PHOENIX (3TV / CBS 5) – A fun outdoor area in downtown Phoenix with local food trucks, a beer garden, outdoor movies, and fitness classes is now open. Pemberton PHX, named for the historic Pemberton House, is a common space for various local businesses to dine and have fun outdoors during the COVID-19 pandemic. The popular Phoenix FilmBar, which had to close its doors to its indoor theater, will find its new permanent home here and offers outdoor screenings of cult classics, fan favorites and indie films. “We knew that our fans weren’t comfortable watching movies inside,” said Andrea Canales, film programmer at Phoenix FilmBar. “For us, we wanted to continue this community that we have built up for 10 years.” The outdoor FilmBar has a huge projection screen, seating at social distance and heating when it gets cool. Canales said they are still working on their summer plans and that they may need to get creative in the heat. FilmBar is celebrating its 10th anniversary this week. Guests can purchase tickets for their screenings on their website and rent the screen for a private tour. With your exercise in this outdoor play area, food and drink from local places like Dino’s Pizza and Abnormal Beer Company will come soon with even more options. Take a stroll on the wellness meadow for fitness classes like HIIT and yoga. Fitness classes are taught by local trainers and start at 11:30 am on Saturdays. Reservations are required for fitness classes and can be made here. Pemberton PHX is located at 1121 N. 2nd Street, directly across from Margaret T. Hance Park and is open Wednesday through Sunday from 11:00 AM. For more information, please visit pembertonphx.com Copyright 2021 KPHO / KTVK (KPHO Broadcasting Corporation). All rights reserved.
