Over the weekend, I had the pleasure of going to see the new
Steve Jobs movie at a new theater located in the Atlantic Plumbing Building in
the Shaw neighborhood of Washington, DC.
The Atlantic Plumbing Theater opened on Thursday, October 15th. It is in walking distance to my house so I
was excited to be able to take a short walk over and catch a movie on a lazy
Sunday afternoon. Also, I absolutely
love the design of this building and am still kicking myself for not jumping at
the opportunity to buy in the building when I had the chance. The building at
one point was home to the Atlantic Plumbing Supply Company and thus kept part
of the name. I was very excited to go
over and check out the new cinema and even doubly so since the Steve Jobs movie
was the first and only movie they decided to premiere.
I must say my favorite part of the experience was while
purchasing tickets being able to select the seats. The prompt shows you all the seats that have
been reserved (purchased) and all the seats that are available. An honorable mention is that the theater also
has a bar where you can order food and specialty cocktails named after famous
films, like ‘Casino Royale’ and ‘The Last King of Scotland’. You can eat and drink in the bar area or at
the sofas and tables. You can even take
menu items into the theater with you and nosh on chicken wings and crab cake
minis while you enjoy your movie. There
is a patio area for drinking and dining when the weather is nice and of course,
a concessions stand with typical movie theater concessions.
I give the experience an A+, as I really enjoyed sipping my wine from an actual
glass while watching a film in a seat I selected. I will definitely be visiting this theater again
once they begin showing other films next week.
