We serve more than 30 varieties of wine and beer and have the cheapest tickets around at 5-7 dollars! Built in 1939, you get a taste of the golden era of movies with every ticket! While the theatre is reminiscent of the good old days, our movies are shown on a digital, high-definition projector (when possible; some films only come on "film") and we have Dolby Digital Surround Sound! The Beach Theatre seats approximately 246 people and we have a large stage in the front of the theatre, which allows for special events, such as live bands and acts like "The Rocky Horror Picture Show" performed with a live cast here on Saturday nights at 11:30pm! « less

Just like you remember, with the marquee out front announcing the one (maybe two) shows for the week. Ticket prices are reasonable ($5-$7) and so are concessions - plus, the popcorn is actually made fresh there! You can also enjoy beer or wine with your movie, should you desire. A midnight Rocky Horror Picture Show has been ongoing for years.... More

A wonderful piece of Florida history, still hanging on. The place to see movies that appear nowhere else at reasonable prices. Very family-run, small old theater. There is nothing fancy or Yuppie here. The seats inside are gradually disintegrating. The owner still tries hard to serve a type of audience just a bit too small to really support his grear... More

Limited film choices. Old and in need of updating. Some seats were broken. If you can overlook the atmosphere there is good value for first run films. More

This quaint small beach theatre has been an icon on the beach for decades. I love that for many years the cult movie Rocky Horror Picture Show has played every week. Love the goodie bags you can get to participate in all the fun and become part of the movie! More

This little jewel sits near the beach on Corey Causeway in St. Pete Beach. They show current movies and mix in some avant guard films. They offer wine and beer along with your popcorn. More

I just love how it has an old time feel and that they play Indenpendent Films and also they help promote locale film makers. More

A little funky but fun! It is an old time theater that is very comfortable. It is right downtown and there are some restaurants and bars nearby. More
