- Intown Expert, Jennifer Kjellgren & AssociatesFebruary 8, 2013This is a movie theatre for movie lovers. It's no-frills with a carefully-curated selection of indie flicks, documentaries and new releases. And they serve beer and wine.
- Creative Loafing AtlantaAugust 5, 2014Before he was Midtown Art Cinema's general manager, packing its concessions with excellent craft beers from breweries such as Oskar Blues & Founders, Kevin Ward grew up in Columbus, Ohio. Read more
Plan ahead and order concessions way before the movie starts. Some hot items like egg rolls and pretzels can take 10-15 minutes to cook. With several orders in a single oven, there may be a long wait.
Josh WeissOctober 19, 2018Good spot for independent/foreign movies. It is quirky and authentic and a bit dated but better than the mall theater. Great beer selection. Arrive early as concession/beer line gets long.
My tip is bring a big purse and stash your own snack and drinks or take a financial raping at the concessions. PS Yes to extra nacho cheese if you do get them there
Key GloverDecember 11, 2012Nice movie theatre very much ol school with a touch of new school. It was my 1st time and I saw Skyfall 007, it was midday and it was like the theatre was jus for me! I will b back!
This is a well run theatre that shows mainstream, documentaries and foreign films. A nice, well-behaved crowd. I hope you enjoy it as much as I do.
Allison LeachNovember 16, 2013Older seating in this theater but you can not beat the independent films they show or the fact that you can enjoy your viewing with an adult beverage. This theater is charming and centrally located.- kristen greenMay 16, 2011A great laid-back theater that shows all the great independent movies and documentaries that you won't find at any of the mainstream theaters in ATL (via Scoville) Read more

Get Local ATLApril 5, 2012This theater plays a starring role in the Atlanta Film Festival, one of our favorite annual events in ATL. Mark your calendars and be sure to catch an indie flick or two next year!
Best popcorn and beer at any movie theater! And the manager Stephen is really nice because he found and returned my iPhone that fell out of my pocket while almost falling asleep during Clash of the Ti
My favorite movie theater in town. I suggest getting a drink before or after at Apres Diem to make a night of it.

If you get wine, drink some out of your cup before you put it in the holder unless you want wine on your shoe.
Madhu VulimiriJune 23, 2015The pretzels are filled with cheese and jalapeño and my heart sings when I eat it
Make sure you see Yauntria at the concession stand. She is awesome! Also they've added Jack Daniels to to the libation lineup. Sweet!
Corporate or not, this theater shows a lot of Miyazaki movies. Amazingly great! Plus, beer!
Dan StewartJuly 28, 2013Don't talk during the movie and go ahead and open up your noisy food packaging before movie starts.

Marcus AureliusJuly 22, 2011Come see something different, artsy, left field or non main stream. It's an experience.
Vené FrancoApril 28, 2013Need more than popcorn? Try the individual pepperoni pizza (enough to share).
Show up on some day when you don't have anything else to do and buy a ticket to the one movie you've never heard of. Then, go enjoy it. Read more
Drew HawkinsSeptember 17, 2011The manager personally welcomed everyone before the movie. Nice personal touch
You can drink BOOZE during your movie!! Need I say more!?
