On the industrial fringe near the East River in Williamsburg, Brooklyn, indieScreen (289 Kent Ave.; 347-227-8030; IndieScreen.us) brings a Euro-style moviegoing experience to the local intelligentsia, with a 93-seat theater fused with a contemporary bar/restaurant scene. A joint venture between the executive director of the Brooklyn Film Festival and a Thai-food restaurateur, the cinema offers menus that echo the IFC-worthy programming: haute dogs, spiced popcorn, and other twists on classic Americana fare -- plus tapas, veggie options, and enough global beers, wines, and fruit-based cocktails to make the rare clunker of a film seem Oscar-worthy.
