They don't really shut the lights off completely during a movie. Not sure it's a good thing. Hot dogs are disastrous.
Brad DayJune 11, 2011In Aud. 1 balcony, go to the cash bar at the back. The line is usually much shorter!
Tickets are returnable for a full refund if you buy in advance and can no longer attend!
Jeff WangNovember 26, 2011Great friday night date place with great Korean and Japanese restaurants nearby
Jonathan WellsNovember 26, 2016Theater 3 is next to a karaoke lounge. We could hear sound bleed several times during our evening screening. Asked manager for refund. Sundance you can do better for $16.50/ticket.
antuan goodwinApril 2, 2011This is totally a date theater, especially the upper level cafe area. Don't even think about coming here alone.
Eric M.November 11, 2012You see the movie better with your eyes open. And get a drunk at the bar while you are at it.
If the main bathrooms are crowded, there's a secret lesser used one. Somewhere.- Ashley MowreyNovember 21, 2014Sneak booze into the theater if you're on the right floor, the bar is too expensive and the wine too subpar.
Arrive early and enjoy a thematically appropriate cocktail
judyAugust 16, 2009preorder your seats so you don't have to wait in the theater. and if it's not crowded, leave a space so four of you aren't clumped together in an empty theater.
Bars are closed during the day? Sad times. An iced latte and popcorn with real butter can accompany me into this screening of Animal Kingdom
Christie HeikkinenNovember 2, 201221+ balcony seating with specialty themed cocktails! You can reserve your seats with their website.
Love that you can bring alcohol into the theater!!!
Rich ReaderSeptember 28, 2009The San Francisco International Film Festival employs the Kabuki as one of its' principal screens, and shows some of the most exotic, unusual films that you could ever hope to find.
Phil HavlicekJuly 4, 2011Bring in some vegetarian burritos and buy some drinks at the bar. Try the themes ones.
- Sean MeansJune 20, 2010Dinner with friends.followed by drinks and a 21+ showing of a G movie -- there was something profoundly comforting about the adult laughter that filled the place.
IFCJuly 6, 2010SF: Reserved seating, cocktails, popcorn with REAL butter. That's how movies should be watched. -IFC Viewer- Annette HunterMay 7, 2011If you see a movie in theater 4, make sure you sit toward the center, as the screen is offsset to the right!
Only wish they had a bar IN the movie. Don't want to miss the movie for round two.
Balcony seating requires bottle of wine not a glass!
MazdaOctober 30, 2010Pick your seats online and enjoy a cocktail in the balcony. The ultimate movie watching experience.
Szabolcs BokonyiJune 22, 2016The cinema is an ok place with nothing special but the snacks prices were shocking.
Sit in the balcony at a table to enjoy dinner and a cocktail with your movie. You can also bring your cocktail into the upstairs theater.
