We rented this charming little theater on 25th Street for my daughter’s 16th birthday, and it was an absolute hit. The space is full of character (loved the muppet critics looking over us!) and the perfect aesthetic for a fun, memorable night. Communication with the team was easy and incredibly responsive, and the entire process was smooth from start to finish.
A couple of tips for future renters: It was a little warm inside (but it was nearly 100 degrees outside), so you may want to bring an extra fan or two just in case (or check ahead to see what’s available — there may have been fans and I just missed them!).

Their customer service, engaged with mainly through text message, was painless, courteous, and all around surprisingly good - when I did have to talk to the owners over the phone, they were extremely patient and helpful.

Cinema 502 made our party a HUGE SUCCESS and it wouldn't have been possible without their patience and understanding. I want to thank the staff sincerely and I will definitely be doing this again for...
Read moreBooked for the Superbowl and it was a great time! Website advertised a capacity of 27 people; we sat 20 very comfortably. Screen is a perfect size for the venue. Love that you can bring your own drinks and food. There is a fridge up front in the lobby to store drinks and whatnot if you decide to do a potluck.
Owners were great about communicating with us throughout the booking process. I had a lot of questions and they were always prompt in their response. I really felt like they cared about our experience and were willing to help us work out the kinks ahead of time.
Cleanup was reasonable and quick. Book with confidence for your sporting event, video game night, bridal shower,...
