About

Set on one of the best streets in Washington, DC, this neighborhood gem has the perfect mix of an impressive film selection and delicious cocktails. Affordable tickets to see a big variety of movies screened almost daily make this spot worth visiting. Independently run, the owner David Cabrera shows films he likes that range in topic, format, and style.

The place is decorated with some nods to movies such as the zebra wallpaper behind the bar (Margot Tenenbaum from “The Royal Tenenbaums”), geometric carpeting in the hallway (“The Shining”), and flamingo wallpaper in the bathroom (Pink Flamingos”).
