Weller, the manager here is always exceptional. It is obvious he actually cares about the cinema and wants everyone experience to be great. The food here is amazing, and the bar tenders are very courteous and will be happy to suggest something if you cannot make up your mind. The head chef does an amazing job as well as all the times I have now been here I have never had any issues with the excellent food.

Went to see our first movie since March and really enjoyed it! The staff was really friendly and helpful and seats in the theater were well spaced out. It was SO nice to have hot movie popcorn with butter again!

A newly renovated cinema. A tap room has been added that is a nice blend of pub and industrial . The tables have wood tops , bar height and comfortable . The ceilings are high and the lighting fixtures fit in perfectly . There are mixed drinks and craft beer available as well as some domestic beers . There is also a limited menu available . Food can be purchased and taken into the movie . Update : I’m here on a nice day . Both garage doors are open and the breeze is wonderful . This is going to be real nice in the fall . See last two pictures added .

Five stars just aren enough stars! We had been there a few times and we just celebrated our 30th wedding anniversary there. Ric (the GM) is just the best! He and his staff made sure our night went off without a hitch.The entire staff is so friendly and make everyone feel like they are part of the taproom family. Food is amazing, always fresh and a fantastic selection of their owns brews and wines. So if you are looking for just a great place to grab dinner, a place for a fun night out, or a great new place to make a regular hang pit with friends.... this is the place. Thank you Ric and the entire staff for a fantastic night!

Seriously go here! They have great drinks, awesome food (love the buffalo wings and fries pickles) and its a great date night or day. I saw you can book parties too. We watched the Bengals game and had lunch at the outside area and then watched Frozen 2!

We recently rented a theatre for a private movie experience for my daughters 14th birthday. We could not have been more pleased with how things went. The management, the projectionist, the wait staff, hostess and snack bar crew were all amazing. Everyone was polite and helpful, and the theater was very clean and set up to follow proper social distancing recommendations.If you need a space for a fun time for a sports team, group of friends, or birthday party... check them out!You can watch a current movie, or even bring your own DVD.Thank you RJ Cinema.

I love this place for the variety of beers on tap and great mixed drinks with their own branded vodkas. The food menu is delicious, I recommend the Tony Packo’s fried pickles as well as the RJ Street Tacos, nice open air dining area and on a warm day when the garage doors are open it is very pleasant! Lots of TVs to watch sports too.

Great place! Mimosa deals on Sunday and they are delicious. Pickle chips are a must try! Ample out door seating and the staff all wear masks. Inside is open air and everything is spaced out. Great atmosphere inside. Rustic modern. Doesn’t feel like a movie theater, feels like a nice casual restaurant. Favorite spot for a laid back Sunday afternoon. Tried the impossible burger today and it was cooked great!

I love RJ cinema! The food is good, the atmosphere is great, and the theater is awesome. The only complaint I have is that the chairs in the the a theaters are really uncomfortable. I will happily go to RJ Cinema anyway, but I hope they get more comfortable seating soon. Then they would be almost perfect. I absolutely love their throwback movies!!!

This place is super cool. Pretty good food, distillery and all.The movie theater is spacious and even has TV trays at your seat.

A different take on the cinema experience. You can eat in the dining area or take your food into the theater. The seating is comfortable and the sound is loud enough to hear but not too loud. The rewards club is a great thing to do. My only thought is that the menu is not big enough.

Review №21

This place is great! It was hopping when we got there, with a pretty packed bar area but it was easy to navigate the crowd and find a machine to buy tickets.The concession stand takes a little figuring out. They dont serve to your movie seat, so youll need to use a menu at the concession stand and grab a buzzer to return once your food is ready. A little how-to movie plays before the preview but knowing it all before you sit down is helpful.Staff is cheerful and helpfulTheater was clean and well lit. We will definitely be back.

This Theater was nice. Part brewery, part distillery & part theater. It has a nice welcoming Vibe with lots of wood on the ceilings and walls of the lobby / seating area. You can buy your tickets online or they also have kiosks inside. The theater does not have power recliners but it does have comfortable pleather seats. Every two seats there is a table for sharing and each arm rest has a cup holder. Although the food selection was limited it was tasty and their fries were good. I had the Brisket with FF. You order your food up front and they give you a little restaurant signaler box that lights up when your food is ready and you come back out and go to the counter to pick it up. The isles were nice and wide and the movie tickets cost a bit less. Parking was readily available and close.

Great mixed drinks and large beer selection. As they are a distillery definitely try their bourbon and vodka. Personally the Manhattan was perfect. Cinema itself is really clean. You order before and carry in on tray to your seat or sit in the lobby and eat at a table before. Fried pickles were the best Ive had.

We just had our annual national sales meeting here. James and his team were absolutely wonderful in taking care of our needy group!! The service was wonderful and the food was very good.I cant wait until it warms up! This place has it all! Movie theater, kitchen, full bar including 50 West Tap Beer, and an open patio that almost connects to Jungle Jims patio. This is a great entertainment spot for the East Side!!

