SIFF Cinema Uptown

Let me be clear. The theater itself is amazing, best theater in Seattle by a mile. The popcorn is the worst thing I have ever willingly allowed to enter my digestive system. It uses coconut oil instead of butter which is nice if you’re vegan (and willing to ingest something that smells like BO), but for everyone else it does nothing but produce misery for the world. It should be mentioned that there is no alternative non-vegan popcorn, so unless you are able to sneak in a full bag of popcorn your options are starvation or masochism. If this theater changed the popcorn it would be the best theater in Washington and my exclusive choice. So if it ever changes don’t even consider other theaters just go here.

Great obscure screenings that you won't find in mainstream theaters.

Just horrible. Let’s show muppet Christmas carol but not allow children. 6 adults had our vax cards but 2 little ones aren’t vaxed yet. Stopped us at the door. Kids in tears. And the thing is, they didn’t even look at our cards, just glanced. Then they went in the theater and started kicking out other families they had let in. Saw 2 groups kicked out. What a joke. Filthy place anyway, stay away.

This was my first time visiting the SIFF Cinema. My son has volunteered here over the past few years. I really like supporting establishments of this type. This theater has a very good comforting feel, not pushy like the big chain theaters. The food & drink menu prices are very good. The chairs are comfortable with a rocking style back, they are also clean. The restrooms were clean and all amenities were fully stocked. I LOVE that parking is INCLUDED!! Seems like all the inner Seattle theaters charge parking, but not the SIFF. They have a very good membership program. I plan on driving down fro Everett on more viewings at the SIFF Cinema in Queen Anne.
