Theatre Box encompasses one city block at Fifth Avenue and G Street. The73,000-square-foot entertainment complex is a collaboration between TCL Chinese Theatre in Hollywood and Sugar Factory, a family restaurant famous for its sweets and large confections.
The first phase of Theatre Box unveiled TCL Chinese Theatre’s first luxury dine-in cinema, Sugar Factory confections, retail, gelato bar and café, Sugar Factory American Brasserie and Chocolate Lounge.
As you step inside, the perimeter of the opulent venue is lined with the traditional hand and foot imprints honoring celebrities. This is a longstanding tradition of TCL Chinese Theatre in Hollywood, California.
Cannon’s Wild ‘N Out Sports Bar and Arcade will open in the second phase of the Theatre Box development, as will Pitbull’s Ilov 305 Rooftop Top Bar & Garden. These eateries are slated to open in 2019.
