The Cinema ‘N’ Drafthouse house, located just about a block from school on the corner of Walter Reed Drive and Columbia Pike, is a full style restaurant located inside of a 1930s art deco-inspired theater. There are a variety of entertainment types including live entertainment, movies, and a specific theater dedicated to comedy arts. The entire building has a very old-timey and retro feel that makes you feel like you are going back to the past. Other than there being a ton of food, the other super unique thing about this place is that there is table side service with either a bar or small side table for people to put food on. The chairs aren’t your classic theater chairs, but are still wide and comfortable. There is also an expanded dining area and lounge which are perfect for a variety of events.
The food options are pretty classic food for a typical American Restaurant. There are smaller bites of Bavarian pretzels, hummus, chips and salsa or queso, and popcorn, which comes in 2 sizes of medium or large, both with options for extra butter. There are also salad options, flatbread pizzas, a few wraps, and three sandwich options. There are also dessert options for either after other food or if you just want to have something sweet to eat while watching the entertainment.
Though the place might not be considered a classic theater, that is what makes it unique. The food coming to your table, as well as the general vibes, and the fact that it isn’t a traditional theater, lends to a fun experience for all.
