Indie film mecha. well organized, good size. And of course concessions. We cam here for the women talking film a few months ago. Such a good selection of films. And I agree with the last reviewer, it's quaint.

A small theater that shows Indie films. The building is older, quaint, yet well maintained. You walk into a small lobby and concession stand. Popcorn, Nachos, candy, soda and mixed drinks are options to purchase. There are 2 theaters, one to either side of the concession stand. Bathrooms are clean and tidy.

This historic theater is absolutely beautiful! The architecture and design are fabulous! We visited recently for the Milwaukee Film Festival and could not ask for a better time! Every one that worked there and for the film festival were courteous and helpful. No they don't have your huge seats like at a Marcus theater but that isn't too be expected here. The sound quality of the theater was very good infact I think it was better than at a Marcus theater. I can't wait to visit again!

Great spot to watch a movie, one of my favorite theaters in the Milwaukee area. Saw Antman Quantumania here. It was a good vibe. It was way to dark when the movie started i could barely find my way out.

Lovely vintage theatre, two screens. I love the atmosphere but I either have to sell a kidney or hope for a lottery win if I want to have concessions with the film, and then I have to purchase them from employees who struggle with basic pleasant responses. The movie selection is very good, bringing in whatever the much better Oriental doesn't pick up.

It's exactly the same as last time I was there 30 years or more ago! Nostalgia overload. Popcorn is absolutely the best I've ever had! Saw the movie, "You won't be Alone." Such a beautiful movie haunting and disturbing.
