To accompany your beverage of choice, there is non-GMO popcorn, meticulously popped in coconut oil, that is enhanced with real butter and your own choice of flavors at the popcorn spice bar. But the real showstopper for those who enjoy a touch of high class with their cinema experience: You get to choose between their rocking leather seats with convenient cupholders or their spacious couches that comfortably seat 12. In total, there are 100 seats of comfort available, including ADA seating, making the feeling of luxury available to everyone while enjoying the magic of the big screen.
