Immerse yourself in an extraordinary and memorable experience at the Rooftop Cinema Club, where it's their mission to transform nights at the movies into cinematic events like no other. Bring your friends and loved ones, and they'll bring you city skylines, sunsets, starlit evenings, tasty drinks, delicious food, and great movies on the big screen. Doors open early before the screening so you can enjoy all the elements of our experience during the most beautiful times, golden hour, sunset, and dusk. The movie begins after the sun goes down, just as the stars are coming out and the city lights are starting to twinkle. Outdoor movies have never looked so great.
