This is the opposite of a multiplex theatre. It is small, only a couple of features are playing at any time. And these are the best new films available. Good coffee from a local roaster is available. The crowd is quiet and respectful, a mix of students from the university and older people. It feels almost like going to a... More

I love this theatre - perfect for a movie date, especially after dinner in the heart of Princeton. Small theatre with only two movies showing in the two theatres, for me is a rare treat from the huge multiplexes. More

Princeton is so lucky to have this theatre with the Mc Carthy as well. The performances that I saw were wonderful. More

small with tiered seating. As a general rule there are no cell phones ringing or texting in the crowd. Small town theater feeling and you can walk out of the movies and continue through town for dinner, yogurt, ice cream.... A princeton gem. More

Like going because it is small and has stadium seating, but if you are going for top notch technical quality it isn't the theatre for you. Their movies are a notch above the usual drivel you see in regular movie theatres so we love it. More

The selections can be a bit erratic, and the theaters a bit worn, but for convenience the Garden Theatre can't be beat. And often the films being screened are a cut above what you'd find in suburban theaters. Support your local playhouse! More

Princeton Garden Theatre is unsuspecting. What looks like a quaint little movie theater in downtown Princeton is actually a very modern, clean and spacious movie theater within short walking distance of restaurants, pizza shops and pubs. The newest movies are alway running here, and it is so convenient to enjoy a nearby meal/drink and then migrate over to the Princeton... More
