If you’re looking for a mix of good music, classic films, and Black culture, Cinema OTR is the place to be.

Located in the heart of OTR, the new bar and lounge is dedicated to ‘90s R&B, hip hop, and classic Black films. Who doesn’t love a good throwback movie while enjoying a cocktail?

Cinema has even dedicated their cocktail menu to classic Black films. Their specialty drink, “Nina” was inspired by the film “Love Jones” (1997), an iconic film to this day, that represents Black love, life, careers and the possibilities in between. The character, Nina, was a young, beautiful, and outgoing woman. The cocktail is said to be a perfect balance of bold and beautiful, just like Nina.

Cinema also has special events throughout the week, including Matinee Day Party,The Games Watch Party (Who Dey!), and The Late Show. Vsit their Instagram page for a full schedule.
