This place is a gem! It has a nice atmosphere and always makes for an enjoyable evening.

Nice theater with all new movies and tickets are not very overly priced.Paid parking is available at the back of the theater.The screens are not very great but decent.Seats are not recliner and not very comfortable but ok.

Awesome. Always has best shows and documentaries friendly staff

Love the old school theaters not to many around anymore

If you want to see quirky weird movies. this is the place for you. do you want to throw spoons at Tommy wiseau? you can do that here sometimes. beer? yes please! I like the old thyme vibe the place has and always have fun here.

On Saturday October 10th, 2020 I arrived at Cedar Lee Theatre to see a Woody Allen film. Upon arrival I checked in at their self service computer as they do not currently have the ticket box staffed presumptively due to covid.After scanning my code and getting the ticket I proceeded into the theatre and as I headed to the restroom I noticed what looked like the manager, looking at me, which is fine as I am handsome :-)I depart the bath and down the hall toward the theaters, and as I was making my way to the theater down runs an employee who asks to check my ticket! No problem, I let her check my ticket and while she glared at it reading every single line on it (guess they thought Id go to the trouble of using an old ticket or picking a discarded one up off the ground outsde) I told her she could put her handcuffs away and not arrest me. Oy vey.So I decide to go back up to stand next to the lobby entrance and wouldnt you know it, I saw many other patrons come directly in and NOT be asked to produce their tickets! Seems to me that if they want to selectively enforce a random ticket screening process they might want to mix in some other demographics other than 63 245 pound Black men!!Yes, there are some Black men who are also cinephiles who actually pay for movie tickets in order to support theatres such as your own!In these times, youd think a place like Cedar Lee Theatre would be kind of above this level of pettiness.Suggestion: If you want to be certain that certain people entering the theatre have paid for a ticket, howabout staffing the entrance with someone who FAIRLY screens ALL incoming patrons???Do better.

This location is one of the oldest and I think historic movie theaters in the area. I understand the need to preserve such a location. I think someone needs to do a better assessment of the condition of the inside itself. I think that it needs to be refreshed. Maybe they close it for a little while clean it really well and do some restoration? In spite of that if you havent seen or been to a theater that was a part of the golden era then you should check it out.

Best place in town to see Indy along with popular films. Grab a beer or wine and fresh popped popcorn and enjoy the shows! Just enjoyed the new Little Women movie that was excellent. Purchased tickets ahead of time online. Nice rewards program too.

The best theatre around! Always showing excellent classic and indie films. Quite spacious with many theaters. Small selection of snacks and drinks. Clean and never crowded, always friendly staff. Love coming here for a matinee but also a great date night.

Great theater. The sound is not too loud. The movie (Emma) was great. The coming movies and events all seemed like things Id like to do and see.

Popcorn dry. Loved Faustina movie.

This is not your plush lounge chair theater. Its classic...squeaky seats and all. So worth a visit. They choose movies at the fringe of society, but feels like such a suitable venue for it. Love this place!

Friendly staff. Great prices. Cozy and vintage. The seating can get really high in the theaters. The prices for concession are arguably competitive! The staff were absolutely accommodating, courteous, professional, & efficient. The interior was pleasantly immaculate, and smelling lively of popcorn. The sound was wonderfully synchronized and at just the right enjoyable decibel level.Asked they have Rocky Horror!

I love this place and the area. One of my favorite things to do is visit small unique theatres and this place fits the bill. Great location area with unique and tasteful dining options all around. Enjoy a nice dinner and then stop here afterwards for an interesting film.

Awesome theater, showing a great variety of movies at very fair pricing. We go there all the time. I took one star away because the seats are jammed in VERY close to the seat in front of you. Parking is not difficult, but is expensive (the pay-by-phone app works and knocks $$$ off the cost, but takes time), and dont even tempt the Cleveland Heights parking enforcers, Just dont. But parking issues are not the theaters fault. Everyone knows the staff here is great, so that goes without saying.

Ive lived in the Cleveland area my whole life and hadnt been to Cedar Lee before tonight. Obviously fewer trimmings than the bigger venues like Cinemark, but a very enjoyable experience- Great people and fantastic movies. Will definitely go again.

This is a great venue for worldwide releases as well as independent films. Great concession stand with just about all of your favorites and then some including beer. The audio and visual quality is superb. The only negative about Cedar Lee Theater is the parking situation being in the rear with a slight walk and pay parking meters(quarters only) or the pay parking structure. This is an older theater so with that in mind seating is very outdated. Most of us are soo used to the oversized, comfy, reclining seats in which this theater does NOT have. The average size person may not have a problem, as for above average size person may find them a bit uncomfortable.

Nice place to view movie,s!

I love coming here for special releases. Great selection of movies and interesting events.I recommend going to the monthly showong of The Room.

