Banko Cinema and ice rink
ArtsQuest’s Frank Banko Alehouse Cinemas at ArtsQuest Center, 101 Founders Way, recently installed new 4K projectors, which provide four times the resolution quality of standard high definition.
Images appear sharper, colors are more vibrant, and scenes “come to life with remarkable realism,” according to an Artsquest news release last week.
“With the recent upgrade in picture quality, lighting and screening equipment, the Frank Banko Alehouse Cinemas provide an experience like never before,” it said.
Patrons have the option of bringing preferred food and beverages into the theater or can go early to its first-floor restaurant, Palette & Pour.
It features live performances during dinner, dessert and drinks Thursdays through Sundays starting at 6 p.m.
Half-off Mondays at the Ice Rink at SteelStacks will be held through Dec. 9. ArtsQuest avails the rink to the public for birthday parties and private events.
