Customers, Friends & Clintonville Neighbors:
We wanted to make sure you were aware that a Studio 35-related issue will be part of tomorrow's election. We are seeking a liquor license in addition to our current license to sell beer.
As you know, since becoming owners of Studio 35 we have sought many ways to improve the movie-going experience as well as give back to the community. Improving the sound, adding recycling efforts, hosting local fundraising events and upgrading the beer system are just some of the ways that we've tried to make the Studio 35 experience even better. We view our application for this license as just another one of these improvements. In seeking a liquor license we hope to better service our diverse tastes of our guests, who have often asked for wine in addition to beer.
Some have asked if our expanded offerings will change Studio 35. It is important to note that the license we are requesting is attached to Studio 35 as it is operating as a movie theater. The license cannot be transferred to any other kind of business in this location. In addition, we are committed to serving alcohol responsibly to all of our movie-going patrons. We want Studio 35 to continue to be the great, local movie theater which has served Clintonville for the past 70 years.
We know that a change like this may generate some questions and we want to be able to answer them so you may make informed decisions when voting in May. Please feel free to contact us directly at 226.4755 or eric@studio35.com with any inquiries.
Thank you as always for your support!
Rita & EricThis is the deception. They can already serve wine for on premise consumption because they have a D2 license.
I am not opposed to Studio 35 serving beer, but at what point do you say enough is enough. Are they a theatre that serves beer or are they a bar that just happens to show movies. They go on to say that they serve alcohol responsibly, that is border line truth. I know for a fact they used to have underage employs that would freely help themselves to whatever they felt like drinking.
And whenever the residents try and talk to the owner about the parking and littering situation nothing gets done about it. They just ignore us. It is easy to say this is no big deal, but do you live across the street from the theatre? Are you a resident of the neighborhood that would be impacted by this decision?
I am not trying get my panties in a bunch about this issue, I am just trying to show the other side of the issue.
What does parking and littering have to do with liquor? This statement makes it sound like you simply have a axe to grind in general.
I've never lived across the street from Studio 35, but I grew up and lived a lot of my life on E. Como (two blocks north) and never had any problems, noise or otherwise.
For anyone who knows: When did the theatre last have a full bar?
