I finally made my first trip to Sidewalk Cinema for the Summer of Spike series and saw "Do the…read moreRight Thing". It was such a great experience from the moment I walked in. The lobby is incredibly inviting--I even noticed someone relaxing at a table, coloring, which perfectly captured the laid-back, community feel of the space. Having a bar in the lobby was a nice touch too, making it easy to grab a drink before the movie. The theater has a cozy, welcoming atmosphere that's perfect for enjoying classic and independent films on the big screen. Seeing "Do the Right Thing" in a theater setting reminded me of the genius Spike Lee is!! I'll definitely be back for more screenings.

I absolutely love Sidewalk Cinema!

I love the roomy seats and the no frills online ticket sales. There's so much to do here besides viewing the movies. You can play games, both board games and computer games, you can sip on cocktails and chat, or enjoy the themed nights offered throughout the year. I love this place so much that I may become a member! I encourage the city to please support this independent cinema. It's a nice space that we want to keep around for a very long time.

I don't usually do movie theater food because it can be pricy but this day was considered treat day. Not sure what my original order was but the young lady encouraged me to go with a combo for the popcorn corn and icee. Also, I saw a bar area, nice. The seat was comfortable but now that I know the layout of the theater, I will choose different next time. Oh and the restroom was clean, always a plus. Premiere will now be in rotation.

We left and returned on another day. Such a great theatre. I will return.

Some places you go, the shoes are in rough shape, and the counter personnel were nice and friendly. There were no problems with the lane, and around 9 p.m., they started cosmic bowling. This is always fun with all the lights. Also, we had no problem finding a parking space.

It is a beautiful and elegant venue that has been renovated over the years but kept its identity to its original state. I've attended several events here over the years, from concerts, to movies to guest speakers. My high school graduation was held here back in 1997. There are usually snacks such as popcorn available for purchase and beverages. I don't remember other food being available. The staff is always pleasant and ready to assist. Pro Tip: The seating on the lower level is much more comfy than upstairs, especially if you are hippy or curvy or just want more room. Buy your tickets keeping this in mind.

I'm not sure about prices, I didn't have any. I don't think any of the seats are bad for viewing the stage.i do think that they should invest funds into renovating or replacing the seats. The seats are short, low and small. They also do not have an elevator. Be prepared to climb many stairs if you don't purchase floor seats. They seemed to have improved the sound system, which really made the musical experience better. I thoroughly enjoyed Orchestra Noir and can't wait to see them again next year. I will definitely go back.

The staff I encountered were all nice. The restrooms were clean as well as the facility overall. Even though I didn't win, I still really had a fun time!!!!

The lanes are tucked away in the back, so you get the entire area to yourselves. One of the best parts is that you can pay a little extra to bring your own food. I definitely took advantage of that because why not? My only complaint is that 2 hours just isn't enough for a full event or party. I would suggest changing to at least 2 1/2 or 3 hours. Other than that, everything went smoothly from booking to check-in. Would definitely recommend for a fun group outing or celebration!
