Access to your theater was effortless, the food and drinks were top tier for a movie theater. This was my first time visiting and unlike your conventional theater concession, what was provided was that of an actual restaurant experience. Do not go off by what the website says regarding not being able to order throughout your exotics and only being able to order no later that 30 min bright the movie starts. You can continuing to order throughout the experience. Very easy to do. Just or the button and your genial service will arrive in about two minutes or less. This will be my go to movie/bistro from now on.

I had such a good time tonight at the Arlington Cinema. Please don’t believe these bad comments because they are untrue.The place is clean, seats are comfortable, staff is friendly, food and drinks are good, and the vibe is cool and chill. With all that’s going on in DC, it’s nice to get out at a local spot not far from your home. Tone Bell and Rogo did an excellent job. I will be back to support this establishment.

Great venue for comedy and other entertainment. Wonderful service and neat food and drink. Parking an issue although it's downtown Arlington.

I visited this place for Adam Conover’s show. The venue was full, but the service was pretty good. They have good selection of beers and fast food. Also, there are those weird office chairs, but those are comfortable.

It was good to see the draft house is still here and still a place for comfy seats while being entertained. Michael Kosta was funny and even let us take photos (and quick chat) with him afterwards. The prices for drinks and food are a bit elevated but I recommend eating dinner somewhere else. Stick to snacks.

An old favorite where you order drinks and food and you sit at tables lots of comedy shows, movies and special outdoor movie festivals.

This is a large room with bar food and drinks. Parking was much easier than at the DC Improv. We were able to catch a major national headliner at this comfortably-sized venue. The service and food were OK... Nothing special, but not bad. Unlike the DC improv and the state theater, this theater had an air of disuse/decay and could use some sprucing up. It did the job, however, and I would go again to catch other headliners.
Came here for Karaoke night. It wasn't packed but thoroughly enjoyed the event! Service and food good and prompt! I ordered the veggie flatbread and was good for a drafthouse pizza!

Great show last night (Josh Johnson is hilarious) but this is not a place to eat. The food is mediocre, but the service was terrible.After the people who ordered at the same time as us finished their food, we flagged down a server to ask her to check on the status of our order. She apologized - sounded like she has to do that very often - and didn't check. About 20 minutes later we asked her again, so she finally asked after our order, which we received about two minutes later.Obviously, it has been sitting in the kitchen for about 45 minutes.If at all possible, get dinner before or after the show at an actual restaurant. There's a good Mexican place just around the corner.They do bring in great talent, though.

I enjoyed the show and my holiday eggnog, but my food sucked! Specifically, it was cold and the cheese was not melted. I almost wanted to ask them to microwave it. If I come again, I will ask definitely skip the food.

The intimate setting of this places created a cozy atmosphere that made our entire experience incredibly comfortable.We were able to sit at the bar top in the middle and it was honestly one of the best places to be, the chairs were comfortable and the servers very attentive.

Love the place. Great food, amazing atmosphere, what else do you need? I always recommend this place to people looking for something fun to do in Arlington. Also, Erin the manager is great! She was so nice and always looked after all of our needs.
