Enjoy These Movies This Summer At The Rooftop Cinema Club
The rise of streaming has caused many to wonder if the movie theater is a relic of the past. While it is evolving, the movie-going scene in Miami is alive and well, with the Rooftop Cinema Club creating a unique experience guaranteed to bring out your inner cinephile.
Located at 1212 Lincoln Road, the outdoor venue showcases a curated selection of cult classics, beloved films and new releases under gorgeous sunsets and stars. Overlooking the Miami Skyline, movie-goers are guaranteed to have a beautiful view.
Doors open before screenings, allowing you to take in the beauty and snap pictures. On top of that, there is a full menu and bar available. If you’re more of a movie traditionalist, the box office has classic popcorn, candy, and snacks available.
