Took my girlfriend to Rooftop Cinema Club DTLA to see Pretty Woman, and it was the perfect date…read morenight! The DTLA skyline views are incredible--watching the sunset turn into city lights while the movie started made everything feel so romantic and magical. We snagged a loveseat, which was super comfy for cuddling up, and the wireless headphones gave us crystal-clear sound without any outside noise interrupting the classic lines and soundtrack. The vibe on the rooftop is relaxed but lively--great drinks and snacks to enjoy before the film starts. Pretty Woman felt even more special in this open-air setting; we were both smiling and quoting lines the whole time. My girlfriend absolutely loved it, and so did I. If you're looking for a fun, memorable way to watch a movie (especially a rom-com on a date), this is it. Highly recommend-- we'll definitely be back for more screenings!

This is such a cute date night idea. There's plenty of eateries nearby to grab some dinner before…read more The cinema has some concession items like your regular candy, popcorn, nachos, and they also offer alcoholic beverages. Getting to the theater can be a little confusing, but they do send you instructions before your visit. BE AWARE their email says parking is right across the valet for about $10-$12. Since it was dark, I mistakenly parked at the lot next to the $10 one, and that one was $20 (ouch). Don't make that mistake. When you walk through the valet, there is someone there to tell you where to wait. The doors open about a half hour before your showing. We were a little confused because we weren't sure if someone was going to come down and get us. There was a resident that scanned us up the elevator, and there were plenty of spots to lounge outside of the cinema area. We sat in front of the concession stands, and the valet from downstairs had come up and ask us and the other two couples waiting to move to the seating area closest to the elevators. It wasn't a big deal but I thought it was weird that we had to do that. Our tickets were for the loveseat, which comes with one popcorn per person. We watched LaLa Land (in LaLa Land), which was nice because there's also a view of the buildings in downtown. Seat was comfy, but I wish there were either cup holders on the chairs or perhaps a small table in between seats for your food & drinks. I HIGHLY recommend bringing a blanket. There are other reviews that mention they have heaters, however, this was not the case during our visit. I'm thinking they probably have them for the winter, but there were no heaters present during our visit. It gets rather cold, but it feels okay if you bring a sweater and a small blanket. I loved the concept of the headphones for the movie. They were excellent quality and had great sound. You can adjust it based on your liking. Also, all the seats have a great view of the screen. It's a pricey date, but it's worth it if you're looking for something different.

