Phenomenal place. My favorite movie theater in the world, and truly one a unique and wonderful piece of Milwaukee culture. Don't sleep on the popcorn with real butter!

Best theater in Milwaukee. So nicely remodeled, even though not fully finished. It is a great unique place to watch movies. Also they do have special old movie screenings that are worth it.

Where is parking available near the oriental theater? Should be on your website.

Philip Cohen | Jan 30, 2020
Caitlin Weiss | Jan 31, 2020

Unfortunately there is limited parking near the Oriental theater. Street parking is usually your best bet otherwise there are small parking lots within walking distance such as the parking lot outside Beans and Barley. However, unless you get lucky you will most likely need to park and walk a bit to get to the theater. But it's definitely worth it.

Do you offer gift cards?

Carla Reetz | Jan 30, 2020
Oriental Theatre (Owner) | Jan 31, 2020

Hi Carla! We do not (yet) have online gift card purchases. But we do offer gift certificates in the theater itself - 2 tickets and a popcorn for $25!
