Now it's one consistent disappointment after another…read more I honestly don't know if anyone has been a bigger advocate for this place in all of Raleigh than I have, but I would never recommend it to anyone at this point. I used to be here three times a week. Now the last five times I've been here, something significantly wrong has happened. Everything from 1/3 of the beer menu having disappeared, to the disaster of the QR code system they are using. The list goes on and on. What a shame.

Admittedly I haven't been here since the remodel, so take this lightly, but I am a little salty about it. I'm all for revitalizing places in order to draw in more of a crowd but it does feel a little out of place now. Kind of giving "what is wrong with you? Why are you BLUE?" Yay: -old as hell -cute n quirky -keeping a local cinema alive -does live shows too which I can appreciate -they go hard for Rocky Horror Nay: -be prepared to search for parking -seems to do less independent/artsy movies and stuff now and more live shows (and such and as a movie lover it hurts a smidge) -seriously, why is it SO blue

It takes me about 45 minutes to get there so it better be worth the drive. The lobby was remodeled, and some concessions are available to grab yourself. Then, when you get to the front of the line, it tells you which register to go to. The theater was actually clean, but some of the seats were still worn. The restrooms were still not clean enough and could use more attention. With all the staff working there, they had plenty of staff to keep the building clean.

If yall don't take care of your seats, I refuse to believe yall take care of other parts of the theater, concessions included. We won't be back.

DO NOT GO HERE. Arguably the worst cinema experience of my life. The theaters are in horrible…read moredisrepair with the seats literally falling apart. Peeling leather. Broken features. The lack of a call button or service app ending up making our experience even worse. We ordered one soda and one beer and AN HOUR into the movie everyone else in our row had been served full meals and I was forced to leave the movie to go find my server. I would have let it go but this place makes you PRE-PAY and PRE-TIP for what ends up being horrible service. At the service window I found my server and let him know it had been an hour and he said "we are trying to get drinks out" This was followed by snide comments from another server from within the stand. I'm sorry but if I don't have my order one hour into a two hour movie you have completely failed and shouldn't be marketing yourself as a food-based cinema experience. To make matters worse my seat was completely broken. No recline. I would have brought this up if I had seen my waiter at all in the first hour. Finally, for me the worst part of my experience is that they had glitching and stuttering on playback multiple times in the first and second reel. The one thing they should be flawless at is projecting a movie and they can't even do that correctly. I will NEVER be back to this theater. This is why theatrical attendance is down. This is why movies are dying. People can have a better experience at home. Congratulations on contributing to the death of the theater experience.
