Here in Tinseltown, mixing cinema and cocktails seems like a no brainer.
Lights, Camera, Cocktails is a new monthly screening series, presented by ArcLight Cinemas that pairs top bars and bartenders with a favorite movie to create a unique, three-drink menu using a film for inspiration. At each event, guests can enjoy a pre-screening cocktail in ArcLight’s modern-designed café bar. Staff from the evening’s featured bar partner will be on hand to meet and mingle with guests before they head over to the theater to pick up complimentary popcorn and their second movie-inspired cocktail to enjoy while watching the featured film. Following the screening, guests are invited back to the café for a wrap party to discuss the film and savor their third cocktail. The series is curated by beverage event consultants The Dogma Group and sponsored by Grey Goose Vodka.
“We are thrilled to partner with some of the best, most innovative bars in Los Angeles to bring this standout series to life,” said ArcLight Cinemas Food and Beverage Director, Steven Ramskill. “Pairing the ArcLight brand with cocktail culture is a natural fit. ArcLight is all about creating the best movie-going experience possible, through careful thought, design, and attention to detail. The bars we’ve teamed up with for this program are no different when it comes to their craft.”
The first event kicked off with Bar Clacson for a screening of “Goldfinger” followed by “Inception” with Bibo Ergo Sum at ArcLight Culver City.
Tickets for the Lights, Camera, Cocktails events are $40 and includes one movie ticket to the featured film, three craft cocktails served over the course of the evening, complimentary popcorn and light fare to enjoy during a post-movie cocktail. Tickets can be purchased in advance at arclightcinemas.com. Check out the remaining schedule below.
