Get Cozy With Fireside Films at Rooftop Cinema Club

San Diego’s most popular outdoor cinema is unveiling something special this winter. Rooftop Cinema Club Fireside Films is transforming their prime seating area with two-person loveseats, each warmed by dedicated wood-burning heaters.

Just picture yourself cuddled up under the stars, sipping on a complimentary warm drink—choose from rich Ghirardelli hot cocoa, freshly steeped coffee, spiced cider, or soothing tea.

Rooftop Cinema Club Fireside Films

Your Ultimate Holiday Movie Experience

Every evening showing after 5 PM gets the cozy Fireside Films treatment, though early birds catching shows between 5 PM and 8 PM can still snag traditional Adirondack seats if they’re feeling old school.

Weekend nights after 8 PM? That’s when things get extra dreamy. The whole venue transforms into an exclusive Fireside Films paradise with super-limited seating for maximum intimacy.

December’s lineup includes Elf, Love Actually, The Holiday, It’s A Wonderful Life, and, yes, Die Hard (because some traditions are worth fighting for).

The winter movie magic starts December 5 and runs through December 31 at the Rooftop Cinema Club, perched atop the Manchester Grand Hyatt.

Grab your tickets starting at $11 to $20 for daytime shows before 5 PM, $21 to $30 for evening shows from 5 PM to 8 PM, and $30 for those extra special weekend Fireside Films shows after 8 PM. Bring the whole family for daytime screenings, while evening shows are perfect for teens and adults 13 and up.

Weekend Fireside Films are an 18+ affair. Pro tip: Fireside Films seats come in pairs only, so grab your favorite movie buddy and book your spot here.

See you there, San Diego!
