Parkway Speakeasy Theater

So Do We.

You've come to the right place to find old-fashioned comfort and fun wrapped up and delivered in a contemporary package:
The Parkway Speakeasy Theater - picture, pub, and pizza. And so much more.

The idea of combining a restaurant with a movie theater is not new. Actually they've been built all over the country and enjoyed great success. But The Parkway Speakeasy is the premiere theater of its kind in California (Our new location in El Cerrito, open in Fall of 2006, is the second!). Since its opening in 1997, the Parkway Speakeasy has enjoyed great local success and worldwide media attention.

Our extensive menu, features premium beers and wine and a wide variety of foods. Besides our specialty - delicious pizza, with assorted toppings - there is a tantalizing array of dishes to choose from as you relax in the casual luxury of each of our large auditoriums.

There are two theaters, upstairs and downstairs, and both feature extremely comfortable love seat sofas as well as cocktail lounge style tables and chairs designed for maximum coziness and convenience for your dining/viewing experience. The downstairs auditorium is wheelchair accessible.

Our selection of films is intentionally eclectic, featuring recent hits as well as classics, cult films, and special programs you won't see anywhere else. We literally have something for everybody and anybody. The cross-cultural complexity of our loyal audiences is testament to this simple fact.

The Parkway Speakeasy has the colorful character of a neighborhood theater (it's been in operation off and on in this location since its founding in 1926, and we've retained and preserved the original decor), as well as the laid-back escape value of an "indoor" drive-in. It is the anti multi-plex.
