| - Indie movies+booze=best idea ever.
My friends and I have a great appreciation for bad indie movies, so when we saw that FilmBar was showing "Birdemic 2" we knew we had to come. We got some bottles of wine to share and sat down to enjoy the show. I can't speak to every movie they show there, but since Birdemic is a cult favorite, the crowd there was very familiar with the plot line and characters and would constantly be discussing or making fun of the movie. I thoroughly enjoyed this atmosphere since I knew what was going on, but I can imagine it would be hectic for someone who has never seen the first movie, or is simply trying to enjoy the movie as they would at a regular theater. It was a lot of fun though, and kind of reminded me of the Rocky Horror experience. The casualness of it coupled with the wine made the whole experience very enjoyable and relaxing, and we had a lot of fun!
After you exit the theater, you can continue to enjoy more drinks at the bar, and they even have a seating section with booths where people can drink and chat. There's a live DJ playing music, and some people were up and grooving to the beat (not a lot of space, but you can make it work if you're in the mood to dance).
FilmBar seems to show a lot of really interesting films you wouldn't be able to watch elsewhere, so I will definitely be back sometime for more!
