Cocktail cinema

By Jan Newberry

Tuesday night is movie night at 15 Romolo. The lights go down at 5:30 p.m., at the North Beach bar, and the first of four to five movies with a common theme—“All ‘Jack’ed Up” is a Jack Nicholson fest; “Tell Me About Your Mother” features Carrie, Mommie Dearest, Serial Mom, and The Manchurian Candidate—begins to roll. Look for movie-friendly snacks like kettle corn with a kick of ancho chili and cayenne, maple-bacon praline, and sundaes featuring Three Twins ice cream with custom toppings like peanut toffee and a shot of bourbon. 15 Romolo Place, S.F., 415-398-1359
