Nitehawk Cinema

Absolutely love this place. The service is great and it’s really nice to sit in the comfortable chairs with your own table and enjoy a drink while watching a movie. I really loved the Indie short films that play before the main movie.

Consistently delicious and delightful since they opened so many years ago. I’ve found that a lot of movie theatres that also serve real food might start out good, but they get bored, and the food suffers a lot. Not so with Nitehawk. Staff is still friendly and patient. Food seems only to get better. But word of advice: if you order anything that might need ketchup, ask for extra ketchup ahead of time so a server doesn’t have to run up and down stairs just to bring you a tiny cup of the good stuff. But hey, if amount of ketchup is my only complaint, it’s gotta be pretty great, right?

I like this location. It's small and intimate but perfect for date night or even a solo movie. Service was great. Quick and to the point. The food was tasty although I would have liked more vegan options. I prefer this location over the prospect park location even though the later is much larger.

I love this spot! The atmosphere is unique, cozy and classy. I am excited to come back and try different things on the menu. My only feedback is that the popcorn with butter and salt is super lathered in butter and could do with half!

The fire walk with me drink and their citrus popcorn are literally unbeatable. Also the vibes at Nitehawk are the best!

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.

Nitehawk Cinema in Brooklyn is hands down my favorite movie theater. The dine-in service is seamless—delicious food and drinks delivered right to your seat without disrupting the film. The atmosphere is cozy and inviting, and the curated film selections always impress. It's the perfect spot for a unique and enjoyable movie night.

I've been to a lot of movie theaters and this is certainly one of my favorites. The atmosphere is perfect, seating is comfortable, food is incredible and there are so many options. The service is setup in a way that allows you to keep ordering without any interruption to enjoying the movie experience as well. I saw The Soul Eater on the last day of the Brooklyn Horror Film Festival and had such a great time.

Get customer service and food. The chairs do not recline but they are comfortable and have a small table for eating. There's a menu and the waiters come to you to take your order

I've been here quite a few times but most recently I saw a Q&A for the directorial debut of The Assessment. The food options are really good here. I usually opt for a beer or wine instead of a cocktail. I've tried a couple cocktails, and they were just okay. The burger and the chicken sandwich are great, I recommend them both. I also love that they have themed menu items for new movies. They don't have reclining chairs and the seats are pretty small and close to each other. Overall, this is an awesome small theater experience.

I like that they screen a mix of new releases, indie fan faves, and some obscure repertory films. Coming to watch a movie here feels a little less soulless than watching them at the multiplexes with sticky floors and overpriced snacks. No couch recliners here but the seats are totally adequate and you're likely mainly at Nitehawk for the in-theater dining with waitstaff and an actual food and cocktail menu. The food and drinks are actually several levels above what you'd expect from a theater, and they sometimes even create themed drinks for major releases, which is fun. I generally prefer dining and watching tv/films to be separate activities because I don't like mindless eating but as a novelty activity maybe once a year I'll come to Nitehawk or Alamo Drafthouse.

Love this movie theatre experience! A bit pricier but a great date night idea, great locations too! Love the food and drinks everytime! A bit strange that the servers ask you to pay the bill with 20 mins left of the movie but I guess it's so no one runs out.

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 don't normally review movie theatres but I felt I had to review this place. Very easy to find, I got there early enough before my movie to get a decent parking spot about a block away. All the staff was friendly and helpful. What was really cute and fun was that before the movie, (I saw A Complete Unknown) they had old videos and commercials featuring Bob Dylan. The food was pretty good, however, could have used a little more light in there so I could see my food and not make a mess of myself lol. Seats were comfy but not reclining. If I feel like taking a drive, I definitely would consider seeing a movie here again.

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.

A pretty solid theater if you want to go for a movie and dinner. It is a bit distracting tho with the waiters walking by throughout the whole movie. The seats do not recline.

I think people have low expectations or poor taste. The seats are awful. The drinks lousy and the sick smell of greasy cheap food permeates the experience of going to see a movie.

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

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.

Hands down my FAVORITE movie theater in New York City! I have been going here for the last 10 years and I can't recommend it enough. Great food, great cocktails, excellent service... and the BEST selection of movies. I love seeing older movies on the big screen, many in 35mm, with amazing programmers and intros (Desmond and Shay are a couple of my faves). Nitehawk plays such a good selection of old classics (Hitchcock, Kubrick) modern classics (Tarantino, Spike Lee) but also cult classics and forgotten gems (I saw Cool World here, wow!) This is truly the best movie theater to exist.

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

I've been going to Nitehawk for years and the food's usually good but today I ordered an impossible cheeseburger that was so burnt it was inedible. It looks like whoever made it cooked it with the cheese directly on the grill, making it rock hard. I didn't know what to do. It would be ridiculous to write a note on one of those little papers and say "hey can you please remake this?" so I wasted $16 on it.

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

I went to the theater, and I sat down in my seat. The waiter asked for my card. Then when I wrote my order down, they served everyone around me and never took my order. Eventually, I gave up on getting the truffle popcorn. Now, I am being charged $25 for poor service and communication. I didn't sign a receipt since I never ordered any food. Why would you charge someone who doesn't order food or beverage?

Totally enjoyed my experience here . The staff was friendly knowledge and helpful . Food was yummy and the drinks strong . I will be back !

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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!!!

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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!

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!

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 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.

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.
