Great Find- Mesa Riverview

Because of the overwhelming masses of teenagers flocking to the theaters, Joe and I had pretty much eliminated a movie for a Friday night date. And then we discovered Mesa Riverview.

Why bother going?

1) Wonderful atmosphere

We went on a Friday night and it was not crowded at all. We felt like we were walking through Mitford or some other small town during a party. Although it did not feel upscale, it felt warm, romantic and friendly.

2) Cheap movie tickets

Adult Evening $7.25

Adult Fri/Sat after 6pm $7.75

Child/Senior $5.25

Adult Matinee before 6pm $5.75

College $6.25

This is WAY cheaper than AMC or Harkins

3) Great Theater

Although brand new and state of the art, the theater felt old-school, with cascading curtains and warm sconces guiding our way. We arrived 5 minutes before the start time of Spiderman 3 (on only its second weekend) and had no problem getting a good seat. As an added bonus, the seats rock and recline and you can lift the armrests and hug your hunny!

4) Cracker Barrel!

Joe loves Cracker Barrel and so of course I do too! The only one in the East Valley (Awatukee) is always very crowded and too far away. This is empty (so far) and so close by!

To get there, take the 202 east to Dobson Road – you can’t miss it.
