Highland Theater

Finally - no young punks!Went to the Highland Theater recently to see Up in The Air. We typically hit the suburban mega plex, but since we LOVE the Highland Grill, we made an evening out of it.Pros -Price is right - $6.25 per ticket and concessions are reasonablePopcorn and DC - deliciousCrowd - no punks, so I didn't have to give the SHHHHHHHHHHH or the stink eye.Seats - they rock back and forthCons -Minimal parking, but I won't hold it against them.I think this may be our new preferred theater.

When a couple brings in two toddlers to see an Agatha Christie murder mystery, it's not because they think those toddlers will be delighted by the clever policing skills and exotic Belgian accent of detective Hercule Poirot. It's because it was cheaper to bring those kids into a movie than to pay for a babysitter, and they don't care how much their noisy kids bother others during the movie. (Exhibit B: the dad's phone went off LOUDLY.) When that dad responds to a request to keep quiet with "move to a different seat or shut your mouth", and the theater's management doesn't kick that family out, that theater should expect a one-star Yelp review. So here's one.This is an old-fashioned movie theater in most ways. It does at least have a modern digital projection system, even if the image isn't perfectly centered. The concession stand offerings are no different than you would have seen in a little neighborhood cinema forty years ago. The auditoriums predate stadium seating, but the aging seats rock back quite comfortably. Parking is a big hassle. Between that and the cramped space around the box office and concession stand, a space so tiny it's as if they expect very few customers at a time, it seems like the idea is to cater only to moviegoers that live within walking distance. If you drive, you'll just have to look around for street parking, which is scarce and which largely comes with 1-hour or 2-hour limitations (during the day at least).You might very well find this theater appealingly dainty if you don't have a problem like the one I had. But if you do, you can expect it to be handled poorly. I will not return to this theater, and I can assure you that you have better options for moviegoing venues.

Very disappointing experience here. The theater itself is very nice. Old school (in a good way), cheap enough tickets, comfy seats,...Unfortunately, during our particular movie, a group of three middle school or so aged kids were on their phones, shouting, literally getting up and sitting on each other, off and on throughout the movie. There's people talking during a movie, and then there's this. I've never been at a movie with anything like it. Anyway. I finally got up and went out to the main area, told the staff about it, and went and sat back down. Maybe another 10 minutes, kids are still doing it, and no one from the theater has done anything. Go out and say something a second time. The lady (I believe the manager of the shift, Amber?) actually came in this time, sat a seat away from them for maybe 5 minuets, during which time they of course behaved, then left again. The rest of the movie went about the same of shouting and phones from the three, and I wasn't going to bother getting up to complain a third time with no actual response from the manager. It's really disappointing. I can't hold it much against the kids - even if they should know better, they are still just kids. Everything else about the theater was good, so I'd imagine most peoples' experiences here will be good. But with a manager that cares this little, and so many options for good movie theaters around the cities, I won't be back.

Great, local movie theater. If you're looking for a classic old fashioned cinema with great popcorn, this is it. Special prices on some days of the week (? Tuesdays) make it even better!

As a neighborhood loyalist and long time fan of this theatre, I was truly dissatisfied in the new upstairs chair type and theatre layout.The chairs are crammed together like I am flying with Delta. Not only are they to tightly crammed, they are designed for a viewer who is short in stature. If you are taller than 5'5 you will be very uncomfortable.Wish customer's comfort had been top of mind when the redo happened at this neighborhood gem.Please rethink the upstairs chairs.

This is an older theater and is reminiscent of my childhood. I love it for that alone. Yes it's not as lush as some of the newer places but it feels so right and much more like a destination and treat than stopping shopping at the mall for a show. There are plenty of good places to eat here and the price is right. Make a date and enjoy a movie in the old style.

My friend brought me here to watch a movie with a message (...). I thought it will be an old movie theatre, smelly, badly maintained, but no, it was clean neat red carpet and red seat (if I remember well). The movie was relatively social and sad, there were few people in bar night, but I still remember how cool this place was (after wiping those tears). Quality and sound system were very good and up to the standards.

It was wonderful! The staff were so friendly ,the seats were comfortable and the tickets were cheap as well as the food. It was an old school movie theater and reminded me of a roller skating rink. Overall I really recommend coming here.

A sweet older neighborhood movie house. Convenient and and shows fairly recently released movies

First and last time I'll go to Highland Theater 2 (upstairs). No space between rows at all (worse than airline coach), small screen, garbage all over the floor!! Can't they sweep the floor every few months whether it needs it or not? I'm surprised at the owners thinking they can squeeze the rows so close together and that folks will continue to return to the chicken coop upstairs. The seating would be perfect for an elementary school-sized person. The men's room was tiny and atrocious! You open the door and walk on the sticky floor directly into a urinal 2 feet in front of you!
