I used to come here a lot more like 2019 and sort of when they first opened. Now, I don't really go out of my way to see indie films or just rare chances to see certain movies. Would just say I am a Regal and AMC movie watcher and that is it. In the past, I did find the service to be pretty good, maybe a few nights when they had a free movie or certain promotional thing, crowd got kind of annoying or just busy beyond belief. It was definitely a more expensive experience than your average night at a Regal or AMC theater.

A few weeks back, I visited for the first time to catch a screening of "Bring Her Back". It's some of the best food I've had at a theater. I added chicken to my wrap. It was delicious but they wrap it in paper and then foil. A little difficult to get the papers off, so I'm sure I ate a little bit of paper! I'm still alive, so I'll be back.

This is such a cool place! I love that you can get a drink and a bite to eat while watching old time movies. Or, you can choose to go to their theatre and watch a movie and eat. The lounge part is big and beautiful. The seating consists of tables and booths. I met two of my friends there and we sat in a booth. I love that they had a mocktail menu. I ordered the hibiscus mule. I really enjoyed it. My friends enjoyed their drinks as well. I was also pleased that they had non alcoholic beer. For food we ordered cauliflower wings off of the happy hour menu, fried pickles, and loaded fries. The apps were good. I would love to try a full entree maybe next time. I am honestly not sure if when I will go next because I live in queens and Brooklyn is a trek.

THIS PLACE IS HAUNTED. 1. it was $10 Martini monday and they had a selection to choose from, spicy, pickle, dirty and a basil variety. These were the absolute worst martinis Ive ever had in all of New York City ( its technically a movie theater so I didnt have the highest expections but they still didnt meet them....) 2. its super vintage and 70s inspired architecture and decor, but the lighting and music were spooky and added to the ghostly unsettling aura 3. Someone got scammed directly at the front door for a fake $50 but they went through the double doors in and out of the theater and the guy wasnt seen walking down the street or walking in OR out of the theater it was freaky 4. Customers next to me were describing their bathroom experience as horrifying becase they didnt hear anyone enter after them or wash their hands or anything but the lights went out in each stall and they were left in pitch black darkness... 5. When I went into the restroom I had a similar experience, I was the only one in there when I entered andmy friends confirmed that no one came in after me ... as soon as I locked my restroom door after fumbling with the loose lock-someone or something jangled my door knob. I heard no footsteps or doors open or close, no one using the restroom... right before I go to unlock my stall door after peeing, again the same thing someone or something jangling my door knob... I step out and no one was there.... I went home unsettled vowing not to step foot back inside, I get on google and reddit and Syndicated used to be a crematorium and a morgue that underwent a million dollar reservation into the space it is now. The owners know the history and thats why they chose to keep it a vintage, 70s theme... to keep the ghosts entertained maybe ?

Solid. Leaving drinks for some brooklynites heading west to Colorado. Good drinks and snacks. Fried pickles were a hit (we got 4 plates). Not too busy on a Sunday afternoon. Kind service. Definitely a good neighborhood spot. There's a theater and it looked like they serve food to you as well.

Kale Caesar with grilled chicken
Hana J.

Amazing food especially for a bar! The ingredients all tasted extremely fresh and god quality. The staff both in the theater and bar were kind and fast as well! The place has lots of seating and was clean and comfortable. Really encouraged going to a movie here, it's small and intimate but you get your own little booth. Will be coming back!

Old Fashioned for $9 during happy hour

Syndicated is a neighborhood staple take it from me, from one movie nerd to another. I assume your a movie nerd cause you're reading this review. They always have the cheap seats for the movies you know you want to see but somehow completely slept on but they come in and save the day. The movies here are only $10.50 after the fee. That's a steal. They just ask the name of the card when you arrive. Arrive early to snag a good seat. The front row is very close. And give them your credit card to open the tab. Popcorn is only $5 and they even have old bay or curry seasoning. I've also enjoyed the cauliflower. Happy hour is 5pm until 7pm so come to an early showing. Wednesday must be the popular night with the $10 off all wine bottles! Damn!! I have been here a ton. I was actually there tonight. And as a heads up.... Bring Proof of Vaccination. Don't be that person. They are just doing their job. So wake up and bring it or don't come. Thanks to my waiter for waiting to put my order in for my popcorn. It made it a very nice evening for me, after the riff raff excited. Also----people! Be quiet in the theater. We came to hear the movie not your friend's latest conquest. Shout out to Syndicated for playing movies outdoors last summer. Safely gave us something to do. I enjoyed "Harold and Maude" and the oh so perfect "Romeo +Juliet" (1996 version, of course). I've recommended this theater a ton and still will continue to do so. See you very soon! Maybe I'll go for the vegan Nugs this time and crisp craft beer.

