This former nightclub makes good film movie theater. There is a Huge bar area, intimate screening rooms and overall a great atmosphere for a night out at movies. Different from any standard movie theater. They show cutting edge new films and change it up almost every week. If you get chance to speak with owner Marco you're in for a treat because he's a great guy.
So this place is a little bizarre. It's a big empty movie theater playing indie movies, which is great but there's no food, and no one really working there to help out. There's liquor which is a bonus, but the setup just feels strange, with no direction on where to go and what to do when you enter.
This place is a bit strange - the screens are nice, the projection is solid and staff seems nice, but it all seems a bit disorganized and unsure what it wants to be. It was very unclear how to order food at the bar, and once we did, our order was wrong. Food was basic, but not bad. Other than that, a nice addition to the neighborhood.
Very sweet place to see some "Off the beaten path" films. The neighborhood is nice and safe and there is good food and beer right around the corner.
The theater itself is nice. Very dark, fantastic seating, plenty large enough. The screen is a touch small, but once the movie starts, its not a problem. It looks like they're projecting DVDs so the quality is mediocre, there is a lot of aliasing in the picture.
As of July 21, 2011 the restaurant and bar are not open. The furniture is in and it looks ilke it will be awesome. Also, don't show up too early for your movie, we got to the theater at 7:30 for an 8pm showing and it was totally shut down (metal gates over the doors, etc). Someone came and opened it up around 7:45 for the 8pm movie. Its no problem, but if you show up early you'll be standing out on the street.
The neighborhood is pretty sketchy if you walk through the neighborhoods. Lots of graffiti, kinda scary. Walking along Kent by the river was much beter.
