FilmBar

FiImbar has my heart. I've been a somewhat reguIar customer for aImost three years now. I come here to write, meet up with friends, watch fiIms, chat with KeIIy, Kristin, and Jeremiah( who are aII inteIIigent and fun to converse with), and to Iisten to spectacuIar Iive music. I reaIIy feeI that this cozy, ecIectic estabIishment has made me feeI back at home in the PNW. The popcorn is readiIy avaiIabIe and aIways tasty and saIted to perfection. The fiIm seIection in a breath of fresh air, which is what wooed me from the start. It's hard to put their genres into a category, but, I'm fond of documentaries, and independent/quirky dramas and comedies(aII of which they show).

They have interesting and rare pops, deIicious IocaI brews, and fIavorfuIIy baIanced wines. The best part, they're aII decentIy priced. They used to have a happening happy hour buy one get one deaI, hopefuIIy that wiII make a come back on speciaI occasions.


The onIy thing I can say that couId make FiImbar even more enjoyabIe wouId be to add some smaII sidetabIes next to the Iong bIack seats so that peopIe who are watching the music performances can put their drinks/popcorn/other food down somepIace other than the ground.


FiImbar is a perfect mingIing or soIo destination for anyone 21-infinity.

I finally made it to Film Bar to snag a showing of Pulp Fiction. I knew that if the staff members had chosen a Tarantino classic that I was going to be at home at this picture show.

The bar is warm, beautiful, and the Mexican saint candles tied the lounge all together. Perfect place for mingling and chit chatting with whoever you happen to be bringing along with you. Reasonably priced bar, a solid flight of craft beers/ciders. The fact that you can order a properly poured pint and a solid 23 oz. for full feature sipping is an upside versus the wine list which is limited and only a couple of the wines can be bought by the glass. Small selection of candy and popcorn so it's best to snag a solid dinner beforehand if you plan on boozing throughout the flick.

Loved that the TV's were playing film reels and trailers that inspired Tarantino's work and the music also matched which always rocks when you are getting pumped to enter the tiny theater.

The theater is small and the variety of seating definitely is a plus in my book compared to going to regular theaters. Some wobbly high tables but that's to be expected anywhere.

Overall, I just have to say that catching Pulp Fiction at Film Bar was a solid cinematic experience. As Vincent talks of his wonderful time in Amsterdam where you can by a beer in a movie theater, I definitely echo that thought and give thumbs up to Film Bar for getting on that level!

I've been here twice now, once for the bar/nightlife and another time to see Stand By Me as part of their 80's series.

The Bar: lot's of craft beer on tap at a very reasonable price: pints for $5 and schooners for $6.25. They had a fun DJ the night I was there. There was dancing and seating available with an artsy crowd.

The Theater: a quaint theater with about four rows of seats with tables in the back. Tickets were $8 a piece. It was fun to see one of my all time favorites on the big screen! They also show a lot of indy flicks, and sometimes TV shows like the Walking Dead.

I will definitely return, either to see another movie or to enjoy the bar.
