Just got back from there pop up cinema watching the movie Get Out. Once again amazing experience! I cant wait for the next Out side movie night!

I cant say enough about how great this theater is. One family member is hearing impaired we were so happy to find out that Grail can run the movies with captions on demand!!! We will probably see all movies there from now on.The theater itself has good seats with some theaters having chairs and love seats.

The Grail Moviehouse is a gem! The atmosphere is cozy. I was in theater 1 with standard seating. The temperature was good, the picture quality and sound were good as well. The only issue I had was that during my movie, which was a French foreign film, I could hear people talking through the walls. It was a little distracting, but nothing major. The staff was very friendly and attentive. Ill definitely be back!

Great local movie house. Not a mall type theater experience. Small 75-100 seat multi screen. Some conventional seating, some comfy chairs. Local snacks too! For a small indie movie house they get all the big movies in timely fashion.

First time there, went to see the movie Honey Boy. This place is a gem, awesome staff, not too much salt on the popcorn (believe me that’s an issue) and old fashioned style movie watching. Loved the fact I could watch the movie while hugging with my husband on the sofa, it was cozy and quiet almost like a private show. You can’t beat that.

First off this is definitely an experience. Everyone should try it at least once. Employees was very nice. The bathroom is fun lol.Plus the seating. It made u feel at home ;-) Hope to visit again from Knox tn

This was such a cool place. It’s a very mom and pop, small venue theatre. The tickets were very reasonable. Plus they sell beer, which was a major plus. I would definitely go back the next time I’m in Asheville. Highly recommend checking them out.

Love grail! any theatre with booze is good but their film selection is on point. staff is on point and their seats are couches and comfy chairs.

Groovy small movie house. Staff was low-key and very friendly. Quality show and for once the movie volume did not leave me with tinitis on departing the theatre.

We love Grail Movie House. The theaters have couches, or comfortable seating. It’s a totally different experience than one would have at an imax etc. I feel like I can truly relax and enjoy myself at this place. The audience is almost always completely made up of adults that are quite and respectful. The concessions are completely adequate. It’s an Asheville activity that I don’t think you should miss out on.

This cozy, locally owned, movie house is usually my first choice when looking for big screen show. Though they only have a couple shows at a time, their marque frequently updates with popular contemporary and indy films.

Awesome place to catch a movie. Its great to see a non-corporate entity survive in a hostile and barely profitable industry. The facility was nice and well kept, the snacks were good and its AVL so of course they have beer.

A nice, snug place of an art-house theater (sofa seating included) that shows documentaries, Indies, new big-budget studio releases and classic films. In addition to that, local film festivals are held here (including Cat Fly Indie Film Fest) and even screening fundraisers for noble causes. Dont forget to grab a drink and popcorn at the snack bar!

We went and saw The Rise of Skywalker here, it was awesome. Tiny theater that wasnt crowded at all, and did I mention it was opening weekend for this film? A true Asheville hidden gem! We will definitely be back. They had a great snack selection, including a wide selection of local beers. Check this out if youre looking for something a little less mainstream. Plus youre supporting a local business!

Grail has everything I need for a great experience: cozy theatres, friendly staff, and local vendors for snacks and drinks. The modern atmosphere with vintage throwbacks is very inviting for enjoying a good film. I just have a better time coming here than a big theater chain.

A very comfy place to see a movie. The staff are very friendly. Theater is clean and neat. Nice concession area.

Great local movie theater. Shows are a good mix of current film titles, art films and local documentaries. Snackbar includes local beer and wine selections and Poppy popcorn.

Nice little movie tavern. Great quality on the picture and audio and lovely, comfy couches and armchairs. A great place to watch something unusual

Great local theater with comfy seats and friendly service. And they serve beer! Buy local, that includes your movie tickets.

Love Grail! It’s a gem. Intimate with a great selection of movies, beers, and great popcorn.

First time visitor to see a movie not being screened in Knoxville. Parking was fine on a Wed morning but Im not sure where I would park on busy Friday evening. Comfortable, vlean, recommended. Ill be back.

