Originally owned by Gary Nilsen and Mike Allgire (with help from the HLS Business Development Company), and the Cinema & Brew was located right next to Haverty’s Furniture and the Pet Supermarket (formerly Spec’s Music at the time). HLS also helped book a mix of first-run and second-run films into its lineup.
Lakeland’s Cinema & Brew originally housed 250 seats, a large 20ft screen, 35mm projection, stereo sound, and a satellite television system that shows music videos, sports, and sometimes closed-circuit concerts and fights between films.
The Cinema & Brew was also located across the street from the former Lakeland Drive-In, which had closed less than two months before the Cinema & Brew’s opening.
