The Arena Grand Theater by ColumbusGuy
The creation of Drexel Theater owner Jeff Frank, the new Arena Grand brings movies to downtown in lively setting. The Arena Grand combines the sensibilities of the art house and multi-plex cinema. With eight theaters, there's room for both high brow independent and low brow Hollywood movies in the same building. Similarly, there's a downstairs snack bar which features soft pretezels, soda, and popcorn, while upstairs there's cheesecake, gourmet pizzas, and alcohol. If you want to see 'Austing Powers: Goldmember' in new theater comfort while munching on superb sushi, the Arena Grand is the place.
An interesting feature, which has yet to fully demonstrate its usefulness- of the Arena Grand is 'Club-Level' seating. When buying your ticket you have the option of paying $10 (instead of the normal Columbus Price of $7) and reserve one of the comfy leather seats in the balcony. There's No need to fight for that coveted center spot 2/3rds of the way back. Since the Arena Grand has only been open a few months, Columbus has yet to warm to the idea of going downtown for movie. This is great news for movie lovers who want to relax and avoid the madhouse of the popular AMC Lennox Theater a few miles away.
