ArcLight Sherman Oaks

Arclight is the new wave of movie theater experiences. With assigned seating and impeccable standards for movie viewing, you don't have to worry about waiting in line for hours to possibly get a horrible seat or split off from your friends. Knowing that your seat is secure and just where you want it, you can relax and have a cocktail or bite to eat in their restaurant and bar. And with the 405 and 101 racing by practically next to you it's one of the best bar views in the city! Who knew traffic could be so calming and interesting! The bar here is one of my favorite new places to frequent! The atmosphere is very inviting and calm, the view fantastic, and the bartenders are super friendly and make some mean drinks! Really a great lil hidden find in the valley!

Pros: Bar View, Seating, Caramel Corn

Cons: Parking garage distance

Before the switch over, the seats were really comfy and the front section reclined to make the best seats in the house. Now the seats thrust your head forward and they don't tilt back. They also got the showtime wrong on the website, so everyone who bought their tickets online had to wait an extra half hour! And I personally don't like being hovered over by swarms of staff and ushers, having to carry my ticket everywhere and being told by a teenager with a microphone what movie I've decided to see. And all for a mere $2 extra over the old price... what a deal! If you like airports, you'll love this place.
