| - Still so new, but I am giving 4 stars for the concept.
I went to see The Red Chapel on opening night. Not as crowded as I thought, but that's okay. I am not trying to be negative, only relaying my experience. Upon entering I am greeted but not asked for my ticket. It's a kind of a "what do I do now?" feeling. So I want to order a glass of wine, but there is no wine list, so I ask for a Pinot noir. When I go to pay she says $16 and I was stunned, but then she proceeds to tell me the machine is down if it's not fixed soon we'll give you a free drink. Thinking that the drink may be free I decide not to push the I didn't see the wine list and I would not have ordered a $16-3oz. pour! Anyway, the lounge setting was very inviting and plan on coming back to hang out, even if there is no movie playing, there will be drinks served. So I enjoyed the documentary, liked the lighting in the theatre and the seating options, although there are no cup holders for drinks yet, there are tables for groups. However the theatre was a little cold and I was not prepared :-( So when the movie was over, I was told the card machine was fixed and given my $16 bill. It turns out she charged me $8 for the wine and $8 for a ticket. However I had purchased a ticket online, but no one had asked me. So she did put the credit back on my card. The staff is friendly and even eager, but the ticket taking issue may have to be worked out. I will be back as often as I can to support this local & cool business. Thanks for adding life to downtown!
