    top floor: wine + movie + uber comfy seats. Splurge for it!

    preorder your seats so you don't have to wait in the theater. and if it's not crowded, leave a space so four of you aren't clumped together in an empty theater.

    Sneak booze into the theater if you're on the right floor, the bar is too expensive and the wine too subpar.

    no rowdy teenagers at the 21+ shows, but you will have to deal with quite a few hipsters

    It might not be obvious, but all upstairs seating, not just the balcony, permits adult beverages. New Belgium Abbey is a solid bet.

    WATCH OUT FOR MICE - that place has plenty. They are attracted by the food that is on the floor (popcorn and stuff), why don't they clean it? It's disgusting. Not going there anymore.
