Eat & drink from their food menu on a comfy couch (or office chair) as you watch a mainstream or indie film . Sat morning cartoons or Drink & Draw and community events make this theater one of a kind.

I love the New Parkway because it has a variety of films , trivia night , beer , all the popcorn toppings you could want, and best of all, the seating is an eclectic and colorful collection of couches .

Allegra Belle

This was super fun i highly recommend getting here early and having a drink on the mezzanine. They have board games and tables. The food is a expensive but you should grab beer/popcorn for the show.

Flora L

Amazing place! Watch a movie snuggled on one of their comfy couches . The Italian sodas are great, pizza was average, but the popcorn is worth it.

Ms Helene

Unique film screenings, all tockets $10, popcorn medium $5 + $1 butter and DIY seasonings

Victor Stuber

Really fun theater with lots of character. Lots of hipsters and the couches are kind of filthy but its a really fun experience. Show up early to snag a good seat.

Kelli Johnston

Fun decor , comfy seating , great beer and food selection, cheap movies . Classics like Harold and Maude. What more could you want? So happy we have a view-and-brew in Oakland again.

If you're looking for a comfy sofa to recline into while watching a movie , this is the spot. Feels like you're in your mom's living room.

This place is a phenomenal spot for a movie . Great food, reasonable tix and hella comfy , homey chairs.

Get excited for the popcorn topping bar ! Nori , salt, pepper , nutritional yeast and whatever else you can imagine!

Tiffany Edwards

I love coming for the throwback movies...theater 1 rocks with the bean bag chairs ????????????

Ashley Mowrey

Get here a half hour early, have someone stand in line and the other pick up the tickets. Speed walk to get the best seat, then lounge and drink beer .

Brian Strauss

Fun and funky . Community oriented. Good movies . Limited seating . Very green -- hope you don't need to blow your nose, cloth napkins and air hand dryers only.

Tiffany Edwards

A great place for a first date. Funky chair's, good food, great customer service.

Korean tacos . Monthly MST3K shows. And everything else. Great theater.

Ryan Leggett

Love this place! Get some popcorn and a beer and don't miss all the delicious toppings. Sriracha or Old Bay anyone?

J T

Great little community theater in Oakland, that includes a restaurant and comfortable seating . This is my new favorite.

Henry Wong

If you’re parking west of telegraph or far away, stow your valuables out of site or out of the car before you go to the theater. My car was just broken in and work bag with computer stolen.

Matt Martin

For more popular movies it's worth showing up about a half hour before the show so you can get one of the better couches .

Ellen McGrody

I've been for an event ! The food is wonderful and I really love the vibe!

One of my new favorite theaters. Perfect for date nights

Island Bruin

Show up way in advance if you want to sit upstairs in theater 1. Otherwise you are at a table downstairs.

Yameng

Had I known that the vege panini tasted like a damp cloth wrapped in an old pair of socks, I probably would have stuck with the buttered popcorns , which were tasty.

Libby Lee-Egan

There is a baby changing table in the handicapped stall in the women's restroom . I don't know about the men's

Lindsey Johnson

Get $1 off your ticket if you bring your bike helmet in!
