Thomas Wong: The best independent movie theatre in DC. Great ice cream!
Teresa Logan: Great theatre, great films. Live the cafe in the mornings, and having wine with my movies at night :)
banafsheh ghassemi: The best movie theatre in town. Period. It's a pop up but I hope they make it a perm spot. Cool lounge with a good selection of wine, beer, snacks, comfy seats, not overpriced, great art house movies.
Renata l: . Cozy environment and very good independent movies
Stacey: coffee club on weekend mornings (first showing) feat. $6 movies + free coffee.
Georgetown University: These stairs were made famous in the 1973 horror movie, "The Exorcist." Today you might find GU students and athletes using them for exercising, instead of exorcising.
Santi Caamaño: Very steep stairs... got your cardio working going up and down the stairs! You'll feel like you're in the movie set!

Cassidy: If I could be reincarnated as a bar it would be Suns Cinema. lovely people, supremely excellent booze and snack selections, and a sublime movie schedule.
Rebecca Raia: Cool spot. Great vibes. The movie theater gets noisy - it’s the second floor of a bar. Their movie selection is amazing, but don’t go in expecting a perfectly silent theater.
Cara: Suns Cinema fucking rules. It's like hanging out at your friends house but with better drinks. Obsessed.
Francesca DiMarco: Great outdoor movies on Friday evenings, thanks to Golden Triangle. Check it out, goldentriangle.com.
Kori: Check out the website, they have several fun events with food, drinks, tours, etc. House is beautifully preserved.
