Stopped by for a cold pick-me-up (ice cream) on the home from Encore. The only . The customer service is awesome and Apple pie and pumpkin ice cream was good so overall was a good experience.

One of my favorite places to see any movie. The crowds are young and enthusiastic, you can buy beer and ice cream, and its part of the community.

Stopped by for a cold pick-me-up (ice cream) after a spontaneous bike ride to Minuteman. The only vegan options was Ritchies Italian ice I got the strawberry lemonade. It did not taste like freshness of strawberry nor tart tanginess of lemonade. Unsure how their flavors are blended but based on this alone I wouldve given 1star. However their customer service is awesome and partners German chocolate cake was good so overall was a good experience.If they read this, I hope they start writing mini descriptions under the ice cream names. Totally turtle isnt really clear what flavor this is.

Great little theatre, nothing bad about it. Has an ice cream place in the same building.

This movie theater has a lot going for it, which helps it to stand out.With creamery inside the theater, beer on tap for the adults, and reasonable ticket prices make this a very good movie theater. Coupled with a beautiful classic construction makes it lovely.Some might not appreciate the classic movie seats or the lack or ultra modern construction. For date night 9/10.. for the hyper serious movie goer 6/10.

Just a great, old-fashioned neighborhood movie theater, but comfy and clean. You can catch new movies, vintage ones, and also new ones way after theyre mostly out of theaters, which is great. They also have their own ice-cream parlor. You can organize birthday parties there too.

Great old school theater with reasonably priced tickets and snacks. It shows a good mix of what’s big at the box office and some smaller titles. If you want more artsy movies you might have to go into Cambridge or Somerville. Go see movies here. Plenty of parking on the side streets too.

The first time I went here was to see Avengers: Endgame, I thought it would be horrible because how old was, and my step farther cant here well so I thought he wasnt going to enjoy it. But when we completed the film, he said the sound was great, and ever since then weve watched films here. We saw Spider-Man FFH later, than Toy Story 4, and now Star Wars. I highly recommend this place, great service, they arent bland and just say nothing, they have full blown convocations with us, and the food is great. Everything is great

You want a movie that starts at the time thats on the ticket? This is the place, not only that but they have the locally small owned theater vibe that you cant get with the big theaters these days. Spacing was a bit small in the actual theater but thats really no big issue for me. Last and probably best is that ticket prices arent insane like they are at the big theaters. Go here for sure!

I have been going there for several years. Price is so affordable. Awesome place for childrens birthday party. Nothing is more fun for a kid than being with friends eating popcorn and watching a new movie on a giant screen. The private space is very big. You will get a more than you pay for when it comes to the popcorn and ice cream. Excellent staff service. They will cater to your needs to meet your expectations. I love the fact that you can bring your own cake if you desire.

Theres something about a retro movie theater. If youre looking for a luxury experience with gourmet food and reclining seats then dont bother, but if you want to see a movie and youre okay carrying your own food (okay I swear thats my last dig at the luxury cinema experience) then this is the best place. Beer options are surprisingly varied, and having an ice cream place in the building doesnt hurt if youre walking home after and want a snack on a hot day. All of that is worth about four stars, and the fifth star really is the decor - again, something about a retro theater.

Great atmosphere. Well managed and the staff is very friendly. Great showtimes. Very clean and organized. Decent prices. Enjoyed my movie night.

Best staff, best popcorn, and the main theater is lovely. Be warned that two upstairs theatres and the main restrooms are accessible only by stairs. But there is a single restroom on the ground level, and the listings mention which movies are upstairs.

Nice place and well kept, with a bit of older cinema charm. Adjoining Capitol creamery for ice creams and soft drinks, usual pop corn and stuff and a selection of decent beers on draft and in can. On a Friday night it was totally empty.

I love this little suburban theatre. Theyve preserved a classic building. Picture and audio are great. Seats are comfy. Popcorn is the best, with real butter. Great beer on draft and bottled - had an awesome chocolate stout. They show a lot of the interesting indie and art films that come up. The ice cream is awesome.

We were alone at the theater, watching the Sonic movie. It was great!

Great local theater for movies. Theater #1 is original I believe - large space, wonderful style.

Enjoyed going here with my six year old for a late afternoon movie. Very kids friendly. I also like that their theatres are mid-size, which results in less bad (far to the side) seats.

