And indeed. Delicious, unique beautiful creations in every glass. I also left having enhanced my liquor IQ despite killing a few brain cells :-). What took me pleasantly by surprise was the food. Holly Crap it was incredible. I had a burger that tasted as if it was homemade. Such fresh ingredients, all prepared with level of skill I would expect in a fine dining establishment. Really recommend TTL for lunch/dinner or a catered event.

My last experience was a bit of a let down, the burger I ordered was dry as a bone and tasted like it was stuffed with bread crumbs, so disappointed in the place I always raved about to my friends about said burgers. Hopefully this was just a Covid blip and things will smarten up as we go along. I'll give this establishment another go and I'm sure it will be back to normal. I will say though the staff went above and beyond what I expected and not only offered to cook me something else but at the end took my burger and drinks off of the bill. I felt a bit guilty to be honest but it is service like that that will keep a customer going back.

What a great place! We stopped in for some saturday afternoon beers and a plate of fries, and were…read moreso happy to see the Juke Box! Service was friendly, beer prices were fair, but the side of fries that we shared was almost $8 which was weird. They were good fries, don't get me wrong, but $8 for a plate of fries is a little high i think. But who cares! I can't wait to return!

Old Cinema is a decent place; Only when you are hammered…read more As an Augustana student, it is an alright place if you go with friends. However, like Will M. said, the DJ is absolutely terrible. This place needs to be audited badly. The bartenders get drunk, they let customers come behind the counter and serve drinks. They only take cash there. It's a real pain. The place needs desperate renovations. It is slowly falling apart on the outside. The inside needs to be refurbished. There is always small pieces of glass down the sides of the couches. I have cut myself on them. OC's needs to be a more friendlier place, with better standards and bartenders. The bouncers are rude and ignorant. Like I said, its a ton of fun when your drunk out of your mind, because your drunken self doesn't notice the muck and the grime and the arrogance of the employees there. Sober you, however, will find the place disgusting. So basically, only go if there are Augustana students there.

Ok the person who wrote the other review is totally on base........ about a year and a half ago…read more The Old Cinema or OC's as it is often referred to now has changed monumentally since the new DJ took over for the last DJ. The crowd has definitely changed as the drug dealers and rig pigs are barely seen in there anymore. It has been way more busy as the new DJ does not play crap techno or youtube videos at all. He will play some techno as long as its good techno. The guy in the bathroom is no longer there, they kicked him out a long time ago. The seating is a lot better with a row of couches on the side. The OCs does become a strip joint on wed and thurs but no longer hire the "rejects" of Edmonton clubs. They come straight from an agency in Edmonton that i am surprised the Manager dishes out the money for. The situation on the drink prices sadly remains the same as you will prolly not pay the same price for the same drink every time. As i was saying with the DJ situation he actually DJs and not just plays song beginning to end with no mixing, he mixes and he mixes good, he also plays the music videos when he has them. The new DJ is probably the best thing The Old Cinema could have done as he has increased business. So the best time to go to the Old Cinema... all year round now... good music... good bartenders. Although i will say this..... the place definitely needs a renovation. For the safety issue they have hired some really good bouncer and kept two of their best who have been there for a number of years. The amount of fights that go on there have decreased substantially. Even though it is so much better than before... the other review was right when he said the best time to go is when college is in... who doesnt love college girls.

What a hoot! I had a smile on my face from the moment we walked in til we left. There's nothing like being time warped into the 1970s and watching old cartoons and advertisements on the TVs while eating your dinner or having a drink. Everything from the color scheme to the light fixtures to the trinkets collected behind the bar screams 1970s, and made for a fun, goofy, comforting nostalgia. We started with drinks at the bar while we waited for a table. They have a good selection of local brews as well as cocktails. Even the names of the drinks made me smile. I got the "dirty shiddy martini." Then we moved to our table in the "rumpus room." The menu is no-frills and straightforward. Not a ton of options, but you're there for a burger! They have vegetarian, vegan, and gluten free options to make everyone happy. We each got a burger Alabama style, split some fries with "flat sauce," and added a giant pickle on a stick for shids and giggles. Delicious, it all hit the spot! Staff is friendly and quick. It will be busy when you go so just enjoy the experience!