Always wanted to come here and finally made it. (Not for the movie though, def next time!) Love the Hot Mess Chicken Sandwich, and it's only $12! My friend got the Grill Chicken Sandwich, it was full of fried shredded onion and the chicken was quite small. Love the Baked Empanadas as well. I love the dough texture kinda fluffy like croissant bread. Cauliflower Baffalo flavor was big dislike for me. I really enjoyed their Earl Grey Negroni as well! Def will come back for movies and more yummy food and drinks!

Screening of Phantom Thread
Kathy X.

My friend filled me in about this place that has outdoor sidewalk movie screenings and I have been three times so far. I really adore the set up, which boasts actual heat lamps with actual fire, which kept me warm the entire time I was there. This place shows a different movie each night at 5:30PM and 8PM. It is first come first serve, so I recommend arriving 1 hour prior to the start time. There is no cost, but you are expected to order something to eat or drink. The first time I went was to see "Phantom Thread." My friend and I sat within the tent like covering, which helped to block out the wind. We ordered the Nacho Fries to share, which came with mozzarella, pickled red onions, roasted tomato aioli all on top of waffle fries. This was delicious and the flavors came together well. The waffle fries were nicely seasoned, delightfully crispy, and worked as a great base. There was plenty of melty cheese, and the sauce was wonderfully savory and tasty. The fresh pickled red onions added an element of additional crunch and elevated the flavors. I also came to watch "A Christmas Story" with a friend and she had a lovely time. I ordered the arepas with pulled pork and gouda cheese, however this item was no longer on the menu. I asked if they had any pulled pork and viola, our waiter inquired and they were able to make what I requested, which I really appreciated. The arepas were grilled, and a little different than the type I am used to eating. There was a good amount of pulled pork in between, but was a bit bland. It was, however, tender and juice. The gouda tasted yummy with the pulled pork. My most recent visit was to see "Tenet," which I was pretty excited about because it's a new movie. I came with 5 friends about an hour and a half before the movie started, however, all the seating areas with tables were already full. Thankfully, there was a section with benches in front of where they were projecting the movie, so we all fit there. This time I didn't order much food because I was full from my 3-course lunch I had earlier, but I got to try the butter popcorn. It was okay, but way too buttery and a bit softer than I like. There is a decent variety of food, ranging from snacks, sandwiches, salad, sweets {including milkshakes in the summer, which I simply cannot wait to try}, as well as tacos and more. The prices for food and drinks are reasonable... Almost everything is below $12. I definitely plan on returning with different friends throughout the coming months.

Love this place so much, such a fun atmosphere and great service and people. Best fried pickles I've ever had in my life and I love the spicy hibiscus marg.

Burger with cheddar, side salad, happy hour beer
Angela L.

FOOD: 1.) Burger w cheddar = pretty good but has a particular taste...I didn't order the "impossible burger" but somehow it kinda tastes like a plant based burger still? Doesn't taste like ground beef patty, more like a shredded pork texture. 2.) side salad = it's good SERVICE: QR code menu and order from the bar only. Food orders get a table number. I like that they have happy hour 5-7p and wine Wednesday with wine bottles $10 off. ATMOSPHERE: Outside is unassuming, just a single theater neon light, which I like. Very small narrow doors from the corner of the building, makes you think it's not a real bar/restaurant/theater establishment. Inside is quite spacious almost agoraphobic, would be great for groups so note to self for the future. Has an overall kind of Art Deco vibe in the decor too, and two large projected music video or a film on the wall.. old punk rock playing... large center bar, and some booth seating surrounding. Love thats it's near some thrift stores so you can get your shopping at L train vintage nearby or meander to other happenings. Doorway entrance with showtimes and ooh looks like they have weekly events like bachelor watching party on Mondays 8p! Or movie trivia or watching the Oscar's. That's great!

