Nitehawk Cinema is a three-level Cinema Cafe located on the corner of Prospect Park West and 14th Street, near Windsor Terrace, Park Slope, and South Slope. The theater offers a cozy, intimate atmosphere with comfortable seating and small tables for food and drinks, making it a special place to watch movies. The venue features a cozy bar lounge area with a “super Brooklyn vibe,” high ceilings, and movie screens playing in the background, creating a great setting for pre-movie gatherings or casual hangouts. The seating has been upgraded with more comfortable “gamer-style” chairs, allowing guests to enjoy their food and drinks easily.
The menu at Nitehawk Cinema includes a variety of options, such as the popular truffle butter popcorn, Cornflakes Encrusted Chicken Tenders, and movie-themed items like the “Elphaba's Elixir” cocktail. Customers can enjoy good food and drinks during the movie, with some reviews noting that the food is great and the snacks are better than typical theater options. The service is usually friendly and efficient, although a few reviews mentioned that it can sometimes be a little slow. Items like napkins, straws, and water are not automatically provided, so customers may need to request them.
The theater offers a fun preshow with shorts instead of ads, adding to its charm. The programming is diverse, featuring new releases, indie films, cult classics, and special events with Q&A sessions. The overall experience is highly positive, with a vibrant atmosphere that makes it a beloved spot for film lovers in Brooklyn. Despite minor issues like service speed, Nitehawk Cinema remains a popular destination for those seeking a unique, comfortable, and enjoyable movie night with great food and a lively ambiance.
