Jess NaldoApril 4, 2015Come early and hop in line to get your first pick at seats! Smooth service and A+ reasonably priced grub: Queso, tater tots, truffle popcorn, juicy burger, etc. Don't forget to try brunch!
Time Out New YorkDecember 19, 2017New York City’s first dine-in movie theater is open on Christmas Day, screening your holiday favorites. Order the seasonal hot apple cider, spiked with a choice of bourbon, rum or ginger liqueur. Read more
- Time Out New YorkDecember 19, 2017This bar offers everything you could possibly want on Christmas Day: fireplaces, beer and bocce. Come by yourself and cozy up to the fire with a good book pulled straight from Union’s library. Read more
Maybe my favorite theater in NYC. The food is banging and I love how they have specials inspired by the movies they show. Buy tickets ahead of time; they often sell out
Foxxy BNovember 3, 2017Get there early: they begin seating 30min before showtime, & the theaters are small. Takes about 5 to 10min for drink orders to be filled, & 5min for your drink order to be "grabbed", so be proactive!
Scott CautionJune 12, 2017Similar to Alamo Draft House. Fun brunch movies and shows. Great way to see a movie. Has themed dinner dishes and drinks to the movie.
Addison HuffDecember 29, 2014They consistently have a great rotation of movies, tasty cocktails, and a myriad of food options. Whether you're looking for a full meal, or something to snack on, they have you covered.
Kisha ChandlerJuly 9, 2018Great ambiance and experience. Great place for a date. However, servers are cold as ice, need to have a more pleasurable demeanor. Otherwise, nighthawk is great. Some of the seating might be awkward.
M GonzalezMarch 5, 2018Great place for dinner, drinks, and a movie. The programming is a hit or miss but they have fun midnight showings and the ticket prices are on the cheaper end.
SheenaSeptember 2, 2016What's not to love about excellent movies, food, and drinks all at the same place? Also a fan of the pre movie reel, a selection of clips related to actors and themes of the movie you're about to see
The non-mainstream films, intimate viewing rooms and extensive options of beer, wine & spirits guarantee a kickass experience, especially if you prefer solo viewing.
Village VoiceMay 17, 2016With pineapple Jarritos, coconut sorbet, and Flor de Caña Silver rum, Nitehawk Cinema's piña colada float is pure vegan indulgence. Read more
Gordon MeiJuly 13, 2014Quaintest way to dine and drink while watching a film. Food ordering feels natural with the viewing experience. Pre-film shorts and ads here are a refreshingly tasteful contrast from chain theaters.
Nir BanchikSeptember 16, 2017First thing,great atmosphere. Retro looking , great seats and amazing collection of movies!. The concept is great and with great food its make the experience just amazing. Will definitely come again
Date Night Is...April 29, 2013The best movie theatre in the city for a Date Night. Where else can you enjoy a tasty cocktail and gourmet food in the middle of a show? If the show is sold out, stop by the bar for snacks & drinks.
Stina P.February 1, 2014this theater provides everything one might wish for in going to the movies: in theater two tops, alcohol, gourmet selection snacks, and a rare energy. nitehawk naughties is also iconic so don't miss!- Teal PrangeDecember 18, 2016A great experience.. they show clips of old movies on the screen before the movie which is great entertainment. Added bonus: $5 drinks from the bar below the theater with your ticket stub
A BCDAugust 5, 2015Awesome old movie theater. Seats have little tables and you can order food (usually themed to the movie, how cute) and drinks. Tickets sell out, so buy in advance. http://www.nitehawkcinema.com/
Douglas EllimanJuly 22, 2014What better way to experience a movie then being served dinner in the theater? Along with the tasty fish tacos and burgers, this theater has special dishes and drinks themed after its featured film!
KristinaFebruary 11, 2016Paradise must look like this. You can order snacks (like heavenly seasonal popcorn with Cinnamon Toast Crunch and honeycomb butter) as well as cocktails to your seats. Love it.
Cole KennedyOctober 7, 2022It took me way too long to come here for a movie, but had a great time. One of the few places the back row is home to some of the best seats in the house.
Mario MayorgaOctober 16, 2013Place is small with a bar if you wanna grab drinks before or after.Theater room has tables & a menu.Write down your order.Server brings it to you.Drinks came in glass & popcorn served in a bowl.Nice!!
