Nitehawk Cinema

About the Business

Specialties

Nitehawk Cinema is New York's original cinema eatery; an Independent movie house bringing a selective approach to film, food, and drinks.

History

Established in 2011.

Setting a historical precedent, Nitehawk Cinema is single-handedly responsible for the groundbreaking overturn of the prohibition-era New York State liquor law that made serving alcohol in motion picture theaters illegal. Nitehawk celebrated Gov. Andrew Cuomo's signing the new law allowing moviegoers to enjoy an adult beverage at their theater seats a mere three months after the Cinema's opening date. And thus, a new era of boozy film viewing in Brooklyn (and beyond) began!
