Maxwell’s homey environment makes it the perfect backdrop for a movie night, watch party, or performance – from pop-up stand-up comedy sets by Ronny Chieng to Presidential Debate watch parties with Open to Debate to movie nights with Cinema Maxwell has every setup you need.

Where Viewing Becomes an Experience

There's something magical about watching together. Maxwell transforms the solitary act of screen time into communal celebration. Whether you're gathering for award shows, sports championships, or film premieres, our spaces adapt to create the perfect viewing atmosphere.

We've learned that the best watch parties happen when people feel at home. That's why our custom upholstered furniture invites guests to settle in for the long haul. Our hand-painted wallpaper creates intimacy even when excitement fills the room. And our fully equipped kitchens mean you can create the perfect intermission spread.

Built for Every Kind of Viewing

Cinema Maxwell brings the magic of movie nights to life. Picture settling into our Grand Room with its soaring ceilings and vintage lighting, transformed into an intimate screening room where every seat feels like the best seat in the house. From indie film premieres to classic movie marathons, Cinema Maxwell creates moments that streaming at home simply can't match.

For sports watch parties, we understand that energy matters. Our spaces can accommodate everything from intimate Premier League morning celebrations—complete with full English breakfast service—to raucous Super Bowl parties where the entire house pulses with excitement.

The Perfect Setup for Every Screen

Maxwell's flexible AV setup means we can create the exact viewing experience you envision. Single screen for focused viewing, multiple screens for events that demand different angles, or even picture-in-picture for those moments when you can't choose between the game and the halftime show.

Theatre-style seating for formal screenings? We've got you covered. More luxurious lounge setups for casual viewing? That's our specialty. Standing room configurations for events where the energy needs to stay high? Consider it done.

From Comedy to Commentary

Pop-up stand-up comedy sets transform Maxwell into an intimate comedy club where every guest feels like they're part of the show. Our acoustics were designed to make every laugh, every pause, every perfectly timed punchline land exactly as intended.

Presidential Debate watch parties with Open to Debate turn Maxwell into a salon where political discourse meets sophisticated hospitality. These aren't just viewing parties—they're opportunities for meaningful conversation, where the real discussion happens during commercial breaks and continues long after the cameras stop rolling.

Technology That Disappears

Maxwell's AV infrastructure is designed to work seamlessly in the background. Clean sight lines, perfectly calibrated sound, and lighting that adapts to whatever you're watching. Whether you're hosting a film premiere or a casual movie night, our technology supports your content without becoming the focus.

We've hosted everything from intimate documentary screenings to large-scale product launches, and we've learned that the best viewing experiences happen when the technology disappears and the content comes alive.

More Than Just Watching

What makes Maxwell special isn't just our screens—it's our understanding of how shared viewing creates connection. Since our opening in April of 2023 we've hosted numerous events, including a Chanel Photoshoot, CAA's Tony's Party, Tommy Hilfiger, The New York Times, Andy Roddick & One White Street, Spotify, Netflix, Anna Wintour with Jonathan Cohen, Matt Damon with Elevate to name a few—each event proving that Maxwell knows how to transform passive viewing into active engagement.

Our kitchens become gathering points during intermissions. Our multiple spaces allow for pre-show cocktails and post-screening discussions. Our curated atmosphere ensures that every viewing party feels like an event worth attending.
