It is a nice place. The venue/building and area is nice. The theater seats are older- since the…read moreseats don't recline and aren't puffy they aren't the best out there. The theater was clean and staff were very nice. The food was good and the menu has a good amount of options. You can get parking vouchers when you buy food; however, sometimes like evenings on most weekdays (I am not sure about Friday) parking will be free.

How much do we have to spend to get the A/C turned on?!…read more I went this past Sunday to see the Devil Wears Prada 2 (for the second time; first time I saw it at iPic). Tickets are cheap: $30 each. Wine was a rip-off at $20 a glass for table wine (cocktails at iPic are $10). We ordered two glasses without realizing it'd be $40. The bartender had already pour our glasses before we could change our mind (and wish she would have alerted us that for $10 more we could have purchased the entire bottle... So almost $100 later, we are in theater 7 where it was stuffy and hot as hell; people were sweating. I had my jeans rolled up to my knees and eventually went to the concession stand for cups of ice water and they gave me cardboard boxes to serve as a fan. That's just ridic. Def can't blame the staff because they're mostly teens. But management, corporate, and even Nicole Kidman--take notice and fix this stat. For now, we're just gonna go to iPic because you spend about the same amount and for a much more enjoyable movie experience.

I've been to a few movies here, independant films and documentaries mostly. I am part of the…read moreHouston Green Scene so they use this venue once a month for their Green series. I wish I could go more often but they always choose good ones and have good speaker panels. I've also been to other documentaries that I'm not even sure how I have heard about?? Nonetheless I'm glad I have friends that keep me in the loop. I guess this should be more a revue for the venue since so many organizations use it to screen moview and hold discussions. It's really great that Rice can open this up to the public and it provides adequate space and comfortable seating and format for a variety of different events. It's never been too crowded, the screen is large and clear, good sound, fomfortable seats. Behind the theater there is a large common space for pre-or post movie mingling, eating and drinking. Tip: it's super easy to find free parking across University in the neighborhood and walk over!

And for the non-conformist in you, some of their films are more small-time and obscure than what you'd find at the MFA. They're hosting a few different film festivals this year, including an Asian film festival and a Latin American film festival. And they sometimes host Q and A's with the filmmakers, which brings alot of energy to the screenings. Obviously, it comes with the inherent pitfall of any art film venue.. you can see some real stinkers there. But another day, you'll catch something cool and memorable that you would never have seen anywhere else. There are a few cons: First and foremost, it's CASH ONLY and there isn't a convenient ATM nearby. Second, parking is confusing since it's on the Rice campus. And finally, there's no concession stand. The film calendar on their website is well-kept now, and is updated regularly. http://film.rice.edu/Events.aspx

Cute drive in, playing the latest movies! Address is now 45…read moreDelano Ave. The experience is heavily based on the weather outside, but the theater operates rain or shine. Bring a fan or chairs to set up outside if you're not watching in your car. Recommend to buy your tickets a head of time: the attendant can help purchase tickets but the way also check for your headlights to turn off during the movie. Tickets don't open until the day or so before movie. Audio comes on a FM radio channel- car battery needs to be on or bring a radio. We arrived @ 7:30 for a 9:00 PM movie, there was already a line for prime spots but it's worth getting there with about 1.5 hours to give to allow for checkin, finding a decent spot, and getting set up/going to the bathroom (porta potties were quite clean). They have a small concessions stand and one food truck when I went. Ground was wet so had to deal with a not so great parking or walking to the porta potty situation. Very barebones place but you get the experience you prepare for!

We just…read morecame (thursday night) to watch Spiderman: Brand New Day & thankfully it wasn't as packed as we thought it would be. We showed up right at 7:30 to make sure we got a good spot, but honestly it didn't get full until closer to 8/8:30. Unfortunately there weren't any food trucks, but the concession stand had plenty of snacks. The movie was great, with not too many interruptions & I like that there were a lot of families there! Now considering there were families there I was kind of bummed when it all of a sudden started to smell real loud . People hotboxing their cars, couples smoking outside, but the best part was the EMPLOYEES smoking a blunt in the back. By the back I mean near the port-a-potties that are located in the back of the small parking lot. These weren't kids in high school that were tryna be cool, these were grown adults. Do what you want. Do it at home. But don't be bringing it around little KIDS & especially when it's your place of employment.

I don't remember them serving food while I was there, but the drinks were definitely flowing. The bartender was friendly and quick with the mixes -- no long waits at the bar, which is always a plus when the place starts getting busy. The energy really picked up once the house music got going. The DJ kept the crowd moving, and the whole space felt lively without being overwhelming. I also appreciated that they had plenty of seating, including booths for groups who wanted to sit back, catch up, and still enjoy the music. It's a solid spot whether you're there to dance or just hang out with friends.

It's small enough that you can actually feel close to the artist, which makes the experience much more personal than a huge arena. I love being up close and personal with the talent, and HOB is one of those places where that's actually possible. The venue has a good concert atmosphere without feeling overwhelming, and I've always enjoyed the energy of the crowd. It's easy to see why so many artists stop here when they want a more intimate show. Overall, it's a solid venue for what I go for.
