A cool space with friendly staff members. Decent popcorn. Historic elements. The neighborhood is cute, too.

Great popcorn, friendly staff, and love that they are owned and operated by Milwaukee Film. Heads up: As of just a few weeks ago, they are now cashless. Wishing this historic theater many, many more years!!

Lovely old school movie theatre in the heart of the east side! There is a tiny lobby and the screens are smaller with like 250 capacity, however they often show lots of cool indie films to new hits here. I enjoyed watching a documentary here at the film festival and watched The Batman (2022) here before. Parking is a bit of a pain if you're looking for free street parking since there's some popular restaurants nearby, but luckily there's a paid parking structure across the street if you're running late. Also easy to get to on public transit and a 10-15 min walk from Oriental Theatre if you've ever gone to the wrong theater by accident😅
