How does the supper club work?
Farrelli's Cinema Supper Club is a restaurant that shows movies, while you dine. We have two
separate "cinema dining rooms" that seat about 70-85 people at comfortable tables and swivel chairs
on tiered flooring. Guests are asked to arrive ½-hour prior to the movie start time
for seating and ordering. At movie start time, the lights are dimmed and you can continue to
order throughout the movie by pressing one of our coaster lights. Movie tickets are $8.50 for adults,
$7.00 for adult matinees, $5.00 for children 12 & under and are added to your bill at the end of the show.
We have state-of-the-art projection equipment and huge screens for optimal viewing.
What kind of movies do you show?
We are able to bring in films that have been out for about 1-2 months, towards the end of their
first run. We mostly show current release films, some indies and classics.
You have a movie starting every hour - do I get to watch the whole movie?
This is one of our favorite questions. We have two theaters and we schedule our show times about 45 minutes
apart to make sure that we can easily get you settled and comfortable before the show, as well as
enough time to comfortably depart after it is over. So yes, you do get to see an entire movie.
How many people can we seat at one table?
We easily accommodate parties of one (we have great bar-style seating as well as tables) and up to parties of 8 at a
single table. If you have more than 8 in your party, we can move tables together to create a larger area
on our top-tier. Typically, with parties of more than 8, more than one table is necessary.
What is seating like? Do I need to eat my dinner in my lap? TV Trays?
We have the excellent 70's-retro TV trays that everyone uses. Just kidding! We have beautiful tables, comfortable
resort-style chairs that all move easily. Many people have commented that our seating arrangements are more comfortable
than most restaurants. The reason for this is that you're going to be enjoying both your dinner and the movie from the same
seat, so it was very important to us that you are comfortable.
Is it too dark in the theater for me to eat my food?
Although our theater is "movie dark," you will have enough ambient light to enjoy your meal. The atmosphere of our
restaurant is more like a cozy living room than a movie theatre, so you'll feel right at home.
Why don't you post your movie schedule further out?
The movie distributors don't tell us what they will release to us until late Monday afternoon
for the following Friday opening. They have recently tightened these rules because Mr.
Harkins, of Harkins Theaters, has told them that he doesn't want us to have a film if he is playing it at his Shea
or 101 theatres. So, we all have to wait and see if Harkins is dropping the film before they
will release it to us and only then are we able to determine our schedule.
How do I find out what is playing?
Features and show times are always posted on our website, www.farrellis.com, and are available by calling
480-905-7200. We are in all
of the Thursday movie listings in the entertainment papers, MovieFone and most of the internet movie listing services.
If you would like to receive a weekly email of our movie schedule, please be sure to
 sign up here.
What kind of food do you have?
We feature Contemporary American Cuisine - steak, pasta, chicken, seafood, burgers, sandwiches,
appetizers and desserts and we have a full bar for a variety of drinks.
Do I need to make reservations?
Reservations are highly recommended, especially on the weekends, but walk-ins are welcome. We
also do a lot of special events, so it is a good idea to make reservations for any evening to
make sure your film is being shown. You must arrive ½ hour prior to the start of your film.
If you are late and have not called us, your seat will be given away to anyone waiting to get in.
Can I rent out your theatres for meetings or special events?
Absolutely!! Our theatres and venue are available to lease for corporate and social events of
any kind. Please contact us at
wendy@farrellis.com
for information and a pricing packet.
Can you coordinate events at other locations in town?
Yes, we have been catering and event coordinating for 20 years and work at many of the Valley's
nicest venues. We can help you with any detail of your planning or simply provide great food and service.
Can I combine a bunch of coupons at once and get everything for free?
No. You may use one coupon, per visit, per reservation and no coupons are valid on Saturday nights.
We ask that you be respectful about this. We have customers who get very angry when they can't
combine all their coupons and get most everything for nothing, instead of being appreciative for
the discount we are offering. Then they take it out on their server and don't leave them a tip.
What is the best way to do a child's birthday party at Farrelli's?
The most cost effective way to have a child's party is to make a
group reservation at our 5:00 pm daily show, which is always
a family oriented film. We also show a kid friendly movie at noon on Saturdays and Sundays. The
caveat, of course, is that we don't know what are films are going to be much more than a week,
maybe two, in advance. Kids 10 and under can order from the Kid's Menu which is $7.95 and includes
their drink. Tickets at our 5:00 pm shows and the afternoon weekend matinee shows are $5 for everyone.
You can bring in a cake and we will charge a $1 per person, cake-cutting and serving fee, to allow
you to bring in outside food.
