Nitehawk Cinema

Fun place! The service is great and its an elevated experience compared to your average theater. Its worth the small up charge for tickets. The theaters are small but the movie experience feels the same. The reason for only 4 stars is the food is pricey and not the quality I would expect.

We are so lucky to have movie theaters that show these great movies. This theater is very comfortable. The seats were very comfortable. They have a really well-organized bar and food delivery system that allows you to order all the way through the movie.

There is only one restroom at second floor. The waiting line makes me giving up. Waiters were walking to send meals and drinks during all movie playing time. ALL THE TIME!! Thse behaviour disturbed audience VERY, VERY MUCH! I saw their shadows covered the flim uncountable times. I understand customers have freedom to order meals. However, desk-cleaning jobs might do after the film ending. Why do they persist in talking empty dishes and cups away when movies were still playing?! Very bad experience, very disappointed.

Nitehawk Cinema is a gem! This place is on to something with their mix of vintage and modern movie experience. The movie rooms are small and cozy, with non-stop seat service.

Years ago, this was a fantastic theater. I’d rated it with a happy five stars too. I bought their cookbook, supported them for years, and was a big fan. The last handful of times it has been so loud in the theater between patrons, servers, and talking the sound is hard to hear for me and I’ve returned to seeing movies I care about somewhere else. A massive disappointment for me. The Alamo Drafthouse is still great! This place shows when the negatives grow to outweigh the positive aspects of a dinning-theater type place for me.

Nitehawk is hands down the best cinema in NYC. The popcorn is to die for and everything is just stellar from the menu to the pre-screening ads & obscure footage that are very enjoyable if you get there a few minutes early. Even in the tiny cinema you can see okay if you only get to booking tix when the front row is available. I love you, Nitehawk and hope to find something similar in Seattle. Moving from Brooklyn recently, this theater is one of the staples I miss the most.

I honestly don’t think this place gets enough credit for its burger. Yes, the movie-watching experience is great, the drinks are good, and the rest of the menu leaves nothing to be desired — but the double smashburger at Nitehawk Williamsburg is perhaps the best burger in Brooklyn. Seriously, go there to watch a movie maybe, but also just to eat a burger.

Nitehawk is so awesome dude. The devil’s in the details, and the food all the way down to the previews is s tier I swear. Nitehawk just GETS IT, and she IS that girl.

Local cinema similar to Alamo drafthouse with limited screenings. There's a bar and kitchen available for ordering before/during screenings. Also events hosted here often. The seats in theater 2(located in the basement) are upgraded. Reminder this cinema is petite. Despite it being a premium cinema, can be a but sparse for tickets. Worth it since it's more controlled and comfortable. There's multiple restrooms upper and lower levels. You have to choose seats for dining services and present tickets. Yet, theater 2 has glitchy service and no WiFi since its basement level. Best to screen shot email confirmation. I like how my group server took our food order after the movie started. They always mention to write orders on note after reviewing the menu under table. There's vegan options available. I ordered the coconut oil popcorn, which was good, but I think it was real butter or couldn't tell. You must have a card to put on file before ordering. Please don't chat at the theater, it mentions every time before screening. The staff will act accordingly. People attend dine in theaters for elevated controlled experience. Let's keep it that way. Definitely give this theater a try if you're looking for a quaint movie night.

I recently visited this movie theatre and had a mixed experience. Firstly, getting to Cinema 2 required taking three flights of stairs--one to enter and two more to descend. I didn't see any elevators, so those with mobility issues should double-check accessibility options with the theatre. Upon entering, the server requested our tickets via email, which we provided, but they did not introduce themselves. While they were nice, it would have been better to know their name. I immediately asked for the Wi-Fi password due to having no signal downstairs, nor did my partner. Unfortunately, the waiter informed us that the Wi-Fi is reserved for staff, leaving customers without signal for the duration of the movie. This is a significant drawback, especially if you need to stay connected for emergencies or to check on your home. The ordering process involved writing our choices on a piece of paper for the waitstaff to pick up. As an IPIC movie theatre regular, I found this less convenient compared to IPIC's comfortable seating and call button service. When I ordered a fish filet sandwich and requested tartar sauce, what I received didn't taste like traditional tartar sauce. Additionally, the server mistakenly delivered someone else's meal to our table, which was uncomfortable. I had to write another note to correct the error, and the other table declined the food since it had been placed on our table, even though we didn't touch it. Overall, while the theatre is cute, I prefer the more upscale and user-friendly experience at IPIC. I wouldn't return to this location.

