Detroit microcinema featuring bar, continuous movies opens soon in former Lost River space

Watch movies with a drink and food at Detroit's newest microcinema, Fourth Wall.

Fourth Wall will show movies with the sound on continuously in a space designed to be casual and communal. A soft open is planned for Nov. 16.

The film-focused space at 15421 Mack Ave. will also feature several partnerships and collaborations, including food from Gajiza Dumplins on Thursdays through Sundays and double features from nonprofit Cinema Lamont on Sundays. A full cocktail bar will also be available upstairs at the sister bar, Apartment Disco.

Owners Matt Mergener and Kar Green plan to expand the bar and programming with community screenings, festivals, guest speakers, and more next year.
