What else do I need to know before I see a show at RoadHouse Cinemas?
TOP TIP: Purchase your tickets online at least two days in advance. Many movies tend to sell out, especially on weekends and holidays.
If you go to the movies 3+ times a year, you may want to purchase a Roadie Tee for $24.95, which grants you free unlimited popcorn every time you go! Shirts expire on December 31, regardless of the initial date of purchase.
It is customary to tip your server 15% or more. If you wear your roadie shirt, munch on popcorn, and subsequently do not receive a bill, you can always leave a cash tip on your dining table.
None of the popcorn flavors at RoadHouse Cinemas have MSG! No hydrogenated oil! RH Cinemas uses coconut oil instead.
If you order root beer, you'll be getting a local product - old fashioned Keg Rootbeer from Sonora Brewing Company out of Tempe.
Lactose intolerant? Order the dairy-free gelato sorbet.
RHC Gift Cards make a great gift They are good for movie tickets, food, and beverages. Gift cards are available at the theatre for purchase, $20 minimum.
Celebrate with a movie on your birthday! Show proof of age and date with your ID and receive a free gelato or popcorn.
