This last time I went which was Janufor an 8:15pm showing of Jumanji (theater #9). I used to love coming to this place, but every time I go now, it is like it is on a downhill direction spinning out of control. Pro tip, it's the only theater you can order tickets directly from the Movie Pass app without using the card. I'd like to see some vegan options and maybe a few more film choices, but regardless I was glad to have this unique theater nearby. The drinks include a variety of cocktails, a little pricey but you're paying for the experience as well. The sound system is decent, which is good as the theater plays mostly Hollywood fare, and the occasion screening of work by local film makers. It's a chain, so it lacks some of the character of Nighthawk, but the trade off is a newly renovated theater (which had been a United Artists among other things in the past) with a consistent menu, although not a huge variety of choices. Unbeknownst to me, a quick ride on the El to 69th Street leads to the Studio Movie Grill. With all the trendy new concepts in Philly (ping pong, video game bars, thankfully no ax throwing yet), I wondered why this hadn't come here yet. I will never come back here.Not so long ago I visited a friend in Brooklyn who told me about the Nighthawk Cinema, which was a movie theater with a bar (not so unusual) which had wait service (unusual!). My biggest regret is not getting the name of the waitress (that served Row D, seats 1-2) and the manager who was rude to my husband. As a black couple, being singled out for something as simple as going down a wrong hallway, tells just how racist this establishment is. If I patronize your establishment, I should be treated with respect. Additionally, the managers' behavior (who was also white or Latino) made me feel like they thought we were common criminals.
It is insulting, rude and completely inappropriate for an employee to even joke about. I don't appreciate people insinuating that I'm sneaking into a movie (especially when I'm not). And the managers' abrasive demeanor, due to the fact that my husband was merely looking for me, was aggressive and unnecessary. A manager approached him and in an abrasive tone he asked, "Can I help you with something?" When my husband explained that he was looking for me another employee (a white woman who was our waitress) stated, "Oh, they're just trying to sneak into another movie." Regardless if she was joking or not, that was completely unacceptable. When I found my way back, I saw my husband outside of the restroom, looking for me. Once I exited the restroom, I made a wrong turn and headed down the wrong hallway (not towards the exit). After the movie was over, my husband and I used the restroom. The last time that my husband and I were here I had a terrible experience.
