The New Beverly Cinema is one of those places every movie lover should experience at least once. The atmosphere is incredibly nostalgic, and it feels like stepping into a piece of Hollywood history. The concessions were also surprisingly affordable. It's refreshing to visit a theater where snacks and drinks don't feel outrageously overpriced. read more

Unmatched selection of classics and lesser known gems. I saw an IB Technicolor print of Cinderella here recently having last seen the film in the 1981 rerelease as a child. We brought our nephews and nieces. They were a little bit like whatever (our niece, 4, the most into it) but the adults, myself included -- sobbing. What a powerful experience - what a milestone. A real bookend moment. Glad it happened at the New Bev. They also screened a dead end kids flick here recently and I hope they do a series. Michael (perhaps the manager?) is especially kind. read more

Amazing experience. A movie theatre with new release and classic films (I.e. 35 mm) that are curated with the film era in mind. Top notch entertainment and snacks at affordable prices. Takes me back to a time I rode my Mongoose to the theatre at the Battlefield Mall in Springfield, Missouri on a summer day, dump my bike somewhere beside the building so I could smoke a Marlboro Red, met my best friend, rolled the box up in my sleeve and watched a Charles Bronson flick two or three times in a day. read more

Great first time experience! Came to see "True Romance"(most romantic movie EVER!) at a Friday midnight showing. Front of house, ladies room & theater were all VERY CLEAN. Seats were comfortable, film print was soft and lovely to behold. First off: parking. No lot, but we arrived for 11:15pm doors opening at 11 and were rewarded with an off hours meter right out front. Then, lined up behind other early patrons, behind the sign stating ONE LINE. Whether you've pre-purchased tix online, or will purchase at box office, each guest goes in one at a time with an issued BO ticket stub. FAB! Greeted and welcomed warmly by staff. LOVED that the manager came up to the front on a mic and spoke a bit about the theater and the formats then announced house rules: cell phones away, no conversations, be a decent human. (I may have added the 3rd, but that was the gist.) Previews were curated to align with "True Romance" - SO COOL! We were treated to the original theater trailers for "Bandlands"(1973), "Bonnie & Clyde"(1967) and "Wild at Heart"(1990). Seats were comfy, traditional, OG movie theater seats. Plush fabric on padding - no reclining here! Our seats in the front row were a perfect distance to the screen and we thoroughly enjoyed "our movie." We have multiple formats and release of this Tony Scott(RIP) film from a Quentin Tarantino/Roger Avary(uncredited) script, but NOTHING beats the "pops", "hits" and beautiful colors of 45mm film. New Beverly Cinema is proud of their (Mr. Tarantino's) collection and lovingly share many awesome classics at a very fair price. I've previously purchased merch (Rick Dalton & international release version "Resevoir Dogs" shirts) for Hubs from their website and we've been happy with the quality of everything. Tonight, I was a bit disappointed they weren't carrying "True Romance" shirts, but that's okay, '...usually, that's the way it goes, but every once in awhile, it goes the other way too.' Cheers!

An absolutely phenomenal venue to see your favorite film or a new discovery of cinema. It transports you back in time to when 35mm was the standard and audiences didn't look at their phone at chat. Great snack bar with staples and fun treats. Lots of street parking in area. Lines can be a bit much but they move quickly and the bathroom is small but people try to be efficient. Can't wait to return! read more

Awesome Going to the New Beverly Cinema is just an awesome experience. It's an experience made for people who love and celebrate going to the movies. The employees are all incredibly friendly. The concession prices are from the 90s. It's not a massive counter, but they have a lot of good options, including some neat QT merch. All movies are shown on film, and they emphasize the importance of staying off your phone and being quiet. Which is rare nowadays so it's something that I certainly appreciate. The only negative is the seats are a bit small so if it's a packed theater, it can get a little tight depending on where you're sitting, but it's not enough to keep me away. read more

I forgot what an old school movie theater felt like. So glad we make the trip to see the Jack Nicholson film The Passenger. You get old school tickets and no seats are reserved.

