The term 'much-anticipated' is bandied about often but if there's a time that the expression is truly warranted, it's the reopening of of Houston's much-loved River Oaks Theatre . The owners and directors have opted for an advance screening of the new filmto introduce the new and improved version of the Houston landmark to the community. The grand reopening begins at 6 p.m. October 3. Unfortunately, it is completely sold out, as are a number of its reopening weekend events.
In addition to the theaters, there are two bars, one up and one down. The lobby bar glows with back lit bottles and crystal illumination but it's the upstairs cocktail area that stuns. While the comfy auditorium seating has been carefully chosen to fit in with the building's design, it is the upstairs velvet bar stools, crimson lounging sofa and rust-colored velvet seating in the private screening room that bring to mind the Hollywood glamour of the 1930s.
Movie theater staples like popcorn and candy will be available in addition to the dining menu. And guests may order cocktails from their seats.We left the preview excited about the new lease on life being given to a true gem in Houston's ever-changing landscape. While many of us fretted over the possible loss of our last historical movie theater, we were also to blame for not supporting it more often.
With tickets selling out rapidly, we think that's a happy indication of the reverence we Houstonians have for this unique artistic venue. We suggest checking out its upcoming events now and buying tickets early., it has been defined as the free, independent voice of Houston, and we'd like to keep it that way. With local media under siege, it's more important than ever for us to rally support behind funding our local journalism.