(Attended 07/20/19 SA @ 4:45pm and many times before): I ate... I saw... I heard!…read more Eat See Hear descended upon L.A. State Historic Park in Chinatown for a screening of "Romy And Michele's High School Reunion" https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?select=J_opIRYcD5NywArq6Yy5wg&userid=8jVT2inwc8GIQ6sH2UG9Vw. Dubbed "LA's premier outdoor movie, food truck, and live music event series", this annual summer-long traveling entertainment circus (since 2012) made its way across various iconic venues throughout Los Angeles with its unmistakeable 3 1/2-story tall inflatable high-definition screen deemed the "biggest of its kind on the West Coast". A self-contained event, you were allowed to bring your own chairs, food, etc.. Pet-friendly with water bowls and treats throughout the venue, they tied themselves to the non-profit organization Best Friends Animal Society Los Angeles and No Kill Los Angeles (NKLA) to help with pet adoption. Would this nostalgic return and revamped idea of the drive-in movie pull at my sentimental strings to return for more!? PURCHASE General Admission Ticket/Seat ($14.00 + fees) - Purchased online (priced higher at the door the day of the event), this was open seating, so first come-first served. Armed with a low chair (ABSOLUTELY NO TALL CHAIRS), blanket, cushion, and pillow to sit on just in case, I claimed an unobstructed spot center screen at the very top of the seating area. Tickets also gained access to food trucks and live pre-movie music performance. Below were other ticketing options (things brought were the same): 1. Fashionably Late Tickets ($21.00 + fees - online purchase only) offered a limited quantity of guaranteed open seating tickets in a reserved area at the front of the house that allowed you to arrive at any time (hopefully before the movie started!). 2. Kids 12 & Under Tickets (approx. $8.00 + fees) offered the same as "General Admission". 3. Groups of 10 or more had group rates available. Live Music - A four-piece female-led L.A.-based band named "Lucy & La Mer" played melodic pop music that reminded me of The Asteroids Galaxy Tour and 10,000 Maniacs both I'm fans of. Their breezy chill music was perfect for a relaxing hot Saturday evening https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?select=agiSXIbbbsEISNq6gguTiA&userid=8jVT2inwc8GIQ6sH2UG9Vw. Food Trucks - Chanco's Tacos, Baby Badass Burgers, L.A. Donut, Pinch Of Flavor (see separate review), and more. All accepted credit cards https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?select=TIXwuenAbchDX1DAMGCw3A&userid=8jVT2inwc8GIQ6sH2UG9Vw. Vendors - Tillamook Ice Cream, Radio.com, and title sponsor Showtime (who gave away chairs!) were supporting partners who had giveaways https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?select=aLwm8nibpidofk48V5tf3Q&userid=8jVT2inwc8GIQ6sH2UG9Vw. SERVICE The online purchase was a breeze. There was excellent pedestrian and street directional signage to the main entrance. Marked signs once inside led you where to set up camp, restroom area, etc.. Both audio and visual systems were surprisingly clean and clear. There were the customary long food truck lines akin to L.A. traffic without the bad drivers. There were no onsite ATM machines. Generally-speaking, everything was fine and ran smoothly. PARKING (Varied; FREE this instance) Plenty of parking on the woodchips along the sidewalk. Otherwise, there was an abundance of timed parking along the main drag of Spring St. and all surrounding streets (FREE after 6pm) and $10 onsite parking. The Chinatown Gold Line Station and a bustop were about a 7-minute walk. Another option was to hire a driving service like a taxi, Lyft, or Uber. ATMOSPHERE, DÉCOR, AMBIENCE A large open-air grass field https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?select=P9gObCbeS5F9zUF89oj3Fw&userid=8jVT2inwc8GIQ6sH2UG9Vw, it was everyone for themselves as the gates opened and throngs of guests flooded in! Designated smoking areas were in the parking lot. Upon entering, you passed the sponsors area and porta-potties, then the lawn, and finally the food trucks all the way across. The music stage was at the foot of the screen, but wished they had a camera that projected the performance onto the screen. Exposed to the elements, you heard random sounds from conversations, dogs barking, and vehicle traffic, etc.. The aforementioned gigantic movie screen was your TV while DJ Howly and the live band provided the music. ATTIRE Totally casual, so I would normally be in a t-shirt, boardshorts, and flip-flops. OVERALL Eat See Hear at Chinatown's L.A. State Historic Park was my second favorite location because it was close to home, easy Metro train access, beautiful surroundings, and a ton of free parking. This concept was popular enough for others to imitate. The onsite staff were very charming and helpful. I found complete value based on the prices, service, and experience noted above (TOTAL paid experience was around $16.00; no tip required). And, they accepted my credit card of choice...AMEX! 5.0 STARS

David the concierge is 11/10 -- and I'm not exaggerating. The manager is a solid 9/10. Long story short: we didn't purchase our tickets online and tried buying them in person, but the kiosk showed only one ticket left. Instead of simply saying "sorry, we're full," they went the extra mile. After the movie started at 7 PM, they checked again around 7:15 for any no-shows. There were seats available, so they sold us the tickets and got us in. That level of follow-up and effort is rare these days.

