Who of us doesn’t want to escape life for a few hours?

Well, we can all agree that going to the theater and watching a movie does just that. And, despite the invention of home theaters, we still love to go to movie theaters.

There is something special about it – the taste of movie popcorn with the soda, the big screen, the large speaker system, and being in the audience when all scream, laugh, or oooh at the same time.

These days, many theaters offer good food selection at the movie along with a fully stocked bar and other gaming options onsite. I believe that’s what makes it worthwhile.

Dine in Movie Theaters

Dine-In Movie Theaters have been upping up their game as well, bringing you the best of both worlds – great food and the latest movies. What’s better? – Dinner and a movie!

Many of us are looking for something more whether it’s a full-service bar, luxury lounger or a nice meal they can enjoy on ultra-plush seats.

And, for those that have to sit through a kid’s movie that isn’t quite to their liking they can at least sit back, have a decent meal, and, of course, drink a glass of wine or beer to soothe their discomfort.

Some theaters have dining areas and full-service bars and lounge in the lobbies which are great for meeting up before or hanging out after the movie.

Studio Movie Grill is probably the closest to us and most well-known for dine-in movies.
