The DTLA skyline views are incredible--watching the sunset turn into city lights while the movie started made everything feel so romantic and magical. We snagged a loveseat, which was super comfy for cuddling up, and the wireless headphones gave us crystal-clear sound without any outside noise interrupting the classic lines and soundtrack. The vibe on the rooftop is relaxed but lively--great drinks and snacks to enjoy before the film starts. Pretty Woman felt even more special in this open-air setting; we were both smiling and quoting lines the whole time. My girlfriend absolutely loved it, and so did I. If you're looking for a fun, memorable way to watch a movie (especially a rom-com on a date), this is it. Highly recommend-- we'll definitely be back for more screenings!

Great experience! Saw Scott Pilgrim on a Friday night. Was able to park across the street in an…read moreopen lot for about 10 bucks. Enter the hotel through the garage and you'll see signage for the Rooftop Cinema Club. About halfway down the garage, there'll be an attendant helping people up the elevator. It's a little bit of a maze but there's tons of signage and people to help along the way! I got the loveseat fire package and was able to choose either a complimentary hot chocolate or popcorn. Our seat was next to a real wood fire which was great for the cold LA night! There's also a bar - beers, wine, and canned cocktails available. There weren't any entree type of meals but there were tons of snacks like candy, chips, popcorn, hot dogs, and pretzels. They gave us Bluetooth headphones for the movie. The sound wasn't great - definitely not full frequency but it did the job. The headphone's clamp force was also quite tight. The seating is all first come first serve no matter what package you get. We came early to get good seats but honestly it didn't look like there was a bad seat in the house. The screen is up high and large so you could really sit anywhere and still have a good view. They also had games laid out to play while you waited for the movie to start. The whole staff was super friendly and helpful. Definitely a great experience! The only thing I would change is getting better quality headphones. Or allowing movie goers to bring their own headphones and connect via Bluetooth.

(Attended 07/20/19 SA @ 4:45pm and many times before): I ate... I saw... I heard!…read more Eat See Hear descended upon L.A. State Historic Park in Chinatown for a screening of "Romy And Michele's High School Reunion" https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?select=J_opIRYcD5NywArq6Yy5wg&userid=8jVT2inwc8GIQ6sH2UG9Vw. Dubbed "LA's premier outdoor movie, food truck, and live music event series", this annual summer-long traveling entertainment circus (since 2012) made its way across various iconic venues throughout Los Angeles with its unmistakeable 3 1/2-story tall inflatable high-definition screen deemed the "biggest of its kind on the West Coast". A self-contained event, you were allowed to bring your own chairs, food, etc.. Pet-friendly with water bowls and treats throughout the venue, they tied themselves to the non-profit organization Best Friends Animal Society Los Angeles and No Kill Los Angeles (NKLA) to help with pet adoption. Would this nostalgic return and revamped idea of the drive-in movie pull at my sentimental strings to return for more!? PURCHASE General Admission Ticket/Seat ($14.00 + fees) - Purchased online (priced higher at the door the day of the event), this was open seating, so first come-first served. Armed with a low chair (ABSOLUTELY NO TALL CHAIRS), blanket, cushion, and pillow to sit on just in case, I claimed an unobstructed spot center screen at the very top of the seating area. Tickets also gained access to food trucks and live pre-movie music performance. Below were other ticketing options (things brought were the same): 1. Fashionably Late Tickets ($21.00 + fees - online purchase only) offered a limited quantity of guaranteed open seating tickets in a reserved area at the front of the house that allowed you to arrive at any time (hopefully before the movie started!). 2. Kids 12 & Under Tickets (approx. $8.00 + fees) offered the same as "General Admission". 3. Groups of 10 or more had group rates available. Live Music - A four-piece female-led L.A.-based band named "Lucy & La Mer" played melodic pop music that reminded me of The Asteroids Galaxy Tour and 10,000 Maniacs both I'm fans of. Their breezy chill music was perfect for a relaxing hot Saturday evening https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?select=agiSXIbbbsEISNq6gguTiA&userid=8jVT2inwc8GIQ6sH2UG9Vw. Food Trucks - Chanco's Tacos, Baby Badass Burgers, L.A. Donut, Pinch Of Flavor (see separate review), and more. All accepted credit cards https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?select=TIXwuenAbchDX1DAMGCw3A&userid=8jVT2inwc8GIQ6sH2UG9Vw. Vendors - Tillamook Ice Cream, Radio.com, and title sponsor Showtime (who gave away chairs!) were supporting partners who had giveaways https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?select=aLwm8nibpidofk48V5tf3Q&userid=8jVT2inwc8GIQ6sH2UG9Vw. SERVICE The online purchase was a breeze. There was excellent pedestrian and street directional signage to the main entrance. Marked signs once inside led you where to set up camp, restroom area, etc.. Both audio and visual systems were surprisingly clean and clear. There were the customary long food truck lines akin to L.A. traffic without the bad drivers. There were no onsite ATM machines. Generally-speaking, everything was fine and ran smoothly. PARKING (Varied; FREE this instance) Plenty of parking on the woodchips along the sidewalk. Otherwise, there was an abundance of timed parking along the main drag of Spring St. and all surrounding streets (FREE after 6pm) and $10 onsite parking. The Chinatown Gold Line Station and a bustop were about a 7-minute walk. Another option was to hire a driving service like a taxi, Lyft, or Uber. ATMOSPHERE, DÉCOR, AMBIENCE A large open-air grass field https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?select=P9gObCbeS5F9zUF89oj3Fw&userid=8jVT2inwc8GIQ6sH2UG9Vw, it was everyone for themselves as the gates opened and throngs of guests flooded in! Designated smoking areas were in the parking lot. Upon entering, you passed the sponsors area and porta-potties, then the lawn, and finally the food trucks all the way across. The music stage was at the foot of the screen, but wished they had a camera that projected the performance onto the screen. Exposed to the elements, you heard random sounds from conversations, dogs barking, and vehicle traffic, etc.. The aforementioned gigantic movie screen was your TV while DJ Howly and the live band provided the music. ATTIRE Totally casual, so I would normally be in a t-shirt, boardshorts, and flip-flops. OVERALL Eat See Hear at Chinatown's L.A. State Historic Park was my second favorite location because it was close to home, easy Metro train access, beautiful surroundings, and a ton of free parking. This concept was popular enough for others to imitate. The onsite staff were very charming and helpful. I found complete value based on the prices, service, and experience noted above (TOTAL paid experience was around $16.00; no tip required). And, they accepted my credit card of choice...AMEX! 5.0 STARS

