Flix Brewhouse to open soon Flix Brewhouse (Flix), the world’s only first-run movie theater, eatery and microbrewery, opens its first location in Oklahoma on Wednesday, Sept. 2. Flix will premiere Christopher Nolan’s newest blockbuster, “Tenet," while offering several promotions to guests throughout the month of September, including $1 popcorn, $1 sodas and $3 Flix beers. “After postponing our opening date due to the COVID-19 outbreak, our excitement has only continued to build,” Flix General Manager Nick Toros said. “We look forward to opening our doors and bringing a new experience to the Oklahoma City Metro.” Flix auditoriums feature state-ofthe-art digital projection and sound, comfortable stadium seating, parabolic screens, server call systems that allow guests to order silently and reserved seating to limit lines. The food menu is complete with big flavors such as hand-tossed pizzas, tasty burgers and irresistible wings in addition to other tempting and made-fresh fare — baked, grilled and crafted in-house. The in-theater table service seating will hold approximately 950 guests, and the lobby/bar includes additional seating for 75 to 100 guests, although capacity will be restricted to enforce appropriate social distancing. “We’re changing the game for movie theaters and moviegoers across the country,” Toros continued. “No longer are guests coming to just sit down and watch a movie — they’re coming to encounter an elevated experience that will keep them returning for more." This enhanced theater is not only serving biggest blockbuster movies and delicious food but also its own Flix craft beers and more than 11 taps of the best regional and local craft beer favorites including Angry Scotsman, Anthem, Coop Ale Works, Elk Valley, Iron Monk, Lively, Prairie Artisan, Roughtail, Skydance, Stonecloud and Vanessa House. “We are eager to offer various beer-forward events including beer
dinners and specialty pairing events in addition to our monthly FanFest celebrations,” Toros said. The original Flix Brewhouse location was launched in July 2011 in Round Rock, Texas, a suburb city of Austin. The concept was designed from the inside out to deliver on consumer demand for experiential entertainment, redefining moviegoing by pairing a premium viewing and dining experience with one-of-a-kind brewedon-premises craft beer offerings. Since then, Flix has quickly become known as America’s Cinema Brewery, opening nine additional locations with Oklahoma being the tenth. In light of the coronavirus pandemic, Flix has also invested in an indoor air quality system to improve staff and guests' experience. Specifically, this system is built with Plasma Air bipolar ionization technology, which proactively treats the air in an occupied space. Upon entry, masks will be required by guests but can be taken off while seated if eating or inside the theater or at a table in the Pub. Guests that are not consuming food or drinks should wear their masks when in their auditoriums. “We want to ensure we’re creating a safe environment for our guests and our soon-to-be staff,” Toros continued. “We look forward to opening our doors and welcoming the Oklahoma City community to its new favorite movie theater.” Flix is currently accepting job applications for several positions, including, but not limited to, servers, brewers, cooks, box office attendees and managerial positions.

About Flix Brewhouse Flix Brewhouse is the world's only first-run cinema-eatery-microbrewery. As America's Cinema Brewery, Flix Brewhouse combines the latest Holly-
wood productions, award-winning, brewed-on-premises craft beer and delicious food – all served “in theater,” on an a la carte basis, allowing the experience to be customized. The genesis of the Flix concept stems directly from consumer demand for a better, more value-oriented way to watch a movie. Designed from the inside out to deliver a premium viewing and dining experience at an affordable price, Flix Brewhouse addresses
the primary concern of moviegoers everywhere – the rising cost of admissions and concessions and the typically poor value realized at the conventional multiplex. The original Flix Brewhouse location in Round Rock, Texas, has been in operation since July 2011. The company now has ten locations, including its newest venue in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, which will open in September.
