ARKADIN CINEMA & BAR

VHS NIGHT -- Admission Price: One VHS Tape
2025-12-18 19:00 - 22:00 (America/Chicago)
We will be playing a mystery VHS tape, and it’s up to YOU what we’ll see!

Bring in a VHS tape, and you’ll get in FREE! It can be absolutely anything — a forgotten bargain-bin B-movie, a Hollywood classic, an aerobics tape, a training video, a home movie. Anything!

But there’s an incentive to bring us something good…The crowd will choose one tape to watch with the crowd, and if your VHS gets picked, you get a free tab for the night!

We collect tapes up until 7 pm sharp, and everyone gets to make a case for the tape they brought! After that, we count up the votes and watch the winning tape.