I enjoyed watching movies here immensely. They sheats have a good selection of non new releases paying, like the Rocky Horror Picture Show, the Room and others. The staff are awesome. My only complaint that drives me insane is they have the worst seating ever. If youre a modestly tall guy such as myself, you dont fit in any of the seats at all. My legs cramp up unless I sit in an isle seat, and nobody wants those!

Seeing parasite today and the theater (4) screen is barely larger than my television. I’m stunned that they charge money for this experience, and would Leave if I I wasn’t with others. Definitely not the “theatrical” experience a fine film deserves.

Great theater for indy film buffs and movie goers alike. If youre looking for a interesting and random night if films this is the place for you. The staff is friendly and available to answer any questions you may have. The demographic is also diverse. Popcorn is the standard price like every where else. And On Mondays its only $5!

Super cute and quaint theater. Just saw Alien for its 40th anniversary (what a hoot) and it was what you would expect from a historical theater. Its very clean and quite nice. The seats in the theaters could use an update, but doesnt change my opinion about the theater itself. Restrooms were clean too!

We just saw Pain Na Glory by Pedro Almodovar. It was fantastic. Love the theatre too. Staff is always nice and it is always a comfortable temperature.

Fun place. Feels like the neighborhood, family owned theaters of the past. It is a regular movie spot for me.

I cant say enough about this theater. The Cedar Lee is a GREAT place to see your next movie. Very clean & their Staff is wonderful.

Wonderful movies. I am going for years. Educated people attend their movies. I lost my wallet under my seat but no one took it. I got it back

Went to a Rocky Horror show there, first time at the theater. Very nice theater! The food, as in most theaters, is pricey but overall the experience was great

Ceder Lee Theater has several small and large screening rooms. Both sizes are enjoyable. We have visited twice and both times the theater was clean and ticket prices were affordable. We will definitely be coming back again.

The vibe is so 1970s I LOVE it. They always show interesting movies here, its really unique. On Monday nights, tickets are only five dollars which is fun. They have popcorn, snacks, candy, and alcohol.

An eclectic mix of foreign films and off beat American films. Has an old world feel and a friendly staff.

Great seating arrangement. Large, comfortable chairs. Clean floors.

I finally got to visit this theater and enjoyed it.

Great choice of movies, nice staff, good choice of munchies, clean theaters, comfortable seating in 2 main screens....lots to do in the Cedar-Lee area

Always a great place to see a film. It is the Anti-Multiplex. A wonderful neighborhood theater!

One of the only Theatre to show The Banker. Thank you!

Would have given 5 stars if i had more leg room in the stadium seating. With a bad knee i couldnt stretch out properly.

I had the best night ever at the Cedar Lee!

Lots of really good movies and events, never had a bad experience there

Great theater for the more indie showings. People are super friendly and interested in movies and theres a lot of nice restaurants in walking distance.

Good option for $5 Mondays & matinee pricing (includes some snack bar specials) on 2nd-run movies you missed originally.Some of their small theaters are pretty small.

Ive only been to this theater twice as I dont live that close. But each time I loved it. Its a smaller theater with a lot of great personality. I went to see two select showings of documentaries. While the theater isnt the closest, it was great that they were able to show these documentaries within driving distance to me and at great prices.

This place is awesome, classic and welcoming. Great Selection of films and nice people!

Such a throwback. Doesnt have all modern amenities but more yhan makes up for it in charm and services.

I love Mondays at Cedar Lee theatre! Movie tickets are only $5 all day and all night!!

Had such a great time at the Cedar Lee Theater for my first Rocky Horror Picture Show! Clean theater and friendly cast and employees all the way around!

Love this Theater...Great fun area of Cleve Hgts,love going there. Had a great time last Evening.

$5 MONDAYS ARE THE BEST AND THEY SELL BEER!

Very cozy and clean. I enjoyed that I could have a cocktail with my movie. Reminded me a bit of the way movie houses are in Europe versus the usual mass market American experience. Plus, I saw a movie that was both new and hard to find at other theatres. The prices were fair and less expensive than other places in the State.

Very large screen very clean inside Pleasant attendee checking you in for the movie

I love this place. My husband and I shared our first date here. Great memories. Establishments such as this adds to the nostalgia of the neighborhood

This is among the best places in the region for films that dont appear in most theaters.

A great place to enjoy cinema the old fashioned way

I honestly love this theater. The staff is friendly, its never crowded, and the movie selection is great. Good prices as well!

For indy and artsy films this place cant be beat. Its not like your traditional movie theatre and thats a breath of fresh air, there are movies you wont see in traditional theatres and the staff here is cool, and the prices are cheaper than any big box theatre. When I get a chance Ill come back and watch an indy flick again.

Awesome friendly patient staff both at ticketing and concessions. They serve alcohol which can be nice. The chairs are a bit smaller than most theatres these days, but they always have the best movies you cant find everywhere. They also have $1 kids movies at 10 am on certain days, movies that are in DVD now like Sing and Despicable Me 3. Also good specials for Mondays. Highly recommend!

