🌵Andrew Kolikoff🌵August 2, 2015Grungy, hip and fun! If you haven't been you must come. Artsy, foreign and cult films. And, you can take your drink to your seat! Open every night expect only for Christmas. Live music on weekends.
- Lindsay WalkerNovember 15, 2013FilmBar is both an arts theater and bar, showing many local/amateur/independent films, which is huge for the local arts scene. The beer list is fantastic too - great for hardcore movie fans.
- Sabrina KinneyNovember 18, 2013Catch an indie film in a trendy neighborhood in downtown Phoenix! You almost feel like your in a art bar until you get seated in the movie venue! Keep a punch card and look out for their latest deals!
Kenzie PembertonNovember 17, 2013If you are looking for a different kind of night out, definitely try out this place! Always show independent movies in a theater accompanied with bar drinks.

Come for happy hour! However many dollars off beer, $5 off bottles of wine & stay for a cool film you wouldn't see anywhere else. Also, great place for a date or just to hang out with some friends.- Phoenix New TimesJanuary 9, 20132012 Best of Phoenix Winner: Best Independent Movie Theater!

StephenFebruary 16, 2013This place is a great place to bring a date (granted you are 21.) Catch a documentary and try a few of their craft beers after!
Sara RichterApril 10, 2011Best new spot downtown! See indie films shown no where else in the Valley and hang out at their bar! Best combo - open til 2 AM most nights but check website for movie times
AJ VicensFebruary 15, 2013Happy hour, weekdays 5-7. Live jazz Friday at 9:30. Craft beers, mostly local. Popcorn is bomb too.
Eddie SmithDecember 2, 2012Cool lounge. Good music. If you are into independent film... Then you should really check this place out.
Jon HernandezJune 28, 2015Neat place that shows indie movies and has decent alcohol selection. Can't say I recommend the popcorn though, it's kind of terrible.
Sunny DavisAugust 3, 2013One of the funnest places to bring people who're into cult films. Their bathrooms are interesting to be in, I like them.
SpikeJanuary 31, 2013Hipster's paradise. Choose from their wide selection of local beers then go watch an independent flick.
Wally StraughnAugust 31, 2012What fun! Great movie and great recommendation for dinner. You should visit FilmBar.
Ben McdowellAugust 17, 2011Be sure to get a punch card if you see a movie. When you see four, the fifth is free!
Nicki EscuderoSeptember 13, 2012All the movies here are thought-provoking! You won't leave disappointed!
Get their 30 minutes early and chat up the diehard indie film patrons. Great convos
Josh SchultzDecember 23, 2012Well there's no shortage of guys wearing skinny jeans, that's for sure.
Feels like a movie version of Morocco. 'cept the beer part.
