    Love the senator!

    We come here often to see movies. The employees are friendly and the theater is wonderful! The movie/snack prices are great-not too high. Love that you can eat delicious Clark burgers and drink local beer while enjoying a movie. Support the Senator!!

    One of the last of its kind

    There may well be no better place to see a film in Baltimore. A classic movie house, with its original decor, and patrons who respect the art of film making. The Senator has panache, élan, understated elegance, and is, quite simply, a true pleasure to...More

    Unique, inexpensive but not the best neighborhood

    Baltimore’s classic, independent movie theatre a must-see!

    If you like movies and appreciate a true movie theatre, do yourself a favor and go to The Senator. Baltimore’s favorite cinema shows regular blockbuster feature films as well as a tantalizing array of oldies but goodies. I grew up going to The Senator and...More

    Beautiful old theater, great history.

    The Senator I have visited throughout the many years of living in the Baltimore area. Full of nostalgia, beautiful art deco, still only 1 huge screen, unlike all of the multiplex theater out there now. Directly off York Road near Towson, Maryland.
