AUSTIN POWERS:INTERNATIONAL MAN OF MYSTERY
Lights, Camera, Cocktails is a monthly screening series, presented by ArcLight Cinemas that pairs top bars and bartenders with a favorite movie to create a three-drink menu using the film for inspiration. At each event, guests will enjoy a pre-screening cocktail in ArcLight’s modern-designed café bar.
Staff from the evening’s featured bar partner will be on hand to meet and mingle with guests before they head over to the theater to pick up complimentary popcorn and their second movie-inspired cocktail to enjoy while watching the featured film.
Following the screening, guests are invited back to the café for a wrap party to discuss the film and savor their third craft cocktail. The series is curated by beverage event consultants The Dogma Group and sponsored by Grey Goose Vodka.