I personally enjoyed the experience of going to a theater that reminds me of being a kid. Nothing fancy, but they do offer first run films as well as vintage films.Seating is simple, ticket prices are great, and concessions dont break the bank. Popcorn is yummy.Only real parking is a across the street from the building and requires payment, even on the weekend.

What a great, local movie house! They had some current box office smashes showing, but I went to see The Biggest Little Farm. What an amazingly great documentary! And the theater it showed in is so quaint . . . Feels a bit like watching in someones living room. Loved the whole experience.

Cool, low key place to watch movies downtown. Great snacks and a solid amount of drink options.

Nice theater for your small run and indie movie I really like this place.

Love this locally owned theater! Local snacks. Cool film Selections! Cool displays in the lobby.

Great place to watch a movie, comfortable chairs, and couches, clean restrooms, and good popcorn. Not sure why they felt the need to insult all of Trumps supporters before the movie, but thats our tolerant leftist for ya.

Always a good time. They get movies that no one else has in town. And on Sundays they have a silent movie, with a pianist that plays the music of the day the movie that came out.

Great local movie house where we support our own Hometown companies

Cute little moviehouse. Would like to see more movies here. Seems to be smaller independent movies more regularly.

Small intimate theatre. Like watching a movie on the big screen in your living room.

Grail is a great movie theater for if you want a low-key experience but you still want to see new movies. This is not your average movie theater as its much smaller than usual and only shows a handful of movies at a time, however the movie selection is always good and the theaters themselves are rarely crowded. They have a plethora of local snacks and movie theater favorites all at a pretty high premium but what movie theater has cheap snacks. Overall this is a good place to get away from the bustle of downtown and catch a movie.

Love love love this place. Great selection of indie movies and docs. Super comfy seating, too!

So happy AVL has an awesome arthouse cinema. I saw Mandy here opening night. I dont think any other theatre in this area had the courage to show that glorious film.

No frills, but has everything you need for a great movie experience - and its a local business!

Wonderful concept and loved our experience so much we came back to see the same film two days in a row! Awesome work y’all! Keep bringing the magic of the movies!!!!

This is a wonderful theater. The staff are terrific and the movies are first rate.

A great local theater with variety of independent, hard house and popular Cinema. Comfy chairs, popcorn, beer and beverages.

Great adventure into this movie plex, really cool idea with the bucket style seating, and the lounge chair bottom flooring, lots of comfy space, the acoustics are excellent and the screen size is perfect for all seats, movie experiences are back in vogue.

Went here to see Midsommar a couple weeks ago, while I was visiting the Asheville area. It was an interesting little spot. Not your typical theater layout. The movie room has about 2 rows of theater seating in the back and about 3 rows of big living room type chairs/couches towards the front. It was still comfy though. It seems like the kind of place where you would find locally-made and indie films. I could also see it as a teen hangout spot.

Best place to see a movie in town. Great selection of snacks and beverages and movies.

Very intimate and warm and cozy movie house. Highly recommend.

I appreciate the low key atmosphere. Unlike at other theaters, the Previews are not blasted at hearing damaging decibels for an interminable period before the feature. I find the film choices are usually more interesting. I like the location. The sound quality could be better though.

Chill place to catch a flix and enjoy a beer. I just wish they would offer butter or some version of fake butter for the popcorn... But Ill be back. Sans popcorn, more beer...

Such a fun place to watch movies!! Funky and great movies there too!

Hidden downtown gem. Love the local feel. They have successfully created a casual, fun and very Asheville-style ambiance. We will definitely go back! Oh and check out the bathroom... seriously!!

Wait until you see this place!! What a wonderful alternative to visiting a traditional movie theater. There is an old school vibe inside with a few displays of movie theater memorabilia. Its cheaper than a regular theater too, and the concessions have great choices. Their popcorn is not as good as other places BUT Im impartial to treating myself to the buttery 1000 calorie buckets where the oils get all over your pants. For healthier popcorn, its actually pretty darn good! Inside the theater there are choices of chairs, loveseats, and even Lazy Boys to choose from!! The reason why they didnt get 5 stars is because the screen is kinda small, and I really got used to being spoiled by stadium seating at other places (so you can see better). Other than that, you gotta check out this place!! Go early so you can get the loveseat with your date!

