Best of Boston

Beverly’s answer to the Kendall Square Cinema is as funky as it is friendly. The diverse roster of screenings (don’t take that plurality literally—only one movie at a time is shown here) includes everything from second-run films to indies. Service is swift and conversational (most of this crowd is local), and tickets are a bargain at $6. Sick and tired of South Patch Kids? There’s a small café serving coffee, tea, and pastries.
