Last night Leah and Joe took me out to the Parkway Speakeasy Theater in Oakland to see Sweeney Todd. What a great place! They serve real food (pizza, salad, sandwiches), as well as beer and wine. You sit on couches or at the bar-like area in back, and they bring dinner out to you as you wait for the movie to start. I highly recommend visiting it - the interior, shown above, reminds you that you are someplace special. You are out for the evening! Maybe the denim slipcovers on the couches aren't so glamorous, but it's still way better than the multiplex.
There's one in El Cerrito too, if you're closer to that side of town.

i went to the parkway the other night to see 'no country for old men', which i highly recommend. but, the theatre, although beautiful and comfortable, seems to attract unwanted viewers. those that aren't really interested in seeing the movie, but feel invited to grope their significant other in the moody light of the projection screen. also, BYOB.