Rarely are there ever any real concerning issues with this nitehawk but y'all come on. Lately foods not above lukewarm and is overall lacking. If you run out of an ingredient then let the customer know don't just wing it then pretend that's how it's suppose to be. But most of all don't rush to serve barely lukewarm food (and please stop serving bone dry grilled chicken). Huge no. I love this theater for the small rooms, usually delicious food, and drinks (see yummy cocktail pic:). I always write a note and leave them on the items I absolutely loved or can't consume which normally it gets addressed properly. This time around I was made to believe a lettuce wrap, which only had the beef and kimchi, was part of my cold meal (damn it if I didn't get gaslit because I just dropped the issue since its never ok to talk during a movie). However no where was it listed in the menus, online or the physical one, that the flour tortilla would be substituted with a lettuce wrap and items would be omitted. Overall still the best dine in theater in the state, so far, and 100% better than all AMC/Regal.

I love this place. One of my favorite experiences here was going to a brunch screening of Moonstruck with a friend.

The Ohio 9/New York 6 bartender upstairs is so mean and annoying hahaha. Get over yourself.

Visited on Saturday night with reservation. The reservation can be done online. This one is located close to l train, bedford Ave stop ~10 min walking distance. Plenty of street parking is available too. This movie theater is one of the most hipster theater I have been. Very retro-feel interior and exterior design. Loved their atmosphere with mixed modern and retro designs. There wasn't any person for direction, but it's pretty easy to navigate yourself. Make sure to arrive a bit earlier to find the room. The phone signal gets cut off on theater room 2. Be sure to screenshot your ticket. When you sit down, the server will come to check your ticket and take order. Ordering is very simple. There are paper and pencil. You just need to write down what you want. Food quality is very impressive. Semi fine dining experience. It is pricey as compared to other dining movies, but I think it is worth that price. I was very happy with the food.

Me and my boyfriend enjoy going to Nitehawk for date nights and always have a great time. Both the Williamsburg and Prospect Park locations are fantastic, prospect park has a larger theater and offers more movie selection, whereas the Williamsburg location is smaller and more intimate. They have a large drink/food selection and a very fun and easy way of ordering, you just write down your order on the paper provided for you and prop it up until a server grabs it for you. The previews before the movie are always fun and silly, they have some homemade trailers and a hilarious informative short. I also really enjoy the prospect park location, because it's right near the park and we have the opportunity to walk around and relax if we are early to a movie.

This theater is SO SHITTY. I literally went to the theater and someone was in my seat. Come to find out my ticket was INCORRECTLY CREDITED by a guy that doesn't care about his job named Eduardo. Given that the error was on the theater and they REFUNDED MY TICKET WHEN I DID NOT ASK FOR A REFUND OF THAT TICKET-- they then refused to give me a full refund to the original form of payment. Thanks Eduardo for NOT DOING YOUR JOB PROPERLY AND WITH DETAIL and for wasting my time. I also literally went to the theater in 20 degree weather only for the manager on top of it to simply NOT CARE. He said that he can't issue refunds to the original form of payment EVEN THOUGH IT WAS the cinemas FAULT- shitty place, shitty service, shitty management. I also ended up not even seeing the movie because someone booked the seat after my ticket was incorrectly refunded. Never coming back here Also manager never issued a credit or refund of my ticket after i walked out ......... unreal man

A good date place - movie was strange ("Cuckoo") but the ambiance in the theater is good - two connected seats with a table so couples can sit and eat a burger and drink a beer together is a great idea.

Full disclosure: I'm a sucker for arthouse theaters. Nitehawk Cinema was right up my alley. Nitehawk is a neat dine-in theater with two locations: Prospect Park and Williamsburg. I stumbled upon the Williamsburg location and had SUCH a great experience. Nitehawk's menu features fresh, local ingredients inspired by the movies they're showing. I kept it classic with a Root Beer Float, Popcorn with salt and butter, and Queso. Everything we ordered was excellent and the service was quick and efficient. Overall Nitehawk is an incredible spot to see a movie and a great way to kill some time in Williamsburg!

