Screenland Armour

I finally got to Screenland Armour for Sunday's AAF Mad Men premiere party. I'm not sure why I waited so long. Maybe I was just lazy, I actually live blocks from the Alamo, so I go there more often.
At any rate, we should all support local independent theaters and all support theaters with bars and food. These are not that common and make for a full, fun evening all in one place.
Armour has a full bar and food.
They have one little theater and one larger space. Besides the traditional theater seats, there are couches located throughout the auditorium. Yay!
The movies and events held here are eclectic and fun, much like the Alamo's, but they do also get first runs.
If you haven't been here, give it a chance. There is currently a drive to save Screenland Armour, so they need your support. To show you how important these types of theaters are, their competitor, Alamo Mainstreet is holding a charity screening to benefit them. Go see a movie there this weekend.

Wonderful little theater, definitely a gem in the Northland. Nice stocked bar, friendly staff, well priced. After a movie, I sat at the bar for a couple drinks and the bartender interacted and conversed with us about his favorite movies, without trying to make a sales pitch. A very genuine place indeed!

Went to see Silver Linings Playbook on a Tuesday this week on a whim.  It was cold and crappy and just seemed like a night for a movie.  I've been to Screenland in Crossroads and Crown Center and enjoyed them both but haven't gotten around to trying this location.  Waiting was such a mistake!  
This is an absolutely fabulous theatre.  Retro,elegant and interesting yet ever so comfortable.  The couches in front are a little close for an action film but I don't do many of those anyway.  The staff is amazing the bar in the lobby area is super cool and everyone just makes you feel at home.
This is our new go-to place for movies.  If you haven't made it here yet, you are missing a real gem.
