  Pros: they feature very recent movies, as well as classics, and tons of comedy shows (comedian every weekend), offer food with many options, lots of beer with decent prices, staff is usually friendly, cheap tickets. Cons: building is old and it is always freezing in there so bring a jacket/sweater!, seating is a bunch of desk roll chairs...good luck seeing if you aren’t right in the front row of each section, some seats are comfy and some are not, wish it was consistent. We went to see a movie and in the second half of the film, staff came and started removing menus from our tables and asking to take our stuff, while we were watching the movie still. Standing right in front of us completely blocking the screen. I assume they were in a rush to get cleaned up so they can go home which I understood, but removing the menus when the movie isn’t over it and getting in peoples way is unnecessary and not cool. I probably won’t go back to see a movie, but might if there’s a comedian we like. Movie tickets to see Darkest Hour were $6.50

  Wish they hadn't changed the $65/year membership, I used to go with friends and family every Sunday to see the movies. Additionally I loved being able to order a drink or something to eat. This place is classic. However it now has changed a bit and since the change I haven't been back.

  Pro: This is an intimate, dinner-theater style setting. Great place to be up close and personal with your favorite bands/comedians, etc. This alone is worth five stars! BUT...Cons: Minus two stars because the building is very old - not "aging with character" old or "wow, look at that architecture" old. Just old and worn out. AND...Minus one more star because the food is exceptionally bad bar-style food. I guess if you drink enough the food will seem gradually better.

  I have been viewing movies here for 20 years. Beer, food and movies plus comedy acts. Check out what is coming, and find something to see. It's different from the traditional theatre, no $12 bucket of popcorn . Chairs vs seats. More freedom to move around.

  I've been to several comedy shows and they always deliver. It's a great place to see popular comedians without making the trek into DC. The food and drink selection is pretty decent too. Especially impressive is that the staff can get everyone served before the show starts, even with a full house. The location is nearly perfect: nearby restaurants and I've always been able to find free street parking within a few blocks. Check out their event calendar; I bet you'll find something you like.
