The perfect gift for movie lovers!
We're always glad to see our guests at YES Cinema, but because of our liquor license, no food or drink can be carried inside. This even applies to water bottles. (Of course, we sell a variety of food and drink items - including Dasani water, and we have a water fountain). No take out containers (doggy bags) may be taken into YES Cinema.
YES Cinema is a not for profit business that relies on the revenue of concession sales to meet operating costs and to funnel money into the charitable programs of the Lincoln-Central Neighborhood Family Center.
