North Park Theater is a treasure, one that must be preserved, loved, and supported.Each and every screening/event, no matter what it may be, is an experience to behold.The staff is professional and friendly, their concession stand is versatile, and the venue itself is an enduring jewel from a glamorous past.

One of two refurbished classic movies houses in Buffalo. They run art house films and blockbusters. Old fashioned seats, great concessions featuring hard to find European and Japanese candy. Rumored to use real butter in the popcorn. (its delicious)This movie house was one of my childhood babysitters. Thrilling to see it live on.

We saw Loving Vincent on a Saturday in December. The movie was incredible, made even more so by the beauty of the theatre itself. We stayed after the credits to take pictures of the auditorium. Please contribute to the restoration project, we have so few of these treasures left.

This place is amazing , it’s look like you go back in time when you go in , the work that they did there of restoration off the place , great and romantic place to go for a movie , it’s not crowded in most of the times I went there but kinda cool to watch a movie with just few people , look for event on there web definitely cool place , also a lot of good restaurants around so you can go for dinner and a movie then for a bar , with no need of moving you car .

Worth going just to see the meticulously restored theatre. Excellent selection of films. Beautiful screen too. Id give it five stars except sometimes the audio is not clear and crisp.

North Park Theatre brings the classic look and feel of the big screen to life. The architecture is really nice and the staff was very pleasant. Watching the My Hero Academia: Two Heros movie was a blast at this old time theatre. The only 2 issues I have with the theatre was that sound quality was not up to date from the way the sound was playing during the movie and the parking situation in which there is no parking except parking on Hertel, which on a Saturday can be atrocious. Other than that, I highly recommend this place to others.

This place can be rented for HS graduation. The auditorium itself isnt large, but its a nice small there. The steps to the stage are a little scary, gotta be careful, there are no handles. Close to many small shops and restaurants, would return again.

The North Park Theatre considered Buffalos Finest Movie Theatre is another fine example of Buffalo restoring its historic buildings. The theatre is about to begin its final restoration right in time for the centennial in 2020..The North Park Theatre regularly has screenings of indie, classic, and new blockbuster movies. The theatre is also beginning to host various events and special live screenings of movies with celebrity actors such as Jay Mewes (Clerks) and Richard Dreyfuss (Jaws).

Love going here for movie night. I like that they mix stuff up sometimes with speakers, live music, themed nights, and so on. This place seems really in tune with what would bring people to a small theatre.

The North Park Theater is a great place to catch first-run movies or possibly an old classic. They have lots of interesting events throughout the year. The renovations to the theater are amazing. You really should check it out!

The North Park manages to be both a jaw-droppingly beautiful historic building, and a solid theater! Any movie date night is infinitely improved by going to North Park over regal or AMC.

If you miss that old fashioned theater feel, nothing beats North Park! Its got a grand interior and its typically cheaper than more contemporary options. Just dont expect any of that reclining seat nonsense they got going on these days. Youre here to watch a movie, not take a nap!

The only reason to go to a big theatre is perhaps for a new movie. The reason to go to North Park theatre is to see a GOOD movie. Its a great place for a cheap date and a good time. Good concessions. They do trivia before the movie. Only complaint is the comfort of the seats. Its non-existent

One of the best places in buffalo! Beautiful theater especially after the restoration and it has a gigantic screen. A staple of the buffalo film scene, this theater shows films that you would not be able to see in most commercial theater, its location on Hertel puts it near a wide variety of bars and eateries that you can goto before or after a film.

Mary Poppins Returns!!!Immaculate & impeccably restored- the theater warmly welcomed each guest.. The staff are caring & superb! And the movie... Did bring tears ... Bravo!

Our go-to cinema in Buffalo. The restored theater is beautiful, and its great to have all the restaurants and Hertel Ave shops right outside the door. Excellent staff, excellent popcorn. We keep an eye on the calendar as there are many one time specials at North Park Theater.

Yes, 10 stars. Beautiful marquee and interior, giant screen and great sound, a massively-eclectic mix of current blockbusters, family favorites, assorted classics, cult hits, and hard-to-find foreign gems, posters featuring commissioned artwork from local artists, themed concessions - North Park Theatre is literally the perfect theater and a neighborhood treasure.

I LOVE going to a matinee at the North Park on a rainy or cold afternoon. It is quiet and so beautifully redone! I recently saw The Children Act there. It is my first choice for a movie if something worthwhile is playing.

Review №59

It was my first time going to this theater, and I like that theres a stage in the auditorium. I was unaware that they had that. I like and appreciate the style and layout of the auditorium, mostly because of how nostalgic it is. Kind of reminds you of the auditorium at your old grade/high school. Not to mention having been completely blown away by the Dragon Ball Broly movie. Im at a loss for words, honestly. Its been years since Ive had such a great movie going experience! Such a positive and energetic crowd too. 10/10 hands down.

Dolby Digital projection. Not the brightest by todays standards, but ok. Speakers have room for improvement. Interior is classic. Great that to they have saved this theater and its helping bring back Hertel Ave. They get films wed never otherwise see in Buffalo.

Have been going to the North Park for years to see movies that are not shown at other theaters and cinemaplexes. The theater itself is an architectural gem from the 1920s and the new owners have recently restored it to its former splendor. The center section of the theater has all new seats, much more comfortable than the old ones which are still on the side aisles.

Brand new movies with an old time feel. I love this beautiful gem of a theater. The workers treat you so well and have artisinal as well as regular theater snack faire. The theater is so well kept up that it doesnt show its age. Its a beautiful place to go with a laid back atmosphere. The only downfall is the lack of parking.

Review №67

Large, old school movie palace with an enormous, clean screen that shows crisp images. The seating is extremely abundant and reasonably comfortable. The walls and ceiling are ornament works of art that have been painstakingly restored. This is easily the best indoor theater in Buffalo. The seats dont recline and there is no parking lot, but who cares. The classic ambiance more than makes up for any Petty shortcomings.

A great place to catch a movie. Im constantly delighted by its atmosphere. They are also very supportive of local artist. They have the best movie theater popcorn anywhere and a wide variety of snacks to choose from. I do wish they would play some harder to find films and some more classic films from the 50s like the Dryden in Rochester.

This is such a beautiful piece of Buffalo architecture & was well-worth the restoration. I really enjoyed my film experience, which was helped by the kindness of every single staff member. The concession pricing is surprisingly lower than what I expected & offers an interesting variety of international goods as well. So nice to see the sparkling marquee on every visit to Buffalo.

I. love. this. theater. Even if you have 0 interest in whats playing at the theater or youre here for 1 day and want to catch a film, visit this place. The outside is beautiful, but you will be even more impressed by the beauty of the inside. Every time I go, I always find something new that I didnt notice from my previous visit. North Park mainly plays independent films...but the experience of watching a movie there is worth the peek inside.

Review №84

Theater was really beautiful and well kept and the ticket prices are pretty good at 8.50$. The only thing I had a problem with was the astronomical food prices. I know movie theaters are notorious for their high mark ups but this place is insane. Paid 15$ for popcorn and two waters. Will definitely bring my own snacks next time I go here.

Great place! They have retro movie Nights which are amazing. I enjoy the newer Theaters with reclining seats that double as loveseats if youre with a date or have an empty enough theater to Lounge on to all by yourself, but its such a beautiful theater inside that the old-fashioned seats are just fine!

Probably the best locally owned movie theater in Buffalo. Always playing great films, the employees are extremely friendly, snack bar has a great selection, and the theater itself is beautiful.
