Great place to see a movie and Berkshire owned. The new recliner chairs are amazingly comfortable and every seat in the house has a great view. Prices are also more reasonable than the mall cinema. Can you believe a $6 matinee still exists? There is a lot of free parking on nights and weekends in the lot behind the theater. Could they make the experience better? Well, I would love a glass of wine and dinner in the recliner. But, one has to compromise somewhere! :-) read more

Was referred here. Won't refer others. 1. The kid at the register couldn't answer a simple question (when is the theater open for seating) 2. What flavor is a specific cider? (His answer-cider). 3. When I ordered a large popcorn it came in a bag, when the young lady behind me informed me only the jumbo is in a bucket (my error) I asked if I can pay the difference for a bucket... his answer. I need to get a manager to issue a refund..... much much more hassle that it's worth..... last time here. read more

Love this theatre. Always easy to get good seats, at a reasonable price. Have been coming since they opened, the seats need repair as many are torn. read more

Besides sitting through 30 minutes of commercials, some 5 or 6 times, it was great. I have to remember to get there 15 minutes after the scheduled start time to miss the commercials. read more

I got tickets with my family to see the Barbie movie and we had a great time. The movie was really good and the seats were the comfortable lounge chairs that you can adjust to either lie down, sit up, or anything in between. The chairs had a unique feature, though, because they had a seat-warming option, which I hadn't seen anywhere else. It was really cool. Although the theater didn't have any promotional items sold for the movie like other theaters, that didn't make it any less enjoyable. The tickets were also reasonably priced, the bathrooms were relatively clean, and the people working there that night were friendly and helpful too. read more

I went here recently and it was absolutely amazing! They had lots of food and drink options to choose from, and the heated seats were extremely comfortable. The audio quality is spectacular. I highly reccomend this. read more

Omg heated reclining seats! Fixed my back pain! Small theater very clean. Has the latest movies. Excellent prices. $6 matinee n I think $10 regular Great sound system, friendly staff. read more

Meh. This place always seems to be covered in butter and sticky with soda. And the staff, even the "managers," are teenagers who don't understand anything about listening to customers or how they can help us so we'll actually want to come back. I mean, they show movies, but the rest of the experience is so disappointingly below average. And so Pittsfield--depressing and bland. read more

I love this place. Great place to watch a movie with the family. Comfortable seats, great staff, and reasonable prices.

We keep coming back to this theater! The reclining seats are the best ones we've found and we enjoy the ability to lift up the center console when attending as a couple. They're spacey and heated and the staged seating ensures everyone has a full view of the movie screen. The snacks are fresh, the tickets very reasonable and the bathrooms have been clean! read more

Great place to enjoy a movie, but a little confusing getting into and out of from the back.

This is a great Movie Theater. Clean, reasonably priced and what great sound. Seats are extremely comfortable and kept my wife warm with built in seat warmers. Can't wait to go back. read more

This place was a nice little theater. It was clean and the heated seats are comfortable and I certainly could have fallen asleep if the movie was bad but it was good. read more

Fun, comfortable and great popcorn!. Great safe location. A nice nite out with friends or alone!

Worst experience ever!!!! We bought our tickets ahead of time online, got to the theatre to find out the seats were sold twice. Manager gave us tickets to rebook only to find out you cannot book online with Disney movies. Went through the corporate office and the "booked" our seats a second time. Got to the theatre the 2nd time with no seats available again. We live 45 minutes away. I just spoke with corporate again and the suggested emailing the tickets. NO compensation for driving a total of 3 hours and paying for parking twice. Will never go back. Management did nothing to assist read more

Great theater. Heated reclining seats, snacks, ice cream, beer and wine, lots of restaurants around

This was a surprisingly great theatre. Seats recline and are heated, and the staff was nothing but wonderful. I really enjoyed my movie time while on spring break with my teens. Not many movie theaters around here so I thought this was going to be just a run of the mill spot since there's not really much competition but it was such a great little gem! Will definitely come back when in the area again! Oh and the best part, matinee pricing until 5 pm! Wow! read more

