Seating really truly is limited once they open the doors so you may be standing. Got there early so I easily got a seat. I thought everyone was nice.

They had the kids meal (pizza and fries), popcorn and lemonade. No complaints from them. I had the fried chicken sandwich with a shade salad and a lychee martini. The sandwich flavors were good, but the texture but a bit fatty, salad was great, the martini was tiny and ok in flavor, I've had way better. Great movie and an overall enjoyable experience.

I want to give it 5 stars because I want more places like this to exist, but there are a few issues…read morestanding in the way. This review may seem mostly critical, but that's because I really love the place and these issues stand out against what could be such a great experience. 1. I come here (and to to the Williamsburg location) regularly for anime screenings. I've noticed that the selections being shown lately at both locations are sometimes via low-quality video files from (I assume) torrent sites. The subtitles can be poorly positioned and contain formatting and spelling errors; the same type of positional and grammatical errors that occur when subtitles are converted directly from PGS to SRT with little to no extra formatting or QC passes. The video encodes are also sometimes poor quality. I noticed a while back that the Galaxy Express 999 showing had video that was aggressively smoothed over, destroying the finer details available from better sources. I know that movie well, so it was the first time I became really aware of the problem. The copies of some of these films I have at home look way better than the processed versions I'm paying to see in the theater, and that should never be the case. I can't imagine the Nitehawk staff are encoding these themselves, since if they had the source material they could just as easily just play the raw video files or encode at a really low CRF for much better results. And if they are downloading the films, they could instead pay the $20 for a Blu-ray or at least source higher quality encodes and subtitles, since these screenings are many people's only opportunity to see these movies in a theater. 2. The selection of films has been not great lately. This year, we had: The Dagger of Kamui, All You Need Is Kill, Urusei Yatsura 2, 100 Meters... these movies are not good. Some are awful. That said, we do get good stuff often! We get more good than bad. But these special screenings don't happen often (once a month, usually) and we've been on a losing streak lately so it's worth mentioning. 3. Theater 4 sucks. I saw a 4:3 movie there, which is already limiting the screen real estate, but the projectionist also closed curtain over part of the left side of the visible image. It stayed that way for the entire movie, and I was seated way over on the left so I was getting wrecked by it. On top of that, the projector in that theater seems of especially low quality, with an obvious screen door effect that distracts from the experience. 4. The food has dropped in quality. The donut dish they are currently offering is dry, oily, and totally inedible (my partner and I couldn't finish more than one each, we ended up tossing them). The other food items are also of lower quality than the Williamsburg location. I assume the ingredients are all the same, so maybe it's just an overworked staff since it's much bigger? Anyway, I really don't spend as much on food at Prospect Park as I do in Williamsburg because I'm not confident in the quality of the food I'm about to get. Overall, I love the Nitehawk theaters. I definitely dump more time and money into these places than any other businesses, really. I just wanted to voice my disappointment with recent showings in the hopes that things will change, because traveling to Prospect Park (not close to me) to see a hand-picked movie that isn't good, is visually compromised, is poorly subtitled, and is being shown on a low quality projector with the screen partially covering it just bums me out. Hoping my review does some good in improving things, I guess. Looking forward to changing this to 4 stars this year if/when any one of the above issues are resolved, and then up to 5 stars when a few more of them are resolved! These spots are still my homes away from home. The staff work their asses off and the food CAN be solid with some more care. Don't let my bitching about anime screenings turn you off to seeing any other film there. My complaints are hyper specific, and odds are you aren't going there to see anime anyway.

Was visiting friends in NY and we were looking for fun inexpensive ways to spend a Saturday night…read moreand were so happy to of found Tiny Cupboard! They have a number of comedy shows throughout the night for ~$15 which is steal because all of the comedians were hilarious! They let you stay for multiple shows as long as you're buying drinks/snacks which is really generous. They have a really small bar of mostly canned cocktails, beer, and soft drinks alongside some really delicious popcorn and candy. Everything is less than $10 from what I remember so all in all perfect place for a fun inexpensive night. It is a pretty tiny and intimate space which makes for a fun comedy experience. Right next door is their board game bar with a great outdoor space so even if you don't want to catch a 2nd comedy show you can just go into the other area for board games or hanging out on the patio. There's not much else in the area in terms of night life so it's a nice place to just stay and hang for a while.

Service was SO GOOD, food was great and the cocktails were fantastic. The comedians were really funny! We had the best time - even thought it was the 7pm show!

You would think lessons from their previous iteration Langstons would be learned...but not quite…read more The space is still drab and not lounge-like in the slightest. I do appreciate the dance floor (more on that later) but this space really could stand to put some effort into the decor. The biggest offender is the drinks. Why are they charging close to Manhattan prices for cocktails in small plastic cups? I did get a long island ice tea which they served in a larger cup...but how would I know which drinks go in larger cups? Ok back to the dancefloor...there is no shortage of space to dance. Again like Langstons this spot gets the music RIGHT! They played everything I needed to hear, and even good soca...not the one or two soca songs these parties play just to tease. Ironically this is the most fun I've had at a party to date for 2021. This may have been a fluke night though, since I went back again and it was empty (11PM). I think it probably gets crowded around 1PM. So overall your mileage may vary with this spot.

BAMCafe is super cool....Actually, I just really like coming to BAM (movie theater, auditoriums to…read moresee live shows etc.) and their cafe is just another one of the interesting places to visit. Once I take the escalator upstairs and approach BAMCafe, I use a minute to take in the ambiance. The bar area is located towards the back near the escalator, followed by a mini art exhibit, multiple tables and chairs for dining), a small couch area on the right hand side closer to the stage (gives the place a semi-lounge feel), the stage and the bathrooms are located behind the stage area. Inner decor is really special at BAMCafe as the walls have a brick - like structure, there are decorative lighting fixrures in the windows and the overall lighting/color aesthetic is gorgeous. Recently, the BAMCafe Live Series has been quite entertaining. It is a free live music showcase featuring different types of music. BAMCafe Live has been taking place on Friday + Saturday nights at 9pm. Pleasurable does not begin to describe my experience as I have been going several weeks in a row to enjoy BAMCafe' s live music itinerary filled with great bands. Baraji is a Korean Music Group that blended the use of musical instruments and singing to give a lovely performance. Alvin Flythe and his band served the crowd with spectacular Jazz Music and Arthur Russell Concert last night was wonderful. Staff here at BAMCAFE enforce strict rules such as where you can stand etc, to ensure everyone's safety. The bar staff try their best to get you your order in a timely manner (it gets very busy w/ customers during live music nights). The happy hour is from 6 -8pm but one can get a alcoholic/ non-alcolohic beverage for the duration. I have only had a glass of juice which was $3.50. The DJ is there and plays an excellent selection of music before and after the live band performances. He keeps the party going from the beginning to the end!

There's a tiny "bar" that doubles as a check-in stand, with helpful staff that will sign you in, grab your drink order from the fridge nearby (only cans and bottles available, I believe), and even perform stand up! Very versatile crew. The performance space in the back is nice, they've made the most of the intimate space with some fun lighting at the stage. Nice spot for smaller crowds (think 30-60 people), if you want something different from the usual Manhattan haunts.
