Nitehawk Cinema opened in Williamsburg in 2011 as a dine-in cinema, with food and cocktails served at your seat. It pairs first-run and repertory films with tableside food and cocktails, ordered on paper slips and delivered quietly during the show. A second location opened in December 2018 in the restored Pavilion on Prospect Park West. The repertory series are the reason to choose it over a chain: midnight cult films, brunch screenings and themed nights with specially created menus.

Book seats online at either location; reserved seating makes it easy to plan dinner around the showtime. Arrive twenty minutes early to order before the lights go down. Midnite screenings on weekends are the house specialty and a very Brooklyn night out. The Prospect Park location suits a pre-film walk in the park; Williamsburg puts you a few blocks from the waterfront.
