This weekend I attended the ribbon cutting event for the grand opening for the new entertainment megaplex the Emagine Theater and Star Lanes Bowling Alley located on the northeast corner of 11 Mile Rd and Main St. in Royal Oak, MI. Let me just say that this joint is a beast! This 71,000 square foot complex offers you all that you could imagine for your entertainment pleasures. It offers 1700 plush high-backed seats with leg space to die for (no more stepped on toes…lol) in 10 state of the art theaters equipped with digital projections, a few bars, a huge concession stand, a restaurant, 16 bowling lanes with four being located in the High Roller Room, which is designed for private family or business events that also features a pool table, shuffle board and a bar to name a few of the amenities. Believe me this place has been thought out to offer you the best in upscale entertainment.
The event was also a charity function for Judson Center and Gleaners Community Food Bank, but I got to say the food for the event was amazing with delicacies that would rival an Oscar party’s menu from chefs that will be on hand to cook for future functions held there. And although I’m not a drinker, the bar will be a major financial bonus for the venue. A movie, bowling and drinks….Oh My!!!
Oh and parking is not a problem any more because they have a 400 cars hi-rise parking structure that offers free parking before 6pm. Being that it’s right outside the Detroit belt, this will be convenient for people with limited transportation because the plaza is bus route accessible. Officially opening May 16, 2011, I strongly encourage that you go and visit this new entertainment venue, trust me you will be amazed and will thoroughly enjoy the experience. In the words from Nicki Minaj’s song, The Emagine Theater and Star Lanes just ‘doo doo’d’ on all the other movie theaters…..LOL