I saw Point Break here on Saturday July 19, 2025, with my mom, and my friend and her mom. This theater really took me back to my childhood... If you don't show up early, you might not get to sit next to your crew, good popcorn that doesn't cost as much as your mortgage, and no phones! It was great! I highly recommend seeing a movie on FILM here! (Side note: I saw Point Break in the theater as a kid. And it was exciting to see that a bunch of people at the New Beverly had not seen it before!) read more

Came for a friend's premier of the movie "The Dead Things" and had a superb time! Obviously this theater is an LA staple, but this was my first time here! I loved the previews from old school films. They took us to a different time and it was refreshing to watch the animated short film ahead of the feature as well! Having classic previews lead up to the very dark, modern feature presentation took me on a time capsule through eras of filmmaking, and being among others who obviously shared a love for the craft was as refreshing as the films! The Dead Things was intriguing on many levels, with real modern tropes tapping into the supernatural world. There's enough open context in the end for you to craft your own ideas of what happened with the protagonist, but enough story for you to feel you're not lost. Haha. Clean bathrooms. Lovely staff. Beautiful entrance. And dope attendees (I left my keys in the boathroom and nobody stole them. Yay humanity) Will return read more

This is pure cinema at its ultimate! This ain't no multi plex boys and girls! This is film (cinema) at its core -- before most of you were even born! A national monument for what Hollywood used to be like. The New Beverly is where you can revisit how movies were shown. Small, intimate and refurbished to its hey day by master filmmaker, fanatic, and a cinema philanthropist Quentin Tarantino. A beautiful place of worship for any cinephile! Experience the way movies of their heyday were meant to be seen -- on full 35mm film!! Hear the wiiiirrr of the two powerful film projectors as pure cinema is meant to be seen. Order your tickets online as they average about $10-$15 tix a pop. Be sure to come early to get good seats, fresh popcorn and concessions, and park somewhere in the neighborhood. This is the #1 tip! Beware of where you park!! -- bc park meter thugs will get you! Plan to prepare. Besides that it's a fabulous and great experience--and who knows, you may bump into the man who made it happen -- QT himself! See you at the movies! ;-) read more

I feel like this was a bucket list place to visit and I'm so glad we got the chance to last night. My friend and I headed over to see a screening of Nosferatu after a movie premiere we were supposed to go to got canceled. This was an amazing alternative! The movie theatre is very cute and the staff is super friendly. Also, the ticket prices are great -- I think I paid $13 for a ticket, which seems very reasonable considering how much of a great experience it is, that it's Tarantino's theatre, and that they only show film movies there. The quality of the film movie was fantastic. I really appreciate the art in showing only film movies. They also played a 15 minute Looney Toons cartoon and old film trailers before the movie started which really set the tone. The last thing that put this theatre in the god-tier zone was their announcement against phones in the beginning. Wow, I wish every theatre did this! As you all probably know, it's actually hell seeing a movie these days. Everyone is so disrespectful on their phones, talking, etc. The staff took the time before the screening to say that they have a very strict no-phone policy and that you will be banned if it comes out. Also, no talking until after the movie. What I especially loved about this announcement, was how they emphasized that it's an insult to art to distract from the movie in these ways which is SO true. It was a great experience and I hope to come back next time I'm in Hollywood. read more

This place ticks so many boxes for me. A strict no cellphone and no talking policy. Reasonably priced concessions. Curated trailers, cartoons, and snipes before the show. Audio piped into the restrooms so you don't miss too much. Everything shown on real, genuine film. Digital projection is technically better in every way. It's brighter, more reliable, cleaner. But there's something about physical film that hits different, as the kids say. It's imperfect, organic, and reminds me of the good ol' days at my shitty local multiplex in the 90s. I wouldn't want it any other way. Today I got to see an original 1959 Technicolor print of Hitchcock's North By Northwest. A digitally restored version was also playing a few miles away, but it felt special to see this artifact from the film's original release 66 years ago. It had a few rough spots, but the colors were just as vibrant as the day it was made. Sharing this experience with people who actually care about what they're watching was a joy. The New Bev is small, and the seating is just okay. There's not much of a slope, so tall people in front of you can be annoying. Parking is challenging. But their dedication to the art of cinema makes every visit worthwhile. There's something for everyone on the schedule. I never liked the modern moviegoing experience, mostly because humans suck and cell phones have made our behavior much worse. The New Bev isn't perfect, but it's the antidote. We need it now more than ever. read more

