Just experienced my first Draft House in Boston. Loved it. Very good selection of beer, including a couple of top local breweries. Full liquor bar. And the popcorn, oh my, that popcorn. I had the most movie popcorn during the show than ever before... that tossed in clarified butter was heavenly.

And a great location. It's 50' from a public transit stop. Nice.

Your experience sounds much better than mine! The handful of times I went to the one in Dallas, the food wasn’t great and the entire building had an unpleasant smell to it.

Working in a restaurant for years, the smell reminded me of old sanitizer that had been used much longer than it was intended.

Ewww, I was very happy with it. As far as I'm concerned it'll be my "go to" movie house. It's also a 2 minute walk to one of the top breweries in New England, Trillium.

Except for IMAX. The biggest of New England is less than an hour away in Providence.

That’s unfortunate: it seems like a great experience. They’re blaming it on reduced customers since COViD. However, anecdotally, i and most people I know, may go to the theater less but are more willing to spend more for a better experience. I’ll only goto a few movies this year, but they’ll be in iMax.

I was excited when they finally announced a location in Boston, but I have to admit to never having gone there. Now that I neither live nor work downtown, it’s not especially convenient. At least as importantly, it’s a frustratingly crowded area that’s just annoying to deal with

While I’m a big proponent of transit and Boston does it pretty well for US cities, there’s no practical transit or park and ride from where I live - it would quickly turn into a day trip, rather than an evening entertainment

This is extremely upsetting for me. I haven't seen a movie in a different theater in maybe 10 years.
