Philosophy-Drink-Film Series (PDF)
Our “Philosophy|Drink|Film” series combines thought-provoking films, spirited conversation, and expertly crafted cocktails. Each film in the series will be introduced by York College Professor of Philosophy Dennis Weiss and combined with a specialty cocktail mixed by Zoetropolis’ bartender and suggested by the film’s themes. Be sure to stick around after each screening to reflect on the film, sharing your insights and engaging in discussion with your fellow patrons. And, of course, enjoying your cocktails! Join us on third Thursdays at 6:30 p.m. for a lively combination of cinema, cocktails, and conversation.