This is the REAL DEAL. Quentin Tarantino's theater. Retro theater from 50+ years ago, 35mm film, 2 carbon-arc projectors switching at "Q" marks every 20 minutes. You can't tell, because it's well done. This theater has respect for great old films, and the customers--many--are all into the whole thing. This is the place to go----and they don't pressure us to guilt tip. read more

Finding parking is terrible and no refunds are given. They tried to accommodate with a showing at another date but still doesn't solve the issue of trying to find parking. Better off not buying your tickets online and just going in person. read more

Every true cinephile in Los Angeles must see a film at New Beverly at least once. Owned by the fiercest of movie lovers, it's a classic, modest space truly celebrating the joy of cinema. My first film there was "Once Upon A Time...In Hollywood", a perfect experience. I was also there for the William Smith tribute double feature in November 2021. I wasn't sure how often QT actually shows up to introduce films - or if he ever does - but I felt there was a strong chance of him appearing at the William Smith double bill to shout the title of one of the films as many times as he could get away with it. The merch and movie snacks available at the cinema are delightful. At one of the screenings I attended, they offered Dr. Enuf - I haven't had a Dr. Enuf since I was in my hometown in Tennessee! Though parking in the area is tricky (and sometimes dangerous at night), there are plenty of good spots nearby for a pre- or post-show dinner: Bludso's BBQ on La Brea, and El Coyote right down the street from the cinema. Follow them on Instagram to be updated nearly daily of their upcoming screenings. Even if you've seen a favourite film a hundred times, it's a special experience to see it at New Beverly. read more

Amazing theater. Love it so much. Great staff etc. it's a bunch of fun. Midnight shows are my faves.

This is a great, nostalgic theater for the self- proclaimed movie buff! If you are expecting this place to be a commercial, high tech theater then this place is not be for you. What you can expect at the New Beverly Cinema are movies played on its original 35 mm film projected on a teeny tiny screen. With that being said, try to get a seat up close! My date and I made the mistake of grabbing seats closer to the back to avoid neck strain, but we were quick to regret our choices. The seats are not set up on much of an adequate incline so half the screen was obstructed by the guy's head in front of me. It was my first time seeing "My Bloody Valentine" so it kind of killed it for me. No pun intended. The seats are pretty close together and cushions have lost its firmness from decades of butts. The people you'll meet at the New Beverly are all friendly and share a common bond- the love of great cinema. I think the average patron goes for the experience and not the "high quality". You may expect a long wait at the concession stand since it is very small. The line extended all the way into the theater. We went to a midnight screening and parking was easy to find on the residential street. I didn't use the restrooms, but my date did and he said they had recently upgraded! I'll take that as a good sign. Many great photo opportunities here, if you're into that thing! read more

----- Thumbs-Up ----- The renovation they did is terrific. The bathrooms aren't any bigger (that would have been a hard trick to pull off), but they're clean, modern, and have toilet stall doors that swing open/closed in the correct direction. ----- Thumbs-Down ----- The HVAC system turns on & off periodically, and you can hear it in the theater during the movie. They still employ celluloid-only technology, thanks to Mr. T's fetish for that format. Expect some prints to feature washed-out colors, scratches galore, and hairs-in-the-gate. The things some people romanticize! read more

Every time we come here the experience and staff are excellent, the movies are usually some of our favorite movies and to see it in a movie theatre that is reminiscent of a time when movies of that era, the films are projected from actual film which gives an even better and more uniques feel and viewing. We look forward to every time we come here. read more

This place is like stepping into a time machine -- if time machines smelled like buttered popcorn and happiness. The seats are old-school, the lights are dim in the perfect way, and the staff actually seem to like movies (shocking, I know). No giant recliners or $12 sodas here -- just classic vibes, good popcorn, and people who actually watch the movie instead of texting through it. Honestly, it's the kind of theater that makes you wish every place was still like this. 10/10, would trade every megaplex in town for this gem. read more

