Finally a real reason to come to downtown Austin on New Year's Eve!

The response to our first Cinema Cocktails screenings of the classic screwball romantic mystery THE THIN MAN was so great that we just knew we had to return to the wonderful chemistry of Nick and Nora Charles, their adorable dog Asta, their crime-solving savvy and, maybe best of all, their love of distilled spirits. We love good booze too, and while we may not drink as much of it as Nick and Nora (who could?), we like to think of it as highly civilized, quality time - just the kind of time we like to spend at the elegant, restored Ritz Theater.

AFTER THE THIN MAN picks up at the same high level of the first film and keeps the laughs coming. William Powell and Myrna Loy as Nick and Nora are just as sweet, just as tipsy and just as funny. And this time the titular Thin Man is embodied by the great Jimmy Stewart. In addition to the film itself, we'll be serving a multi-course feast, enjoying a practice champagne toast after a countdown to our own special "midnight" that could only be done by the Alamo (hey, it'll be midnight somewhere when we do this)!

Each course will be paired with a fine libation selected by our very own Chef Trish Eichelberger. Check back for drink pairings soon. In the mean time, check out this food menu:
