The Marcus Majestic on the outskirts of Milwaukee may look retro, but it’s got all the modern amenities to make for a fun night out at the movies. The place has 16 state-of-the-art auditoriums, including two 72-foot-wide, 3-story-tall UltraScreens®. The bowtie-wearing clerks and grand piano in the middle of the lobby give it an upscale feel. Food and drink choices go well beyond the usual concession stand favorites to include the Take Five Cocktail Lounge, Zaffiro’s Pizza Café, and Chocolate Shoppe Ice Cream Shop. You can eat at the tables scattered throughout the lobby before your show, or you can bring everything in with you. Mike and I split a small pizza and some cheesy garlic bread and carried them in to our screening of Homefront with Jason Statham.
The Majestic makes the dinner-and-a-movie experience into an all-in-one event with Big Screen Bistro In-Theatre Dining. While watching the latest blockbuster, you sit in a big, comfy chair, sip beer, wine or a cocktail, and nosh on tasty restaurant fare. Free Wi-Fi means you can get some work done, too, before the lights go down. Spots book quickly, so be sure to make your online reservation as soon as you can.
If you’re on a budget, be sure to check out $5 movie day. On Tuesdays, every movie, all day, costs only $5, AND you get a free small popcorn!
