    Visited the screening room for an event and what a gem this is. People always ask, what can I do in the Buffalo area that is different. Well here it is! This small business with a lot of heart welcomes groups and the public for film viewings (they are currently playing 'Love Actually') Everything from private viewings for your group to regularly ran movies of the owners choice. This place screams nostalgia and quaintness in the warmest of ways. It gives vibes of if I had a the funds to build a home theater and extend it to include a dining room and kitchen. Our group brought in pizza and salad that was great. The concessions were reasonably priced. The service was pleasant and attentive. We'll be back!

    Came here with my husband recently and we both loved it. Very chill, laid back, seating is tables or couches which you can reserve online ahead of time. I love it.

    This is a cool little gem to come check out! I have been here for music on Wednesdays, and events - this is a really cool little spot. Their concessions are reasonable and delicious! We will be back soon!

    Wow! What a super place to host a private party, with or without a movie. For the first time ever, I went to the Screening Room last week for a private event. Check out the website. The current schedule will show some of the possibilities. Poetry reading. Music. Why not a reading for a play? Or standup comedy? Or A bridal shower or baby shower. Yeah! A baby shower with a showing of Three Men and a Baby. Or Look Who's talking. Well, I don't know what all possibilities exist for using this great venue. And neither will you until you call and ask. Or try it out. Attend any of the scheduled public events. See what you think about possibilities. They have pop, beer, water, and wine, popcorn, soft pretzels, ice cream (dish, float, sundae). I had a sundae when I was there. Large dish of vanilla ice cream with chocolate sauce and whipped cream... $6. Excellent. If you are looking for a neat and different idea for someone's birthday party... this is it. Or maybe for a fundraiser? But do check the schedule. Might be something you'd like to try on, see how it goes. I'm looking forward to another visit. Soon.

    What a fun little spot to hang out! The gentleman who runs it was so warm and welcoming. The only complaint I have is that the seats aren't super comfy for long periods of sitting. Definitely looking forward to checking out other events at this place.

    Concession area

    The Screening Room provides a unique venue for many kinds of gatherings. On this date we attended an All Star Jam. There is a concession area. Service is walk up. Limited snack options too, as well as drinks.

    Popcorn

    Good selection for snacks and beverages. They also have different alcoholic beverages for you to enjoy! The popcorn was delicious. Try the pulp fizz if you like mimosas! Definitely a cute date night spot! Service was very quick!

    If you are looking for a unique night out , look no further than this venue . It is not only a theatre playing throwback movies , they also do interactive performances, trivia nights , dinner and a show plus so much more . Snacks and beverages (alcohol too ) available for purchase . There isn't a place in the area quite like it , and it's gentle on the wallet too .

    This is a really awesome venue to watch a movie. Tonight was my second time coming here. I came here with my mom to see Rear Window, which is a classic James Stewart film. Grace Kelly also stars in it. The movie is only $7, $6 if you're a senior citizen. You can buy popcorn after you purchase your ticket. (My bucket of popcorn was only $4.50!!!) You can also buy beer or wine by the glass, or wine by the bottle. The prices are reasonable. They have extra butter and other things to put on the popcorn. My mom and I were going to sit towards the back but we ended up moving to the front row. The chairs were really comfortable. They have tables in some of the spots too. There was relaxing jazz music playing before the lights were dimmed and the movie started. It's worth it to come here, just for the ambiance alone. I'm hoping to come back here soon.

    I've been here a few times now, most recently for their Princess Bride screening and trivia night, previously for a play that my friend was in. I really love the space here, it's got cool vibes. But, it is not cut out to hold the number of people that showed up for the princess bride night. We were packed in like sardines! But I can't knock them for it, because the staff is so great and it's such a cool space. They showed the movie first, followed by trivia. They even did a little skit acting during trivia which was a nice touch. Things I love: -all the mismatched chairs in the screening room. It makes you feel like you're in a giant living room filled with friends. -their snack menu has ice cream floats! Like an old fashioned soda shop. -movies themed decor everywhere! It's so cute -great people working there and volunteering and acting They host screenings, trivia nights and have plays regularly and it's truly a unique experience.

    Nice venue. I saw a speaker there and it was a comfortable space to listen to a talk. There are different seats to choose from like theater style, couches and regular kitchen type at tables. The room is spacious so you aren't sitting on top of one another. The entrance is welcoming with movie posters and other movie related paraphernalia on display. The bathrooms are a bit run down but clean. Parking is plentiful and located near the entrance. For the talk we also had a potluck and there was a separate room where the food could be set up on long tables for a buffet. It worked out really well.

Certainly, many a bride's dream come true in the making. Wedding receptions, engagement or anniversary parties, graduation or other special events held here will be memorable. Photography for your special day will be incredible in this beautiful setting too. Check out the one-hour photography package they are offering now on their website. A photo on the Buffalo Bills 50 yard line with a personal photographer framed in commemorative frame. Doesn't appear they are holding large events quite yet due to the COVID-19 restrictions. I will be eager to see how things take off for this lovely venue in the near future. This venue is part of the newly formed "BFLO District" at the Eastern Hills Mall. Who knew that Sears could look so chic?! Quite a make-over, indeed! Four stars for now. Let's see if this total flip is a flip in the right direction. Not a flop - when it comes to customer service, value, communication, collaboration with customers depending on them to make their special day outstanding.

I am amazed that the space was an old Sears. The space was beautifully designed, well thought out and is now a destination instead of turning into another abandoned building. In addition to the event center attached is the BFLO store, a hair salon, Chruscicki Bakery, Simply Pierogi and Sto Lat. The space itself is perfect for a wedding or your next big event. It is a large open and airy room with darker wood floors, light walls and furniture and gorgeous crystal chandelier and snowflake accent lighting. The interior design is very modern and elegant with touches of Buffalo subtly added in. Great lighting, tons of parking and a huge bar. To the back of the room are doors which take you to a hallway that connects to the other businesses in the complex. The hallway is large enough to accommodate mingling of overflow guests from the event center.

Upon pulling up outside it doesn't look like much, but once we entered the first thing we noticed was the amazing décor. The customer service from all the staff working the desk and lobby café was also excellent! Checking in was smooth and perfect, she hit all the topics and was very happy, professional, and engaging. She told us lots about the property and gave us an excellent lunch recommendation too! Once we got into the room, it was perfectly decorated just like the common areas we saw upon entering. The tile inset on the bathroom floor and shower floor looked amazing! The bedding was great, flat, and comfy too. Ergonomics of the room were also designed for ease and comfort! They also have a Cadillac Escalade that they use to provide free rides to guests... Anywhere in the area within 5 miles, typically running until midnight! We were fortunate to grab a couple of rides with Marty, who was very engaging and helpful! He took us to a work reception nearby and told us to call him when we were ready to be picked up, which we did and he promptly came back to get us! Shower pressure and quickness of the hot water was perfect! TV also worked perfectly! We enjoyed our visit so much that we'd return to the area just to stay at this hotel again! Highly recommend staying here when in the area! I average staying in 1.5 Marriott properties weekly and based on the poor and inconsistent service at many of them, I wish the management here would train the others on how to keep a property beautifully clean (this place has been here 7 years and it looks brand new still!) and how to provide great service!

Excellent staff, we had Brittany pick us up at the airport and Marty at the front desk. Genuinely friendly, helpful, and knowledgeable. We also had breakfast in the lobby restaurant and it was fantastic!! Would love to stay here again.
