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!!

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
