Food Scene

A small secret local izakaya! Dimly lit, small tables, perfect for dates. Often weird Japanese splatter films playing. Only open in the early evening, best to go at 8pm. Only a sign on the door that reads "this is NOT a Japanese restaurant" ;).

Entertainment & Activities

The fierce rival of the Academy, the Laurelhurst is a 1920s 4-plex movie theater. $4 admission, great titles, staff is somewhat friendly, but that's their style. Not as tidy as the academy, but that their style, catering more towards the Young Urban Professional crowd that now populates their neighborhood.

Built in 1926, the Hollywood Theater, designed in the Rococo Architectural style, is a triplex in its 90th season. Capable of state of the art digital, 35mm, 16mm & 70mm screenings. Head programmer Dan Hansted is a local hero, with his immensely popular Kung Fu Theater / Grindhouse Film Festival 35mm monthly series'. Always a riot! The filmy heart of a filmy town.

The only theater in Portland built during the television era, the historic Academy Theater is a 2nd run theater that screens one revival title/week. Here's the deal: $4 admission, $5 pints from a carefully selected 10 tap brew list -- the definition of Portland brew pub culture. Oh yeah, delicious Flying Pie Pizza, Miyamoto Sushi, and Bipartisan baked goods available. Unlike many other 2nd run theaters, the Academy is always pristine. So grab an avocado roll, a Boneyard IPA, and hunker down for the annual screening of The Goonies, the new Tarantino film, John Carpenter's The Thing, and manly other hand selected revival and 2nd run titles! Child care available weekends

One of the last remaining drive in movie theaters! Only 45 min from Portland, this trek is well worth it. $8 admits you to two films -- yep, an olde fashion double feature. Usually 1st run (new) movies, sometimes revival showings. Runs from April through Oct. Very private experience, the sound comes in through your FM radio speakers. Vintage poster gallery in concessions. Movies start at dusk!
