Dinner AND a Movie
Jun. 21st, 2008 11:39 pmOn Thursday, I went to see "The Incredible Hulk" with J. at Chunky's Cinema & Pub in Pelham, NH. The movie wasn't as bad as I feared it might be based upon the trailer I saw (it was even better than the first movie). Both Iron Man and The Hulk had a little extra bit at the end. Can't help wondering if they are planning to come out with a movie that links it all together.
Chunky's was an interesting place to see a movie. I didn't peek in the other theaters, but our theater had three long tables running the length of the room, and the seats were leather car seats from Lincolns with wheels underneath so you can turn to face the table or the screen, or halfway in between. Most of the people at the theater seemed to be family groups, except the gaggle of a dozen teens next to us. until the movie started they were rather noisy.
The menu is comparable to 99 with salads, hamburgers (and veggie burgers), steak, and desserts. They have a liquor license so you can get a drink with your meal. The prices aren't too high (you can view the menu online). Dinner for two people came to about ~$30 (not including tip).
Before the movie started, service was pretty good. But once the movie started it took a while for someone to show up. When you arrive at the theater, you can get a little device (about the size of an ashtray) the lights up when you press a button to signal that you want a waitress. Having the staff clear the tables (during the movie) or bring out the bill (just before the end of the movie) wasn't too distracting.
