Café 2000 leaves no doubt about its raison d'être: peek inside to see the backs of couches all facing forward, ready for spectators to file in for the big screen. It's true! Unlike many of the "movie rooms" in Antigua, Café 2000 actually includes a big screen, occupying the entire far wall. The movie schedule is always posted in the doorway, with an average of three showings per day, and other perks wiggle their way in (such as hookahs at the bar). Oh, and by the way, every single movie is shown for free - just order something tasty from the café! Sports broadcasts are also sometimes shown on the TV.
