The Loft Cinema

Looking for a place to hang other than a simple bar or club? Okay, The Loft Cinema is kind of a bar. You can sip wine and beer on its patio. But it's also a movie theater. Main events range from showings of cult classics like Rosemary's Baby to almost any other thing you'd expect from an independent theater, including indie, foreign, alternative and classic narrative films and documentaries. And here's where the Loft's bar part really merges with its movie theater part: You can bring your booze into the theater and drink while you watch the film. The Loft is also an event venue. It hosts two free film series: the Tucson International Children's Film Festival in July, and Essential Cinema, a series of classic art films on the big screen in new 35mm prints.
