Suns Cinema - Theater & Bar

Very fun, cool place. Well curated selection of movies, with many foreign and classic movies, and great drinks.

Been a favorite bar of ours for years now. If you love unique amaro-forward cocktails, old movies, cozy spaces, great conversations with strangers (usually about cinema), this may be a bar for you too!

Such a treat whenever we go. I love seeing movies I haven’t seen before that usually produce a good laugh amongst the crowd. Some of the chairs are uncomfortable (especially if you’re not tall and your feet can’t reach the floor) so arrive early to get a good seat. The bar alone is worth the visit because the cocktails are so good, nice and strong and unique. Movies for the following month are usually released quite late the month before so keep an eye out and book fast before they sell out.

A truly amazing staple in the mt pleasant neighborhood. Single screen theaters are community gems and suns cinema commitment to arthouse / indie / classic cinema is something to cherish.

The drinks are great and they sell light snack concessions as well. The patio is open nightly if you just want to hang out and they play movies by the bar inside !

Try the rootbeer negroni if you’re into craft cocktails

An interesting little place. The cocktails were meh but the ambiance was unique. Music was great, and everyone there was so hip.

The root beer Negroni is a must try!! Such a charming place with cozy vibes and great films.

Great movies. Great vibe. You'll Shazam half the playlist after the movie.

This place was thoroughly charming. We went for a screening of Rocky and we'll definitely be back in the future.

David is a righteous dude and the flicks are excellent. I love bringing people here because it’s always a great time. The decor is mighty fine.

David been coming up with his own cocktails that rival those of actual bars. The booze selection is small but excellent - local products and Amaros amongst no more than 20 bottles (I think my home bar is larger.)

Suns Cinema is one of my favorite finds in DC, an awesome atmosphere and great crowds. The movie line up is always entertaining and the staff are stellar. Beer rotation is solid, and there's always at least one cider in rotation. Popcorn is on point and cookies are a good choice. I'd say the style tells you if you'll like it, very laid back but always fun.

A treasure it be found over and over and over again

Cool place! A 20-seat theater made of thrift store antique chairs in what appears to be the front room of a converted row house. Bar in the back (cheap drinks and popcorn). Older fun/artsy movies shown with 10-min intermission. Young crowd.

Suns is just a wonderful "hole in the wall" almost speakeasy neighborhood theater. Well curated offbeat themed movie months,
terrific sound & excellent beverage selection.
Almost hate to let the secret out about this place-its seating capacity is only about 48!

This was my second visit to Suns Cinema for Fale University. It is such a wonderfully laid back atmosphere. We arrived early and hung out in the downstairs bar, where we got drinks and talked to patrons about the movie they had just seen there- What We Do In The Shadows. We were allowed to bring our drinks upstairs and choose from a variety of comfortable chairs to sit in. This time they started with an opening act-traditional stand up comedian who was funny. There were a couple of familiar faces among the 'university staff'; all enjoyable. This lecture-comedy show was about Revolutions. This included the American Revolution, French Revolution, Russian, Cuban, etc as well as Industrial Revolution. Love the slides and gifs and such inane delivery of somewhat relevant facts. Can't wait to come back!

Very cool bar and art house theater! Great for a casual hang or perfect for a private event/screening.

The suns cinema, a perfect spot for movie lovers who like to turn it up a notch after a good movie. The place is Marvelous and has the best open bar. Personally id give it a 5.0 rating. An amazing spot especially for Friday nights.

This theater has so very little space for all of its character. Different models of chairs make up the seating, affordable drinks, old school popcorn machine, red velvet roped in porch and eclectic movie varieties.

Best indie theater ever. They host amazing events and screenings and the bartenders are a delight. Always love coming here!

This place is super adorable. They play amazing movies. Comfy chairs in the back but the uncomfortable ones in the front have the best view.
