      Arena Cinelounge runs an independent arthouse movie theater in Hollywood. Last December they launched Arena Cinelounge Drive-In, the first Hollywood based, nighty drive-in. It's in a non-descript parking lot behind the Egyptian Theater.

      Pre-movie experience: I tried to order the tickets from their website but the ticket ordering site was down (I tried multiple times). Luckily, I was able to order from Fandango. They texted the tickets to me. Fandango works well and the processing fee was only $1.78. Also, the Fandango tickets can be exchanged. If you order from Cinelounge, the tickets are non-refundable and non-transferrable. The price depends on the number of people in the vehicle. For 2 tickets to Godzilla vs. Kong, we paid $50 plus the Fandango fee of $1.78.

      I was surprised they started the movie pretty much on time w/o any previews or even an introduction.

      Location: It's a small parking lot in the heart of Hollywood. There was a sign on Las Palmas and someone greeted us at the entrance. The check-in was fast. We presented our tickets and were told to tune into 87.9 FM. Concessions can be ordered online and delivered to your car. There's a bathroom too. There was room for about 20 cars. I think there were two employees on site - one to check people in and the other to deliver snacks and drinks to cars.

      Concessions: They have their own line of gourmet popcorn ($8/bag) that's non-GMO, vegan and nut free, candy, cookies, and drinks (soda, LaCroix, CBD drinks). I placed an order for popcorn and it took a long time to get it even though they weren't busy. Mr. Froyo had to go ask about the popcorn. The bags are small (2 cups per bag). Curry popcorn was sweet (I thought it would be savory) but with interesting spices (e.g., cloves, coriander, cumin, turmeric, mint, fennel, anise, mustard, fenugreek, garlic, curry leaves, cayenne). Jalapeno popcorn was quite spicy. The popcorn was crisp and fresh tasting even though it was pre-packaged.

      Outside food and drink are not allowed, but they didn't check the car or ask if we brought food or drink.

      Sound/picture quality: These were okay. Our stereo worked fine. You couldn't hear anything w/o using your car stereo. Mr. Froyo thinks they should have had subtitles/closed captioning.

      In/Out: Getting in and out was easy and didn't take too much time.

      COVID-19 protocol: Cars were spaced and people are asked to stay in their cars unless they need to use the bathroom.)

      Giving these folks 5 stars because I want their business to work. It's a great location and it was super comfortable to sit outside in their big chairs and listen to movie on their wireless headphones they provided. I will say the one thing to be weary of is it is an outdoor theater in the heart of Hollywood so there will be a lot of distractions. Try to see a fun/less serious movie that you wouldn't mind having interrupted by random helicopters and fireworks.

      Was disappointed to arrive to find out it's not the rooftop like the photos on Google and there's no "cafe" like the description says. It's just an old lot on ground level, no pretty views like the photos so be aware of this when booking tickets on Las Palmas. Also, the headphones are choppy. I was in a group and we all had the same issue. I gave it 5 stars because it is an independent owner and I don't want to effect his yelp average but did want to make sure buyers know what they're paying for