This spot is cute way to watch a film local in your neighborhood with good bites and strong drinks

This cinema has interesting original programming and an interesting way of integrating food at fairly reasonable prices served at your seat. HOWEVER, theater 1 has a row of seats, called row 16 which are in fact at the front of the theater. They are so close to the screen that you have to look straight up for what is at best a distorted nearly anamorphic view. If the only available seats are in row sixteen (a number like 1601, 1602, etc) I wd advise looking for another screening or another venue. I don't think you will be happy unless you are pretty high or enjoy this kind of optical distortion and physical distress. There was clearly some design error in building or designing this theater and rather than eliminate this row the owners chose to create a row of seats which are basically torture devices. It gives one pause about what other errors or measures of economy they made in creating this venue.

I LOVE the Nitehawk! It's the ONLY place I go to see movies. This weekend the did a screening of my favorite movie Escape From New York! I had a blast watching. The staff and popcorn were great! I'm going again two weeks for a screening of Escape From L.A. Thanks for a great time Nitehawk!

Excellent movie selection. Great seating. They are very comfortable and the service is great and efficient. The menu is good too. The popcorn is excellent

Went to see poor things on Friday night at 6pm. Ordered 1 soda and I check my bank statement this morning and got charged 25$, when the receipt was ~5$. Normally love this theater but beware of servers faking tip amounts because what the hell is this?

Judging by the screen quality and sound, yes, the Dolby theatre on 68th and Broadway is way better, but I am rooting for this place. I saw a re-issue of Mullholand Drive today and the employees were all friendly, I played pool for free for a while upstairs before my movie started. They have hundreds of old VHS tapes on display as if you were in Blockbuster in the 90's again. They have cool paintings on display for sale in the upper level ranging from maybe $300 to $1400. It is weird in a way that there are menus on your table in the theatre, so there is vaguely pressure to order and the waitress checks your ticket and asks if you want to order food or drinks. Very cool but unlike what I have seen. Great place to bring a date, as opposed to an AMC which are all big screens, tons of crowds and activity, etc.

This place is too cool. Straight upstairs like your buddy's apartment you go esp if you'd been there before and know which theater number. Seats were comfy with a good view. Best part? Their food was excellent esp for movie theater food! Tots on fire. Burger petite but packing a punch. Their cuminy sweet pepper Brussels were legit a 3 $$$ restaurant level side. The drink selection was thoughtful and popcorn app so filling. Quiet diligence on service. Such an easy fun date spot.

Probably NYC best kept secret when it comes to movie theaters. Great food and fun film events. Recommend for friends and dates. The theater has a nice indie vibe. One of my choices when I plan on seeing a movie. I often check out to see what special screenings they have.

It took us 30 minutes into the movie to get two glasses of wine and 45 minutes into the movie to get a bowl of peach rings and a rock hard chocolate. I'd prefer to visit a theatre where I can purchase my candy & drinks beforehand to enjoy for the entirety of the movie.

Still going strong after all these years, Nitehawk is one of Williamsburg's most precious spots. Every movie theater who can now serve alcohol owes NH a huge thanks. They have first run features, but make sure you catch a brunch screening of an older film, or a midnight movie, it's so well curated, it's always so fun. The pre-show films continue to be artsy and hilarious. Their cocktails (especially the old-fashioned, and the Fire Walk) are great, and the food (and popcorn) are great too. I also think their bar downstairs, Lo-Res, is a nice date spot, or a great place to just meet a friend, inside or out. Follow them on IG, they have a great account, and are very good about keeping their patrons updated on their ever-changing programming with their fun and clever (and seasonal) themes. Was terrified they wouldn't make it through the pandemic, so nice to see they're back better than ever.

As a movie, cocktail, and food lover, I loved this spot. I showed up early to snag a drink before and was excited about the additional cool drinks on the menu, but was disappointed when those were not offered within the theater as well, so I was unable to try additional, fancier options, unless outside of the theater in the actual bar before/after the movie. Other than that, the food was great, all of the options I'd want for a movie night at home, just elevated and the service was lovely. If I lived in the area, this would be a frequented spot for me.

I think I've found my new top choice for movie theaters in NYC. I'm often afraid of smaller theaters because many of them are old and run down without great theaters, but Nitehawk was quite the opposite. The staff were friendly and great at their job. I love the way that they craft special cocktails and food items for the movies. The verse jump drink I ordered tasted great and really seemed to fit the movie well. Sadly the other drink I wanted wasn't available this evening. Additionally the theater itself had great viewing angles from mostly all the seats. I definitely recommend giving this place a try.

