Why is there nothing like like this in the SF Bay Area? It seems to me a theater that served beer and decent pub food would do well in SF and I'd pay a premium both for the movie tix and the food, but at the same time similar quirky places like the Red Vic shutdown.


Kabuki theater At Geary and...Fillmore (japantown)? in SF has assigned seating (pick when you purchase), a bar/lounge, nice captains chairs, and beer/wine in some of the theaters in the evenings. They also have a good mix of movies.


The Kabuki theatre in japantown does a decent approximation for this. Seeing a movie there is a quite enjoyable experience.


There used to be one in Oakland.


That was Oakland's Parkway Speakeasy Theatre, now closed. :(

Good news! They've signed a lease at a new location.

The Rialto in El Cerrito serves beer and will bring food in to you.. It's quite a fun experience!
