We're so lucky in Portland to have several really great independent movie houses. I was even more…read moreshocked I'd never been here after discovering how awesome this place is! The only downside I see is that the parking lot next to it doesn't belong to them according to the person I bought my ticket from. I have mobility issues so I park in ADA and did so. The lot has a ton of tow notices clearly stating customer parking only, but the building seems up for lease. And when I went back to my car, there was a very graffiti covered bent sign, which looked like it was saying parking for the theater. I'm paranoid because some of those tow companies are straight up scary. Just saying park at your own risk. The bathroom... clean, easy to navigate with soap, easy to use sink and you get to wipe your hands. Concessions - yes! And thank you for having such a great selection, actual ice, fountain soda... delicious popcorn that was fresh... and Bravo to the sweetheart responding to my epic butter request by demonstrating how heavy the bag was.... I love you so much! The prices are completely great too! I am always scared going in to a new space, especially when I am going to be sitting down in that seat for 2 hours. What a great surprise this was - when I picked the seat on the screen, the guy said he felt the ADA seat was really the best seat in the theater at Laurelhurst. After sitting down, I agree - the view was perfection and the seat was amazingly comfortable.

Great experience here. Came on a Friday night and the place was busy. I'd bought tickets in…read moreadvance for a popular movie and the price was great - $10/ticket. They have food at the front and the prices were very reasonable - $5 for a slice of pepperoni pizza, which was good. Our theater had a medium-sized screen - felt like a long, relatively narrow seating area. We were towards the back and it was a good experience. If I came again, I'd want to sit closer to the middle. The seats are super comfy and there are tables in front of all the seats. I'd come here again.

Ok, full transparency, I live within a few blocks of this place and that is certainly an influence…read moreon how much I love this theater. Beyond that, the programming here is pretty decent with Saturday morning "classics" where they span a decade of cinema showing one each week inclusive of a brief introduction prior to the movie. I love that personal touch. They show a lot of arthouse style offerings and also some of the newer big blockbuster movies. The interior is much bigger than the outside would suggest. I believe there are a total of 3 screens, the #1 movie screen being the largest of the 3. There is a balcony level to screen #1 that still has some of the original seating (ok maybe not original) if you're into that sorta thing. All seats are comfortable and while they don't recline fully they do recline a bit with a rocking motion for comfort. Great little concession stand where you can find typical theater offerings (popcorn, soda, candy) and a nice selection of draft beer and wines also. They do get pizza directly from Escape From NY (on 23rd Ave.) so if you get hungry and need something bigger they have you covered.

In the perfect place centering Slabtown with great new movies playing. Lots of seating that you can…read morepick at your leisure as you walk inside the place. I'd still come back regardless because of this very reasoning. The points down really is just the staff don't really care about anything and really give you the hey here's your food, go watch your movie and get out of my face. Like damn, sorry I wanted a medium popcorn and ice cream?

I have been to this theater over a dozen times throughout the years, with many different people…read more First off... to all you whiney complainers that feel the need to complain about EVERYTHING (food, staff, parking, the sound of the speakers being too loud, seating, not being noticed fast enough at the bar, people getting food during the movie etc.) GET A LIFE. You are the reason that people hate customer service jobs. The customer is not always right. Yes, the tickets and the food are on the pricier side. YOU CAN SEE THAT ONLINE... where you order your tickets? Some of the comments on here complain about the food options, prices and menu, then order food still...? Only to complain more... Parking is not horrible or bad. I do not know why there were comments about that? Maybe people want front row parking? Get over it. I have NEVER had a problem with parking. Have you been downtown? where you actually have to pay for parking, and where there is literally nowhere close by to your destination to park? If you are a picky eater, cheap, or both, learn how to cook, and take the time to make yourself something to eat prior to heading to this, or any theater. The seats are comfortable; the staff has been great (at least from the many experiences I've had). The popcorn has always been good; I order it almost every time. (I like the Herbs De Provence). Mindset is everything. If you enter a building mad about the money that you spent on the tickets, and/or about the prices of the food (LEAVE). If you are the type of person who needs attention right away and they are busy (LEAVE). If you need front row parking and you get bent out of shape over having to walk a few feet (LEAVE). You, this establishment, as well as the staff, will be better off.

First of all, know going in that the tickets are more expensive than regular theatres. OK, fine,…read morebut you get more, right? Well, only sort of. You do get a waiter and you order from a menu. If you get there early it's a little less awkward since food is brought to your seat. In a darkened theatre with ottomans and little tables filling up the aisle, it's quite disruptive to order or receive food during the film, so see something that you don't really care about missing lines of dialogue. You'd think someone would have thought of this when designing this place. Maybe have an aisle for wait staff behind the seats so the waiter can get in and out more easily with less disruption to other patrons? Secondly, food is average and overpriced. I ordered a 3-item snack tray ($19) which included an artisan cheese plate, 3 deviled eggs and flatbread. The cheese was not "artisan" in any way, shape or form, the flatbread was limp, and the deviled eggs were ok. My husband and I also split a large popcorn ($15). A 10-oz glass of wine was also $15. Regarding the seats and movie experience itself, the seats are different depending upon what seat numbers you choose, but you can't really know that until you enter the theatre and see them. It would be helpful if seating styles were better explained on the website at the time of ordering. Lastly, the house lights and some bright screens on the side wall were lit up before the credits rolled, making the credits impossible to read. As movie lovers, we always stay for and read the credits, and they are a part of the film. Leave the lights and screens OFF until the movie is done! Needless to say, we won't be back again, and we didn't find this movie going experience to be 'special' at all; more like awkward and uncomfortable. If that's what you're into, you'll love it!

