So I watched Nosferatu the other day...Edit: and YES! I loved it!! And that theater is amazing. It feels like you are IN a movie just walking through the front doors. Ill definitely be checking out whats showing next time Im in town.

Yes, yes, hell yes. The only place in town that shows first rate independent films. I truly hope it survives the virus. I will definitely be back when you are.

A great classic movie going environment.After putting off going here for many years, I gave it a shot, and was very pleasantly surprised. The idea of a theater for independent film is a dying one, but this place is a true hidden gem. They take a market for independent film making and give it a venue, and they do it well. A few of their employees are very passionate about the art of the movies. I’d compare this place to a real life Majestic.Let’s get down to it. Their employees are nice and knowledgeable. They have really competitively priced concessions, including a unique full bar aspect. The sound and projector quality is really cutting edge. A surprisingly modern feel that also has a classic soul. I really only have one gripe with place is the seats are aged and very small once you sit in them you are ok but it can be a bit of a challenge.Overall I really loved the place and I plan on returning.

Kimballs is the best independent theatre in Colorado Springs. Rotating movie choices of high caliber. Be fair warned: the loyalty punch card can be confusing. It has you buy several movie tickets in advance and use the punch card to redeem them. They will try to sell you it and it can be a good deal if you go often. Just know what youre buying because they sell it as a way to save money, and it only saves money over the long term.

Kimball’s is the theater we deserve AND the theater we need right now. It’s the only place where I’ve seen the art house films that I want to see throughout the year. Kimball’s offers affordable prices, more competitive than big chains, in a setting nestled in the heart of downtown. It’s my favorite theater in the city.

Quaint and old-style theater with a wine/coffee/tea bar, close to everything downtown. There are two levels - it does have an elevator though - so if you are physically limited be aware of this and which movie is showing upstairs. The seats in the smaller theater are old and pretty cramped; dont expect any luxury in that regard! The larger theater has upgraded the seats some and its more comfortable now. If youre looking for a movie that isnt showing anywhere else, try the Kimball - art films, indies - and go for a unique experience.

This is a quaint, classic theatre house nested downtown Cospgs. I really enjoyed the intimate atmosphere. Its almost like youre watching a movie with a big group of friends, due to the small theatres. The only downside would be that if youre trying to read subtitles, you may have to watch the movie in an awkward position. There is no elevation in seating as you go back. Were all on the same level. 5 out of 5 though. :)

If you want to go back in time and enjoy a movie with a glass of wine with maybe up to 40 or so friends, you have to enjoy a movie here as it is a most enjoyable experience with the very best French zoning soup next door at La Baguette (close at 7)... I dare you to find place anywhere in the world, that compares!... tried them all. One time came close in Carlsbad, CA. All this downtown.... stay at The St Mary’s inn downtown... the best experience!

Me and my family went to see A Hidden Life a few weeks ago. When we went in we saw that there were no seats left that were together. We went downstairs to get some help to push people together (one guy was taking up a row of three and wouldnt move for us.) The cashiers working that night did not want to help us. They claimed that there were 17 seats left so there should be plenty left. We counted 8 empty seats, so either the cashiers were lying to us, or they had people sneak in. Either way they didnt want to walk upstairs to help us. They refunded our movies but not our popcorn. My family and I will never come back to this theater, and Kimballs desperately needs to hire an usher.

Review №16

I just left the theatre after waiting 45 minutes for the movie to start. There was some sort of glitch, and we were ultimately sent away with refunds or passes. The manager could not have been more apologetic or kind. He came out with frequent updates and thanked us for our patience. I will return tomorrow to try again. While I appreciate the pass, it doesnt compensate us for the disappointment, loss of time and parking fees. Perhaps those who present their passes could be offered a small popcorn or soda? Those items have a tremendous markup, and a significant amount of goodwill could be obtained for a very small cost for the theatre.

The theater may not have reclining seats or a dozen screens but it consistently shows some of the best new films without having to resort to superheroes, supervillains, or a whole arsenal of weapons. Oh and dont forget the nicely stocked bar.

This is a typical renovated theater in downtown Colorado Springs. It shows movies that the chain theaters dont! It has three theaters.Went to see Beautiful Boy which wasnt showing anywhere else.The theater for this movie was really small, only had about 50 seats.The seats are comfortable, and the popcorn tasty.Saw another movie previously in a theater which holds about 200.