For this dine in cinema, it may be more about the food than the movie! Full bar menu, small plates, salads, entrees and deserts. Major quality food as opposed to the larger chain dine in's Veggie samosas were better than most Indian restaurants. Totally no grease and amazing cucumber yogurt dipping sauce. Deviled eggs were delicious esp with the touch of caviar on top. The only thing I wanted which they didn't have was decaf coffee. Oh well! I will return Also an amazing variety of popcorn if you just want to munch ----and there's alcohol.

Nitehawk Cinema is one of the few dine-in theaters in New York City. You buy your tickets from the kiosks next to the bar. The display case filled with old films and the style of the bar evoke an 80s vibe that's maintained once you sit down. Once you sit down inside a theater, a waiter approaches you and explains how the ordering works. There's a small table between every 2 seats with sheets of paper and pencils. You write down your order and place it into the slot on the table. My friend and I didn't order any food, but watching the movie here was still a good experience. The tickets are only $13 for most of the movies. I didn't find the waiters moving through the aisles too disruptive, and the seats were clean and comfortable.

One of the best cinema I have ever been!! Their auditoriums are very small but extremely cozy. There is a table assigned to every two seats. Anytime during the movie you can order drinks or food!! Their food and drinks are delicious! We tried the flatbread and the risotto balls. Both were good but the flatbread was something else, try it!!!

Rob SUPER AMAZING bartender funny charming, and as far as customer services goes he went beyond. Prior to the screening he was made an amazing rum and coke with both light and dark rum.YUM! Then I went to view a Quiet Place 2. Knowing they wanted to limit verbal orders I printed out my VERY specific order for meal and drinks. My server (name unknown) tried to overcharge me when I asked for salad with my burger she brought me fries with my burger $16 and charged me $12 for a nitehawk salad. Yes the burger was ridiculously delicious (perfect medium well compliments to the chef) but I never touched the fries i did not want. When I pointed it out to blond french braid woman she shrugged "oh well' and charged me for both anyway. When I went downstairs to use the bathroom Rob saw my face and could tell I was annoyed. He asked me what was wrong and when I explained he excuse himself and returned to say he had the salad charge taken off. Love you Rob! I'll be back to overtip soon.

Saw three movies here this summer. There's so much to love! Staff are super nice. Food is good--waffle-fried tenders are my go-to order right now. And the best part of all? The audience is respectful. I haven't experienced that anywhere else (no, not even Alamo). No cell phones or side convos. It's just so damn refreshing.

Went to this place last night, it was such a cool experience! They lost a star because they forgot my tatertots and i had to ask for them. Everything from the drinks (small for the prices-ginger lime slurped, hibiscus lime soda, & reanimator) to the mushroom empanadas was SO GOOD! It was a good time, I enjoyed the comfort of the spacious seating, the cleanliness, and the overall quality of the cinema. I'd go back for sure.

The Nitehawk is a fun place to go. They usually have great indie movies. While you watch a movie, they serve food and drinks. The food is pretty good and they have a nice assortment of beer. It is a little pricy but in the end it is a lot of fun.

One of my new favorite dine- in movie theaters . When you walk in there's a nice bar downstairs for you to get a drink before the movie or just drink and dash without a movie . They get nice and packed on the weekends . Once you head upstairs incase you decided downstairs was too much there's another bar with a cute 50s vibe for your viewing and hanging pleasure . They definitely don't skimp on the alcohol which I appreciate. I'd recommend getting there early before show time to pick a good seat . Seats are comfy and the middle arm rest goes up if you like to cuddle :) food is impeccable. I like that they tailor the menus to the movies nice touch . We had the tots which had the perfect crunch to soft ratio and the queso which is HANDS DOWN THE BEST I've ever had . You sincerely can't go wrong coming here .

I can't lie -- I love Nitehawk. It lives up to the hype for sure. I don't often enjoy watching movies -- so Nitehawk kind of combines enough things I like to make it all enjoyable. 1. Old movies 2. Booze 3. Good food 4. Comfy seats. The ticket prices aren't gauged tho they could be. Around 14-15 dollars a pop with cocktails being an average of 12/14 bucks. The cocktails aren't something to write home about (usually) I would suggest you just bring your own booze. The cinema is well maintained, host interesting events, and have pretty helpful staff. Their food is good! Popcorn is fabolous! If you're a film purist I would suggest the 3pm shows or the midnight shows of something extremely obscure. It's an experience I really enjoy and definitely would hop on the chance to go anytime something I'm interested is on.

