Perfect place to watch a movie. Sadly, there aren't many movies that are worth watching nowadays. But, if you keep checking, one will pop up that seems good. HAUNTING IN VENICE. Theater is not crowded and has good atmosphere. Could be a touch warmer. Staff is professional and that makes a difference to me. read more

Went the second week after re-opening and was pleasantly surprised. This is clearly a historic place but in a vintage-homey kind of way. It has upgrades and updates where it matters - nice seats, great sound, big screen. The popcorn was hot and plentiful with all the other super-size movie treats. The price is right and the people are very nice. This is a great place - open and welcoming. read more

Uptown Theatre - Big screen, nice sound. Vintage feel with new, comfy seats. - Cinema Near Me - Port Townsend, Washington

You have got to be serious!!! I'm the first Yelper to review the Uptown??? http://ptuptowntheatre.com Okay, folks, I'm going to give you a whole new slant on Port Townsend. Pay attention. You might learn something useful... Port Townsend has a Downtown. That's where the Rose Theatre is located. That's where Elevated Ice Cream, The Antique Mall, The Bishop Hotel and the Northwest Maritime Center are located. There is absolutely nothing wrong about Downtown. It's quaint, artsy, fun. Port Townsend has an Uptown. Its (duhhhhhhh!!!) at the top of the cliff overlooking downtown. That's where Aldrich's Market, Badd Habit, the library, and the fire station are located. It's quaint, artsy and fun...but its also local. So........(100 times on the blackboard, please.....) The Uptown Theatre is in Uptown. And if you've never been to it, you've never really been to Port Townsend. Not really. Dreams are made and lost for less than this! The Uptown Theatre sits smack-dab between the Farmer's Market and the Library. You really can't miss it. The theater is older than Dirt, but it ain't dirty. Its faded ambience speaks of the time long ago when kids caught the Saturday matinee, couples hired a babysitter for Date-Night. Back in the bado-bado when jilted lovers bought a big bag of popcorn before entering into the darkened space to cry their eyes out over Casablanca. Alone. "Here's looking at you, kid." But this is Port Townsend. Dream CIty. Where the movies live on and on... Yep. Seven bucks. A bag of popcorn. A large theater three-quarters full with an appreciative, responsive audience. I went to the "Mirror, Mirror" matinee with families, older folks, the occasional dating couple. Got my ticket at the window from the kid whose family owns the place. And always has. It was fun. Real. Authentic. Not at all pretentious. Remember: The Uptown is in Uptown. And if you want to know Port Townsend, you need to go to Uptown. Get it? Got it? Good! There will be a quiz after the show. read more

Uptown Theatre - Harry Potter at the Uptown (from the website) - Cinema Near Me - Port Townsend, Washington

This theatre is such a special place. Huge theatre and screen, exceptional sound system, old fashioned roomy leatherette seats. Tickets and snacks cost just a little more than half of what I am used to and -- get this -- the theatre's regular fare is current independent films. The usher will bring your soda and popcorn to you in your seat if you like. You can park just steps away. There are three coffee shops and a great bar on the same block for when you come out and want to discuss the movie. Or a great Italian restaurant if you want dinner before the 7:30 show. The Uptown puts my local ArcLight in the shade! If you remember the Trip to Willoughby episode of The Twilight Zone, you are my kind of people and you will be happy beyond words here. Trust me. read more

I love the Uptown Theater because it is never crowded, the seats are comfy, and they show good movies. BUT I can never go in the winter months any more because the place is not heated! It's always cold in there, but we were freezing Saturday! Almost walked out. Not enjoyable even when you know better and dress for it. See you in June Uptown! read more

I found another "Old" movie theater and checked it out. The movie, "The Lone Ranger", a fun western, was featured which made the whole experience that more fun. This one, the "Uptown Theater" in Port Townsend, Washington, was built in 1947 and still has the wooden floor, old seats, and "yesterday" feelings of the many years it has been operating as a movie theater. Interesting enough, the building this theater is housed in also is used as apartments upstairs. I wonder if the tenets mind the movie noise. Unfortunately, rumor has it that the present owners want to "modernize" this relic and sadly, it, too, will become a theater gone forever. Shame....... Yesterday's theaters were so fantastic. read more

They've done some good work updating it, but the customer service is still iffy. The ticket guy just practically tackled my daughter and wife who walked in with drinks. read more

This place was really cool! Their selection leaves a little to be desired, but I'm also not the typical fan. I loved being able to get a ticket, popcorn, and a soda for the same price as I'd pay for one ticket anywhere else. I hope I get the chance to see another movie here! read more

My family and I were fortunate to attend a movie here last Friday. We are huge fans of old theaters and love visiting them. The Uptown theatre didn't disappoint. Quaint theater, good selection of snacks and reasonable prices. I thought it was very cool to have someone greeting you when you walked into the theater. Comfy seats, good picture and sound. We will definitely catch another movie there when we are in town. read more

My hubby and I really enjoy the Uptown Theatre. When there's a new movie coming out that has big action and sound, we always hope that the Uptown will be showing it. The new seats are very comfy, with plenty of room for the 'long legged' folks. The popcorn is great. And the surround sound is outstanding. Be a 'local'--wear a warm coat/jacket...or bring a blanket along during the colder months, since the historic building has lots of high ceiling space that's harder to heat. It's an experience--I'll bet you'll enjoy your visit to the Uptown Theatre! read more

I've been going to the Uptown for 40+ years. Upgrades seats, RealPopcorn, and great sound system!

I had high hopes when they got the new seats... BUT... Their website has been broken for months, so it's impossible to know whats playing.... They STILL have no heat... and finally... the popcorn/butter is still nasty. Hint: use organic popcorn & butter like the Rose. And, heat. read more

The theatre was warm which is a great improvement. Seats are very nice & great sound system. Just hope they get more top rated movies and maybe go a bit more eclectic with selections. Haven't tried the popcorn - hope they have the same as the rose theater. read more

I went the morning of the show my wife and I wanted to see to confirm what was showing and when I got there that night it was a different movie. It is impossible to know what they are showing as they don't update their feeds and you can't even trust what they have as listings at the box office until you are there. read more

Amazing theater in a very beautiful town. Great seats and a nice atmosphere. Real butter on the popcorn as well

We came with friends from out of town to see a movie and were amazed to find that the theater was extremely cold, when one of our guest mentioned it he was told that they are doing their best. Really? I will not be back soon. Bad customer service leads to unhappy customers, get a clue. Especially on cold nights when the theater can be a retreat from the cold. read more

The Uptown Theater is open with new seats, new paint job, new and better movies and great sound system. You just have to go and check it out. It is soooo much better now. And great new movies. read more
