Booked Screening Room at Noisefloor

5.0

Noisefloor is such an amazing space for a small private theater. We rented it out for my husband's 50th to watch his favorite movie and it was only our family - 5 of us - but the theater can hold close to 20. The sound was fantastic, the seats comfortable and the quality of the picture fantastic. The space overall is so cool. It's a working studio and they have a kitchen area next to the theater where we brought snacks and drinks. Corey is one of the owners and he was so incredibly accommodating and lovely. He made us popcorn in their popcorn machine (super delicious and salty like a real movie theater) and made sure we had a great time. I will use this space again and could not recommend it more highly! There's even plenty of parking right outside the building.