Nitehawk is one of my favorite movie theaters. They get so creative with the intros to each movie, the special movie nights they host, and the food menu is really good quality (high marks for their veggie burger (4.5/5)!). It's just a fun place to be around! Note that movies tend to sell out during peak times, so buy tickets early. I believe they just started doing assigned seating so that might alleviate the need to get there 30+ min before the showing.

Went here Thursday afternoon and lucked out with a virtually empty theater so it felt like we rented out the place LOL. Rebecca at the bar was A-MA-ZING and so was Jacques. Perfect service and cannot wait to go back.

Excellent theater with nice reclining chairs. I love that the tables move in and out so you can comfortably sit in the seat and then bring the table close to you. Very clean.

This place is located right in the center of all the trendy bars and clothing shops. The service was great and they bring the drinks and food to you so quickly with no interruption! It was great. The chairs was surprisingly comfortable even though they didn't recline. The theater had a lot of stairs to and from different theaters so if you have bad knees, you'll want to be sure they can accommodate you or go to bathroom before you go to your seat. I was glad my disabled mom decided to not join us. Don't forget to take a walk to the bay 2 blocks away at sunset if you're watching one of the night showings. It's beautiful on a summer night!

Fun! Great little retro theater that shows first run and old movies. Best part are the old movie and news clips they play before your movie starts. Also awesome music videos. They have table service with a full bar and menu. A really good time. One of the best examples of fabulous Williamsburg night life. A must see.

Call me old-fashioned, but going to the movies should be a RELAXING experience. A fun experience. Came here last night and given the rudest attitude by the server/seater because we didn't show up more than 20 min early to the movie. After being glared at up and down like we were second-class citizens, we were told we couldn't sit together because they can't ask people to move. Got it. We should have been here 45 minutes early, but life happens, and I'm sure another couple (or one person from said couple) wouldn't mind moving over ONE SEAT so that other paying patrons could be granted what they also paid for. Since I thought that was inconsiderate and dismissive of our waiter/server person, we asked for a credit. We wanted to see the movie we paid for on this Friday night but if we couldn't, another Friday night would have to do. We're not unreasonable people. We got it. At this point we are told that credit vouchers are only redeemable Monday through Friday. Interesting... So let's get this straight. We showed up BEFORE the movie started, the person working there couldn't be bothered to ask one man to move his tush one seat over, AND you didn't fulfill on your end of the offer-a FRIDAY night movie... and you think I'm not gonna be annoyed as a paying customer? If I came in for a Friday night movie, at least give me a voucher for that. A movie on a FRIDAY night. It's really not that difficult. If you want to come for a movie here, clear your entire day's schedule beforehand to make sure you can be seated according to the discretion of whoever is working that evening. Do your best to get on that person's good side or else you'll be stared at up and down. And get ready to hear about their fine print Terms and Conditions that don't make any sense. But otherwise, enjoy your movie!

Feels so normal to be in a cinema after 16 months!! Great location, only $15 / ticket, food and drinks are served to you at the table and amazing decor! Try to come early and enjoy the bar before your movie

Best programming and the best popcorn. You can't go wrong with a visit to Nitehawk! Their brunch and midnight screenings are always a treat.

Best date spot in Williamsburg, with my favorite cocktail, the Fire Walk With Me. Take me there, and I'll probably make out with you after.

Came here for a Doc screening. Bar on street-level is great. Good bar food too. The movie theater staff are friendly and helpful. Love their whole concept of movie and dinner. Great service. Highly recommend it.