We drive out here from Gresham to see movies because we love the retro vibes, and the flying pie pizza! I will also say that the advertisements played before the movie feel very community oriented.

Employee (was informed…read moreher name was Cece) was remarkably rude and dismissive for what should have been an incredibly normal interaction. Every question seemed to be received as a personal inconvenience, and the overall attitude was weirdly hostile. It takes a special kind of customer service to make someone feel unwelcome while they're actively trying to give the business money. Hopefully management works on this because the theater deserves better than having an employee make customers regret walking through the door.

Never seen that. The interior of the whole place tells its story. It's been thru time and changes. The bathroom is the funniest. There is a sign on the door that says something like pardon our 100year old plumbing system, the tank refills slowly. lol... and it was slow. I was there during the Panorama film festival time, and got to meet and Q&A with the director and producer of the film Pour the Water. Pretty cool to hear their perspective and insights.

We got tix online in advance and arrived at least 30 minutes early, but by then the entire theater was already full! We got seats towards the back and still had good views. Huge screen and the sound was loud. Price seemed fair but I didn't feel that the 70mm showing was that different from a digital showing (I guess I'm not a big movie buff). I'd definitely come back.

I recently attended the premiere of The Devil Wears Prada 2 with my partner, and unfortunately, our…read moreexperience fell well below expectations. From the start, the theater's air conditioning was not working, making the environment uncomfortably hot and leading to multiple moments of physical discomfort. We were later informed by an employee that the HVAC system has been down and there is no clear timeline for repair, which was disappointing to hear...especially since this was not communicated to guests ahead of time. In addition, the audio had major issues during the first half of the film, and the movie had to be paused midway to address the problem. While we understand that technical difficulties can happen, the way the situation was handled added to our frustration. When we spoke with the manager, Danielle, her response came across as defensive and dismissive of our experience. This was particularly frustrating given that she had a box fan positioned on the counter directly facing her, while guests in the theater were left dealing with the heat. It made the situation feel minimized rather than acknowledged. We do appreciate that refunds were provided, but customer service is just as important as compensation. A more empathetic and proactive approach would have made a significant difference in how this situation was received. We hope this feedback is taken seriously and used to improve both facility conditions and customer service moving forward

We went so see Michael for date/opening night and, it was worth every penny…read more We were suppose to be in the 9:25 showing (pre-paid $15.00 x2) but, our seats were apart from some strange reason. The cashier was really sweet. She was rebooking a lot people for the next day or two later. But, she was able to get us in for the 10:20 showing while we went to grab a bite to eat. Got a small bag of popcorn and raisin nets for $12.00. Things have definitely changed he wasn't too happy but, he knows I gotta have it (lol). Seats were spacious and very comfortable reclining chairs (w/ foot rest). It had a few compartments for your snacks and drinks on either side. I like the fact that it's several rolls of seats but, not too many of you get my drift. We were directly in middle but, to the right. I felt we were to close until the previews stared and it was just right. A lot of people did have to move because they were seating in other people seats and, it was completely sold out. It has plenty of parking with very clean restrooms on both sides. I would highly recommend this Cinemark we are planning to go again we want to see Scream 7.

This has become a favorite theater for me. The staff here keep the theater clean, including the…read morerestrooms. A lot of theaters are really taken a beating as they are not as staffed. This last visit had one person doing concessions and checking people out yet she was doing it better than I have experienced at theaters with a lot of people working. Also, having someone actually layer the butter and be mindful. It is nice. Their seats are great and have useable cup holders and stretch out plus the way the screens are angled so you are not dislocating you neck trying to see the screen. I highly recommend getting their monthly deal because it pays for itself immediately. You get one movie credit for the $11.99 and a movie is over $13 plus you save % on all concessions. I get a $3 off concessions coupons by earning points all the time and you can reserve seats without paying extra! And if you do not use you free movie credit for that month it rolls over so it is such a great deal! There are quite a few movies I have noticed that they show later in the evening also and I am much more likely to go to later movies.

It used to be the Swedish Evangelical Mission Covenant Church. There's some cool millwork, antique light fixtures, and large curved staircases, but overall this is on the tamer side for McMenamins properties. The venue had standing room and high-tops on the same level as the stage. Upstairs is theater style seating that was decently comfortable and had a counter spot to put your drink. There weren't any bad views, and the sound system was better than I expected. I think there are two bars, one on each floor, but the upstairs one was closed for the small event I attended. They serve drinks and small bites, not full meals. Parking is challenging nearby.
