| - When I heard about the Cinebarre, I thought, "this is too good to be true". But, here you have it, folks-- straight from the horse's mouth: such a heaven on Earth exists.
The Arboretum Cinemas was a typical hangout for my friends and I when we were in high school, but compared to Regal, it was pretty dumpy. As an adult, I would never have thought of venturing back there, but since the renovation, it's made a new name for itself. Think 21 and uppers.
I absolutely love that on most nights, only 18 and up are permitted entry, and although you will see families there, it's not the norm. I know that if my husband and I want to go have a few beers, a juicy burger, and catch a new flick, we can do all of those things in one fell swoop.
A few weeks ago we had our date night at the Cinebarre. Because we arrived early, we sat at the bar which was reminiscent of Happy Days and ordered beers and burgers. My blue cheese burger was to die for. It came on one of those massive, spongy buns that doesn't disintegrate from a few minutes worth of burger grease and melting cheese; it stood its ground and held that patty all the way until the last bite.
The beers on tap are noteworthy too. Although they of course offer the regular ol' Budweiser, Millers/Coors, we found Ranger, Highland Gaelic and other tasty delights. After stuffing our faces, we played some pool, and then went to look for some seats.
The theaters are all pretty small, which creates a more intimate setting. What's nice is that you don't have a huge crowd of people all around you, which ultimately compels some folks to think that it's okay to whisper, talk, text, or be rude and disruptive in general. The only drawback in some of the smallest show rooms is that if you don't get a spot on the very back row, you wind up with a sore neck at the end of the movie from tilting back the whole showing.
Now-- here is what absolutely kicks @$$ about this theater-- ready?!
You can order beer during the movie!!! I know-- I'm as easily pleased as I am amused, and if you know me at all, you know how I love to laugh. But seriously, waitresses come around during the movie to check on their patrons, and if you have your order card standing up tall, they come grab it and fulfill your order. Their popcorn is really yummy and not loaded with all of that fake oily MSG-laden butter like other movie cinemas, so I always order it and of course a bag of candy. Candy is candy, so sadly there is nothing special to report on that front (Hint hint Cinebarre!! Maybe you ought to try your hand at specialty truffles or some other dessert delicacy!).
The service is always good, and on every occasion that I have been to the Cinebarre, I have left happy. It's a fun night out and something a little different.
