Good small theater, my only complaint would be the seats felt uncomfortable and I often found myself having to lean down to be able to rest my head

It was very beautiful, the entrance area and the murals were very beautiful artwork. Also it's a very beautiful peace of History. So I give it a 5 star for just that. 🥰😇 However, the service can really use better training in how to talk to the customers when they ask questions. It seemed like he didn't care to want to be their. He seemed more interested/:focused on what was going on with his cell phone then the customers that were coming in for their movie. 🙄 He had the "I can give a ( F*** ) attitude". 😒🤨 This was on Saturday night, July 9th, 2022. The theater chairs can really also use a makeover in comfort. The service and the comfort of the chairs brought down the ratings. The service gets zero stars and the chairs a 1 star.🥴😔 Bring the total ratings to 3 stars. I hope this information helps with improving the theater. Seeing that it is after all a piece of history and it should shine fully inside and out. 😏😉 Have a nice day!

My husband and I really love this theater. And this review is really not the theater’s fault but more of a diatribe of our decaying society. We took my dad here on Father’s Day to see Top Gun. The theater was extremely packed and we arrived later than we should. So we couldn’t sit to get her, which was totally fine. We got my dad a handicapped seat - he’s in his 70s with arthritis and then we found our own individual seats. Once the movie was over, I looked back and a young woman was sitting where we left my dad. We finally found him and he told us a woman asked him to move after 10 minutes because her mother had saved that seat for her. He then stood for 30 minutes before he got too tired and went into the lobby where the staff gave him a chair to bring back into the theater. Thanks to the staff for doing that. I still can’t comprehend how a young, fit person can take the seat of an elderly, handicapped man on Father’s Day 😢.

Quirky boutique theater with boatloads of personality. They did start the movie with the lights still on, which was pretty funny and confused everyone; but that’s the type of offbeat wackiness I look for in a place like this.

Questions & Answers

Will the front admission booth outside ever be reopened? It is classic and charming.

Marty Kiley | Aug 12, 2022
Chester Wildwood | Aug 13, 2022

They do open it on special occasions. Usually The first showing of something special. But it saves everybody of lot of time and shortens lines the way they are doing it now. I don't know about you but I don't like standing in line.

Will the balcony ever reopen? It has been closed since I was a little kid in the 70s when we lived two blocks away. I had a friend that worked there in the 80s and they said there were seats up there then, but they were broken or missing pieces.

Can you buy tickets at the door and are you likely to get in for Avenger Endgame

Genie Hagar | Aug 12, 2022
Tobmind | Aug 13, 2022

You can easily get in for endgame. I walked in and bought a ticket the week it had come out and there was no line. The theater is small and not crowded, and it's a great place and nicer than most big cinemas you can go to.

Jennifer Ferenstein | Aug 12, 2022
MLP photography | Aug 13, 2022

Yes, ill see if I can take a snapshot of it for u... Actually if u look it up on Google maps, and then look under "photos" you'll see a bunch. They can always move the entrance lane markers for the chair if it's crowded and hard to get through...very accommodating people there. (They gave me a small lesson on how to use cc viewer.)
