Great selection of films you cant see at most of the other theaters. Theater itself is nice, though its setup like a stage theater vs a movie theater, so the screen if farther back than youd expect.Sound was good and picture quality was also good. The seats could be a bit more ergonomic, I found myself not being able to stay comfortable in them for very long and kept shuffling in my seat during the movie.

Really nice, almost shiny and with a very nice staff. Small but charming, in a way the Carolina Theater is not. Ten times nicer than AMC.

What a lovely theater! We were greeted by very friendly people as soon as we walked in the door. Our tickets were a bargain at $6 each and there were tasty beer and wine options available right inside the theater. The theater was comfortable and the film (The Kingmaker) was excellent. Cant wait to get back there soon!

Love this joint. I appreciate living within walking distance to a theater that shows movies that very few people want to see. Has a very Art House feel. I would volunteer there, but Im really lazy and generally too tired from walking back and forth to the theater. Has a coffee shop within the building that is better than Starbucks, but...to be honest, Starbucks sucks, so.....Love this joint.

Nice intimate theater

I attended the Old North State Storytelling Festival on Saturday, Nov. 2. It was wonderful. The Cary theatre is great place to hold a live program--an intimate space where there are no bad seats!

Nice little theater with very affordable ticket prices. They had beer and wine for purchase. Will be returning for more movies here!

This is a great little gem with a fantastic film series an amazing music series called six string presents, and surprising little performances it couldnt Shillings from him but youre always great.

Had a fantastic time with family to watch White Christmas concert n the big screen! They do a wonderful job to make it a special night of Christmas memories!

A great venue. Had a great time seeing Jonathan Byrd here.

Finally went to a show there - its a wonderful venue in a nice neighborhood.

Awesome place for Art House movies and original music/concerts.

Interesting monthly selections of Indie and retro and documentary films. Leave a few extra minutes to find parking. And be aware that the seats are on the small side.

Its a nice little theatre that does a good job of getting interesting shows. Theres not really a bad seat in the house.

Simple old fashioned theater with all the modern technology integrated into it. Seats are a bit uncomfortable if you compare with other movie places, but ok for a smaller length movie or show. Its accompanied by a great coffee and beer bar and overall gives a great ambience

Just moved near downtown Cary in late 2018 and finally got to see a movie here when Free Solo was playing. Its got a great vibe for a smaller theater and to me is one of the beauties of Main Street. Love the old school Marquee!! My wife and I will definitely be visiting regularly!

Tonight was my first time at Cary Theatre but it wont be my last! It is a small, cozy place showing mostly indie films. You can purchase specialty coffee or wine along with snacks to bring with you while you watch the show! If you get chilly, they have clean blankets for you to use! Highly recommend!

Nice people and rather good for an old Theater with good sound...kinda tight seats.

Great selection of movies. What they play isnt showing anywhere else around. Indies & kids offerings, live concerts & comedy, all in an intimate theater. Great service and they even provide clean blankets if you get chilly! Check out Brew coffee shop which is connected to the theater and sells the theaters snacks & packaged popcorn as well as a small menu with nice options. Local beer selection. Chill, fun vibe!

Just a nice old school Theater. Nice concessios..clean.. friendly staff..a pleasant experience.

Great location, clean and well staffed. I find the events and movies to be a perfect compliment for Carrys diversity and educated population. A few items need to be addressed; parking and larger restrooms.

We really enjoy the First on Chatham Sunday morning service

Check this place out. A gem with many unique events.

Great small town theater, not a bad seat in the house. The staff was very friendly. Went for comedy night, will definitely go back again.

This was a very comfortable theater with accommodations for accessible parking in the alley behind the theater.There were also arrangements in the theater for wheelchair seating and accompanying guests.We were also greeted by friendly staff.

I love The Cary Theater. We have seen some great movies and comics. I appreciate the revitalization of downtown Cary. I am proud to live here!

Fantastic, intimate theater. Compassionate staff.

Even though its small, not modern like the big theaters, I love it. Great movies not showing most theaters, indies, documentaries, old, etc. Coffee shop. Saw The Man who invented Christmas today. People are very friendly. Support our community!

Nice, old, renovated theater. Good rest rooms. Food counter has some nice offerings, though the service is slow.

The second landmark of downtown Cary. A very good coffee pastry and wine/beer bar inside. Seating inside has stadium rows and auditorium rows. Shows movies as well as live music and dance. An intimate space.

So cute and affordable. A gem in downtown Cary.

Friendly, welcoming little hometown theater. Movies, stand-up comedy, concerts, etc. Compact and cozy venue; very comfortable. Concession offers a variety of goodies - not your standard movie theater fare. Nestled in Carys newly renovated downtown area with interesting little restaurants and great ice cream nearby. After the movie, buy some ice cream and stroll down Academy Street toward the Cary Arts Center. Hang out by the fountain and people-watch. Very pleasant, safe, and down-home.

Nice location, sound system and ambience

Great little theater. Cheap tickets. Helpful staff. Go early for better seats.

Warm welcome from the ticket office staff, great friendly service in the bar, a good selection of beers, wines and snacks, and the film was great. Altogether a fantastic evening. Will definitely return

I was inside for photography event. I didnt have the pleasure of seeing a movie there. The outside facade is beautiful.

I enjoyed the show very much. The seating was intimate without feeling crowded.

