What an experience at a true hidden gem!
I'm a movie lover and the full experience is what's important to me. I mean, I want allll the trappings when I sit down and take in a film and The Springs Cinema & Taphouse offers just that. After a dinner date, my boyfriend suggested a movie and it turned out that they were the only theater showing it, so off we went!
The Taphouse is in a pretty tucked away in a plaza that also houses a big gym, but other than that, they are the main focus! I was taken aback by the amazing patio seating and signage, it looked like fun was right behind that shiny entrance. And I came to learn that there was!
Before we arrived, of course, I did my Yelp research and the name obviously let me know what I should expect. some brews. But what we got was a full bar and a wonderful first impression from the beautiful interior decor! I mean, the lighting fixtures were gorgeous! It looked like a restaurant when you turned one way, turn the other way and you're getting movie vibes, turn the other way and you're at a bar - we love a place with multiple vibes! I also liked that they had a step & repeat/photo booth background setup - great marketing! Be sure to take a pic and tag them!
We were running late so I quickly ordered some popcorn and thought I could order my beer in the same spot, but was told I had to go over to the bar a few steps away. Eh, no biggie, but it'd be cool if you could make 1 purchase but if I hadn't stepped over to the bar, I wouldn't have been able to truly take in all of the brews and drinks available. I went with one of their many drafts available, but there was also a fridge full of wines and beers, a full liquor bar, and even frozen premade drinks like daiquiris!
The theater was was super comfy as well, I loved the reclining chairs and adjustable chairs! There seemed to be a heating option available but I didn't feel any heat? :( But I'm definitely going to try it again because c'mon, beer, popcorn, movie, reclining, HEATED seat? I'd never leave.
So worth the drive from my side of town, I'm trying a full meal next time and hanging out before the movie!