They always offer great movies with a very warm staff

The best movie theater in town along with The Capitol on the west side. Independent, art house, thought-provoking and inspiring films throughout the day on many screens of different sizes. Always check for the rotating selection of offerings. Menu includes hot food, beer, wine, and cocktails. A+

Very nice venue. Awesome staff? They were so pleasant and welcoming

Very warm inviting place. Movie and atmosphere fantastic.

Nostalgic, I can go here and enjoy old and new movies.

A former large house, now broken into smaller steeply raked theaters, this is a great venue to see both first run and more artsy movies. In house bar makes for a civilized movie experience!

First time here. Came for the Breaking Bad movie. The special themed drinks were a fun little feature. My Pinkman was ok. The El Camino was a big disappointment though.

It was clean and orderly. The popcorn was warm and fresh.

Went here for the Saturday showing of Rocky horror picture show and had a great time! The live cast was fantastic. Its an old theater but it has updated seating, will definitely be going back again.

Lot of great films that didnt show at the local multiplex. Mature crowd.

When living in The Heights, you must choose the Cedar Lee the next time you have the urge to see a movie. While offering what could be described asarthouse titles, you may be interested in going to the more mainline theaters for first-run shows. With that said, dont completely pass up the Ceder Lee; The neighborhood vibe alone us worth the price of admission. Also, alcohol purchases are offered for patrons. Look for their special family shows that run at family-friendly times. See you at the movies!

Great old school theater with awesome movies that the bigger chains dont play

Great old school theater. They have a full bar and great bartenders.

The employees are super friendly and they will gladly answer any questions you have. Extra butter on your popcorn? No problem. Need more ice? No problem. I love going here because the experience is so satisfying on a customer service front. I do wish they had more options, but what the do get is quite interesting. Parking is a pain, but if you can walk a block or so, they have a free lot.

They play amazing unique films from all over the world. I have traveled all around the states and I have never come across a theater quite as special as this one.

Comfortable seats, decent sized screen. Pleasantly surprised. A great combination of old and new. The best qualities of each.

A bit pricey but a nice cozy atmosphere

Classic theater with old school feel. Please support this theater and keep it around.

A traditional neighborhood theater that sets off a good shopping area.

Lovely little theater that plays smaller releases and foreign films, excellent customer service, and just a great environment to talk about film.

Favorite neighborhood movie theater. All current movies. Comfortable seating. Several theaters within one location. Friendly & polite staff. What better movie theater for an evenings entertainment!!

Fantastic theatre to see alternative & independent films.

Love this place but they could dust some in the lobby .

Do not buy the beer...most of the concessions are severely overpriced

Good location and a different selection of movies to see. The alcoholic beverage option is also a nice touch

Excellent customer service and excellent movies.

Unique experience love this place and neighborhood

Love the variety of movies shown here.

Great theater!!! It is truly a fun place for a great evening out.

Great selection of snacks and beverages. Super friendly staff!!!!

Great experience. Easy access, friendly staff. Good popcorn. No frills. Comfortable seats.

Always a great experience! Still has a certain cache that feels warm and convivial. It still has the artiness it always did without the seediness of some venues.

This is one of the most amazing theaters I have ever been in! Its very old school, has a lot of good movies, and a lot of special events that make it very valuable to the community. I hope this theater stays strong for many more years to come!

I just watched an amazing movie, Free Solo, which is an intense, beautifully documented cinematic work of art that I drove up from Cuyahoga Falls to see because local movie houses arent showing it. The whole viewing experience was excellent! The Cedar Lee Theater is a treasure!

Very cool . Nice vibe

Great smaller, independent theater.

Friendly staff, no problems. Will visit again

I go here almost every week to watch a movie or two, or sometimes three. Their rewards program is free and gets you $5 movies two nights a week. Not only are they one of the only theatres that show arthouse films, but the staff is really friendly. They all recognize me and talk to me to ask what Im watching, or what I thought of the movies Ive seen. They also put out a podcast every week and I listen to every episode! The concessions can be a tad expensive, but I dont usually buy any (but they do have great vegan baked goods, and Im not even vegan), and the bathroom is a pretty tight fit

My absolute favorite place to see a movie!

This is the go to place for independent films in Cleveland. Six screens in various sized theaters. Always the best of new films. Beer, wine and drinks available. Seats are not always the most comfortable. Easy parking in lot behind the theater. Numerous restaurant choices in the area. Monday is $5 film day.

We heard music from the next theatre occasionally. It was distracting. But other than that, a good experience. Im happy to support local businesses so Cedar Lee is always my first choice for movies.

Ive seen late showings of The Room and The Rocky Horror Picture Show here. I can say that each time has been a blast. The staff is great. Also, the theatre shows lesser known independent films on a regular basis. I would highly recommend. 10/10 would visit again.

How dare you shoosh me I didnt say a thing 10/10 will hear shoosh again.

I went for their interactive Rocky Horror Picture Show and it was BEYOND phenomenal. Definitely a must do, and I will for sure be doing again and again and again!