Stephanie M.

What an awesome place. We walked over from our hotel looking for a place to eat. Place was packed and had such good energy. Bartenders were super chill and friendly. Food was pretty decent and the drinks were on point. Seems like the have lots of events that go on there so if you're local to NY it's definitely a place to swing by and try out.

Downstairs, it's a lot tighter, with a DJ, dance floor, lounge seating area, and a much more packed and busy atmosphere on the weekends. I like ping ponging between both vibes when I'm with friends. Admittedly I've found the music both times to be too experimental for me. Confessing that makes me feel like an old person shaking my fist or at least shaking my head, misunderstanding what makes the youth tick. But I had no trouble twirling around the dance floor to this weird experimental music after throwing back a few tequila sodas upstairs. A few times while here my friends have split up into the group that wants to go downstairs to dance and the group that wants to stay upstairs and chill. It's relatively easy to navigate between both vibes, which I enjoy about this spot very much.

Came here on a quiet weeknight by a total mistake!…read more We came to grab some drinks at the rooftop bar and catch the sunset and gorgeous views. When we saw "Water Tower" on the elevator we decided to press it. SO GLAD WE DID. We landed at the Water Tower and walked into a fairly empty space decorated with art all the way to the ceiling, filled with natural light coming in and the views of the skyline were out of this world. We had to try their drinks of course to enjoy with the incredible view. Though the drinks are $21 and served in a plastic cup that evening, I was NOT expecting my drink to be this insanely delicious. I ordered the inferno Paloma which they infuse themselves with- and it was true perfection. By the way, each bar has their own menu which is pretty awesome and makes it even more fun. Also, Axel is the most incredible bartender and we absolutely loved his creations. Later that night we ordered a custom mandarin margarita, with a spicy twist, and WOW. He's truly talented and absolutely made us some awesome drinks that we can't stop talking about. Sunset with a view and a spicy mezcal drink? Yes and YES. We had this place all to ourselves and can't wait to be back. Friday nights they have DJ nights and you can also book the Water Tower for your own private events which is pretty cool!

Watching soccer, pretending as if I had been looking forward to Germany playing Curaçao for weeks. The occasional glance at the Chrysler building across the East River. As I worked my way through my beers, the amazing bartender perfectly timing my refills, I felt as if this may be my new place. My "get away from all the noise" safe haven. That was until I was halfway through beer three. It all got dark. I mean it literally got dark. A waitress began pulling down all the blinds, taking away the sun haven I had found myself loving.

I did not come to a bar with a wall of windows to end up in a place darker than the Rikers Island cells mere miles away. So I ask this one question to the waitress, why? Why ruin the joy of light?

Avocado toast also isn't exactly something you can box up and save for later, so a lot of it just went to waste. Honestly, the menu feels arrogantly overpriced, what avocado toast dish is pushing $30? The only thing that seemed reasonably priced was the $35 bottomless brunch. Overall, the pricing felt excessive and the lack of transparency made the experience frustrating.

I've never ate here, but I recommend grabbing drinks during the summer months when they open the canopy. It's a nice rooftop feel.

It is too bad Yelp doesn't allow half stars as I would honestly put this one at a 3.5 and am rounding up. While the quality of the elevated seafood bites is immaculate, they are just that: a bite or two of food, for an elevated price considering the amount of food you get. After spending $76 a person, we were still hungry, whereas that amount would have been enough to feed two average women at another good restaurant. But if you go with an expense account or trust fund baby, definitely get the scallops and the yellowtail pastrami because those two items will blow your mind. Our waitress pointed these two out to us and we're grateful for her guidance because it was spot on. Paying for bread at a Solomonov joint is odd. No dessert menu is odder. Wheelchair access details: The bar is on a terrace. The accessible entrance is through the Hoxton hotel. A staff member will take you through the k'far kitchen and up via a service elevator. No barriers once you are upstairs and plenty of accessible outdoor and indoor/outdoor options, including a small length of wheelchair height bar. A perfectly functional though unexciting wheelchair accessible restroom is available.
