The Capitol Theatre opened in 1925 and originally sat 1,600 people. After ownership changed hands several times, the theater was transformed into a multiplex in 1989. Each room boasts a unique design, all of which nod toward the grandeur of the original theater. Grab some popcorn and some beers, and watch the latest, greatest indie flick.

Owned and operated by the same company that operates the Capitol Theatre in Arlington (Frame One Theatres), the Somerville Theatre has been in operation since 1914. It has some of the most sophisticated projection booths on the East Coast, and it regularly projects archival 35mm and 70mm film prints. Have a beer across the street at Mike’s, and then have a beer at the theater while watching something beautiful in this stunning old movie house. (Note: The Somerville Theatre routinely hosts concerts performed by national touring musicians, too.)

It’s a chain, but the theater chairs are comfortable — and outside the theater, there’s plenty to eat throughout the Assembly Row development. Taste some beers at the American Fresh Taproom (from the makers of Slumbrew) down the block, and then catch a blockbuster while sipping on something from the theater’s MacGuffins Bar. (Yes, the bar is named for the plot device.)

Another AMC, another MacGuffins. Go see a matinee, have a beer, and then go for a walk through the Boston Common and the Boston Public Garden. And if the date is going well, there are plenty of options in the area for dinner.

Regal Fenway is in the same building as Time Out Market Boston. Start with a snack in the market (and a drink at one of the market’s bars), and finish the date with beers in hand while watching whatever superhero movie or Disney remake is all the rage at the moment. Perhaps save room for a post-film drink at Nathálie, the quirky wine bar across the street.

MacGuffins Bar is beginning to feel like this map’s MacGuffin. Anyway, it’s more of the same with this AMC. It’s equipped with IMAX capabilities, so go see something breathtaking while sipping on something cold and crisp. After, check out Dorchester Brewing Company nearby for more beer.

This multiplex is another chain with more comfortable chairs. Unlike at the other theaters on this list, movie-goers at the Showcase SuperLux at the Street Chestnut Hill can order food from a full-service menu, which includes dishes like fried shrimp and steak frites. Wash it all down with a movie-inspired cocktail, like the 007, which is a take on the martinis James Bond enjoys. Shaken, not stirred, of course.
