On a hot summer (or winter) evening, dinner and a movie at The Lot is definitely one way to treat yo' self.
The big picture: With "Project Hail Mary" shattering expectations at the box office, many of us are heading to the theaters, and luxury experiences like The Lot are ready to cash in.
Zoom in: The Lot's two locations, in Liberty Station and La Jolla, let you recline in leather armchairs and indulge in a full menu of cocktails, dinners and desserts.
By the numbers: It's not a cheap date, with tickets running $23 and menu items on the pricey side.
- But members can get a big discount on Wednesdays.
Pro tip: You can curate your entire experience before the movie begins by choosing when your drinks, food, second round and dessert should arrive.
- That way you don't have to miss a second of Ryan Gosling's banter with his BFF Rocky.
👽🕷️ Claire's thought bubble: We took my 8-year-old son for one of his first cinema experiences to see "Project Hail Mary."
- He loved the reclining chairs and the kids menu cheeseburger.
- For the adults, the Kentucky mule and old fashioned were far above what you'd expect from a movie theater.
- And the turkey cobb salad and brownie sundae were also great, even though you have to eat in the dark.
I'd highly recommend the movie for big kids. My son followed the plot easily and laughed at every joke except the Meryl Streep one.
