I really like this movie theater!…read more First, the concessions area is great. The popcorn actually tastes like it has real butter instead of that super artificial oil flavor. They also have a small bar, so you can grab a glass of wine with your movie, plus the usual candy and snacks. And if you're a popcorn person, you can get a seriously huge bag. I saw someone walking out with a massive family sized bag and honestly respected it. The theater itself is very cozy and has that vintage charm you don't get at newer places. Even though it's small, it didn't feel stuffy or cold inside. I was totally comfortable in shorts. The seating is classic old-fashioned theater seating, no recliners or fancy upgrades, which honestly kind of adds to the nostalgic feel. That said, if you're looking for a super high-tech movie experience with perfect projection and luxury seats, you might want a bigger theater. The projector was a tiny bit oversized for the screen so a sliver of the image was cut off, which wasn't terrible but did catch my eye. Still, it didn't ruin the movie. One thing I loved is that they show older films, reruns, and niche movies along with new releases. It's a fun place to see something a little less mainstream while still having a cute date night in the heart of Mariemont Village. Overall, it's a charming, cozy theater that feels special in a way big chains don't. Perfect for a casual date night or a relaxed movie evening after getting dinner in the village.

There was a glitch at the beginning when the sound wasn't working, but they got that fixed in 5 minutes or so and restarted the movie.

The employees were very friendly & helpful and the theater & bathrooms were clean and well cared for.

It was quick, easy, and user friendly. Since we had just left Pappadeaux we bypassed the popcorn and snacks at the concession stand. But we did opt for slushies and the gentleman at the counter did a GREAT JOB with his sales tactics to upgrade us from a small slushie, which is what we intended to order, to ordering the reusable slushie cup that changes colors. Movie theater and bathrooms were clean, except one of the arms of our recliner had melted butter all over it from the previous movie goer. Overall, a great time for an impromptu movie date out of town!

I was not "Alone A Drive In Movie" and came with a friend who sat in lawn chairs with me. We shared snacks and had a great time. There was no "Grease" in the bathrooms and they were pretty clean. There's an old timey feel to them and the rest of the place, like you're stepping back in time to watch a movie with Danny & Sandy. Plenty of people came out to see the show and I hope they continue to do so for many more years to come!

Tried finding an attendant but could not find the guy on the golf cart that drives around checking on things. Literally could not hear the movie and it totally ruined the experience for us and others around us. It also smelled like weed coming from that car also. Not saying it's managements fault entirely, but they need to do a better job at going around at checking on things. Wife and me normally have a good time coming here, but that was uncalled for an inconsiderate. I'm a big tall dude, I didn't want to go up to them and have a fight break out because they would likely be intimidated by me. This was as of June 20, 2026. It takes one @ssho(e to ruin a cinematic experience like that. I get that that night was sold out, but please do a better job.

I really appreciated the local sourcing, like the Silverglades chicken salad, Montgomery Inn pulled pork, Avril Bleh brisket, fish with Frisch's tarter sauce, and United Dairy Farmers ice cream. 2) The wait staff was prompt - whenever I pressed the button to summon them someone arrived at my seat quickly to take an order or bring refills. 3) I received exactly what I ordered. My husband on the other hand was the recipient of a number of things that he did not order - those were promptly taken away when he summoned staff and told them of the issue - and he never received the popcorn that he did order. 4) The chicken sandwich was fine - nothing special, but I have no complaints about it. I didn't care for the fries, I prefer shoestring fries and these were too chunky for me. 5) I learned that I don't like eating in the dark. I prefer to be able to see what I'm eating.

To me, this is not a problem. What *IS* a problem is the quality of the picture being presented last night in Theater 1. The projector's bulb is obviously going, or the projector is very poorly maintained in other aspects. The result was a screen image that was dim, vignetted, and out of focus. I informed the people at the concessions counter, and their response was, "Yeah, it is." I didn't ask for a refund, but I feel that I should have. Look, I willingly pay for the over-priced popcorn and concessions so that I can help keep this local gem alive...but if I can't SEE the movie, what's the point?
