Got four quarters and a free evening? Every Monday night the Arlington Cinema ‘N’ Drafthouse screens current yet just-missed-it-at-the-theater flicks for a buck.
As Arlington’s local “movies, beer, food and fun” provider since 1985, the Drafthouse is a staple institution for all Northern Virginians. In addition to cheapo blockbusters, they have a full-fledged restaurant inside offering premium and microbrewed beer, chicken tender wraps, deluxe nachos, build-your-own-pizza and more at tableside service.
What’s currently playing on the big screen? “Cars 2,” “Mr. Popper’s Penguins,” “Pirates of the Caribbean – On Stranger Tides,” “Bridesmaids,” “Super 8″ and “X-Men First Class.” The move line-up changes often so be sure to check out their website for up-to-the-minute showtimes.
Under 21 are allowed when accompanied by an adult before 9 p.m. After that, it’s only the legal are allowed. Can’t make Mondays? Tuesdays at the Drafthouse are just as sweet with just $2 per screening. (Wednesday through Sundays shows run for $5.50).
