Date Idea of the Month: Rooftop Cinema Club at Manchester Grand Hyatt

Nothing says “Date Night in San Diego” like watching a favorite flick at an outdoor theatre under the summer stars. Recently launched for the summer, the Rooftop Cinema Club at Manchester Grand Hyatt San Diego offers a throwback to outdoor movie watching that will make even 20-somethings feel nostalgia for the Good Ol’ Days.

A buzz of excitement builds in the air on the rooftop of the waterfront hotel as the sun sets and fellow moviegoers cozy up under blankets and happily chat over buckets of popcorn. While most of the movies are timed with the sunset, doors open at 6:30pm every night to give patrons plenty of time to order food, choose a drink, grab some popcorn, and meander around the venue looking for the perfect seat. The Rooftop Cinema Club offers a major date night perk that most theatres don’t: COCKTAILS! The menu lists some fun ones like the Mean Girl (Cosmopolitan) and Stay Classy (Old Fashioned) in addition to beer, wine and soda options. Enjoy some light snacks before grabbing a seat, like the Homemade Potato Chips or Gourmet Trail Mix, or indulge in a more hearty meal like Carne Asada Tacos or Poke Nachos.

Buy tickets in advance online and choose between a Lounge Seat in a comfortable deckchair for $17 per person (add $3 more for unlimited popcorn) and a Love Seat in a double deckchair with prime seating for $24 per person (which includes unlimited popcorn). Each seat comes with state-of-the-art wireless headphones to tune out the outside world and listen to uninterrupted cinematic moments. Date Night Tip: go with the Love Seat and cuddle up close to your sweetheart.Movie showings are happening now through the summer finale of The Greatest Showman on Saturday, September 8. The full lineup of movies throughout the summer provide a mix of beloved classic movies and new blockbusters to keep every age and demographic content and coming back for more.
