The Tropic always manages to to find and show both mainstream attractions and also little known sleepers that don't appear at any other movie houses. Atmosphere is lovely and the Tropic is a dedicated member of the Community supporting a variety of Key West causes. More

Really clean, nice people, you can buy wine and just about anything else in there to eat/drink during the movie. Yes, it costs a little more but it is so worth it to avoid going to that horrible theater in New Town. More

Seriously, they have won awards several years in a row! Stepping into the Tropic is like stepping back into a time when going to the movies was still glamorous. Fun staff, awesome snack bar with gourmet treats (brie, dark chocolate, killer popcorn) and a good selection of beer and wine, which always make the movies better! More

It's a small place but had the best films. The theater we were in seemed like a media room in a house! More

The people that work here or I guess a lot of them are volunteers are so great. I love the movie options. I am a member because I love that I am saving and I get e-mails that let me know what movies are playing soon and leaving soon. All the theaters are clean. it is never too crowded. More
