16:09
Pick up a slice of pizza or a sub from Ricks Doughboys. It is a short, four-minute walk from the theatre, and the menu offers plenty of reasonable, hot options to fuel you up.
16:39
Arrive at the Apollo Theatre. You have half an hour to buy your ticket, find your seat, and let the familiar atmosphere of the revitalized old movie house settle in before the lights dim.
17:09
The film begins as the sun sets toward the WSW. The interior lighting is low, but the timing aligns perfectly with the end of the day.
19:09
After the credits roll, walk three minutes to Gunners. This tavern serves good basic meat-and-potatoes food and has an extensive menu, making it a perfect, relaxed place to end the evening.
Local tip
The Apollo is a popular spot for the latest films, so buying tickets early is wise. Gunners is a no-frills tavern, so expect a casual, noisy atmosphere if you arrive after a show.
Check before you go
- Ricks Doughboys is open until 23:00 on weekdays and midnight on Fridays and Saturdays, so it will be open before the movie.
- Gunners has no listed hours, so check the route or call ahead to ensure they are serving after the film ends.