It was so cool looking like a really old movie theater showing modern movies from today and the seating was normal theater seating but also they had sofas and couch style seatings up front and handicapped accessible bathrooms as well as seating

Nice local movie theater. Like to support local businesses. Walls are a little thin. We were able to hear the movie next door.

Really liked the vibe of this place. Great small theatres and great beer selection and snacks. Sound was NOT good! Couldnt hear about 1/3 of the conversation on screen .Speakers on the floor up front dont reach ears in the middle of the theatre...

Comfortable & cozy. Not run- of-mill flicks

Great seats, I like that the prices include taxes. The bathroom though, the gap between the door and frame is significant.

Great service and nice theatre. Had a blast.. would come back..

Thoroughly enjoyed the experience. And a really nice personal venue. The staff or absolutely wonderful at answering questions and being helpful. Highly recommend anyone who enjoys the cinema.

Awesome. Cool place, great prices, just an awesome place.

Neat movie house. Very unique place.

Into it. Feels like a basement theater. Loved the quirky vibe.

Love the Grail. Weve seen a few movies here, and always had a great experience. My favorite things are the intimate theaters (which have not been crowded when weve been) and the fact that they are such strong partners with other local independent businesses. Their snacks are almost (completely?) local products, and their ad reel is chock full of promotions for local businesses. Seats are comfy, snacks are fairly priced, and the location is awesome. If youre visiting downtown and plan to work a movie into your trip, this is the place. Make it your mid-afternoon stop as you stroll and sip the local brews. Highly recommended.

Wonderfull place to see independent films and artists work.

Great locally owned theater. Gets a good selection of films that others theatres around town dont. The theaters are small by cozy. The snack bar has a great selection of local snacks and brews. Be sure to get a mix in with your popcorn. The only downfall is you can sometimes hear the sound from the other theaters, but that rarely happens.

Wonderful people, super cute setup of local food (try any of the sunshine sammies) and drink (the Brahmari sour was delicious), and a hilarious Bad Movie Nite!, as expected. I definitely recommend going there... You will see me there again! :-)

I love this movie house! It has the feel of a small local business while still maintaining several screens. At first I thought they were going to be limited to independent films, which is all good and well, but my most recent visit was for opening night of Black Panther. Yep, they do big production films as well.Definitely my new favorite place to go see movies!

Great small theater, seats are comfy, couches are available for couples who wanna cuddle up. Sound and screen are great. They always play top quality films, big budget or indie, new and classic, you wont see anything bad here. And its just good to support small local theaters like this. Only gripe is no cup holders! Itd be cool if they figured out a way to attach some cup holders to the chairs / couches. Not a deal breaker just a suggestion!

I love this theatre so much. Small, quaint, with old theatre house feel. Such a refreshing change from the mega plexes. And nice selection of indie and obscure films.

Delightful movie watching experience, from local snack and drink options to couch seating to old school fine arts cinema feel.

The Grail Moviehouse is a treasure -- perhaps a grail? -- of the Asheville area. A fantastic selection of well-curated films, tasty snacks and beverages, and staff that are clearly knowledgeable and enthusiastic about the theater. Comfy armchairs and couches for the seating.

This place is a local treasure. Go see something here, you wont be disappointed!

Love this place. Intimate screens and they play both Hollywood hits and indie films.

Cant say enough good things about this place. Just being here puts me at ease, its like being home with the old neighborhood gang with snacks, couches, shoes off, etc. Excellent (and intelligent) film choices; personal touches throughout the intro are a hoot. Love it here!

Love it. A local treasure.

Movie sound is acceptable, picture was good. Love the drink selection, but pricey. Seats are less than desirable, however, but my wife and I will return since we have a gift certificate. Not sure we will be going back unless they upgrade the seating thereafter. Two hours on a broke seat is uncomfortable. Still gets four stars because Im a sucker for small, local businesses.