The Cary Theater is a fun local venue that hosts art house/indie and classic movies (they recently played The Godfather Trilogy), concerts, and performances. Brew coffee shop is connected, and you can bring snacks/beverages from Brew into the theater (no outside food or beverages though)The movie tickets are very reasonably priced ($7 after Ticketmaster fees), and they have a great variety of live acts from local singer songwriters like Jason Harrod and Asheville bluesman Jody Carroll to jazz groups and plays.If your back gets stiff easily, be forewarned that the seating is not the most comfortable.All in all a great Venue. Be sure to go upstairs and look at some of the old memorabilia from the original theater!

This theater always has something interesting going - a few times just dropped in to nice film festival, plays etc

Love companies that support small businesses. By showing less prominent films this theater is doing just that. thank you. will be back soon

There was a black out so they let us skip the previews

It was my family first time... attending and I must say I loved it the discussion was educational,so many different out looks and opinions no judgement great conversation

Nicely restored old movie theater with coffee & snack shop. Has an interesting mix of current, older, foreign, various theme movies, live concerts & comedy acts. A reasonable membership allows for discounted tickets. Cozy 1 screen venue.

This theatre always has older off the wall or classic movies. Classic in the context of bot necessarily popular but films that are great in their own right but may never have gained recognition or popularity. Selection is superb. This is a theatre owned by the town of Cary so while there is not plush seating the ticket and concession prices are very fair ($5/ticket).My wife and I usually go at least twice a month.

Great venue...a real gem.

Loved the Cary theater. Great show with The Nighthawks last night!

A real cultural gem in Carys ever expanding arts scene. Always something interesting playing. The best theater in the entire area including Raleigh and Durham. Im glad to be a supporting member!

Had a wonderful experience at the White Christmas Sing Along!!!!!!!

Beautiful restore. I appreciate they kept the old seats as a display.

Great small venue!!

Fun, indy movies; nice volunteer staff!

Great intimate venue for watching life performances in downtown carry near restaurants and pubs

Small place but great performance.

Very intimate venue with a surprisingly good sound system. Definitely will return.

Perfect for afternoon matinees. Ive seen two movies (Ernst Lubitschs The Shop Around the Corner and Free Solo, about Alex Honnolds 900 meter free climb up El Capitan). Both ran at 2:00 p.m. on weekday afternoons. The tickets are inexpensive; the staff was warm and helpful; the theater was not crowded; the audience was on the older side. A nice coffee shop adjoins the lobby.

You finally showed an Indy/Foreign film (A Man Called Ove)!!! First time I wanted to attend in 3 years. House was full. Hope you will show a lot more CURRENT Independent films. You have the perfect venue for it. Thank you!

Aspires to sophistication. A small theater showing minor films. Fine if they strike your fancy.

What a great space for entertainment! Intimate, easy to access, a huge community asset. So fortunate its still open and vibrant!

The coffee shop is crazy in the morning but a good place to go in the afternoon if youre looking for a quiet place to hop online

Great small older theater. Attached is a coffee shop and a bar. We watched a comedian. Fun time

Really liked the kind staff and the preservation of the original chairs as decorations.

This small theater is comfortable, and theres a coffee shop next door with access from the theater lobby.

Great place to see indie movies, also have musical performances

Nice venue, but I think the Town of Cary should install some more comfortable seats.

Great Johnny Cash show. Excellent seating and sound

Love this cinema! It shows great films and the coffee shop serves good food.

We always have a great time when we are able to attend. You have to stay alert to changing programs, or you will miss out.

Decent little theater in Cary. Shows a variety of movies. Concessions are provided by the coffee shop next door. I like that they are engaged with the community. Staff is friendly.

A great use of an old theater. Not a bed s was at in the house.

A very nice, clean place. We had an enjoyable day at a reasonable price.

Movie there Tuesday was great

Outstanding arts and entertainment facility, lovingly curated.

Quaint theater - great coffee at the Brew.

Great intimate theater. We will be going back.

Cozy place to hear music.

Great theatre offering great film experiences. Need fresh popped popcorn.

This is a hidden gem in downtown Cary. You MUST check it out for a movie, play or music. While parking can be challenging, it is worth it.

Best small theater around.

Great place for some indie films and more. Well run. Good screen and sound.

Wonderful space for live music.

Nice old tome theater with updated facilities.

Lovely intimate theatre theater with attached coffee shop.

First time visiting and Ill definitely return. Nice area to walk too.

The Cary theatre is working to bring interesting alternatives to Cary

Nice variety of events. Music, movies and such. Friendly staff as well

The is a great venue for small concerts. Nice seats and good acoustics. Clean restrooms and small bar area. They also show classic and INDIE movies.+GoogleLocalGuides +TriangleLocalGuides

Nice venue. Attended for a presentation. Video shook when anyone closed a door somewhere in the back of the theatre.

Eclectic, seats could be more comfortable, but it makes up for it in character.

Wide range of films and special events. Great post-film discussions.

Excellent location, great variety of drinks (coffee, tea, wine, beer, etc.), clean, organized, and very welcoming.

Great venue! Will definitely go back.

Comfortable theater

Love the concept but...No web site? Could not find a list of holiday films they are playing online? Searching for a film to go with the family brings up the multiplexes but not The Cary. Very disappointing.

Great special film viewings in a nice venue.

Wonderful first time! Perhaps a little wine to add to this experience would be exceptional.

Nice place to catch the unusual flick. Staff and volunteers are always really friendly.

Love this small venue for non-mainstream films.

Nice venue and staff. Been to several events. Very intimate.

New old fashioned theatre in downtown Cary - great venue! :)

Nice place showing great film art.
