    Eclectically Beautiful old Theater

    Had to make a stop at this beautiful old gem. Lots of yummy offerings at the front counter. Prior to the movie starting we were treated with a brief, informative introduction given by an employee standing in front of the stage. Our movie was in...More

    Great local theater run by film buffs

    This theater consistently has films that intelligent people love! Need I say more? the people who run this are also involved with the Port Townsend Film festival.

    Nice Lynden Restored Theater

    Nicely restored, modernized theater that shows recently “past run” films. We saw two shows on two different nights. Neither show was crowded but both fairly well attended. They started each show with a bit of information about each film and that was both interesting and...More

    Great Theatre Experience

    The Rose Theatre shows current films as well as some old classics. Someone discusses the movie prior to show time and they have great popcorn.

    What a charming old-world theatre!

    I can't believe I haven't written a review for this iconic place. They have the old Art Deco decor, popcorn with real butter, and someone that reads an entertaining preview before the show...what's not to love?! My fav is the Starlight room, where you can...More

    Selective movies, great snacks, historic venue

    It is a 2-screen venue with a small number of seats and historic flavor. That and the best popcorn (with great seasonings) make it a unique experience. Quite different from the multi-screen monstrosities in most malls. Here you get local snacks, healthy drinks (herb teas,...More

    It’s a jewel of a theater!

    We go here all the time. It’s fun, the movies are always excellent and the staff is fantastic. It has all the latest indie films along with the current hits.