Love this little art house theater.

What a GREAT independent movie theater. And 3 choices of foreign/independent movies that are shown in festivals everywhere and/or discussed in film critic magazines!The seats are wonderful. If the movies werent so interesting, you could fall asleep on the sofas in Theaters 2&3. And, theres parking! A valuable commodityin downtown Asheville. I highly recommend the Grail Moviehouse and hope it continues to thrive.

Love visiting The Grail any chance I get! Comfortable theaters, a great selection of new releases, independent films, and classics (such as B movies, silent films, and so on). They have a great selection at their snack bar, which includes beer, wine, and hard cider as well as some local offerings. Great staff, love the owners, and totally dig the vibe. Highly recommended!

Nice little theater. Did not like the closed captioning scrolling at the bottom of the screen. I was able to ignore it most of the time, but was distracting.

This is a FANTASTIC indepentent movie house. You can top the staff with your debit card as well. I am so glad the Grail came to town!

A theater thats classically cool with a great sense of humor! Bad Movie Nite tonight had me in stitches. Its the little details: choosing a quirky pin from a popcorn bucket, the local concessions, a cigarette machine holding only locally made bits of art & the assorted theater chairs mixed with love seats. Thank you for a wonderful night Grail Moviehouse!!

Great little theater. Good service and easy to access. And its the best place to watch any film that had a cult following.

Amazing local movie house. Great beer on tap, good run of movies!

Cool (newer) arthouse theater downtown with an interesting selection of both studio and lower-budget films. Great concession stand, too.

Love this little movie boutique!

Amazing place with great selections of films and beers!

I saw Heritage here. Which is by far the best horror movie Ive ever seen. The beer selection is decent, and the seating is awesome. Tickets are a little pricy, but nothing too much more than the average theater.

This is comfortable and fun. Shabby chic but fun

Fantastic experience! Grail has probably the nicest people Ive ever met, a soothing atmosphere, and supremely comfortable seating. Highly recommend!

I had a great time. Loved the snack options. They have LaCroix- the best! I thought the theatres themselves were a bit echo-y. No carpeting or sound proofing was in when I went. Not sure if that has or will change. I liked the general feel of an old, industrial building being updated and put to a new use.

Friendly, clean, reasonable priced. Good for family or date. Please give us a big screen experience without the social-political in your face message. Just a good old fashion movie selection. Less preachy more entertaining.

Most adorable and definite throwback to older theaters. A gem!

Grail Moviehouse provides an intimate screening environment. Sound and screen in proportion to the room. No earaches from overly loud previews. Local goodies at the snacks bar. Hooray!

Great place to see films.

The Grail is what every movie theater should be: small, intimate, comfortable, run by true fans of good cinema. Even the popcorn and sodas are reasonably priced. The Grail is the antithesis of national movie house chains and fits snugly into the Asheville ethos. A perfect way to enjoy a weekend afternoon or evening.

Locally-owned. Super clean. Small theaters, so every seat is s good one! You can use your Go Local card here for discounts.

Best place to catch a movie in Asheville and support an incredible local business at the same time.

I love this place, great food/drink bar and cozy little theatre. I love the larger selection in movies they are bringing in lately!

This place is amazing! If you are visiting Asheville and are going to movies make it a local experience. the people here have put a lot into making this place great and it is a welcoming environment. I have never had so much fun at the movies! Went to the sneak-peek of guardians 2, was part of a radio show, won a costume contest! Thanks grail house, see yall soon!

This was my first time and we loved it here! Such a neat little theatre

Interesting place to see a movie. Support your local vendors! I had a wonderful first experience at the Grail. Most of the foods and beverages sold at the concession stand are from local venders as well.

Great concession prices. Also nice seating. Overall awesome experience!

Good local cinema, shows more off the beaten track films

I love this little theater. One of the best things about Asheville. They love movies. The world needs more places like this.