Classic old skol American movie theatre - for us as tourists this is, exactly what you need from your cinema experience when in the USA. Great service, seats & popcorn

One theater that has never let me down.

I work here

Love this place! Its been around for decades so it always feels like home. They have a great concession stand serving beer and wine along with the usual popcorn and candy. There is also an ice cream store in the lobby.

Always clean and very pleasant staff. Great movie ticket prices.

I like old fashioned movie seats... and deciding to go to a movie without planning a day or two in advance because there are only a few loungers in the place. Good old-fashioned movie experience. Oh yeah, with craft beer!

My favorite movie theater. You can get snacks and amazing fresh ice cream!

Perfect home town theater. My kid spilled a drink and they couldnt be nicer. Helped my boy get over the embarrassment.

Great classic movie theater. Picture quality great in all theaters, audio quality could be a bit better. But the price is very competitive, they serve beer, and if you have an Arlington Community card you can get popcorn for free.

This is an authentic local gem in every respect--the staff are incredibly welcoming, the beverages --wine, beer, coffees high quality along with a variety of delicious snacks. The movies are a fine mix of foreign, small and large productions in cozy theatres. However a big limitation is that there is only stairway access to the 2 theatres upstairs so inaccessible to those with physical limitations.

The only theatre I have seen with an ice cream shop a different spin on drink choices, plus the foods choices and prices are nice. It is quaint and so like it.

Fun place. Former art deco theater converted its two-level theater into multiple screening auditoriums. Built in Richardsons ice cream counter with shakes, sundaes and scoops/cones. Affordable relative to AMCs and Landmark theater, $11. Right next door to an Ottos, so you can get a tasty gourmet slice before or after the movie.

Convenient location, timeless Marquee, beautiful classic main screen theater.

A beautiful theater! The adjacent Capitol Creamery is a cherry on the top.

Nice to get away from the mall multiplex once in awhile. This place has character. Parking can be a little bit challenging though.

Great selection of movies that old home feeling and wonderful ice cream! Able to rent a private showing of a movie for a party, very cool!

Very comfy seats, cheap ticket price but the screen quality could be better (no complaints though), friendly staff, clean and easily accessible restroom. Overall, its good

An old timey movie theatre with a really fun vibe right off Mass Ave. I have always loved the throw back Thursdays in the summertime where they show old movies (space jam, bill murraython, ghost busters to name a few) and throw out free candy into the audience. It isnt the most fancy place and not typically a place to see movie premiers, but its such a cute spot with a unique atmosphere. The capitol theatre has always been on of my favorite movie theaters in the Boston Area. Would highly recommend visiting!

Fun, independent theater. The shows before 6 pm are discounted and you can get a glass of wine or a beer for the show.

Wonderful selection of movies, at an affordable price (especially the matinees). Offers a fine variety of snacks (mostly candy) and drinks. Plus the Capitol Creamery, attached to the movie theater, is arguably the best ice cream place in town. Does have smaller, less fancy seats and amenities than other theaters, but is very charming, loveable, and the best local option. A gorgeous historical building, with beautiful ornamental details in many of the theaters. Also a great place for birthday parties. A go-to place to meet up with friends or see the newest blockbuster.

Old theatre. What it lacks in amenities it makes up for in character. They have a good beer selection and they make their own popcorn!!Also, they have Richardson’s ice cream. Parking can be a little tricky, there is no lot. If you want to remember what it was like to go to the movies in the mid 90’s I recommend the capital. The Capital has a friendly staff and I personally prefer it to the big stadium seating of the new movie theaters.

Pretty great as a landmark. Its the more grown-up version of the Somerville theater. Its well kept and the people who catch films here tend to be polite and not taking phone calls. Okay beer list. ice cream and beer tend to be shut off while before your film just finished so stock up before you go in.

Nice place for birthday parties the kids had fun!!!!

Love this theater. Nicely renovated comfortable seating old style good pipcorn. Tickets less than Boston and Cambridge. Parking not that easy but ok.

Old world theater. Separated into multiple theaters. Concessions are not over priced. Clean and not crowded. No reserved seats.

Quanit local theater showing blockbusters along with offshoot nights and throwback events. Quick ticket purchases and never a line. More like going to see a movie in a giant fancy living room then a contemporary theater.

