This is the PERFECT venue for intimate private screenings, the guys are incredibly kind and helpful. I was offered a sound check for my film upon arrival and the venue is just idyllic. You can hang around and have a drink before and after the screening and their communication was perfect. I would HIGHLY recommend!
