Something that grossed me out where the carpets. Goodness looks like dirt caked into the carpet. We need rug Dr in the house ASAP!!! Or at least a whole carpet removal! Used the restrooms, seemed fairly clean with the exception of a pooped toilet. I made sure to use the restroom in the fartest entrance. Prior to my visit, I had gone to see Zootopia and cannot believe how people on five dollar Tuesday treat the environment where they have wrappers on the floor and it is just pandemonium. Overall, I was rated as a B minus experience, but I really enjoyed the movie Hail Mary. Sadly, on a Tuesday the bigger theaters for $5 Dollar Tuesdays were trashed. Don't people know how to aim at the trash or know to treat other places better or similar to their own homes?

This is definitely an older theater, don't expect fully reclining seats with footrests, or…read moreanything like that. Saying that, the seats are comfortable, and the picture sound are good. The movie prices are reasonable. They do an overall good job of keeping up the theater. We came to see "back to the future", which was celebrating its 40th anniversary with a re-release on the big screen. It's a fun movie and it was great to see it on the big screen again. The way they do the tickets, is they don't have a separate ticket booth, the people who run the snack bar also sell the tickets. The problem is, when we were there, there were only two people at the snack bar, and they were selling tickets and running the snack bar at the same time. My sister ,and I waited in line over 10 minutes, and we were still quite a ways from the front of the line. I made a comment how one person should just be selling tickets, and fortunately , another person in line ahead of me heard my comment, and said that there was a ticket kiosk, and he pointed it out to me. We didn't want anything at the snack bar, so I went over to the kiosk to get our tickets, and we headed into the theater. The reason I'm taking away a star, as while it's nice to have the ticket kiosk, As happened to us, if you don't know, it's there, you will miss it. There should be something that points you to the ticket kiosk, so that you don't automatically get in line if you don't know it's there. That was a bit of an inconvenience and if we would've had to wait in that long line to buy our tickets, we would've missed the beginning of the movie. Now that we know about the kiosk, we will use it in the future. They just need to be more obvious about letting people know it's there.

A grand old art deco 1930s movie theater now in its 75th year standing but in much need of a face…read morelift. The components are all there - this beauty just needs a little help. On the national historical registry since 2010. the wife and I were there one evening recently for an ArMack Orchestra performance, the sound within the auditorium is very good and I'm sure in her prime she was a grand venue, but this building has definitely seen better days. The first thing I noticed was the "mushy" smell when you walk into this large space - mold, dust and disrepair are apparent. The art deco interior is still very much there and intact - mostly just needs an update after all the years of neglect. Great stylized cut glass wall sconces, and stylized cut glass overhead light fixtures along with the lobby entrance and foyer details reveal just how great this grand structure was back in its day. High ceiling soar overhead and two huge murals - left and right of the stage reminded me that this used to be a place where people in the town gathered regularly in a different era. This space is now a multicultural facility for the performing arts and monthly movies. Also available for rent for special events, weddings, parties, concerts, etc. This is a special place within old Town downtown Eureka that needs to be used to keep her alive, and is in need of some loving restoration to keep around for future generations. Still a 4 Star venue for all of its awesome architectural details that still exist after seven plus decades. And, a venue that has the potential to be a true 5 star gem - with a little help. 00127

They feature awesome programming like "Science on Screen," when science lectures accompany sci-fi films, and live scores by musicians such as the Invisible Czars.

Definitely grab a local beer, cider, glass of wine or speciality cocktail while viewing a flick--all proceeds go toward the theater's restoration. Rumors has it that the theater will soon have it's own deco Air BnB for rent upstairs--can't wait to recommend it to out of town visitors :)