Extremely good experience here. We rented out the screening room for a 70th bday party and can’t say enough abt the tremendously helpful staff, the professionalism combined with personal touch, and efficiency of the operation from start to finish. Had many pre- party conversations the theater initiated, which helped things go smoothly. Generous ice cream servings and popcorn were real crowd pleasers. Tks!

Only a 2 star because of the female manager working at 1pm on 12/14/19. She was just plain rude.

Our favorite first-run theater! Great little movie house with old school architecture, excellent popcorn + beer and wine, and friendly staff. And the ticket prices cant be beat. Plus, theres a good pizza place next door to grab a slice before the show.

Easy to access...cheap tickets..good sound and picture quality...yummy food options...thats all what you need for a good experience :))

Good local theater. Seats are crowded and have small arm rests. No recliners, floor has sticky spots. Seats are unassigned. Sound is good, video is good. Seating varies massive between the theaters.

Ive hosted and attended several birthday parties there. They do a good job for a reasonable price. You pick the movie and bring the DVD or choose a current movie. They provide popcorn, drinks, ice cream, and toppings.Theres a little party area with tables inside the theatre or for a bigger party use the ice cream shop. Nice responsive service people too.

Just recently saw Teen Titans Go to the Movies here. It was great on their little screen. There isnt a ton leg room in the theater and the seats dont recline, so you have that old school vibe. The concessions were reasonably priced compared to the big theater chains. You can also get matinee pricing up until 6pm which is a plus.

Excellent prices on tickets for showings and the movies start very quickly (within a couple minutes) of the showing time as opposed to having to wait 15+min of advertisements. The chairs are comfortable and decor is very homey

You cannot beat the prices! Good selection of movies. Clean auditorium with comfortable seats. An older theatre, but again: the price makes itirrelevant. Clean bathrooms. Very happy with my first time experience.

Love the old time movie vibe. An antidote to the commercialized and overpriced experience found in most theaters. Plenty to eat and drink too!

Great venue. Has live bands, lectures etc

The theater is a blast from the past...Old nostalgic look... excellent prices

Nice and comfortable theater, with retro style decorations.

Great local small film joint. I would say they generally cater to the older crowd + kids (I feel the film selection is more high brow + children movies).The concession stand is reasonably priced, and they have great popcorn (they have free popcorn flavor shakers).Also an ice cream place attached to it, but I dont have much experience with it.

The Capitol Theatre is an old favorite. The tickets and snacks are sold at good prices. The staff here is friendly and helpful. This theatre is a great, easy stop for a family on a rainy day!

Great movie theater just a little dirty.

We went here to see the new Fantastic Beasts movie and got a weekend matinee. It was pretty full in the theater but there were still empty seats to choose from (lots of couples seats but difficult to find three seats all together) so we ended up in the very back row.It wasnt an immersive movie experience because its a smaller theater and the room didnt get completely dark. But it was a nice experience and Id definitely go again.

Good value theater. Not HD or crazy good sound so I wouldnt go for an action flick, but something with lots of dialogue its a steal.

Quaint theater. Not an AMC or showcase. Great place to see movies on their first opening weekend. Not crowded.

This is one of my favorite places. Best popcorn anywhere and TBT movies. Who could ask for more!

Seats arent as nice as modern theaters of course

Such a cool, historic little indie movie house. I love when things from days gone by survive to remind us what were missing.

Great movie theater. Historical but up to date projection. Restored beautifully and comfortable. Sound very good. They show Indie and 1st run movies. Great neighborhood theater.

Baby matinee. Very comfortable to see so many people with babies that no one was disturbed in movie. Perfect for new and growing families. Toddler was more challenging.

Love the ice cream here! Lots of delicious flavor options. Pretty good sizes. Great value. Added bonus if you like the smell of popcorn it ALWAYS smells like popcorn in there since it is inside the movie theater. This place turned me on to nerds as a topping. Highly reccomend the strawberry with nerds. Also the purple cow fro yo is delicious!

We went to the encore premier of Scarlet Cay in one of the private theatres and it was very nice. Very clean and comfortable with great refreshment offerings.

We, my family that is, absolutely love this theater. Always a pleasant, joyful, community experience. We frequent the Capitol, have had a few of our kids birthday parties there, and highly recommend it all. Everything offerred in their ice cream shop is delicious as well.

