Two Major NYC Movie Chains Might Start Serving Alcohol Soon

Sometimes, sitting in a theater with noisy kids and chatty parents can get pretty annoying quick. If only they’d let you drink in New York movie theaters.

Turns out, New Yorkers may see themselves holding a cold cocktail in the movies sooner then they think.

The Nitehawk Cinema, located in Williamsburg, is working to try and serve cocktails with its movie showings. Owner Matthew Viragh has petitioned the state of New York to overturn the alcohol ban in movie theaters.

Governor Cuomo, has since, signed off a new law that state theaters are allowed to serve alcohol as long as they’re also restaurants.

To meet the requirements, The Nitehawk would have to first obtain a liquor license. Afterwards, they’ll have to begin setting up tables and foods you can’t find at a confectionary stand. Sorry, nachos.

Taking cues from Nitehawk, it’s reported that two unnamed movie theater chains have hired Nitehawk’s lawyer to help them undergo a similar process. Some options thrown around where fold-out tray tables and armrests to place the food on once you’re inside the theater.

No word yet as to who these major chains are. One thing is for sure, however, expect to pay a hefty sum for theater booze.
