The problem with this strategy is that some of the things people are getting soused on in movies are just plain bad. It also works with French 75s in Casablanca, Whisky Sours in the Seven Year Itch and Vespers during Casino Royale (that's more like it, 007). Sometimes the choice is obvious, as in a White Russian and The Big Lebowski - the frequency with which 'The Dude' gets through 'em is either a highly irresponsible or enjoyable bar game, depending on your perspective and your penchant for creamy drinks. Then I started to think of my favorite movies where booze plays a role, and what a cocktail pairing would look like for that movie.

I began to think: what if there was a cinema that actually served excellent cocktails specially paired to the theme and era of the movie being shown? Or had on offer the same thing the characters were drinking in the film, served just as the protagonist took a sip on screen? Wouldn't that up the ante on the movie-going experience?

But even though they boast high quality ingredients, they don't take full advantage of what they can do with the platform, even if they do name their cocktails after certain films or film stars. The Roxy Bar and Screen in Borough, the Aubin & Wills cinema in Shoreditch are two that spring to mind.
that are starting to approach this idea, and that's fantastic. To be certain, there are certain movie theater/bar combos in the U.K. But if you could be sipping a single malt Scotch in the theatre alongside Bogie, well that's something entirely different, isn't it? most of the time you can't drink at all, so smuggling in some bourbon and pouring it into your Coke is about as classy as it's going to get. And if you're in a large multiplex cinema, the best you'll likely get is a huge soft drink full of wet ice. In the UK, you can often get a beer or a glass of grotty wine, but unless you want to emulate James Bond and drink a Heineken (Heineken, really?) during the screening of Skyfall, what's the point? If you're watching the revival of the Maltese Falcon sipping on tepid chardonnay you might as well not be drinking at all. It should come as no surprise then that some cinemas are combining real-time drinking with having it splashed on the screen. Of course, not all depictions of liquor in movies are positive - you only have to think of Nicholas Cage in Leaving Las Vegas - but for the most part drinking in movies is just like drinking in real life: fun.
From 1916, when Charlie Chaplin staggered himself around in the drunken masterpiece One A.M., depictions of drinking and its consequences have glistened up there on the silver screen.Īnd it's no wonder - movies are interesting, and everyone knows the most interesting people all imbibe from time to time.