Its delightful. You should go. Dont go expecting giant screens, luxury recliners, and assigned seating. Go because its local. Go because real butter on your popcorn. Go because its actually cute and its what movie going should be like.I walk 3 miles to this theater instead of to the closer AMC in Assembly Row because its my favorite. Heart Emoji.

Great price for a pre 6pm show. All seats good view. Parking on street or convenient to public transportation.

Booked a theater. Amazing experience.

One of the only theaters that still offers that shakey popcorn powder for free!! I’d go just for that, but I also love their seasonal events and affordable matinees. Look for fun throwback horror features around Halloween! There’s also an ice cream shop inside the theater if regular theater fare isn’t enough for you.Be warned: their largest theater room can be cold in the winter and hot in the summer. Dress accordingly.

Good time, great staff, land mark theatre!

This is my favorite theatre of all time. Its great if you have children and you love the vintage movie feel. I try to bring my Son at least twice a month, they play current and new movies at a very reasonable price. Sometimes my Son and I see a blockbuster for 14 dollars, he has his kids meal for 5 and I have an ice cream or frozen yogurt for 3 and we enjoy our movie for less than 25 dollars.I feel if you are paying 13 dollars per ticket to see a movie then you should NOT be in seats that are going to recline and make you fall asleep. I will always choose Capitol Theatre!

What a cool place! Very fun theater with an ice cream bar! Seats are comfortable and everything is clean and updated. Cozy and awesome.

Wonderful old theater that has been carved up to have several screens. Reasonably priced. Beer & will e available if over 21. Fresh popcorn with REAL butter.

Excellent, popcorn and beer sounds so good. Better than coke.

An excellent choice for any one looking to do it to em. 5 stars

$8 movie theater, cant complain. It reminds me of the Orphium in Boston but with a screen. Watched Endgame on the 2nd weekend and it wasnt even sold out.

Very well organized even for a sold-out show. Be aware though there is no parking lot. The gradient in the seating arrangement is not very steep so that someone tall might pose a problem if they sit in front of you. Bathroom could be a tad updated.

Wonderful cinema great prices beer and wine can be taken in and good films.

Adorable old school theatre, well maintained, with EIGHT beers on tap, plus decent wine, the usual movie snacks, and an attached ice cream parlour. Shows indie and big budget movies. Very family friendly.

FUN, I go with my youngest & family who live down the street for fun movies. Went to Ottos for pizza after or somewhere nearby. Several theaters, for different showings etc. Cute spot.

Great movie theater with an old school feel. Awesome popcorn and Richardsons ice cream. Love to take the kids there. Lots of family friendly movies.

Funky old fashioned movie theater.

Friendly, great movies!! I wish I lived closer!!

Wonderful Old Style movie theatre. Friendly and hospitable employees. Only wish they showed more movies I’m interested in.

My favorite theatre forever

A great local theater, smaller than the bigger chains but in a great local location. Prices are good and they use real butter on the popcorn. They have 5 theaters, and I recommend checking which theater they are showing which movie in. The main theater is great and the others can be hit or miss with smaller screens and not as great of sound. Their partnership with the ice cream shop and serving beer and wine and is the icing on the cake.

Well kept local theater with comfortable NON-RECLINING seats. I find the reclining seats in the chain theaters very uncomfortable if you want to sit upright. Much better pricing than the chain theaters too.

Love the baby matinee

There is just something about viewing a movie in a small movie theater that helps with the experience. Thoroughly enjoyed Beautiful Boy. The material hits close to home.

Not the best or most updated theater, but $7 tickets beats the $15 everywhere else. The nice thing was that the sound wasnt deafening, which is the case with a lot of the newer theaters. It seems nice for bringing the family, they have an ice cream bar and refreshments, but it was a little crowded and it doesnt look like the place was designed for big crowds. Overall I had a good experience.

Nice old fashion movie theater. Clean and pretty. No need to book online. Just go and enjoy your movie

This local, independent theatre is one of the best! It doesnt offer the newest technology. Instead it specializes in showing good movies at great prices. It also serves beer and wine. And offers weekly mom and baby screenings for new parents who need to get out of the house!

Great place, showing great art.

Movies with minimal commercials. Theatre at reasonable prices. Popcorn and whatnot if you wish. No complaints so far.
