    Halloween themed
    Danica C.

    This event was definitely one of the weirdest experiences I've had in a long time. I was so excited to attend a movie screening here after seeing so many videos on social media. From beginning to end (purchasing tickets to the end of the movie) everything was just so irritating. It truly felt as if it was their first time putting on this event. When we arrived the vibe was a bit awkward. We're just waiting in a crowded small space and when they finally let people inside the screening area it was just a long line in silence. They finally put music on which made the vibes a little less awkward. We ordered our food and were told where our reserved bean bags were. We assumed we would get our drinks early at least which wasn't the case and thought or food would come towards the beginning of the movie as it started later than scheduled. It was a super windy night and the screen was moving like crazy, barricades were falling. We got our head phones and mine didn't work. I had to go back to get a new pair and that pair turned off 3x, so I went back to get another. The girl working was super nice but there was a man there and he made a rude comment to me which really upset me. The actual movie screening was a little off because of the screen moving so much and the bar was blasting their music - it was very distracting. We didn't get our drinks until maybe 9:30, and our food came at almost 10pm and the movie ended around 10:30. We also didn't get our dessert which is supposed to be included in the bean bag dining package. The burger and fries were good but I do not recommend this event, especially the dinner packages. So not worth $64.

    The service was awesome!!! The young lady was very kind and sweet to us. Did not experience the theatre but I definitely had a great time roller skating and lounging at the bar afterwards. Wasn't the best flooring to skate on lol but it worked out lol. No complaints about the Casamigos in a can. First time drinking and skating on a rooftop. Weather was also exceptional. And next door, the bar was lit. The atmosphere and vibe were all worth coming out for. Do yourself or yourselves a favor and go. Go on a date or with family and friends. You'll love it fasho fasho. $20 for a ticket to skate with drink included when you book or reserve on the BUCKETLIST APP. Drinks at the rooftop bar/lounge are about $20+. There is street parking , parking lots and a garage all within walking distance of this venue. $20 to park in lot. Around $4 every 15 or 30 mins. And around $3 for 2 hour street parking behind the building.

    ### 2023 review 57/100 ### What a unique and fun movie going experience! I won 2 tickets & drinks via an IG giveaway, thanks Melrose Rooftop! There was some missing info about our 2 cocktails but Bruce the manager on duty took care of it right away and even escorted us over to our seats for the rooftop screening -- The Holiday showing on that Friday evening. Tasty cocktails, tho a bit pricey but that's the WeHo vibes. There's valet parking but we found plenty of metered street parking -- 2 hour max @$2/hour, so we did have to move our car since we were there for about 4 hours given The Holiday was 2 hours 45mins long. Lovely evening watching a holiday movie "The Holiday" hehe under the stars. The only thing I would say is.... super loud music playing inside the bar/restaurant gets somewhat distracting while watching the movie on headsets. Otherwise, I would consider coming back for more movie nights.

    Really fun experience that we will 100% do again. We got the dinner & movie package, which I highly recommend. The food we got was all good and the wait staff was really pleasant. The menu is short, but everything we tried really tasted good. I can't even say what I liked best because it was all good, but I know my family really like the churro bites that they brought out during the movie. Only thing that could probably be better is the seating during the movie. Be forwarned that it is bean bags, and some seem more full than others since some people were able to sit up more and I was really forced to lay down a little. Space is also tight, so bad news for the 6 footers out there. I, however, am no where near that so it was tight for me but livable.

    date night!! my boyfriend took me out to watch scarface and we got the dinner beforehand as well. we arrived an hour early but only got through appetizer and main course so dessert was delivered to our beanbags. the food was good but everything was fried so it became very heavy. each person gets 1 appetizer and 1 entree and dessert is split. we had the fried mushrooms and croquettes for apps, the burger and chicken sandwich for main, and churros for dessert. the burger was nice but the chicken sandwich was dry. the churros were a little burnt and lacking some cinnamon. now the movie: they had some tech difficulties and the movie was paused in the beginning. took some time to get it working again. the beanbags are very comfy but maybe a little small for taller people. it did sprinkle a little in the middle of our movie too but it wasn't significant. they give you individual headphones but the bar portion is loud and blasts music which can still be heard we paid $120 for the movie and dinner for 2 people (drinks not included). i wouldn't come again just because of the music being blasted and the food options were limited/all fried except for the taco option. but im glad we checked it out!

    Overall nice experience! Very cold but they do sell little blankets. Would recommend bringing your own or dressing warm. There is a busy bar next door but they have the headphones and you can turn up the volume very loud and won't hear anything next door. Would go back!

    Looking for a hot date night? Head to Melrose Rooftop Theater, where movies meet magic. With wireless headphones, jaw-dropping views of Beverly Hills and West Hollywood, and a different flick every night, it's a reel treat.

    Nicole H.

    This is a super cute place for a date or a outing with friends. They give you headphones and you sit on bean bags. You can also order drinks and food during the movie. I highly suggest you bring a blanket!

