Most important note: MOVIE (not the previews) start at the time listed European-style. So if the…read morelisting says 4:00 and you want to see trailers, show up at 3:30; because the main feature starts at 4p. This place has seen better days. It was obviously once (i.e. 1980s) a nice-ish movie house, with four screens and nicely situated in the business district of the city. But it's the only game in town--no theaters in an hour's drive in any direction, and it shows. The theater's literally falling apart. As soon as the lights come up, you see that the velvet on the sides of the theater are ripping off, decor is cracked and moldy, and that the seats haven't been updated in a decade or so. Staff was nice, and the place was clean, and it was nice to not have to drive further to see a new release. But *you * need do some cost-calculus to determine if it's worth the drive to Gaylord to see something at a nicer theater or see one in Mackinaw City in a dumpier dive; and decide to go here depending on how that math maths.

Holy smokes, Batman! Movie ticket prices here are so cheap…read more We came on a gloomy drizzly afternoon. Perfect excuse to head indoors and watch a movie. Saw Mad Max in 3D for 6 buckeroos! What a pleasant surprise. It was matinee pricing so tickets are EXTRA cheap. I didn't believe the guy when he told us what we owed and I had to confirm with him that yes, it was indeed the price for 3D. Even further discounts given if you're a student, in the military, a senior (60+), or a child (3-12). Concessions are also priced very reasonably. Theater is very cute and charming looking, both inside and out. It's right off the main street. Our ticket seller was very friendly and chatted us up a bit. They're forced to wear black formal attire so that kind of snazzes up the place. Comfortable seating, no complaints about our movie experience. Perk about seeing movies here are there a ton of commercials for local businesses shown some of which are wow, just no words. Pretty amazing to watch though. You get the impression this is a tight knit community. It was cute though because I walked by a candy shop just minutes before and recognized the owner after seeing him in the commercial for his shop. Pretty nifty!

This theater was built in the late 90's. It's very clean and has a very friendly staff. However…read moreit's only a mediocre cinema. There is only a tiny angle to the seating, so it is far from stadium seating. The seats are very crunched together so not the most comfortable. The picture and sound are good. Just not alot of charm to the place. So it kinda fits that it was built in the 90's. Overall I'd give 3 stars. Would I return? Yes if I was in the area and it was the only place showing what I want to watch or had a better time or I just wanted to eat in Charlevoix.

The stage and acoustics were a delight, too. Thank you for being this seasonally appropriate, Celtic band, for the week before St. Patrick's day.

The attendance was pretty decent- the band joked that there must not have been any good basketball games on. Lol. Good mix of jokes, stories, songs with and w/out lyrics. Haunting melodies and lively jigs etc. Plus, this band played in the gym today for the students at the school where I work, and they played a luncheon time concert at our local community college. Way to spread goodwill!!! :)
