Cinemart is a full-service movie theater showing all the latest releases just like any major chain. Ticket prices are also far more reasonable than chain theaters. As of May 2026, a regular ticket is $13 compared to $22 at Regal UA Midway on Queens Blvd. You can buy tickets and pick your seats online. Concessions are similarly well-priced, at $15 for a large popcorn and drink. The popcorn was fresh and not overly salty, and they have a melted butter dispenser. The leather seats are comfortable and spacious, and the theater felt very clean and well-maintained compared to some of the chain theaters I've been to. No popcorn or trash scattered over the floors and seats. Overall, Cinemart is a great place to see a new movie, support a local business, and save money while still getting a high-quality experience.

A Local Legend: Why Cinemart Cinemas is the Heart of Forest Hills…read more​If you're tired of the soul-less, overpriced experience of "Big Cinema," Cinemart Cinemas in Forest Hills is the antidote. As the oldest continuously operated theater in Queens, it manages a rare feat: it feels like a step back in time without actually feeling dated. ​Here's why this independent gem remains a neighborhood favorite: ​The Perfect Blend of Old & New ​Originally a single-screen venue, the Cinemart has evolved into a modern five-screen multiplex while keeping its historic soul intact. You get the neighborhood "mom-and-pop" vibe the moment you walk in, but you aren't sacrificing modern comforts to get it. ​The Seating: Don't let the "historic" label fool you. The theaters are packed with plush reclining seats that rival (and often beat) the major chains. ​The Atmosphere: The cafe lounge area adds a touch of class, making it a great spot to decompress before or after a film. ​Unbeatable Value ​In an era where a night at the movies can feel like a car payment, Cinemart keeps it accessible. Their pricing is famously fair, but the real "crowd-pleaser" is their free popcorn promotions. Depending on the day or the deal, getting a fresh bucket of popcorn included with your ticket is a throwback to a time when theaters actually wanted you to come back next week. ​What's Playing? ​One of the best things about Cinemart is its eclectic programming. You'll find: ​Current Blockbusters: The big hits everyone is talking about. ​Second-Run Gems: Caught a movie a few weeks late? They often host films that have finished their run at larger theaters, giving you one last chance to see them on the big screen. ​Why It Matters ​Cinemart isn't just a place to watch a movie; it's a piece of Queens' history. Supporting this theater means supporting independent cinema and a local landmark that has survived decades of industry shifts. ​Pro Tip: Check their schedule mid-week! That's often when you'll find their best "ticket + popcorn" bundles, making it the most affordable date night or family outing in the borough. ​The Verdict: If you want luxury comfort, nostalgic charm, and prices that don't make you flinch, Cinemart Cinemas is the best ticket in town.

There's a box office booth right as you walk in to the right, that isn't necessarily functional, staff directed us to purchase tickets at the digital kiosks or from the concessions counter. When I came on a Friday night it seemed there were only a few staff members around. We waited a few minutes for someone to show up at the concessions stand. At least they've renovated the seating--most of the individual theater spaces inside have recliner seating. It makes for a very comfortable viewing experience since you can raise your legs and lean back. My overall viewing satisfaction was on par with larger, newer theater buildings. There are bathrooms available, women's on the left side of the concessions area and men's on the right. There's a structure for parking directly next to the theater though street parking is also available.

I came here on Friday to see the new Ralph Fiennes film that no other theater in NY was playing! Very easy to get to. The Kew Gardens LIRR stop is right across the street. Several buses stop in the area. Along with the F and E trains. Its a very old school cinema. The prices reflect that as well. For a 2 PM Friday showing I only paid $10. That's a steal. You can either buy tickets at the concessions stand or just scan your ticket from Fandango, etc. at the concessions stand and they'll print out your ticket. You really don't need it, though. The bathrooms are to the left when you come in. Lots of stalls with a long mirror across the entire wall. Everything was fairly clean and tidy. There's also a little area before the bathroom where you can sit and wait if you're early. I was in auditorium 5 the last time I was here. Which is on the second floor. The size of the theaters are on the smaller size, but not cramped. The seats are outdated and a bit flimsy, but not uncomfortable. They don't show millions of adverts and previews like other places do. The screens expand before the movie starts. Good sound and picture. The entire place is decorated with a vintage vibe. I love it. Everyone was friendly and they dont search your purses like other places do. I will definitely be back!

It was so wonderful we went back to celebrate with his friends at Laser Bounce on July 10 which was even better. Couldn't believe it but we stayed for 6-7 hours straight. Kids had a blast in the ball pit, in the bouncy house and laser tag. 5 Kids & 3 adults enjoyed a large pizza cut into 16 slices, 4 orders of buffalo wings, an order of loaded nachos, and 2 large lemonades (no ice). Almost forgot, kids had mini melts and they were so good, we reordered 2 more near the end of the night. Our kids loved playing in the bouncy house while Ariana, Matthew & Jayden were watching our kids. Leonardo was gr We will definitely come back again this summer and create more happy memories soon. Laser Bounce definitely deserves 2 thumbs up from me!

We did arrive to see Purple Disco Machine and unfortunately we didn't know the set list earlier so we were about 2 hours early. The rooftop and venue catered to quite a young group of people tonight; however, they appeared to be well- mannered and surprisingly not on their phones. This was refreshing. We grabbed a taco at the food truck before we entered because you can't leave after you enter. Hung out and waited for the deejay. The set was very good. A lot of dancing. By this time, 230a.m. the bathrooms were disgusting. All non gender. But filthy. They should have someone do a sweep every 30 minutes; especially when they have a sold out show.. outside of that, pretty special place in Brooklyn. P.s. rooftop bartenders tonight need a class in customer service. And maybe a smile once awhile.