Such a remarkably unique cinema experience! First and foremost, the staff was great. The film selection is vast and stunning. I love the concept of film-only pictures being shown. It's genuinely amazing, and I appreciate it as a cinema/movie fanatic. My favorite aspect is the traditional ticket stub you receive upon purchasing your ticket! Such a great atmosphere all throughout. It's worth it!! read more

I have mixed feelings about New Beverly, I have been here on and off during the years because it might be one of the last few theaters in town that show movies on 35 mm (before and after Tarantino bought it). Parking - get there early to hunt a spot on the street. Ticket prices- OK. The selection for double features and guests used to be better. It used to be more laid back, over time it turn more hipster-ish, a cool place to be seen. The seating is not the best, after a double feature you are in need of a yoga class LOL. Decent option overall for older movies and cinephiles in LA! read more

Have not visited the New Beverly Cinema since Tarantino took over, but I always loved going to the cheap double features. The theatre needed some serious TLC at that time (mid 2000's) Hopefully soon I will visit the updated theater to see the improvements if any. read more

To sit in a theater that dates back to the 1920's and is owned by none other than Quentin Tarantino, one of cinema's best to ever do it...and have films shown on 35 mm *insert mind blown emoji here.* In an era where watching a movie is just a click away on television, I appreciated the nostalgic feel. It definitely felt more than just going to the theater. It felt like an experience, especially considering we decided to do a midnight screening of True Romance, from Tarantino's personal collection. *insert another mind blown emoji here.* Seating is first come first serve. We purchased our tickets in advance and arrived about 20 mins before which allowed plenty of time to find free street parking, grab our delicious popcorn, hotdog, and m&m's. Also, when I say delicious I mean like wow, DELICIOUS. Not sure if it was the butter or the fact that the concessions felt so reasonably priced, but it was so incredible that I had sweet dreams of the popcorn for days to come. *insert drooling emoji here.* I enjoyed that the previews played before the movie are classic film previews that relate with the current movie you are about to watch. These are also previews that for me, I was too young to ever experience and films that I now look forward to watching here. Also rather than having a typical AMC preview that talks about turning off your phone, it was an actual employee who went to the front, engaged the audience, asked who was a newbie, and told people of the no cellphone policy. They even did a cool raffle with the ticket stubs and gave prizes such as sunglasses and a skateboard. Talk about customer appreciation! I haven't been to the movie theaters in what feels to be at least 2 years, but this place, wow. It's a place all movie lovers should experience. I absolutely loved the retro feel and the small intimate setting. You are surrounded by people alike who love movies and want to step back to see a classic. We are definitely going to make it a point to go back and bring our friends to experience this. A double feature is in my future. Tip: Follow their IG page to get their monthly movie showings and check when they get post screening discussions. read more

Going to the movies is not something I normally do when traveling, but my brother had expressed interest in seeing a film at the New Beverly while we were in LA. Being someone who loves movies and seeks out art houses and venues that elevate the viewing experience, I did a little research and immediately got excited to see a film here. New Beverly is one of the oldest movie houses in LA. Comprising of a single screen, it shows a variety of vintage films and specials. Since 2007, the Beverly has been owned by Quentin Tarantino, and I heard he has a heavy hand in the programming. The Beverly's motto is "always on film", meaning that they do not show any films digitally - it's all the real deal. Their schedule is posted a few weeks in advance, and we were able to catch a showing of Sergio Leone's spaghetti western The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly. I would definitely recommend purchasing tickets in advance - we got there about 45 minutes before showtime and were greeted by a line, so there's a risk of the show being sold out if you don't get advance tickets. Seating is on a first come, first served basis, and they have a concession stand that has an excellent variety of snacks. Additionally, they have a selection of Beverly merch for purchase. There is no dedicated parking, but we had luck finding a spot on a block adjacent to the theater. The staff was great, everything from check in to concessions was seamless. Overall, I had an excellent experience at the Beverly; I felt very much at home here - this is the kind of moviegoing I gravitate towards and I would definitely look into their showings the next time I'm in LA. read more

