Logistics & Planning
Parking: Street parking on Mission Street and adjacent blocks can be challenging after 6pm; no dedicated garage, but nearby paid lots at Bartlett Garage and Mission-Bartlett Garage are convenient options.
Dress code: Casual and comfortable—standard movie attire; guests often come straight from dinner or bars nearby.
Noise level: Quiet during films, moderate in lobby and bar areas; conversation best before or after the movie.
Weekend wait: Arrive 30–45 minutes early for food orders; in-theater service slows as screenings fill.
Weekday lunch: No lunch service—first shows usually start mid-afternoon.
Dietary Options
Vegetarian options: Yes – several options including an Impossible Burger and salads.
Vegan options: Limited – customization possible but no fully vegan mains.
Gluten-free options: Partial – gluten-free buns available upon request; cross-contact possible.
Good to Know
Is this good for a first date? Yes—especially for movie buffs who enjoy a relaxed, shared experience. Conversation can continue at the bar after the show.
Can I get a table without a reservation? Tickets double as your seat reservations; walk-ins are possible if a show isn’t sold out, but online booking is safest for peak hours.
Is it kid-friendly? Generally adult-oriented due to bar service and film selection; occasional family screenings are clearly marked for all ages.
Best For
Better for: A full movie-and-meal experience with strong burgers and beer list—ideal for group outings or casual dates.
Skip if: You’re looking for a quiet dinner conversation or a quick grab-and-go burger.
