Kentucky Theatre

We were here for the A Kentucky Evening with William Shatner. A screening of the documentary of "William Shatner: You can call me Bill". This was a promotional event by Legion M, which is the world's first fan owned entertainment company.The feature was the documentary, directed by Alexandre O. Philippe will give fans a glimpse into the legendary actor's life and career in the entertainment industry. The event will also featured a live hour-long Q&A session with Shatner. Shatner was humorour, insightful and compassionate in this wonderful tributate to the man. He is a inspiratation, demostrating a unquie zest for life grounded in his personal philosphy of "living in the now." The event was emceed by Doug and Lyssa High by ABC 36 News.Kentucky Theater is always our first choice for seeing movies in Lexington. The seats are not ultra plush and reclining, but they are comfortable. The overall theater experience is great. The staff is always so accomdating and willing to help resolve any issues. A true tresure, that is a prime event venue.

This is an historic old school theater with two large theaters, more like performing arts auditoriums. There is a giant concession area in the front lobby. It was fun to go to a movie here and also support this fine old establishment. Parking is available a block away on a side street in a lot if you can't find it on the street out front. If I get to go here again I'd try to sit center but not in the front row. P. S. I loved the Barbie movie, and I've seen it twice so far.

We love the Kentucky Theatre! Such a beautiful place with classic vintage vibes! Highly recommend!

I was surprised to find this theater showing a niche art house kind of movie. I thought the building might have been for stage shows rather than films, because I've had a couple of instances where I wanted to see niche movies and had to go to Cincinnati to find a theater that was showing them. But at least some unique options are on display here.The building is retro and the main theater quite massive, though the screen itself actually looks kind of small by comparison. I doubt the seats are full often given the nature of their business, though the bathrooms were as they were not big by comparison. But all these things drift away if you find something worth watching, which is not easily done these days.

A beautiful theatre! Staff was very friendly, popcorn was delicious. We loved this theatre and will continue to return!

Okay... easily one of the coolest local movie theaters I've been to!! We came here when Greg Sistero was hosting a screening for The Room (Ya know, the best worst movie ever made?) and that was quite an event to experience with a full audience. This theater is gorgeous and I couldn't stop mentioning that. It has that vintage feel, with the giant marquee out front and has interior on the inside that makes you feel like you are about to see a Broadway show. There is also a stage in front of the movie screen, so not sure if they do staged performances here. This place is lovely! I'd be excited to see another movie here.

Really nice place! The brightly lit marquee is a classic move. They have posters plastered up in that old fashioned way. Super cute when you walk in, lots of visuals of old movies on the mirrors. One decal of Casablanca and one of the Bride of Frankenstein. Their rotation of movies - I appreciate that they offer unique and foreign ones. Not for me, but cool! We went when they were showing Carrie. The staff is chill. We came super early and we got to sit in the lobby. Once it came time to get snacks, it was easy and straightforward. They have a glass display of all the candies they have and the old popcorn machine. They give you a LOT for your money with the offer to butter it. Seat wise - the auditoriums are HUGE. You choose your own seat. Coming early, we were able to get in a good row. The trailers they show are kind of a mix between stuff that would've shown alongside the movie you're watching at the time period and new stuff they're showing at the Theatre. Overall, the movie quality is about the same as going to any other place. It's worth going to for the historical value. Great experience!

A Lexington staple. Walking into the Kentucky Theatre is like stepping back in time. There's a concessions area with popcorn, of course, and an alcohol selection. The theatre itself is large with plenty of seats and beautiful architecture. Limited releases, independent films and specialty movies are typically shown here. We enjoyed the classic Halloween. It transformed the movie to see it in a theatre setting. The experience was wonderful. Everyone should check out this Lexington site.

You can't help but feel a little bit fancier when seeing a movie at the Kentucky Theater. When you first walk in the ornately designed lobby, you immediately are transported into a different time period. Though the screens here may not be as big, your movie-going experience beats going to any cine-mega-max new movie theater hands down. Ticket prices are comparable to most theaters in KY (if not a smidge cheaper) and concessions are priced more reasonably as well.I really like that The Kentucky will feature some great indie gems that I would never have discovered otherwise. There are only two theaters here, so the movies played and show times are more limited. However, there is plenty of seating!

Fred is the best! So much more to do than movies. Many music acts and ballet as well as art. Beer and wine with concessions are very affordable.
