Three performances, and you pick the night.
Friday at 8, and Saturday at 4 and again at 8. Each one runs ninety minutes with four cocktails included, and every guest is 21 or older with ID.
Which night to pick
The matinee is not the quiet one.
The room is the same at 4 PM as it is at 8, and the bar pours the same four chapters. What changes is Salem outside the door. The afternoon performance lands in the thick of the October crowds, so give yourself an extra half hour to get to us. The 8 PM performances let the day crowd thin out before you arrive, and they put you back on the street afterwards when the city is at its best.
Opening night is Friday. Closing night is Saturday at 8.
The night, in short
- 21 and older, with a valid photo ID at the door

Where we are
On Essex Street, in the middle of everything.
Cinema Salem is inside Museum Place, the small mall whose doors open straight onto the Essex Street pedestrian mall. When you are standing on Essex Street in October, in the middle of the crowd, you are about a minute from our door.
Walking times are approximate and assume an October crowd. Nothing on this list needs a car.
