swear I was feeling like Joe Pesci. I thought it was a setup with some guy waiting at the bottom of the stairs on the other side of the door. I even let the people in back of me go in first. Hahaha. Entry into theater to was a delightful experience. A smallish little theater in which the seating had little tables for eating and drinkin. So cool I loved it immediately. Each table had 2 seats, the waiter came immediately to introduce himself & give menus. I started with a Coke and a big dish of truffle glazed popcorn. The popcorn and drinks came within 5 minutes, what a great start. I'm going to really like this place. I ordered the tater tots, crunchy fish tacos and Duck kabobs. Everything came to the table in 15 minutes. The food servers worked quietly and almost unnoticeably. Several times I didn't even realize they had cleared the plates. They didn't get in the way of the movie at all. It made the whole experience of dinner and a movie work smoothly and seamlessly. Also available is also a dine-and-dash feature that you can select which automatically bills the credit card that you used to buy the tickets. My friend and I had a great time, a wonderful dinner and movie experience. The food was fresh and hot and the movie was weird and artsy. On the way out passing the bar upstairs I got a Jack Daniels which was a Perfect end to the experience. We loved coming here on a busy Friday night, the neighborhood had such a cool Vibe. There was another theater next door and a Rockin and Rollin bar right on the corner. Can't wait for my next visit. read more

Best date spot in Williamsburg, with my favorite cocktail, the Fire Walk With Me. Take me there, and I'll probably make out with you after.

Best programming and the best popcorn. You can't go wrong with a visit to Nitehawk! Their brunch and midnight screenings are always a treat.

Saw three movies here this summer. There's so much to love! Staff are super nice. Food is good--waffle-fried tenders are my go-to order right now. And the best part of all? The audience is respectful. I haven't experienced that anywhere else (no, not even Alamo). No cell phones or side convos. It's just so damn refreshing. read more

I live in Florida and visit Brooklyn 2 x's a year- Where do I go? Nitehawk. This place gives Alamo Drafthouse a serious run for its money. The atmosphere , the staff & the cocktails here are incredibly dope and they show some fun movies. Last year we saw Beetlejuice on there Saturday Brunch and we've been there roughly 4 times more. The bartenders are all real cool, communicative and talented. I just flatout love this theater. I look forward to seeing some expansion from them as long as they keep their touch on quality and heart! read more

Good mix of mainstream, indie, and cult classic movies, though heavy on the first. I treated myself to a Sunday brunch watching Get Out a couple months ago. Tickets were $12 ahead of time. Food prices are not too bad, and the brunch menu is a pretty good deal. I had the salmon crostini and I was reasonably impressed-- generous portions on the fish and the cream cheese. The mimosa was average. I also had a special sake-based cocktail (for Ghost in the Shell, ugh), which was fine; the sake was oxidized but it was balanced and refreshing. Overall, all the food was well-executed but not outstanding. Service was very good; the ordering and payment process is a well-oiled machine. Get there a couple of minutes before to order if possible. Seats are comfy. I've been meaning to make it here for a late night movie, as the offerings then are more my speed (midnight Fellini!). Better amenities than your typical theater but without the stuffiness or added cost of iPic and other "luxury theaters." A cool spot. read more

My favorite place in NYC! Can't wait to come back when it's safe for them to re-open. Both the truffle popcorn and the Fire Walk With Me (drink) are must-haves... every time. But you really can't go wrong here. The menu is just the best. All of the cocktails are amazing and the staff is awesome -- super nice and respectful of the movie, etc. Brunch is great but so is late night! Other DELICIOUS things my bf and I recommend: Nitehawk Burger, Fried Chicken Sandwich, and TOTS (with queso). I'm not even going to get into the ambience fully. It's just great. Comfy reserved seating, good quality sound/video, laid back retro type vibe, smart and efficient process for ordering food/bev. Truly can't say enough good stuff about this place. They also have showings of some awesome classics on a regular basis and some extra dope showings during the holidays. Please donate to the staff fund on GoFundMe if you can!! https://gf.me/u/ykc3g4 HANG IN THERE, GUYS! read more

I truly enjoy the experience of going to the movies here in the larger theater. It's nice to have a meal while you watch a movie. The smaller theater is ok, but not as good because the screen is so small. The wait staff are usually fantastic. Before the movie is played, they have these VHS videos which I always enjoy! The movie selections are OK - very mainstream overall which I'm sure they have to do to keep selling tickets. I wish they had a selection like Metrograph in the city, but what can you do. I took off a star because the food is not that great. I like the chicken burger and usually get that with tater tots. The burger is usually very dry. If you get French fries, they are typically over cooked & over greased. I've had the duck tacos which are not too offensive. And I've tried a bunch of the desserts, all of them super gross. Other than that, it's a good experience. read more

I really don't like this concept. I saw a film there this morning, and the waiters are constantly coming in and out of the doors, so you end up seeing light bleed at the perimeter of the theatre. I'm someone who is easily distracted (ADHD) and I found it incredibly difficult to focus on the film when my eyes darted to the door each time it opened. Plus, the waiters constantly cross below the screen, they crouch down (or try to, they are not always successful, you constantly see a head in shadow or tufts of hair flying by the bottom of the movie screen). To make matters more frustrating, they actually bring food to people who are in the MIDDLE of the row, AND clear their trays/cups, and deliver the bill, and retrieve the bill. So if someone orders food, there is a water crossing in front of you, maybe even lingering in front of you at a minimum of four times during the movie, and this can happen for as many times people order a menu item. ITS SO DISTURBING. Plus, if you're like me, sometimes you HAVE to stretch your legs forward (not so good knees) I shouldn't have to be mindful of waiters moving back and forth at a MOVIE. Yes absolutely, if a fellow patron is exiting the row, please make room for them, but staff has no place marching up and down a row. I really don't want to have to adjust my position every 10 minutes after I've become comfortable to avoid tripping a waiter. Plus, they bring your your check about 30 minutes before the film is over, so when you see them delivering the bill, you are taken out of the experience because you think "Oh I guess there is only 30 minutes left of the film." People, if you see a movie here, PLEASE DO YOUR FELLOW PATRON A FAVOR AND DO NOT ORDER ONCE THE MOVIE BEGINS. PLEASE. I hated it here. The staff was at least friendly, hence the two stars. read more

