A huge selection of beers and…erm…food before the film. The view is free.

This indoor beer garden on the same floor as Cinema Monumental is a great place to set up your computer, people-watch, kill 15 minutes before your film, or see the game. This “restaurant” offers Atlas’ favorite foreign beer, BrewDog Punk IPA, as well as some Kwac Belgian beer in its round-bottomed glass contraption. The good news? There are five pages of beer options from around the globe in half and pint sizes. The bad news? The burgers taste like feet. At best, if you toss the top of the bread and eat it Portuguese style, with a knife and fork, you can pretend it’s something else. You might develop the same nose-pinching technique when you drink Sagres once you’ve tasted the carefully-crafted Portuguese Oitava Colina. Cheers!