Come early, order your drinks and food and watch the amazing pre-show movie clips they put together. Always in the theme of the movie or showing great/hilarious moments from the actors' pasts.
AmateurConciergeJuly 4, 2016Make sure u upstairs ~15-20 before showtime so U can snag preferred seats and order food/drinks before the film starts. The truffle popcorn is addictive!!- Paul WrightDecember 9, 2012Spoons, Toons and Booze is an excellent event. Mike is a fine host and Nitehawk the perfect venue. Cereal, White Russians and audience selected cartoons cannot be beat.
Shaun YoungMarch 14, 2017I'll be a little honest: I was very surprised how good the food is here. The popcorn alone is the best I've ever had, as well as the tater tots (yes, really). This place is the truth.
Mike McBryanJanuary 12, 2015The theater are very small (<50 seats) but the tickets are reasonable ($11) and so is the food. Service was great and not disruptive at all and the snacks were all tasty. Will be back!- Time Out New YorkFebruary 1, 2012Each theater has paired seats and tables where twosomes can nosh while taking in indie and retro flicks. Split the Nitehawk Queso, with melted cheese, black beans, spicy chorizo and cooling guac. Read more
- Douglas EllimanJuly 7, 2014Best dinner and movie experience. In addition to the tasty yet standard fish tacos, burgers, and popcorn, this theater offers special dishes and drinks themed after its featured film!
Gemma CravenAugust 19, 2012Have the popcorn con queso and get there at least 30 mins before your film starts - pre-film shorts are well curated (and you want to snag a good seat). I may never go back to a regular cinema again
NakishaJanuary 21, 2013Points for the menu! The Queso is SO good (add guacamole), enjoyed w/The Driver (rum & ginger beer). My friend said her kale salad (apples, raisins, crispy cheddar, maple vinaigrette) was delish too.
pablcoNovember 11, 2013you write your order, pin it on your table and voila you get your dinner while watching the movie, the popcorn are really good as well
They serve food and beverages in the theater and it's all really delicious! Not your standard movie theater fare.
- Well curated cinema with at-seat service. Excellent popcorn with real butter, well-made cocktails, good food. Most screenings sell out, so I recommend booking ahead.
Zii HammadAugust 27, 2014Good beer, good food, eating during a movie, and usually a quiet audience make this a favorite. Independent/more interesting films are often shown. It's also just a nifty place.
Princess Abigail BacaniJanuary 23, 2013Movie theater with small tables in between chairs to hold beer and cocktails, hamburgers, fish tacos, and popcorn dressed up with Cotija cheese, lime and cilantro. Discreet service during the movie.
Michael GalpertNovember 24, 2012If u wanna sit with friends during the movie make sure to get there early. You can order food and drinks while u wait for the movie to start on time.
Marie La RueJuly 16, 2017Perfect place for dinner & a movie. Comfortable seating. Great movie selection. This place is a dream!
Albert CovelliMarch 21, 2015The perfect combination of cinema, cocktails and food. The only dessert you'll need is a date. Get your tix well in advance...almost always sells out early.
TeaOctober 9, 2016Cozy and unique. Comfortable seats, friendly staff, very good food. It's more like a restaurant that shows a movie. Amazing salted caramel popcorn.
Samantha VanderhoofAugust 14, 2017A variety of new, unique films, as well as many classics. They've got a great food & drink menu, and fun themed movie events.- the most wonderful indie theater, where you can find all the weird, nostalgic shit. get there early, ppl dedicatedly line up for the best seats without fail.
Concert Ticket AgencySeptember 20, 2012Dinner? Movie? or a show? Stop here first, grab some grub, watch a cool indie flick, then see a show at nearby Music Hall of Williamsburg. Beer! Pork Buns! Popcorn! oh my!- TanjaMay 8, 2016Sitting there with good food and various drinks behind our little tables watching a cool indie movie - even the prefilms were super nice made!
Chris SsentongoJune 19, 2018Comfy seats, unobtrusive service whilst the film is one and reasonably priced. Would deffo recommend.
Get here early. Not only because of limited seats, but the old clips they show before the film are always great and relevant to the film you're about to see.
mikeithdavisMay 18, 2015EVERYTHING IS GREAT! Killer Teasers, Truffle-butter Citric-salt, ambiance. Nitehawk is the best thing to happen to Williamsburg in the 13 years I've lived here!
Incredible service, comfy seats and lots of yummy food and drink options available. They create drinks themed around the movies - so cute.