After some time: Food was finally ready then I have to show my ticket!? Recommendations: The security check and ticket check should be combined. No one has time to go through security checks, grab snacks then try to fumble thru your phone with snacks to show a ticket.... Irritant: The person who checked my ticket... did not do a great job at articulating herself "take 2 elevators or you can take the escalator in the back"!? Two elevators!? Girl what!? I just figured it out on my own. Got to the elevator took it to the 2nd floor and there's a nice view of the fwy. Then I get to my movie... it's already playing!? What happen to it "officially" starting at 1:20pm? Annoyed was an understatement. Seat/Snacks: comfy, recliner style with table + cup holder Nachos/churros/icee -- 10/10 The movie: Ricky was beautifully done. Depicts 2nd chancers struggles upon release and how having support can stop recidivism was a huge take away. Anywho, after the movie I spoke to the manager: Jasmine. Explained what happen as I didn't see the beginning on the movie she offered for me to see it again --another time or see the next showing. I really appreciated that! The experience with the manger took a 3 star experience to 4 stars! I'd return again! Important to note: parking is only validated for 4 hours. After that you're on your own!

You can also purchase concessions at the kiosk when you purchase your tickets online which is super convenient. But unfortunately, you still have to stand in line to get your items, but at least the ordering part is out of the way. We went to see a movie on opening weekend, I was surprised that the movie was all the way up on the 3rd floor. That's inconvenient if you want to go buy more concessions or get refills because the only concession stand open is located on the first floor. It takes a lot of time to go down 3 floors then stand in line, so keep that in mind if you're in the 3rd floor. On the way up to the 3rd floor there were some kids playing in the elevator, no parents in site and not employees there to stop them from riding the rails. If you park in the correct parking lot they validate for discount parking. They have a security guard at the front door that checks bags.

The sound was fine and views seem good enough from just about every section, although I didn't go up on the balcony. The seats are small, as is the norm for theaters of this era. They were much more comfortable than other venues I have been to in the area. My only complaint was I am not sure the doors close (or there actually are any doors) from the (sumptuous) lobby, so sadly we could hear the staff from our seats. They were talking loudly by the doors to the orchestra area, super distracting. It was a live podcast, so probably not an issue if it's a loud concert. The beauty of this theater and it's history is the thing, and it makes for a memorable experience.

No long lines or congestion. Definitely recommend coming around an hour early if you want to get a drink, merch, and go to the bathroom before an 8pm show. We showed up at 7:30pm and barely made it through the doors at 8pm due to only 3 security lines. The line wrapped around the building down the street. I really appreciated the staff for managing the line and preventing line cutters. It was very exciting to see Lucy Darling and her right hand man, Mark. They were very funny and it was amazing to see them up close. The camera crew did great showing everything on the screen with subtitles and an ASL interpreter, but I still recommend getting seats as close as possible. I hope they come back!

The Club has a deal so you can take food from the market into the theater, which is great for these long events. The theater is one of the oldest in LA and carries the air of the height of classic movie times. You can hear the ghosts of the greats walking the corridors and waiting for screenings to begin. This event - an amazing screening of The Godfather trilogy- using Paramount's actual archive 35mm print (which has held up well for being over 50). Marlon Brando loomed over the whole event from taking it to the mattresses to making offers no one could refuse. Al Pacino's descent from war hero to brutal villain was magnificent to see again. Even Sofia Coppola was a vision on the big screen. There was an interesting introduction from the club with fascinating trivia about the movie along with quizzes and prizes. Bear in mind this is an old theater, so don't expect the comfort of modern movie theaters with reclining seats, laser projection, and Dolby sound; this is real 'old' Hollywood. Overall, a really enjoyable day out with a chance to see some classic films.

The small room was simply decorated and our small tables had stale popcorn already ready. It was a cute space, fits maybe 50 people. The staff was friendly, nice.

The food was plenty, I felt bad about wasting some but we had both spaghetti and ramen and that was too much. The actual food was OK, I liked the gnocchi the best and the ramen was awful too salty weird flavor. Overall, I'm a person who enjoys new experiences and even if I knew the food wouldn't be as good, I would still go. I know $200 is a lot of money but food is expensive, renting space is expensive, hiring people is expensive, everything is expensive these days but someone gave a lot of thought into this creation, planning, and execution and that's a lot of work that goes often under appreciated.
