Mayan Theatre

This is an old school theater with all the old school charm. Everything inside seems like it's been there since day one, which is fine but you should set your expectations.Ticket booth out front, concessions as soon as you walk in, and two theaters (one downstairs, one upstairs). The theaters are small and have the typical seats. I sat in the front section when I saw Wicked and it didn't feel too close at all, it honestly felt immersive. The parking tip: they share the lot with Walgreens right next to it so you can get free parking there.

The strangest layout and not the best seats.I went here for a free advanced screening so I was really excited to try this theater. It shares a parking lot with Walgreens and has a lot across the street for free parking. When you first walk in the lobby is right there. Very little and their are staircases on either side that lead up to the theaters. The concessions girl was nice and told me to head on up :) She also asked if I wanted anything before. They only have two sizes for popcorn. Small or large. I got a large. It was $11/12. I went upstairs to wait to be let into the theater.When they let us in I couldn't help but notice this theater was extremally small. The seats were so close together and not in a good way. Very packed/cramped. I heard other around us complain a little too.I understand that some theaters keep their old seats cause it's part of the theme or charm or history of the theater but this theater could defiently use an upgrade on seats and still keep the charm/theme of Mayan in the lobby. I do love free parking and the staff were all friendly and kind! But I don't know if I would go back to this location anytime soon only cause the seats are not comfortable and who wants to sit in an uncomfortable seat for 1.5 hours?

This neighborhood gem is a priceless reminder of days gone by. It's beautiful inside and out, and the seats are reasonably comfortable. The larger theater is downstairs with two smaller ones upstairs. The concessions have a nice variety and the bar upstairs is always a treat. Please remember to visit this place so it doesn't parish.

I absolutely loved the vibe/static of this place! The popcorn was delicious! I did think the ticket prices could be a little bit lower, but I get that it's expensive to run this kind of operation, and I do want to help keep it open for business.

I had some time to kill in Denver while visiting from out of town so I decided to catch a movie. I noticed this theater is operated by Landmark which is always promising because Landmark is one of the few chains that cares about preserving cinema culture. Needless to say, I was really happy I chose this theater.It's an old school movie house which is always a joy: the architecture is beautiful and it just has a certain charm you don't get very often anymore. Sure -- the seats don't recline, they don't serve cheeseburgers at your seat, and the sound won't rattle your bones, but sometimes you don't need that.The service was great -- it was nice to buy a ticket and my concessions at the same time. The movie I saw was in an upstairs almost balcony setup which was honestly a nice change of pace because it felt private and personal. It's worth noting, as someone who lives in a larger body, that the seats are on the smaller side, so if you're a bigger person this theater might not be the most accessible. That said, I was comfortable during the film's runtime.A nice addition at this theater is the upstairs bar which had alcoholic offerings; I didn't partake, but it's a good thing to note for the future. I did order concessions and the popcorn wasn't mind-blowing, but I still felt satisfied (and they went so far as to put butter in the middle and the top without asking which is always the sign of a pro).I can't wait to come back to Denver so I can see a movie in the main auditorium -- I peeked inside when I was leaving and it looks like a grand opera house!

The Mayan is a pretty cool-looking theater. Looks like there's a lot of history here. It's a small place, but I prefer those more than the big, overdone, large chains. And I prefer the types of movies shown at the smaller places, as well. You can buy your ticket and the booth in front in with windows facing the street, old-school style. Or sometimes, you just go inside to buy them if they don't have that extra body. They sell the typical movie snacks but also alcoholic beverages. And there is a second, bigger bar upstairs. If you haven't been, check it out. For eats & drinks before or after any show, The Hornet is a few steps away, just make sure they're open.

What a cool theater! There was plenty of free parking in the lot in back (by Walgreens). You get your ticket outside (at least that's how it was when I was there). Then you can get your refreshments inside. The architecture is very interesting. My only improvement area would be that there weren't cupholders in the seats.

I asked if the popcorn was fresh. They said it was. Worst popcorn and $10 spent. Do not recommend.

Tuesday, March 21st, 2023 party of 2 7:00pm Tuesday $7 movie special Private free after 5pm Mon-Friday and all day Sat/Sun parking lot behind theaterPurchased tickets online, surpassed line at theater, went straight in for snacks/drinks (nachos/drink $14) on 1st floor, theater and bar/sitting area was on 2nd floor I felt like I was on set of the Empire of Light movie Everything was perfection, such a cool historic theater, the vibe was so great and the staff were very friendly. The only con was the seats The drink holder/arm rest didn't come up and barley any leg room for short folks much less tall ones.

The Mayan Theatre is a classic venue on Broadway featuring some small indie and some big films coupled with small theatre charm. The popcorn is amazing and there is a bar on the second floor for libations. The theatres are cozy and it really makes for a great movie watching experience. You can pre-purchase tickets or buy them there. I wish they were a venue during UMS weekend because it would be awesome to see some bands there!Pro-tip: you can scope out the trailers ahead of time on their website.
