Reagan said the company had wanted to build a Flix location in Oklahoma, but the state’s rigid liquor laws initially prevented their concept from being introduced here. “We’re making the real deal, not watered down (beer).” “We’re a real craft brewery,” noted Reagan. The menu features a wide choice of appetizers, pizzas, wraps and salads, burgers and sandwiches, entrees, kid offerings, desserts and candy, soda pop and other beverages, along with wine, cocktails and Flix-brewed beer from IPAs to Scottish ales.

He said the 30-or-so dine-in-theaters in the Dallas-Fort Worth metroplex are “beating the pants off” more traditional movie theaters in terms of box-office gross and attendance.
