"Recently reopened after emerging from Chapter 11, this new six-screen theater next to Wrigley Field combines full meals with moviegoing and a heavy dose of nostalgia. Servers bring burgers, wings, chicken tenders, gourmet popcorn, salads and pizzas (with cauliflower crust options) — plus boozy milkshakes — directly to patrons’ seats. Its Video Vortex Bar debuts a Chicago-first cocktail menu of six movie- and AV-themed drinks, including a Save Ferris made with malört, an HDMI-themed drink, a Breakfast Club Cocktail and a Danger Zone along with a 32-tap beer lineup. The space features shelves of about 200 curated VHS titles (from merchants such as Bric-A-Brac Records and Strange Tapes Zine), DVDs and more than 11,000 disc titles available to rent for free, and the venue is known for special screenings and attracting stars as part of the ongoing Wrigleyville entertainment makeover." - Ashok Selvam