The he theatre is really nice, very comfortable seats the sound is bit too loud. The man that sold the tickets was very nice and professional 2 read more

Clean and well managed movie theater with super comfy reclining chairs. What's even better is the reasonable price, which is much lower than Regal at Berkshire Mall. This place motivates me to watch more movies out here rather than at home like I used to do lol read more

This movie theater is awesome!! It's very well organized and I like that you can buy your tickets and food at the same time, so you only have to pay once. You also get to choose your seat (like on an airplane), to make sure your whole group can sit together. The staff is nice, and they have a good selection of snacks, with very reasonably priced beer and wine. The reclining chairs are VERY comfortable, and I like that they are pleather/faux leather rather than upholstered, which can be kind of gross. Overall, this is a fantastic set up from start to finish - truly an amazing place to enjoy a movie! read more

Really do like the theater itself - but they have this crazy policy of not giving anyone cups with their beer or canned drinks. It's nice the serve beer and wine, but it would be even nicer if I could get a glass to go with it. They did say I could pay $6 for a cup, Same with water - you are forced to buy an overpriced bottle of water rather than tap water. Just makes all their effort to be upscale kind of useless. read more

The chairs are comfy , good for dates , warm seats very welcoming staff !! Will return

Clean, cheap, excellent projection and sound, all the snacks you could possibly desire, local beer options, a thoroughly charming staff, independently owned, and all right in the heart of downtown Pittsfield. You'd be a fool to go anywhere else in the Berkshires for a movie! read more

Nice comfortable, clean and heated reclining seats. Pleasant staff. Great sound and picture. To make it more amazing it's only $8.75 at night. 6.00 for a matinee. Nice size theatre, not too big, not too small. You can buy your popcorn, candy and drink along with your ticket at the same time! read more

This theater sucks. They show 15 minutes of local ads, some so juvenile a three year old could produce them, then they show trailers for 20 minutes then finally the movie. Total waste of time! read more

Great place to see a movie! Reclining seats, clean, friendly staff, large enough to have a variety of movies. I used to like the TriPlex in GB, but there Covid policy is ridiculous, and seating is old school in a not so old school theater, Lanesborough is not as modern. This theater is ideal for normal movie loving people. Whether you are visiting or a local, highly recommend the Beacon. read more

My mother (a young 80) needs a cane and a bit of help to walk, and wanted to go see a movie. The manager assisted us, and went above and beyond what needed to be done. He made sure that the ramp was clear enough for her, and let her enter the theater to find a seat a few minutes before the excited crowd. He not only earned my respect as a fellow Berkshire County businessman, he earned this 5 star review for Beacon Cinema, and definitely earned repeat customers! In addition to the amazing customer service, the seats are great, and with the way the theater seating is arranged, every seat is a great seat. Thank you Beacon Cinema staff for such a great experience! My last review of this business was in 2013. ( It was also a five star ) 12/16/2013 Very nice, parking in the back in the winter is the only drawback. Another reviewer said it before, but the lines when busy can be a bit messy, they should work on that. Just like every movie house, expect to pay more for their snacks. read more

Few places in the area can compare to the Beacon when taking all of its virtues into account. The broad strokes: PARKING - Ample and free in the lot right behind the theater. LOBBY - Clean and modern. Plenty of space for milling around. CONCESSIONS - Good selection and not overly expensive. MOVIE SELECTION - The Beacon always has a great selection of movies. Everything from the latest blockbuster to art house films. THEATERS - Medium sized with stadium seating. Seat are very comfortable though there's nit quite enough leg/knee room between rows. With plenty of food options in the area for before/after the movie, the Beacon is an all around great choice when you want to catch a film. read more

Great old building that is beautiful. Been here twice, one on a holiday, one not. Both times the lines were ridiculous. The front of the house management needs work. read more