This once was my favorite independent theatres in all of LA, unfortunately the last two visits were not so great. No fault of the staff but really of the crowd, theres has been this uptick in obnoxious laughter that both crowds took part in my last two visits. When guests are laughing over important dialogue its just as interruptive if not more than someone talking or being on their phones. Would love for this to be adressed during the intro before the pre show! read more

I went to New Beverly Cinema last night to attend the screening of American Badass: A Michael Madsen Retrospective, as well as to see actor Michael Madsen in-person. I enjoyed both the documentary and the post-screening conversation with Michael Madson, director Dominique Milano, and the moderator. Michael Madsen and Dominique Milano were kind enough to chat with fans, sign autographs, and take photos throughout the night. I had a great time and hope to have more similar experiences while at the theater in the future. I really like the programming at the New Beverly Cinema. It's a great neighborhood theater. It's a plus to see special guests at some of their screenings. There is a great sense of community at the theater. read more

Cool revival theater owned by Quentin Tarantino. They frequently show his films as well as a lot of other content (mostly older/classic films). We actually saw a new release here (Licorice Pizza) but I think that's pretty rare. Follow them on social media for the latest updates and upcoming calendar. TIPS: ~Buy tickets in advance online. ~Arrive early to get in line. There's no assigned seating so it helps to be early. ~Buy your snacks/drinks early because the line gets really long closer to showtime. ~Make sure you read their current vaccination policy. They are checking vaccine cards at the door. Not sure if they will accept a test, you'll have to check. + The concession stand was awesome. Very affordable plus great options. They have hot dogs (regular and vegan) plus White Castle burgers! I used to devour White Castle growing up in New Jersey so it's very nostalgic for me. They also have a bunch of specialty sodas, Topo-Chico mineral water, and tea/coffee. No beer, sorry. + The staff were all so friendly. My boyfriend took forever to find to find his vaccine card and they were really cool and patient about it. - It was FREEZING in the theater. They could have pumped some heat in there to ensure the audience was comfortable. - No parking lot. I read that some people struggled with parking so we splurged on an Uber to avoid the anxiety. I can't personally attest to the parking difficulties but if you search the reviews, there are notes from the manager offering parking tips. read more

So much fun, I'll be there at least once a week. Anyone want to join me.... Two of my favorite love stories playing on the big screen in the movie house of old, 'Bonnie and Clyde' and 'True Romance'. These 2 movies, I have watched over and over starting from the TV set, to VHS to DVD. What a treat to go back in time and sit in a movie house that would have been the location to see them when they were first released. I loved how the movie usher man came down and gave us an introduction to the movies we were about to see, interacted with the audience and then proceeded to give us the best rules of our lives...no cell phones, no talking. Perfect. Jeff was so kind as to send me next door for a tasty burger, the Swiss cheeseburger. Thank you Jeff, yes it was quite tasty. read more

This is a must-visit if you're a fan of film history. The programming is curated very well. This includes the previews, which are usually selected to match the theme, director, or time period of the feature attraction, and only rarely to advertise upcoming screenings. Staff is friendly and attentive, tickets and concessions are reasonably priced, and the merch is imaginative. All movies are projected from film prints, instead of digitally. Some (but by no means all) of the older prints show signs of age, which I think is charming. read more

Haters gonna hate, ainters gonna aint. In this time of corporate greed and commercialization of every creative impulse this place shines with virtue and is a wholesome reminder of how the movies became a big deal in the first place. Not the best technology or the biggest names (well maybe occasionally) but pure unadulterated storytelling. I once had the good fortune to attend a Friday matinee showing of my favorite movie which happens to be very slightly-underappreciated or not mainstream popular and a bit dark, delicious--The Talented Mr. Ripley. And it was sold out. At 2 pm. On a weekday. I've watched other at home more than a hundred times but to watch it in a room full of others and find humor in unexpected places, gasps from first timers which reminded me of when I first realized where the beautiful story had started taking us, crammed into bare minimum quality seating which was just suitable enough for me to forget about myself for a couple hours and to be enveloped by the beauty of sundrenched coastal Italian landscapes before the darkness of human depravity stole the show... is something more precious than money can buy. I am grateful this humble monument to film is in my neighborhood and I am grateful for their delicious real butter topped popcorn. read more
