McMenamins Anderson School Theater

The Anderson School Theater is a cozy movie house inside a restored historic school in Bothell, Washington, now a hotel with restaurants, bars and gardens. Reviewers love the setting, the themed cocktails and the house-made ciders and beer, and several suggest arriving early to eat before the show. Tickets are inexpensive for an evening showing, often around $13. The lineup leans toward the latest family films, so check the schedule if you want something more grown-up. Plan to make an evening of it with dinner on the patio.
