The Tuck Room at iPic Miami
Picked by Nancy Kumpulainen, Art Director
“I recently visited the new Tuck Room (tucked within the iPic theater) in North Miami Beach. I love the vibe! The unique atmosphere with beautiful work by local artists blended with the artful interior is the perfect backdrop for a place that offers bespoke cocktails and delicious bites. I recommend the spicy tuna hand roll to start, as well as, of course, the truffle fries. The roasted snapper was very tasty as our main course. The Tuck Room offers several handmade cocktails on tap including the yummy “lookbetternaked” margarita. Plus, they have a sugarcane press, which they juice on the spot for those fabulous mojitos they make! We then headed off to watch a movie. We were totally spoiled with the comfortable amenities in the theater. The entire experience was wonderful, and I highly recommend it for a night out for cocktails, dinner and a movie!”

iPic Miami
Picked by Mandy Wynne, Production Manager
“Go for the movies, stay for the craft cocktails, or vice versa! Before a recent experience, the word “iPic” brought to mind a 3D cinematic adventure of average quality — boy, was I wrong! In reality, my first iPic visit was a real eye-opener: a premium setting, predominantly with the most comfortable reclining chairs that you can imagine. At full recline, snuggled up with a warm, fleecy blanket (that was provided along with accompanying pillow), I watched the movie “Dirty Grandpa” —which was hilarious by the way! The wait staff, appropriately named “Ninjas,” crept quietly between rows, offering complimentary popcorn and supplying the patrons with delicious, craft cocktails and other tasty treats from the adjoining “Tuck Room.” The only downside to the experience was that I had to crawl out of my cozy space and drive home. I’ve now been completely spoiled by iPic. Cinema-going will never be the same for this movie lover!”
