These were all equally as sweet and tasty. We had a few more cocktails, including the Spiked Cherry Limeade (Sobieski Black Cherry and Dekuyper Triple Sec) and Long Island Iced Tea (Seagram’s Sweet Tea Vodka, Amsterdam Gin, and Dekuyper Triple Sec), as they were delivered whenever we had nothing in front of us. These were much smaller than their regularly ordered menu counterparts, and as we soon realized, less alcoholic as well. Justin commented how the Hurricane tasted like Starburst.

We had a Caribbean Hurricane (Cruzan Silver Rum, Captain Morgan and Fruit Juices) and a Studio Blue Grande Margarita (Gold Tequila, DeKuyper Triple Sec and Blue Curacao. Moments later another server came by and handed us a sample of their BBQ Chicken Nacho appetizer.

We snagged one of the last booths and were instantly offered some complimentary cocktails. A band was playing in one of the corners. To the back is the bar, but there were servers running around with drinks and appetizers. Instead of a concessions area you are in a lounge, and a good sized one at that. Once you head past the ticket area, that’s when it starts to feel different. Off to the left and right are self serve ticket machines. We checked in with the people greeting invitees, so I didn’t get to experience the ticketing side of things. A counter is front and center with big screens lying face up showing the movies that are playing. The ticket booth is a bit more fancy though. It looks like a typical theater from the outside, and even as you first enter.

I arrived with my friend Justin at about 6PM. They play first run movies, so right now they were playing Annie, The Hobbit, Night At The Museum and Exodus. I’m too lazy to research that so I’ll give them the benefit of the doubt here. Studio Movie Grill claims that they came up with the idea. This is not a new concept, although we haven’t had one in our area until now. They serve a full menu of food, including beer, wine and cocktails, right to your seat. Studio Movie Grill is a new movie theater in Rocklin, with a twist. At first I declined but, after they sent me the official invite anyway, I thought it would be a good way to start venturing outside of Roseville, so here we are! Full disclosure up front: this was all on the house, movie, food and all, but I will stay as objective as possible. Anyway, on with the post!Ī little while ago I was invited to come down to Studio Movie Grill in Rocklin for their opening celebration on Thursday night. I wanted to keep it very casual and so I will just visit places that I’ve been hearing a lot about or have been curious about. There’s no set plan and I will be not be doing another city completely. I’m excited to announce that starting with this post I am expanding beyond Roseville! I’ll still keep up on new Roseville openings but in addition I will start to explore the surrounding areas.
