Nitehawk Cinema

This spot is cute way to watch a film local in your neighborhood with good bites and strong drinks

I recently visited this movie theatre and had a mixed experience. Firstly, getting to Cinema 2 required taking three flights of stairs--one to enter and two more to descend. I didn't see any elevators, so those with mobility issues should double-check accessibility options with the theatre.

Upon entering, the server requested our tickets via email, which we provided, but they did not introduce themselves. While they were nice, it would have been better to know their name.

I immediately asked for the Wi-Fi password due to having no signal downstairs, nor did my partner. Unfortunately, the waiter informed us that the Wi-Fi is reserved for staff, leaving customers without signal for the duration of the movie. This is a significant drawback, especially if you need to stay connected for emergencies or to check on your home.

The ordering process involved writing our choices on a piece of paper for the waitstaff to pick up. As an IPIC movie theatre regular, I found this less convenient compared to IPIC's comfortable seating and call button service.

When I ordered a fish filet sandwich and requested tartar sauce, what I received didn't taste like traditional tartar sauce. Additionally, the server mistakenly delivered someone else's meal to our table, which was uncomfortable. I had to write another note to correct the error, and the other table declined the food since it had been placed on our table, even though we didn't touch it.

Overall, while the theatre is cute, I prefer the more upscale and user-friendly experience at IPIC. I wouldn't return to this location.

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 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.

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

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!

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.

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.
