Grindhouse!
I've only ever been to this place for Kung Fu Grindhouse, so remember that this review is only applicable for Grindhouse nights.
Pros:
-Friendly barstaff
-Fun atmosphere
-Good drinks
Cons:
-Small
-Seating is not the most comfortable
-Dirty (in a "this place has been around since the 70s" way, not in a "I don't want to touch stuff" way)
If you want to get a good seat, show up before the first movie, otherwise you'll risk spending the night perched awkwardly perched on a poorly-located barstool and bitching about lower back pain or standing in a random spot and wishing you'd worn running shoes instead of Converse.
Also, there's no food or snacks served here, but last time I went they were nice about letting your bring your own food. Do it - it's a three-movie marathon, so you'll want something to munch on by the time the third one starts.
Despite my bitching, I'm definitely a fan. Great event, good drinks, excellent atmosphere, and did I mention the good/bad movies?