This place is really, really cool - the sort of combo dinner/drinks/movie spot has become a little more commonplace in NYC now but Nitehawk was one of the first to do it, opening in 2011. There are only 4 (I believe) theaters within the cinema so the selection of movies is a little limited, but they're always curated well. Most recently I went to go see the Mr. Rogers documentary after finding that it wasn't showing at most of the theaters around me in Manhattan. Plus, they offer some series or special events (old movies, certain themes, etc). The pre-movie reel always has a cool vintage feel and is customized based on the movie you're going to see. At $12, tickets are a steal for the city. Unfortunately, there is no option to reserve seats ahead of time (to clarify, you can reserve a ticket, just not pick a specific seat), which means that you're forced to show up 30 or so minutes ahead of time for popular showings if you're picky about your view. However, it's not a bad opportunity to kill some time/order drinks/chat. Food is pretty good and reasonable prices for the city. It's by no means the movie theater gouging you might see elsewhere. The beer selection is okay and runs from around $6-$8 depending on what you get. You can also get a $5 draft or well mixed drink with your ticket stub at the bar downstairs. The theater itself is a little run-down/dinky, but I actually think that it enhances the experience. If you're looking for a similar but slightly more commercial enterprise, I'd recommend the Alamo Drafthouse. All in all, would ideally have a larger selection of movies running and the ability to choose seats ahead of time, but a great spot nonetheless. Will absolutely return.

I love the concept of the Nitehawk! Grabbing food and drinks while sitting and watching your new favorite movie on a chilly Sunday afternoon. Well I finally made it. And I think it was like prom. You have this idea in your head that it's going to be the night you will never forget!! And instead your date has to straighten his Mohawk and you and your friend are sharing him for prom pics. I arrived a little late to the theater. I had high hopes for Neon Demon but in a reality I knew it might be more aesthetic and the content needs work. The person that was two people ahead of me was taking forever. The guy ahead of me was super nice and suggested I give the "Lobster" movie a whirl. I think my sweat started beading and the guy working there pointed out the ticket machines. By this time I was committed. I see now why there's a bar right next to the ticket counter. I couldn't have used a cold one to calm my nerves. Finally made it to the front and got my ticket. The theater was down some hall and down the stairs. A little maze of a theater. I got in and the theater was dark...real dark ..and it was packed for a Sunday afternoon. I assume the heat made people want to escape to the theater. The seats are set up for two people. It's best to come here as a couple or with a friend. I would not recommend coming here solo. It was slightly awkward eating so close to some stranger chowing down on popcorn. I will say that the people working here must eat tons of carrots because I have no idea how they can see where people are sitting or if people have an order. They do notice and now I'm convinced that this is where X-Men get jobs to use their night vision. My heirloom tomato and burrata crostini was delicious! I wanna return with friends and get a bucket of fancy popcorn or a date night. I liked the bar upstairs and would come just to hang out and I'd be even cooler if they played a movie in there.

Nitehawk is something every person whose a native or visiting New York MUST experience. This is not your average cliché movie theatre experience. Nitehawk gives you the experience of getting in a time machine and stepping back into the 60's. A theater that plays indie films and Old School Classics and new releases ?! A theater that features a Full Bar and separate Bar Lounge?! A theatre that plays Drake and has a dope playlist so you can rock out while you wait for your theater's seating to open up?! A Full Dining Menu and Wait Staff??! That's Nitehawk. Nestled in WillyB home of the hipsters is Nitehawk. A vintage style old school theater. I really loved the flair of this theater and what the owners accomplished here. If you've never been to Williamsburg you'll have an introduction to its culture at Nitehawk. The theater is decorated with lots of old vhs covers and posters of old actors and actresses. The theaters and service bar were upstairs on the top floor. We picked up our tickets we ordered online from the kiosk and headed over to the bar. I had a Ginger Whiskey which was o.k. We got in line for seating to open up. I STRONGLY advise you arrive at least 45 minutes before your showtime. You will be forced to sit in the nosebleed section if you choose otherwise. You have been warned. This is not assigned seating. This is 1st finders keepers. Each theater is very small. Old fashioned viewing rooms and about 30-40 seats. I came to see Quentin Tarantino ' s The Hateful 8 with my homie. I had been planning to see it with him for sometime and premiere night at Nitehawk presented the perfect opportunity. I loved how they paid homage to Tarantino by showcasing a tribute to all his films prior to the previews. My ONLY issue with this theater is the painfully uncomfortable seats. The seats are aircraft small and if you are a curvy woman with hips or thighs OR a BADUNKADUNK, this is not the place for you! If you are packing a few pounds, you will NOT, I repeat honestly, YOU WILL NOT FIT IN THE SEAT. I have warned you. Seats are so close, you may knock over the person next to you ' s cocktail or plate of food when you get up. I don't know how I survived sitting in those upright coach aircraft seats for 3 Hours worth of Tarantino. The MENU: Nitehawk has a little something for everyone. I recommend the following staple items: *QUESO and Tortilla chips. Real mexican Queso, Velveeta style with fresh jalapeños, Cilantro and Guacamole. This was like...a Fiesta in my mouth. You have the option to add black beans as well. The chips were crisp and fresh. I only wish they were served warmed. *The Seasonal Popcorn was delicious! Maple Honey Butter Cinnamon Toast Crunch. This was addicting! !! I don't even like popcorn but couldn't stop munching!! When I saw this on the menu, I had to have it! It was soooo good. Tasted like buttery cinnamon toast crunch on popcorn. My homie ordered a spiked Apple Cider with whiskey. Very delicious on a cold winter night. Nitehawk is definitely a abstract idea for a 1st Date and I'm definitely coming back for a movie & brunch.

