As mentioned in an earlier article, the 10-screen theater will offer scratch-made food (including burgers and pizza), and a full-service bar called The Press Room will sell local beers as well as wine and cocktails, and the theater has a policy of requiring proper etiquette including asking cinemagoers to not talk or text during the films.
