Entertainment & Activities
Catch a movie in this swanky state of the art movie theatre built into an old Moolah ballroom space. Get there early to grab a cushy leather couch, or sit in the traditional stadium-style seating in the rear and in the balcony. And grab a beer in the lobby bar before the show! And go bowling in the basement alley after. One of my fave places in StL.
