Was a neat little throwback to a simpler era, to "small town America"... or at least what I would imagine that might be like, as I have always lived in the suburbs between major cities. The staff (which I'm assuming was the husband/wife owner team) was very friendly and accommodating, we enjoyed our visit. And of course the authentic movie... More

This isn't a big multiplex theater, but it's comfortable and fun! If you call ahead, you can usually reserve one of the three couches (yes, I said couches) or the two comfy chairs that are available. For a fun family night at the movies, they can't be beat! I can take my three local grandkids to the movie, and buy... More

The theatre is well kept. The popcorn is the best I've had. Prices are cheap. The owners are delightful. Can't think of a better way to spend an evening. More

On our first visit to Berkeley Springs, one of the ladies at our B&B told us about the theater and we couldn't thank her enough. We went early and requested a couch! Since we were there early, we got a chance to talk to the owner and some other people there - what nice, nice people! For less than $20,... More

I just love love the freshly popped popcorn with real butter, Jennie has a magic touch. The prices are great, $3.75 a ticket and concessions aren't pricey either. The only con is the smaller/hard seating, but in that case we normally just rent a sofa. The Star Theater is a real gem! More

Where else can you get a movie, popcorn with real butter and a drink for less than $10 pp? Plus you get to meet the author of one of the Berkeley books she wrote and she'll sign it. Seats are skinny though. Friendly staff More

Real Butter believe it or not! AND for an extra 50 cents you can sit on a sofa! You have to call in advance to reserve that because they only have three! More

The concession area is a must see! Popcorn is popped in an original theater popcorn popper daing back to 1947! The real treat is that the popcorn tastes as great as it smells and looks! The price for a current run movie for adults is an unbelievable $3.75 for adults! The recently released "Cowboys and Aliens" was being shown. More

For under $4 you can sit on hard awkward seats to watch a newly released film. The proprietors sell inexpensive movie snacks for exceptionally reasonable prices. The pop corn at The Star is stellar...forgive the pun. It's a wonderful small town experience to go to this movie theater. Include it on your Berkeley Springs get away itinerary some weekend! More
