Northern Lights Theatre Pub

If there was an option for no star, I'd gave Northern Lights that rating.

About two months ago, my fiance and I came to Northern Lights to see Django, because I'm a Jamie Foxx and Quentin Tarantino fan! Plus, we missed Django in a Regal theatre. Excited that it'd be our first experience at Northern Lights to have "dinner" with a $3 movie, we decided to go there.

While getting our movie tickets, the ticket cashier told us that they have 34 seats available. We're like "great!" While my fiance was in line ordering our food, it was my job to locate seats for us. People also coming to see the same show scattered outside the 1-door for entry, like a group of puppies waiting for their snacks. As soon as the door opened, people started aggressively pushing their way in (I'm not a pusher, because I just think it's plain rude!). Thinking to myself: what is everyone's rush, the ticket cashier just told us that there's approximately 34 seats available?! As soon as I got in, I saw why people were rushing in- there were no seats! There was one vacant seat in between some people, but it was either reserved or people just refused to move down, because they wanted an extra seat between them and another person.

Finally, I was able to locate two seat, but it was without a table. All the other seats came with a table for food! ARGH! After placing our food order, my fiance came in and helped ask people, who weren't saving seats to move one seat over, in hope that people would be considerate and kind, but of course- they continued to refuse! Terribly frustrated, we decided to ask the theatre management if we can either get some support or get a table for the two vacant seats, so we can eat. This is a really old theatre, as you can tell why they are playing older-run movies; therefore, the seats aren't comfortable to eat our food off of our laps nor will we eat our food off of the theatre floor! Absolutely absurd!

In conclusion, the theatre manager was unsupportive of any of our request. We asked for a refund and walked out. Northern Lights staff seemed very unsympathetic and unsupportive of our poor experience in their facility. Additionally, the ticket cashier must not know how to count and track the number of seats available!

Unless you want to push your way in, like you're in kindergarten, I DO NOT RECOMMEND coming to this place!!! I'd advise you all to save your money and time, and cook at home or get take outs and just rent a movie from Red Box. It'd be a WAY BETTER experience without the hassle of other people's inconsideration.

P.S.
My fiance sent Northern Lights an email in regards to our experience and he received a generic "we're sorry" email. BOO!

Inexpensive movie dates! Yay!

I love being able to watch a movie for $3!  When you come here for the first time don't don't have too high of expectations.  This theater does serve food  so you can have diner or dessert while watching the movie.  The movies they play here are not new releases.  They are usually the movies that just stopped playing at the big theaters in town.  That works for me since I generally don't want to pay $10 to go watch a two hour movie.  When you walk into the place it does look a little trashy, but what can you expect when you are only paying $3 to get in.  I'm not sure how good the food is because I have a food allergy and can't eat there.  A plus for a lot of people is that they have a bar where you can get drinks at the later shows and also kids are not allowed into those shows.  

It's nothing fancy, but if you want a fun night out that isn't going to drain your bank account dry then check this place out.