Great - how can you complain about cheap tickets, really comfortable seats, spacious seating with room to spare, and alcohol! Ipic charges 3 times for movie tickets for roughly the same type type of seating and viewing - you're getting luxury at a huge discount, especially for 62 and over. And Ipic only shows some of the new releases. If this were in Houston, I'd watch everything that showed there. read more

Last week I joined eight of my Opera loving friends to see the live at the Met at the Beacon. We were all appalled to have the Beacon employees searching for and confiscating food from patrons. The reason for this crude policy is not for sanitary reasons, but merely to ensure sales at the Beacon's own concessions. We were told by another patron that they witnessed an elderly gentleman being escorted out by a policeman for refusing to give up his personal food. Myself and friends all determined not to return until the policy is changed. Next week we will all enjoy Don Giovanni at the Mahaiwe in Great Barrington. read more

Nice theater to go to in the Berkshires. The staff upfront is really slow during large crowds of people. They should space movie times out more if they can't handle the crowds. Popcorn was very fresh get the combo deal it is a better price. The movie was wonderful. Defintely will go again. read more

Love this theater. I choose it over all the other local theaters. Best seats. Friendly service. Only thing I don't like is too many commercials before the movie starts. read more

I wish I could give less than one star. I have never been more disrespected by a business in he Berkshires. I called the theater to inquire about a showing I was hoping to buy tickets to but was unavailable online. They shared that they were experiencing technical difficulties for that showing, but assured me that the later showing would be good to go and sold me tickets. Hours later, when I arrived, I was informed that the movie could not be screened (for the same issue) but I (and my family) was asked to wait while they resolved the issue and promised updates. Only when I heard employees talking in the back of the theater did I learn that there was no chance I would be seeing the film. Technical difficulties occur, but they should be handled responsibly and accountably. Not with deception and malaise. I know now one theater in the Berkshires I will never again give a single cent. read more

I love this theater but am giving only 2 stars for CS. Must say the current staff needs some excessive training. We are living in pandemic times but there is no consideration for safety when it comes to sharing food. You can charge patrons $10 for a popcorn but refuse them an extra bucket or bag for sharing and for the fact that the $.50 buckets are leaking butter on our clothes? Even after offering to pay for a bag/bucket and was still refused, wow! Thank you Phoenix...one more thing, please fix the chairs in theater 2! read more

A picture- You On a Tuesday night Not a plan in your itinerary or alarm in your phone to remind you of any event of any pertinence at all And then A shiny BEACON in the night A quiet family owned theater within walking distance where you can procure a popcorn, soda, and your ticket for 11$ and be left the fuck alone to enjoy a flick No fuss and certainly no muss read more

My family wanted to go to the movies. I had over did it with the outdoor gardening. I hurt from head to toe, but didn't want to disappoint them so I went. When I sat on those WONDERFUL seats I almost cried. They were recliner with automatic controls. I was comfortable and my pain was gone and I greatly enjoyed my family fun night. read more

I went to see black panther at the Becon and there was a tall woman ( girl) that was very rude. I had a bagpack with a extra Hoodie and my cell phone and charger in it. Now I don't mind if they have someone look though to make sire it's safe to bring in but they make me put my bag on the floor in a janitor closet with the door open and anyone who walks in has access to it. Then I asked why they let the people in front of us bring there purses in when there purses where as big if not bigger then my bagpack and the woman got even more rude and said it's different....please explain how. So if I was a woman the bag is acceptable.... the way the woman approached the situation was unprofessional she was rude and talked down to me for have a bagpack.... I go to the Becon alot but from now on I'll stream my movies with my gf.... I don't go out to spend money to be talked down to or treated like crap cause I carry my belongings in a backpack.... oh and I don't bring food in ever I buy it in the movies that's part of the experience.... I will say the manager was very nice and tried to accommodate me without going back on what the other employee said ..... also it took 5 employees to bring my bag out back ......why..... and who is held accountable for my belongings? read more

Great theater! Reclining seats, clean, decent popcorn, and friendly staff! This is the place to see movies in Pittsfield.
