Studio 35 Cinema & Drafthouse - Columbus, Ohio

Great neighborhood haunt for sure! Amazing bartenders/staff and an excellent draft beer selection. The pizza is now made in-house and is top notch.
Oh, and they also show movies! And definitely check out a Rocky Horror Picture Show showing.

We came here on opening weekend of the Barbie movie and they really went all out for it- full on decorations, a custom Barbie drink menu, a Barbie box Photo Booth- it really added to the experience and fun of the show.

Aside from the special event, this place has a great set up- movies, a bar, and pizza with plenty of places to sit and eat and lounge with friends. The seats inside the theatre and super comfy, some chairs in the back even have tables to put food if you order pizza for the show, the prices for drinks and popcorn I thought were reasonable for a movie theatre, and it was air conditioned but not so much that I was freezing throughout the show.

After the show we got pizza and headed upstairs on the outdoor balcony which was a lot of fun. We got the Greek salad and the Swarm pizza which was a spicy pepperoni with a honey drizzle. The pizza was well balanced with spice and cooked well. They also had plenty of substitutions available so a vegan or vegetarian would be happy here as they have plant based meats and cheeses if you want those instead. Our food was made quickly- we waited maybe 15 minutes for it to arrive.

The last thing I’ll mention is the people working there seem to be having fun (many dressed up for the Barbie show) and they seemed to collaborate and enjoy working together. Overall a real fun place to watch a show. Will return!

Studio 35 is one of the last of its kind, being only a single auditorium. But what makes this place unique is the bar outside the auditorium. Very cozy and personal, it's nice to get a drink either before the show, after a show, or even just to stop by. They also have in-person Rocky Horror mock shows on the weekends where actors perform as if in a play while the movie plays on the screen in the background. It's very entertaining to dress up for a night and relive the time warp. Definitely check out a Rocky Horror show, or just stop by to get a drink!

Great way to keep an old historic movie theater relevant. Impressive selection of beers and great atmosphere inside. The chairs could stand to be a little taller so you can lean your head back but overall high quality experience watching for my first time at this place. Price was reasonable for a new release movie. Temperature was comfortable. They had snacks and popcorn available as well. Probably the biggest downside is trying to find parking. Overall really sweet retro theater.

The atmosphere here is unlike any other movie theater or bar. Studio 35 seems to capture all of my favorite environments in one. It's a dive bar while also not being too divey. Their pizza is LIT. You can't go wrong with a single one. They also have pizza and drink specials that are insanely good and movie themed! They have all of your favorite theater snacks too. Pretzels and nachos are delicious. They introduced me to popcorn with M&Ms and/or Reese’s Pieces. They carry a ton of local beer. Their bartenders know what they are doing and take the best care of you. If you don't want to see a movie, you can hang out, eat, play board games, and watch TV in the bar. I love it here. I wish I lived next door.

This establishment holds a special place in my heart, as it evokes a profound sense of nostalgia for my younger years. It encompasses a restaurant, bar, and two theaters, providing a diverse range of entertainment options. They host a variety of events and showcase both classic and contemporary films. The culinary offerings are delectable, and the staff demonstrates exceptional professionalism and courtesy.

Finally came here for the first time recently and I had a good experience, even though I didn't know there was the crew championship game going on and the bar was packed with avid fans which made service way slower and the fans were very loud (understandable it's an important game). BUT ASIDE FROM THAT the experience I had overall was still fantastic. The staff was extremely friendly and helpful. The craft beer selection was outstanding even having some rarer stuff on tap (they had weldwerks on when I was there), and the bourbon selection was pretty dang good as well. The food was fantastic, we got 2 pizzas (curd nerd and hot swarm) that we were very happy with, and I still think about them, delicious. Our movie was in the recliner room which was great because those seats were very comfy. Overall studio 35 is a fantastic small theatre, and I really look forward to coming back in the future (hopefully not during a major sporting event lol).

Studio 35 donated a movie package to a local school fundraiser held late April 2024 with $20 in tickets, 2 candy bars, and a refillable empty bucket for popcorn. The starting bid was $50. I paid more than that since it was for a good cause. When we went to use the tickets and get our popcorn bucket filled July 2024, they refused to do so bc it was the previous year’s bucket. I’m appalled that they donated a useless piece of plastic as something of value. Does not really feel like a sincere act of doing something for the community.