Modern dine in theatre. The space is clean, the menu has nice options, the food is very good and the servers are friendly, and very effective at not being a distraction while serving. I love that they serve popcorn in bowls and beverages in glassware. The seats are comfortable though not cushy and are a tight fit and the ladies restroom stalls are super narrow with the exception of the accessible one.

I truly enjoy the experience of going to the movies here in the larger theater. It's nice to have a meal while you watch a movie. The smaller theater is ok, but not as good because the screen is so small. The wait staff are usually fantastic. Before the movie is played, they have these VHS videos which I always enjoy! The movie selections are OK - very mainstream overall which I'm sure they have to do to keep selling tickets. I wish they had a selection like Metrograph in the city, but what can you do. I took off a star because the food is not that great. I like the chicken burger and usually get that with tater tots. The burger is usually very dry. If you get French fries, they are typically over cooked & over greased. I've had the duck tacos which are not too offensive. And I've tried a bunch of the desserts, all of them super gross. Other than that, it's a good experience.

I don't know why every theatre doesn't take notes from Nitehawk. Everything about this place is wonderful. Parking was a breeze (we had a 7:15 show on a Saturday). We bought our tickets in advance so when we got to the theatre the machines were right in the lobby to pick them up. Before getting in line we grabbed a drink at the upstairs lobby bar. Hubby had a beer and I had a specialty drink on tap (made with Pimm's which made me incredibly happy because not many places serve it let alone make specialty drinks with it) and it was $20 for both. Typical Williamsburg prices. Once inside there's really no bad seat in the theatre. It was super clean and well-lit just enough to be able to read your menu and see your food. We ordered more drinks (obvi.), the tots with queso, buffalo chicken flatbread and the Muffuletta sandwich. All of the food was delicious and hot when it came out. I've heard from other people that the menu changes seasonally. I really loved the whole experience at Nitehawk and will definitely be back.

Love love love this movie theater :). My boyfriend and I came here to watch the best rom com movie ever--When Harry Met Sally. The brunch menu was awesome and came with a free drink (one coffee for me, one Bloody Mary for the bf). REMEMBER TO HOLD ON TO YOUR TICKET ONCE THEY PRINT IT OUT! They print a ticket once you show them your reservation and I forgot I slipped it into my bag and then my bf had to run around asking for them to print another one but their system doesn't allow them to print more than one copy. So, just hold on to it.

I went to nite hawk cinema for the first time last night. I wish I had listened to the reviewer who suggested arriving about 45 minutes early for seat selection. We arrived about 20 minutes early found seats in the back (the only ones available) only to be told about 5 minutes before the film that someone had been sitting there but had gone to the bathroom (for 15 minutes?) it would have been nice to have left something behind to signal she had been sitting there or asked someone to save her seat.She was by herself and wasn't open to sitting at the empty single seat just a few seats down so we could have the two seats side by side. She had every right to say no but it did put a slight damper on the evening. Needless to say GET THERE EARLY. Our only option was to sit in the very first row where the AC is directly blasted onto your face and throat. This is very much a couples theater with the set up of the table for eating in between two chairs. The food was very tasty and the servers weren't distracting as they dropped off the food or picked up the order. If you want water please bring a water bottle. I guess they don't serve tap water ( I kept asking on the note and received nothing) and I didn't want to pay $6 for a cup or bottle. The risotto balls were very delicious, I wish more came in an order. All and all it's a good theater, huge screen, good food options, good date option.