STEPH JUDGEMENT: A special theater for special movies…read more The hubby and I'd been here a couple of times, but it had been quite a while. Driving all the way up here from Long Beach to watch just any movie is not an option. When we found out about Kill Bill: The Whole Bloody Affair, though, a 4.5 hour extravaganza where they showed the two entire movies back to back, we were in! We had a bit of time to kill (haha) before the movie so we went to the bar to hang out, relax, and take in the atmo (fun decor and merch, vintage arcade games). The bartender was nice and efficient. Once the show was ready to start we headed up that long escalator to the floor with the theaters. It had been so long I'd forgotten all about the wacky, schlocky, awesome sci-fi and horror vintage foreign movie posters that lined the hallway. Almost worth the price of admission alone. Another thing we love about Alamo are the collection of shorts they play before a movie that's related to the upcoming feature. In this case it was the 70s Kung Fu movies that inspired much of the Kill Bill movies and they were so much fun! I hadn't seen a lot of this footage since I was a kid (and the Chemical Brothers video for "Get Yourself High"--look it up, you're gonna love it) so it was quite a treat. I hadn't seen the movies in a long time too so there were a lot of details I'd forgotten about, making for a delightful re-watch. The 4.5 hours flew by, and we left with smiles on our faces.

There's a good drink and food selection and they usually have a lot to do to reach out to the cinema going community, it's always been a nice vibe. They have had good selections in what to play, but the recent updates to their food ordering is counterintuitive to the original spirit of what Drafthouse was known for. This isn't against the staff, they've always been helpful and courteous as long as you followed their rules. Private equity ruins all good things, which is a shame because Drafthouse was one of the first theater chains to reinvigorate the community to come out to the movies.

