We’re happy to offer our DC readers the chance to attend a free early screening of Amazon Prime Video’s The Tender Bar, starring Ben Affleck, Tye Sheridan, Lily Rabe, Daniel Ranieri, and directed by George Clooney!

SYNOPSIS: A neighborhood pub in Manhasset, Long Island, becomes a second home for a fatherless boy in The Tender Bar, a poignant and inspiring coming-of-age story directed by George Clooney. J.R. (Tye Sheridan and Daniel Ranieri), whose father disappeared from his life before he was old enough to speak, moves into his grandfather’s dilapidated house after he and his mother (Lily Rabe) once again hit hard times. Under the unconventional tutelage of his Uncle Charlie (Ben Affleck), a charismatic, self-educated bartender, and a handful of the bar’s colorful regulars, J.R. grows into a young man determined to fulfill his dream of becoming a writer in this fiercely funny and blazingly honest adaptation of J.R. Moehringer’s bestselling memoir.

The screening takes place on Tuesday, December 14th at 7:00pm at Landmark E Street. If you’d like to attend, just go to the Amazon ticketing site here. Please remember all screenings are first come first served and you’ll need to arrive early to ensure seating. Enjoy the show!

The Tender Bar opens in theaters on December 22nd, followed by Prime Video on January 7th.
