Since first opening in February 2011, FilmBar, 815 N. 2nd St., has won numerous local awards. And recently, it has added new features to make your visit even more memorable.

FilmBar now has a comfy patio with great views of the downtown street life. A reverse happy hour was introduced in May, available from 10 p.m. to close seven days a week.

FilmBar also has added an additional show time for its Monday through Thursday screenings.

FilmBar screens new indie and foreign films, cult classics, and local films. Additionally, FilmBar periodically presents a themed retro film. Full price tickets for new films are $9; ticket prices vary for retro films. If you want to just hang out at the bar, you don’t have to buy a movie ticket to do so.
