Slog - Comments on S Edmunds St & Rainier Ave S http://slog.thestranger.com/2007/07/s_edmunds_st_rainier_ave_s Columbia City The Columbia City Cinema—a decently sized, single screen, independently owned theater in southeast Seattle—has applied for a beer and wine license and will begin serving a variety of craft brews in the fall. Columbia City Cinema (CCC) will become the third Seattle theater—along with The Big Picture and Central Cinema—to serve booze, which still leaves us behind Portland, which has 7, I think. CCC started selling beer earlier this year but due to a bizarre paperwork mix-up, patrons were allowed to drink in the lobby but couldn't take drinks into the theater. Full disclosure, CCC is owned...

They'll be able to endure the movie much more easily.

Of course Portland also allows strip clubs to sell liquor as well, and you know, the rampaging hordes of drunken gymnophiliacs and cinemaphiles have yet to burn any of the surrounding neighborhoods to the ground or anything.

Just sayin', Mayor, City Council & State Liquor Board...

What are we supposed to patrol for again?

You can't take it into the theater.

That's awesome news. I love CCC -- I always make a point to go to movies there on opening nights, because they almost never sell out and their popcorn is the best. It makes for a much more pleasant experience than dealing with the crowds downtown or on the hill.
