“I was blown away by how amazing the inside of this building was. Came expecting to see Rocky Horror and Moulin Rouge, but what I did not expect to see was an old school organ in the dead middle of the stage with an old man just pounding away at some great tunes. This place is classy and a great way to impress any person.” – Zak Goddard

“First time here for their rooftop movie events. Very small and intimate area among the hollywood skyline with a bar, umami burger (serving until the start of the movie), photo booth, corn hole. Your given noise cancelling headphones to use if you chose to listen to the movie and a blanket. Definitely coming back & bringing more friends!” – Lennon L.
