So I think the concept of this place is a really good idea, who doesn't love cocktails and movies at the same time? The theater is attached to Mez which is a nightclub/bar/restaurant so you can order food and drinks and take them in the movie with you. I have to admit I've been here more times than I'd like because it's the closet theater to our apartment and as stated before laziness usually prevails.
BUT it's $13 per person which seems excessive. You get to pick where you sit before the movie begins and everyone has assigned seating unless you sit in the neckache section in the first few rows. Also when you walk in there's a doorman and it smells like a Glade air freshener factory. Yes, the seats are comfy and a little bigger than a normal theater and yes you can put the armrest up and snuggle with whoever is next to you, but I can easily drive down the street a few miles and have my choice of 15 different movies for cheaper in almost as comfortable seats.
The weird part is that I don't usually dress like I'm going clubbing when I go to the movies, I may throw on jeans, a respectable shirt and some flip flops. Problem is if you go to the movies at this place when you leave you pass through Mez where it's cocktail dresses, high heels and dudes in overpriced shoes from Aldo and too much cologne = not my scene. So being the lame-o's that we are, my husband and I scurry through, considering for 15 seconds about getting an after movie cocktail in there and then head home and grab a beer or something at Gin Mill. We are classy.
It's convenient but a little pricey and the whole VIP we're clubbing thing when you leave is annoying, thus only 2 stars for this joint.
