TheA_Bomb Posted April 9, 2010 Share Posted April 9, 2010 I am curious here in Dallas/Ft. Worth there is a proliferation of these Movie Theatre Restaurant places Movie Tavern, Cinema Movie Grill etc. You pay for a movie and it is a regular theatre but you have a table and place an order with a waitress. You can get standard movie stuff like popcorn but you can get appetizers, burgers, pizza, nachos, salads etc. They also have beer which is great. Most of them will show the Cowboys games or other big time sports events. Are there any places like this in STL? If so where I haven't seen any but I've lived out of town for a while now.

The Ritz tried it for awhile but I think it failed. The moolah does a little of this. Several places have a bar. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Box and Won Posted April 9, 2010 Share Posted April 9, 2010 Unfortunately, there's nothing like that here, although I think it would do quite well. It would be a great concept for a theater like the Avalon at Kingshighway and Chippewa, or even downtown. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bonwich Posted April 9, 2010 Share Posted April 9, 2010 The Ritz's set-up was half-a$$ed -- it tried to shove the concept into a space that wasn't meant for it. I think it's a trend that comes and goes, and it's really difficult to make money at. The Cervantes tried to do this way back in the '80s in the space that turned into the expansion of Straub's (back side, along Maryland Plaza) in the CWE.

eskimo Posted April 9, 2010 Share Posted April 9, 2010 There were some plans to build this type of theatre in a new district in St. Charles where the Noah's Ark Hotel used to sit, but I'm not sure about the current status of that development.

Is breast feeding while dining in public a trend? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moolah, near SLU across street on Lindell; mostly couch seating downstairs. Balcony seating standard movie type. Does well shows first run movies. Cocktails, beer, restaurant food, and normal popcorn concession stands unless they changed recently. Cool building with bowling on lower level which means counting student union and Moolah there are two bowling alleys on or near campus, as well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