    4 stars for the outdoor movie vibe and experience! Overall it was a super fun time. Saw Mamma Mia and was late booking our tickets so we had to grab the dinner + movie option. Honestly dinner is a hard pass for me. It's a fun idea I just wish the food was better executed. We live in LA where amazing food is constantly at our finger tips. The food was mediocre to say the least. It's a prefixed menu with two options for starters, two options for entrees, and one for dessert. Let's start with the starters (lol) you get either a poké style ahi tuna w/ tostada chips to eat it or a salad. Now I don't like fish so I passed on that but my friend said it was fine. The salad had good flavor but I wish it was iceburg or romaine instead of frisée. The entree was meh. The pasta while yummy was nothing to write home about. The steak was BEYOND fatty. If that's your thing go for it, but let's just say it was NOT great in our books. Dessert was cheesecake and very yummy. Probably the best part but beware you will have to share. For some reason they have deemed it to be a 1 per every 2 people kinda deal? Idk seemed like they cheaped out on us there. The service was nice enough! But do beware that they charge $2.00 for water service?? I can pour my own water??? Also cocktails are $21. Even for LA that hurt. Now the movie set up is super cute and definitely worth going to!! Comfy bean bags, individual headsets, a insta worthy views/backgrounds galore. Beware concessions are pricey (but so is normal movies in general). Bring a blanket & even a pillow if you wanna get cozy. I will say that my friend accidentally spilled her drink on herself towards the beginning of the movie, bought a box of candy to flag down a server to ask for a napkin and they never gave her a napkin (she asked two different servers) So service could be better in that regard. Especially since they say to stay seated and not approach the bar once the movie has started (they have online ordering for in movie service).

    Wore my heavy autumn clothes to stay warm in the chilly rooftop air...it was not enough. We left early. The chilly air was kicking our A** The Baja fish tacos were supreme. Can't remember the name of my iced cocktail. The seats were comfy. The customer service was swell. If possible bringing a giant duvet next time.

    From start to finish, we had a great time! We decided to do the dinner + movie for 50 pp. Dinner included 3 courses, 2 options between the appetizer and the main course then a cheesecake to share. Choices for food were: Appetizer: Spicy Ahi Tuna w/avocado and tomatoes + Tostada OR Salad with golden beets, raisins, and some additional greens (Go with the Ahi Tuna) Entre: Rigatoni pasta with tomato sauce + basil Steak with French fries and a salad side (My preference and my boyfriends preference was the rigatoni pasta. The steak was pretty chewy and had a lot of fat on it but if you like chewy and fatty go for it) . Dessert: Cheesecake with raspberries (absolutely delicious, just sad we only got 1) I'd rate the dinner at 3/5 in general The best was the upstairs rooftop set up and views. Drinks and snacks are pretty pricey at $8 for popcorn, $6 for candy, $20 a cocktail, $14 for their cheapest wine, and food pricing at $12-20 (nothing fancy here - tacos, burgers, fries) . Cocktails weren't very strong we definitely needed a few to have a slight buzz. Overall though we loved the vibe, the food was good, and the customer service was on par. We're recommending friends to go and to join for the next visit.

    Is it still the bean bag type seating or is it chairs? I've been before where it was a comfy bean bag. But I have seen other roof top cinemas where they have chairs.

    We have our wonderful big cushy bean bags!

    Are movies rain or shine? Or is todays showing cancelled because of weather?

    Will there be heaters during December screenings on the rooftop theater? Or the only way to keep us warm are the blankets?

    Are the events cancelled in bad weather? I bought two tickets for tomorrow but I know it's going to rain. Do I get a refund?

    If we choose to just do the movie experience, is seating not as great? What time should we come to get good seats (with a non-dinner option)?

    Hi Stevie, The seating is just as good for general admission tickets, but they will be first come… 

    Hi! Does anyone know what time you should arrive if you bought the VIP dinner and a movie tickets? Thanks!

    If I remember correctly, the restaurant will call you and tell you what time your reservation is for. If you get a VIP ticket there will be seats already marked with your name. If they don't contact you with a dinner reservation time your best bet…

Parking: We opted for valet, but if you prefer to find your own parking, there's street parking as well as a nearby parking garage. I believe the garage is around $23 for the full day, unless you're able to get your parking validated. Food: Everything came out pretty quickly, so we didn't have to wait long at all! For starters, we shared the Bruschetta with Burrata, which was enough for all four of us to enjoy. The baguette was perfectly toasted, and the burrata was so creamy. It was a great way to start the meal. Once we finished our starter, our main courses came out. We ordered the Funghi Pizza, Rigatoni Vodka, Six Cheese Tortelloni, and Spaghetti Carbonara. The pastas were creamy and flavorful, although they did feel a bit heavy. Of the four dishes, the table favorite was definitely the Funghi Pizza. It was very cheesy, and the combination of the mushrooms and cheese made it a standout for us. We ended our night with the Panna Cotta, which wasn't too sweet, but overall felt a little underwhelming compared to the rest of the meal. Service/Ambiance: The service was great! When we first walked in, it wasn't too busy, but the restaurant did start to fill up later into our meal. Even with it getting busier, our waiter continued to check in on us and made sure we were taken care of. Overall: We had a great experience celebrating our birthdays here! The food came out quickly, the service was attentive, and everything we tried was enjoyable. I can't wait to come back and try some of the other dishes!
