Socially Forward Luxury Theaters

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

The Lot in Newport Beach Boasts a Communal Experience & Cocktails

— May 29, 2018 — Art & Design
The Lot — a newly renovated luxury theater at Fashion Island in Newport Beach, is dedicated to providing a high-end experience to its guests, as well as to create a platform for social engagement. The outside of the venue features a welcoming lounge area with seating and fire pits. Guests are met by a hostess and led into a luxe contemporary space, designed by architect Carlos Wellman.

The luxury theater has a cafe, a restaurant and a 26-foot bar, serving craft cocktails like Marcos Margarita — "a classic blend of lime juice, Triple Sec and Jose Cuervo Tradicional" with a sideswipe of salt crystals.

The Lot luxury theater will show blockbusters, comedies, art films, kid-friendly movies and more, as well as host events such as the Newport Beach Film Festival and specialty parties.
