Studio 35 Cinema & Drafthouse

Studio 35 Cinema & Drafthouse is a beloved indie dine-in theater near Ohio State, known for its full bar, pizza, and a mascot named Mr. Pickles that longtime regulars reference fondly. Theater 1 keeps its original non-stadium seating, so expect an old-school sightline rather than the stadium risers of newer multiplexes — reviewers are split on whether that adds charm or just discomfort. Beer runs pricier than you might expect at around $12 a pint, and a few recent reviews flag the vinyl seats as due for a deep clean. It regularly screens classics and hosts tasting-menu events alongside first-run movies. Parking is street-only, which reviewers call the biggest hassle of a visit. Expect mid-range pricing for tickets, food, and drinks.
