Awesome place! Nostalgia city, we saw The Goonies and the whole room was alive with it. They had great food served while you watch, and a solid drinks menu with beer, cider, cocktails, and wine. 2-person booth seating, so large groups will have to split up. Love this spot, will be back!

This restaurant is incredible! The drinks are amazing and the food is outstanding, especially the cheese curds, BBQ cauliflower, and delicious pizza. They have a great selection of beers as well. It's a hidden gem and my husband and I have been coming here for our date nights for 15 years. This place sets the gold standard for community-friendly spots in Capitol Hill. We never want to leave!

We really enjoyed watching Return of the Jedi there. Good vibe and food. Only thing that really killed the vibe was the noisy kids in the back, the parents wouldn't get them under control. I would like to see Central Cinema put up signage or a warning on the screen before the movie starts to be quiet or get kicked out of the theater type scenrio. Not fair to the other 20+ people in there when parents won't keep their kids quiet.

11/10 atmosphere love this place. I went to see K-Pop Demon Hunters here and it was an incredible experience and such a great introduction to the space. Totally unique experience. This is not a typical movie theater, but in a great way. It's just different.