Automatic doors don't work. Security at the front door to check bags. I preordered my snacks didn't realize I had to send them a notification to say I wanted my order made... I thought it would be ready based off my movie time and I could grab & go -- nope had to wait. Inquired when the movie would start told "it officially starts at 1:20pm" I thought: okay, cool! After some time: Food was finally ready then I have to show my ticket!? Recommendations: The security check and ticket check should be combined. No one has time to go through security checks, grab snacks then try to fumble thru your phone with snacks to show a ticket.... Irritant: The person who checked my ticket... did not do a great job at articulating herself "take 2 elevators or you can take the escalator in the back"!? Two elevators!? Girl what!? I just figured it out on my own. Got to the elevator took it to the 2nd floor and there's a nice view of the fwy. Then I get to my movie... it's already playing!? What happen to it "officially" starting at 1:20pm? Annoyed was an understatement. Seat/Snacks: comfy, recliner style with table + cup holder Nachos/churros/icee -- 10/10 The movie: Ricky was beautifully done. Depicts 2nd chancers struggles upon release and how having support can stop recidivism was a huge take away. Anywho, after the movie I spoke to the manager: Jasmine. Explained what happen as I didn't see the beginning on the movie she offered for me to see it again --another time or see the next showing. I really appreciated that! The experience with the manger took a 3 star experience to 4 stars! I'd return again! Important to note: parking is only validated for 4 hours. After that you're on your own!

It been a while since I came to this theater. In fact the last time I came I bought tickets at the…read morewindow outside, now you order tickets online or go to the kiosk to purchase your tickets. You can also purchase concessions at the kiosk when you purchase your tickets online which is super convenient. But unfortunately, you still have to stand in line to get your items, but at least the ordering part is out of the way. We went to see a movie on opening weekend, I was surprised that the movie was all the way up on the 3rd floor. That's inconvenient if you want to go buy more concessions or get refills because the only concession stand open is located on the first floor. It takes a lot of time to go down 3 floors then stand in line, so keep that in mind if you're in the 3rd floor. On the way up to the 3rd floor there were some kids playing in the elevator, no parents in site and not employees there to stop them from riding the rails. If you park in the correct parking lot they validate for discount parking. They have a security guard at the front door that checks bags.

The sound was fine and views seem good enough from just about every section, although I didn't go up on the balcony. The seats are small, as is the norm for theaters of this era. They were much more comfortable than other venues I have been to in the area. My only complaint was I am not sure the doors close (or there actually are any doors) from the (sumptuous) lobby, so sadly we could hear the staff from our seats. They were talking loudly by the doors to the orchestra area, super distracting. It was a live podcast, so probably not an issue if it's a loud concert. The beauty of this theater and it's history is the thing, and it makes for a memorable experience.

No long lines or congestion. Definitely recommend coming around an hour early if you want to get a drink, merch, and go to the bathroom before an 8pm show. We showed up at 7:30pm and barely made it through the doors at 8pm due to only 3 security lines. The line wrapped around the building down the street. I really appreciated the staff for managing the line and preventing line cutters. It was very exciting to see Lucy Darling and her right hand man, Mark. They were very funny and it was amazing to see them up close. The camera crew did great showing everything on the screen with subtitles and an ASL interpreter, but I still recommend getting seats as close as possible. I hope they come back!

The Club has a deal so you can take food from the market into the theater, which is great for these long events. The theater is one of the oldest in LA and carries the air of the height of classic movie times. You can hear the ghosts of the greats walking the corridors and waiting for screenings to begin. This event - an amazing screening of The Godfather trilogy- using Paramount's actual archive 35mm print (which has held up well for being over 50). Marlon Brando loomed over the whole event from taking it to the mattresses to making offers no one could refuse. Al Pacino's descent from war hero to brutal villain was magnificent to see again. Even Sofia Coppola was a vision on the big screen. There was an interesting introduction from the club with fascinating trivia about the movie along with quizzes and prizes. Bear in mind this is an old theater, so don't expect the comfort of modern movie theaters with reclining seats, laser projection, and Dolby sound; this is real 'old' Hollywood. Overall, a really enjoyable day out with a chance to see some classic films.

Both were friendly and polite. Facilities 3 stars: Restroom availability is limited to the upper floor and the basement. None on the main floor. And after the concert starts they shut down the ones in the basement. This is inconvenient in general because of the crowds and particularly troublesome for people with limited mobility (although there is an elevator but it still takes time). Why not keep them all open throughout the concert? The last word 4: Nice historic venue to enjoy some good entertainment at. Will be happy to visit again!