I love that it is so easy to redeem my MoviePass here. I am not forced through annoying bag checks and the bartending staff upstairs is nice enough to keep my company as I am always early... The food and drink menu are pretty reliable -- In Austin, I was used to the waiters saying "I'm sorry that beer or food item is no longer available tonight" so this is refreshing to say the least. read more

Have had (2) bad experiences in a row now. First, bought weekend tickets with a friend and when we showed up the film as sold out. Thoughtfully, they gave us a voucher to come back and see the film at a later time. Second bad experience, booked (3) tickets with friends and went to use the voucher and it's only valid on weekdays and it's required that you email ahead of time. My friends are all now at the film- I am waiting for 2 hours while they finish. :( read more

What a great place! My girlfriend and I have been wanting to go here for months and we finally went last night to see Joker. I wasn't 100% sure how the ordering food in our seats would work during the movie, but it really works well! The staff walking around is not distracting at all and they are very efficient. The seats (while not recliners like at big chains) are VERY comfortable. Honestly, maybe even more comfortable than reclining ones. And the food/drinks were way better than I think people would expect. Really funny and clever names and themes on their menus and pre-movie promos. Overall, we loved this place and we can't wait to go back and see another movie! read more

Nitehawk Cinema - Nitehawk Popcorn (sub coconut oil to be vegan) and Hummus Tray - Cinema Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

This theater is SO DOPE! Came here for one of their special screenings and the presentation of the films was solid. I love that this is a dine-in theater as well. I had the tater tots which were yummy and I found their system of taking orders to be super convenient and creative. The lighting under the table makes it easy to read the menu without disturbing the people around you. All you have to do is write your order on the small pieces of paper they provide then put it in the spring on the edge of the table. Also enjoyed hanging out at their bar after the screening. Can't wait to come back to this place whenever I visit NYC. read more

Nitehawk Cinema - Outside of Nitehawk Cinema -Williamsburg - Cinema Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

This truly presents a rating dilemma. The Nitehawk has a terrible idea designed to capitalize on unfortunate societal trends, but the execution of this idea is almost perfect. Spoiled brats who grew up devouring Frosted Flakes at a tray table while watching "Growing Pains" may have found it a great hardship that for two hours their culinary options were limited to popcorn and candy. And OMG two hours without a beer?! So with multi-tasking, alcoholism and I WANT IT NOW attitudes more prevalent than ever, Nitehawk is probably a good idea from a capitalist standpoint. But food-ordering, eating and payment are distractions from the cinematic experience. A movie shouldn't be treated like Monday Night Football. The staff does a fine job in minimizing distraction through good choreography and touches like a small light to read the check. But it's still not a pure moviegoing vibe. I commend Nitehawk for playing "Roar," in which lions caused actual injuries to the actors, among them a young Melanie Griffith. The visuals were more interesting than the hokey 70s dialogue so I didn't need to hear every word, but generally I don't think serious movie-watchers need to eat a duck confit sandwich simultaneously. To be fair, the burger and the iced tea were good. read more

Decided to give this place a try. It's not my cup of tea. Too distracting with the waiters walking between the aisles. My seats were near the front of the screen which is where the door to the kitchen is. So, that opening and closing of the door was really annoying to me. I think that it's a nice concept and I'm glad I got to experience it. But, prob won't be going back. Well, not to watch a horror film. Need quiet for that. read more

Came here for the first time tonight and loved it. The theaters are small and intimate, and the food and drinks were amazing. The staff was very discreet and unnoticeable during the film (in a good way!). I had the TE Lawrence, Brussels sprouts and chicken sandwich, my boyfriend had the grilled cheese. All the food was incredible, not just good but great! Will definitely come back. Also--don't leave a negative review just because you can't load your tickets or take a screenshot of them in advance. That's not on the theater, it's on you. read more

Came here for Spoons, Toons & Booze on a Saturday morning with friends and we all thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. They have a cereal bar inside the theater which is self-serve and they also have cereal themed cocktails to order at your seat. I had the Complete Breakfast (Cinnamon Toast Crunch infused vodka, iced coffee and Bailey's) and The Sonny (a white Russian topped with Cocoa Puffs) - both were amazing. You can also get individual shots of Bailey's or Kahlua to put in your cereal! I ordered the Nitehawk Benedict for brunch which was 2 sausage patties, poached eggs, tater tots and a chipotle hollandaise. It was good, not amazing, so I'd probably stick to the cereal next time or maybe try one of their other dishes. Boyfriend and I also shared the Booze Root Beer float which was just as amazing as it sounds. There were two hosts for the event which made it really fun in between cartoons, when they would host trivia contests and give out prizes to audience participants. After the show, everyone went down to the Low-Res Bar and if you had your drink ticket you got another drink half off! They continued to play cartoons down there so it was kind of like an after party :) The staff is really friendly and service is excellent, both at the bar and in the theater. I'd love to come back for this event again, or maybe even try a movie there! read more
