The fantasy motif of the decor makes for a fun experience.

Owner description:
Built in 1927, the Chateau was one of the most elaborate theatres built in Rochester in the early 1900s. The exterior sunburst design marquee is lit with 636 light bulbs. Its unique French Village decor includes interior balconies and turrets and, on the ceiling, stars in the night sky. Refurbished in 1994, this elegant old theatre now houses a Barnes and Noble Bookstore and Starbucks Cafe.

Theatre hasn't been maintained very well but it currently went under new management. Hopefully this place improves b/c Rochester definitely needs 3 well-run theatres in town.

Best projection system in town with the Sony system and the most comfortable seating.

It will take more than a facelift to draw me into that movie theater. Still miss the old Chateau downtown. What a travesty when they converted to a bookstore.

Seniors have a rate of $5.00 all day every day. Spacious and clean. However they make up for bargain prices by really jacking up the prices for all the edibles. If I remember right a small popcorn and drink was around $10.00 I could be wrong.

Typical movie threatre. Neat chateau-style decor that some children might like.

The only bad thing about this place is no longer a theater. It now has a Barnes and Noble in it, but still has the great old movie theater charm. Sparkling ceilings and castle feel.
I suggests buying your books at the downstairs entrance, it's in the front part of the building where they would have sold tickets.
Great place...