We (my boyfriend, son and I) were just there tonight for my sons birthday. My son is an adult with…read moresevere autism with intellectual disability which means he is low verbal but enjoys movies and outings. I am a recovering cancer patient who had chemotherapy and radiation treatment in 2023/2024 and now deal with osteoarthritis which has disabled me especially in the hips and low back where I wear a brace under my sweater or sweatshirt frequently. Tonight my son ate before we took him to sushi (his choice) for his birthday. My son was mistakenly fed by his worker before we took him to dinner and so he overate for the day. When we were getting snacks at the counter in the theater my son burped and it caused him to throw up a bit of food. I asked for paper towels to clean up the floor and apologized and the staff rushed out to clean the lobby floor after my boyfriend made a cursory swipe with a small pile of napkins while I talked to and observed my son. I have not directly taken care of of my son recently and I wanted to be sure he was ok. When purchasing our tickets and snacks I asked for a bag for our snacks, and they did not have one. I also asked for mustard for the hot dog and pretzels we ordered and we were given tiny containers (and not packets or a condiment stand which we are used to) and so I decorated the hot dog at the counter ( and there was no trash can there to toss the cup) to have one less thing to carry into the theater while I held my sons hand. My son has a tendency to jump and be noisy when he gets excited and I did not want him to scare anyone. ( He is 6 foot tall and now sports a small beard). When we were in the theater and seated watching the previews my son burped again and threw up food. He had only had sips of soda at this point. I asked my boyfriend to grab some napkins and the next thing I knew we had several staff come in with paper towels and a mop while the previews were playing. NOTE we were all the way at the back of the theater already so as to cause the least amount of disturbance should my son get excited and vocalize. There were only about 10 other people in the entire theater and the closest were 4 rows away. The manager told me, if your son throws up again, I ask that you leave. I had my son throw away the 7 dollar hot dog we had just purchased and he sat sipping his pepsi. About 1/3rd of the way into the movie my son burped again and threw up. NOTE he isn't sick. It only went on the cement floor and we were no where near anyone. And so we just settled in to watch the movie. He laughed and enjoyed the silly lines the alien had and enjoyed the space scenes. It's hard to tell what he understands and does not. But I know he loves to go to the theater, I took him last to see Deadpool & Wolverine at this very theater with his friend. After the movie, we got up to go to the bathroom and get some paper towels to clean up. At the door we were greeted by two young women one of whom stood in my way and accused me of trying to "sneak out" and both of whom said we had not "thanked them" for helping clean up. And for not leaving after the general manager had told us we should leave should my son have any more events. I told the one girl I was on my way to the bathroom to get paper towels and she instead jumped in my way 4 times as I attempted to walk past to the bathroom ( no joke) and would not let me pass. I said to her, "look I am a grown woman" as she in an insultingly sweet voice said "we can get any supplies you require for you to clean up" as she and the other gal stood there and stared at us like we should stand in a hall all night... and contemplate it all. And I said, well I was going for paper towels. And finally the second gal went and grabbed a roll of them. The first one then gave a running loud litany about what horrible people we were and how they were "not our servants" (while I stated I had asked for paper towels so we could clean up ourselves) my boyfriend cleaned the floor and I handed him paper towels. They were rude, demeaning and derogatory. I explained I had recently recovered from cancer and she went on to say so are we done? ( Yes we are done... don't worry, we won't be back. We won't spend almost 100 dollars there again. We won't recommend the theater especially to anyone with disability or autism or a senior or in recovery. And really after more then 40 years of training people in hospitality and service work. Lady.... you need therapy. ( incidentally I have been to the theater many times over the years. But I have not been back recently because I was letting my immune system get back up to par after cancer treatment...

Tickets were only $7 for a 4:00 movie. I would give 4.5 stars only because the volume of the movie was extremely loud.

She told us about the movies and that one of them was supposed to start at 4 (it was about 410 when we got there) and let us know that if we wanted to watch that one, they would start it up for us...because no one had shown up for that movie, it hadn't already started. There were two matinee movies showing: the new Hamnet and the 1996 version of Romeo and Juliet. That's pretty neat that they have an older and a newer matinee offering. We decided to watch Romeo and Juliet. The seats were comfortable and they'd apparently recently added tables and told us we could bring our own food in for a $5 charge and eat it at the tables. We didn't do that but what a cool idea. We did grab some snacks from there and sat in front of a table and enjoyed the extra legroom. It was an enjoyable experience. Nice clean theater and bathrooms and very friendly staff.