Review №31

Very nice remodel. The movies look and sound great and the seats are relatively comfortable. The missing star is because they apparently no longer have servers, which could be disruptive due to everyone running back and forth with trays of food. Great atmosphere and friendly service. Highly recommend.

Review №32

This was a pleasant experience. The food was average. Do not order the flat bread pizza. It was the equivalent of frozen pizza. The appetizers were ok. The seating is comfortable and I like picking up my own food Vs having a server. Next time I will stick to popcorn and pop.

Great space for just about anything. If you wanna see a movie, the theaters are solid. If you want to have a beer after work, plenty of taps. If a cocktail is going to hit the spot, then one of their house specials will do the trick. Grab lunch or dinner before the movie. Even private events are accommodated. The staff is friendly and professional.

Review №35

Took the kids to Frozen 2 matinee and had a great time. Clean, friendly staff, comfortable seats, and concessions pricing not quite as bad as other theaters. Alas, on our second trip they had a political fundraiser in the main lobby, and Im taking two stars away. Id like to go to the movies and forget about our countrys political circus. Maybe try local charities this being the season of giving and all.

I almost gave this cinema a 4 star rating simply based on the price of the foods. Then, I thought better of it. If I don’t want to pay those prices are then I will eat at home, and that’s on me. The folks that are there, perhaps one was the owner, they were all very nice and accommodating! The cinema has a bar with a comforting rustic feel. There are tables at your reserve seating, which you can choose at time of purchasing movie ticket. I was completely mesmerized by the window effect in the bar. ‘‘Tis the season to wonderfully and brilliantly creep out the patrons!! I’ll attempt to attach a pic.I was thrilled with my experience here and I’ll definitely be returning soon.

First time here with my fiance and was very happy with the experience. We remember back when the space was the old Danbury Dollar Saver. Remodel looks great, entire space was spotless and the staff was friendly. We agreed we need to start coming here over our usual movie spot.

Saturday night the bar area was full.The movie (1917) was fairly empty.The food was ok, they were revising their menu after our visit. Food is ordered and then you must come and get it when you get buzzed. Meaning you must get their early to order your food before the movie starts.

Disappointed. Looked at the website for show times. Had a movie listed at 4:10. We arrived 10 minutes early. When we got there the doors were locked. The bar door was locked. They had a worker in the bar area who ignored us. Is this place even open? Ended up going to pierce point. Was really excited that this cinema was opened again, but after this experience we will probably drive a little further and go to Pierce Point.

Review №48

Fantastic New Cinema and micro brewery/distillery? I suppose theyve been open for a little bit however this is my first time visiting. Self service diner you can bring the food to the show or hang in the cafe to eat. No bothersome attendants getting in the way of the show. Very nice clean facilities, honestly I give it a 4.5 stars for the seat size. For bigger guys like me it can be a bit of a squeeze when you have the arm rests down. For reference Im 71 270 lbs. Even with the minor drawback, I will be a return customer and I will recommend this place to my friends.

Heres how it works. You go in buy tickets. You also place your order for food and drinks. Drink stations around corner. Food pickup is at the food pickup window that a buzzer tells you food is ready, the ticket agent gives you. There is no waitstaff, I dont mind this. Keeps costs down. Pretzels were really good. Doughnut holes someone was raving about. Street tacos I enjoyed. Remember this is a theater so prices reflect this. Careful of the seating cause its misleading, we picked seats that were below sight line so we moved back two rows. I enjoyed my experience and look forward to going back.

Amazing experience. Well be back!!! Its sooo nice that youre expected to get your food/drinks first and bring them to your own seat like adult. You dont have wait staff in and out while movie is playing. Really. I can relax and watch a movie there finally.Walking in you feel cozy in the large beautifully renovated space with lots if wood, various seating, open air space from the front through to the back, and fire places. Clean. This place makes me wanna see movies more often you cannot even imagine how nice it actually is. Too stinking cozyUpdate: still awesome. Im afraid to say how awesome because I dont wanna jinx it. I want this place to stay open. Seating still comfy, even though its not the electric recliners. I imagine in time, other theaters start to have wear and tear of those... costs $. Btwn that and no wait staff I feel confident they put $ to good use with upkeep. Some theaters start off nice and dont have money for simple upkeep like wall paper, or bathrooms. Still clean, no fuss atmosphere. Good in house spirits..

It was a great place, Just wish it had more comfortable seats. I also didnt like the fact that they turned off the soda machines while we were still watching a movie. They did have a lot of options as far as food goes, also the mexican restaurant next door and the bar inside the theater seem to be full of life.

I love this concept. A bar, a restaurant, and a movie theater. I like that they were tables in between the seats so that food from the bar could be eaten during the movie. I wish they offered more than just bar food. Theyd do well to launch an expanded menu.