My fiance and I love this place! They play a lot of the movies that the big corporate movie theaters do not play. We have seen multiple oscar nominee and oscar award winning films here like Green Book and The Shape of Water. They also show movies that have done well at film festivals. Its locally owned, so youre supporting local and small business, which is great! Students get a discount on Tuesdays. Of you go see a movie after 6pm, you dont have to look for free parking or pay for parking because the city doesnt charge on meters after that time. Great place!

Review №43

I used to love this place as Im in favor of supporting venues that are small and good for the community. However, Ive been disappointed the last two times Ive gone. The theater needs cleaning, from where I was sitting it looked like it hadnt been cleaned in a long while. The lobby and concession stands were a bit unkept. I like the movie selection and the fact that you can enjoy a yummy spirit while watching is a plus. Please dont let this place get a bad rep.

Review №48

Its an old school nieghborhood theatre. Not to long ago, the only place you could get a beer with a movie in the springs. They focus on independent films but get a main stream flick regularly also. Its one of those places youll love for nostalgic reasons. Seats are comfy enough and staff is polite. Bathrooms clean. I ️ it.

Review №52

I love the films that Kimballs screens. Especially during the Oscars time of year, when they screen some of the lesser known nominees and the shorts. But the staff turnover at the place seems super high (maybe its just the nature of the biz), and I cant say Ive always felt particularly well treated by management. Its too bad, because if Kimballs could pull its act together, I think it could be a community epicenter for the newly emerging scene in Colorado Springs – a scene thats markedly younger, more hip, and more willing to spend money at places like Kimballs.

Very cool place to watch a movie. Very nice seats. Have food delivered right to your seat during the movie. Screens are smaller than normal. Buy your seat ahead of time so you dont get stuck in the front row. And hey!

This place is great for indie films. Its an old-school theater with two screens, but the prices are comparable to modern theaters. Its still getting five stars despite the price because there arent many places that show indie films, and it is a really cool theater.

Watched Yellow Submarine a couple weekends ago at 9:55PM. This theater has no A/C apparently, it was unbearably hot! Also, went to the bar five minutes after the movie started and it was closed. I dont expect the world from this theater but do expect basics, otherwise you just have an old theater with uncomfortable seats for the same price as the high-end theaters in town.

Review №68

Fun little artsy theatre with alcohol.I love the way this place is laid out. It has three (I think) theatres spotted around whimsically, an intimate popcorn/ticket area, and another bar serving alcoholic drinks.Alcohol selection is acceptable, and the pricing falls within what youd expect for a theatre. The beer is only about a dollar or two more than other places, but the whiskey is maybe a hair more expensive than that, comparatively.Service is fine, chairs are OK, movie selection is a breath of fresh air.

Always love going to the movies at Kimballs! They have a great email need letter about whats coming. Sometimes there is a unfriendly desk worker, but love this joint. Bar tenders are always friendly. I think the bar closes at 8, so get a couple before and then chill out.

Kimballs is a quaint little movie theater in downtown Colorado Springs with a liquor license. They show only the more large-scale independent movies, which are fun to watch while sipping on a long island. Despite being a much smaller theater, and probably taking in less cash, the seats are comfortable and seem new enough, but the wow affect is somehow lacking, even if I cant quite put my finger on it.

Visited for the first time to see what Kimballs was all about. I set my expectations a little too high, unfortunately. The theater seats are in disrepair, some are broken and not very clean. The air conditioner in theater 2 does not work - it was about 80 degrees while we watched the movie.Im happy to say that the staff was very friendly and courteous.

Took my 3 and 6 year old to watch the Isle of Dogs and was very impressed with this theater. Online ticket purchase was quick and easy, concessions were delicious, staff was friendly, bathrooms were clean as well as the theater. My 3 year old started getting restless toward the end of the movie, so I took her to the back of the theater and we sat in one of the loveseat where she was able to lay down and finish the movie.

Review №93

Love this theatre, but it is disgusting. It is a local favorite and has been here since the 30s. Over the years it has gone through some changes. One change that most seem to enjoy is the ability to purchase alcohol to enjoy during your movie.The downside to the theatre being this old is that it is just this old. The seats arent comfortable; theyre very worn and very soiled. The theatre itself smells like has been soaking in urine and they are using incense to cover the smell. I visited just a couple weeks ago and almost got up to leave before the movie started because of the pungent odor of urine in the room -- in hindsight, I should have just left. Maybe serving alcohol isnt the greatest idea.

The perfect spot for independent (and independently minded) film lovers to catch that next Oscar nominated auteurs debut or just the latest from a favorite art house director. Bonus! They have a wine bar! Bonus bonus!! Youre supporting a longtime local, small business!!!
