7 Movie Theaters in Brooklyn That You Shouldn't Miss
It seems like most folks have a grandmother, great-uncle or some other distant relative that used to live in Brooklyn, or perhaps a friend that lives there now. In the early 1900s, it was a mecca for immigrants arriving via Ellis Island. A hundred years later, young professionals and artists left pricey Manhattan digs for Brooklyn's cheaper and more expansive space. Neighborhoods like Brooklyn Heights and Park Slope, which had fallen into disrepair over the years, were restored and reborn as funky enclaves. Walk or bike over the historic Brooklyn Bridge (or ride the subway) to Brooklyn Heights for a stroll along the Promenade and breathtaking views of the Manhattan skyline. Meander through Prospect Park and the Brooklyn Botanical Gardens for a taste of nature in the urban wilds. Catch a performance at the world-famous Brooklyn Academy of Music. From the delicious Italian restaurants of Bensonhurst to the Irish bars that line the avenues of Bay Ridge, from the hotdogs and rollercoasters of Coney Island to the bagels and handball courts of Greenpoint, Brooklyn is a state of mind as well as a dynamic community. Discover why, no matter where people move on to, they remain Brooklynites at heart.

Love this quirky little theater! Tables are for 2 and waiters are very attentive and quick about serving drinks and food. We had wine, beer and a bowl of Nighthawk popcorn ($9 for a relatively small bowl). I read other reviews that said waiters were in the way, but ours moved so quickly and ducked down low so were never obtrusive. It must be a real workout to be a server there! The setting felt different and fun - like we had discovered a hidden gem in the middle of Brooklyn. We will definitely be back!

Went to see a Star is Born -- we were in the front row and had a great viewing experience, and I loved being able to have a margarita while in a movie theater. The fried pickles are amazing!! Would totally go again, fun for a night out even if it is a bit expensive.

We came here whilst on holiday in NYC. I’m not usually a cinema goer but if more places were like this I definitely would be. It obviously helped that the whole family loved the film we watched. Get there in time to see all the old school trailers and adverts they show before the viewing. The food was tasty and a reasonable price. They have a good selection of drinks and cocktails. Double thumbs up from me.

I’ve always gone for their IMAX experience, especially for Marvel and Star Wars movies. The last couple of times I’ve went there to see a couple of movies in their regular theaters and IMHO, it blows away the 2 closest theaters, Linden Blvd by 5x and Atlas Regal by at least 10x. We no longer go to atlas. The sound is terrible. Sheepshead bay regal is worth the 12 mile drive for us but due to distance, we are much more pickier about what we want to see.
