| - A trip to the Hollywood Theater makes going to the movies fun again. Its diverse schedule of cult classics, limited release, and filmmaker's series makes it easy for anyone to find something they like. Every time I go, I know I will be surrounded by movie lovers, who came to see a flick for their first or 500th time.
The Hollywood has some of the most comfortable theater seating in Allegheny County (take that mega-plexes). The theater has traditional seating up front and in the balcony, in addition to several couches the back. The rows are wide and luxurious, and the seats can recline surprisingly far back. It can be easy to forget you are paying considerably LESS here than most theaters in town.
One of my favorite features is the theater's BYOB policy. You can bring a six pack or bottle of wine to enjoy during the film, as long as you keep it on the first floor.
The entire volunteer staff is so friendly, and every time I visit, I see a flyer for another event I need to attend. Several weekends a month, the Hollywood hosts one of the best local renditions of the "Rocky Horror Picture Show"--I have yet to make it out to one! The theater also has Breakfast and a Movie, and hosts the Steel City Secret Cinema several times a year. Needless to say, there is a ton going on here!
Make sure to like the Hollywood on Facebook or join its mailing list to stay up to date with its many events!
