Dinner and a movie are coming to a theater in south Tampa this weekend.
CineBistro, a luxury movie theater featuring lush seating, dinner menu and alcoholic beverages, opens Friday in Hyde Park Village.
"They don't build Hyde Parks anymore. Hyde Park is a very established, vibrant community," said Jeremy Welman, chief operating officer of Cobb Theaters, which owns CineBistro. "We were given a great opportunity to come in and revive what was once a theater."
CineBistro occupies the storefront that previously housed Sunrise Cinema and before that, an AMC movie house, at South Rome and West Swann avenues.
This is the third CineBistro location in Florida, including Miami and Wesley Chapel.
The venue, adjacent to where the Wine Exchange once was (the restaurant moved a block south), will re-establish Hyde Park as a destination spot.
The 21-and-older theater features oversized leather chairs, seat-side serving and movie inspired specialty drinks. The menu offers rib stacks, gourmet burgers and over the top desserts.
The theater opens with first-run movies including, "Where the Wild Things Are," "The Stepfather," "Couples Retreat," "Law Abiding Citizen," "Capitalism" and "The Boys are Back."
Tickets start at $14.50.
