The DMT is one of Eugenes special hidden gems. This aint no big box mall theater - it is a unique experience with good food and beer delivered to your seat! I couldnt believe it when I ordered popcorn and was told theyd bring it to me once they popped a fresh batch!

An incredible recommendation for the Eugene folk: The David Minor theater!What a fantastic gem we have here. If you are ever up for an easy date night or looking for a nostalgic throw-back environment to watch a great movie, this is the place you want to seek out.Friday after work was the Annual Big Lebowski Party and I FINALLY made it this year. So much fun and such a hilarious crowd looking to have a few good laughs and of course a Caucasian, also know as a White Russian. Truly so much fun was had though. GREAT PLACE, GREAT OWNERS. Try it out Eugene! I know well be back and SOON!

I have been to several movies here and it is a nice movie atmosphere. Feels like you are in your rich friends movie room or something. Couches in front row if you get there early enough to snag one. Beer/cider on tap as well as other food items you can eat while watching. Dont want to get up mid-movie? Just text and they will bring it to you. This theater is very Eugene worthy in my book.

Comfortable setting and close to great restaurants. Locally owned. They have wine, beer, la Croix, and food available for purchase.

Saw a show in theater 1 and couldnt hear half the movie. Loud fan in the rear left, and the volume turned down so low I had to cup my hands behind my ears to hear. Linoleum floors made everyones wet shoes squeaky, and the walls make the sound echo. Install sound muffling curtains and carpet, or turn up the volume, or for goodness sakes dont sell popcorn in crackly brown paper bags! Use buckets, they are quieter!

I love this place. Honestly the best popcorn of the three independent theaters in Eugene. Convenient location with plenty of parking (again best parking of the three independent theaters). I know this is odd thing to call out but I super appreciate that they have nutritional yeast available for their popcorn. The food they offer is again by far the best of the three theaters and is delivered from the place across the street. Some of the best vegetarian nachos Ive ever had and Im not even a vegetarian.i will be frequenting this theater often.

A cute little movie venue. Been around for a few years, but was my first time there tonight! Came into the movie a few minutes late, but it was nice that the film my man, his sister, and I watched didnt have a full room. There was plenty of open seats!

I enjoy the intimate small screen movie experience. Definitely a fun alternative to the mega mall movie theaters.

All the comforts of home. Feet up on a foot stool, popcorn (we’d eaten before we came to the theatre) beer. Looking forward to a meal next time we go. Great prices, very friendly service!!!

So Eugene! Near 5th Street Public Market and Hotel. Parking sucks and construction makes it worse, however, if you circle near times movies have ended, you might luck out. Minimal decor, more like someones basement setup, with couple of overstuffed chairs & couch in front. Black walls give Goth look, but the drinks and food menu are more hippie-healthly, mixed in with regular candies and good popcorn. Food was reasonably priced-much lower than corporate theaters. Comfy experience, sound not too loud, quality offerings. I love it here.

Best movie theatre in Eugene. Only great films and the comfiest environment for viewing you could imagine. It beats my living room! Plus their food delivery system and drink selections are luxurious.

Cozy and fun!Would much rather come here than a big theater. Smaller rooms with overstuffed furniture where you can watch a movie, get a beer, and have food delivered... Sweet!

We went here after finding a great Groupon deal for two tickets and a large popcorn. They even had nutritional yeast for the popcorn. The cozy atmosphere was perfect to curl up and watch a movie. A phone number provided a way to order during the movie so you didnt have to leave. With the small theater rooms I would recommend getting there early to grab a couch. My new favorite place to watch a movie.

Cute little movie theater with nice little home type of setup inside. Was not happy with the food order, the food took the whole movie to get to us. We had ordered before the movie had preview started. Would definitely go back for a double date. Will not be ordering food from the movie theater again!

My husband and I received a wonderful gift groupon for David Minor Theater. We had the best time. What an awesome place where you can Kick it as if you were in your living room, the sound quality was amazing and the staff is extremely friendly and great. It was wonderful to discover this friendly gathering place for entertainment. You can have food delivered and there are plenty of different beverages available. I have one of my favorite little places here in Eugene....

The food was not worth the price. The venue seemed clean except when we sat down... old crumbs and debris in the seats. Cold air was blowing into theater the whole time. Not a comfortable experience. Staff was great though. High marks for them.

Review №41

Movie (Wont You Be My Neighbor? Was great. Being a child in that era, really opened my eyes to what He was teaching us. Far beyond what we were consciously grasping as children.Hard time understanding the use of cup sizes for alcoholic beverages. Got a 20oz beer, they opened 2 - 12oz cans leaving them with 4oz of waste. Even if someone else wanted, say a 20oz beer they would need to open 2 more cans to accomplish this. Seems like 12oz & 24oz Cups would solve this problem.

Just a wonderful, small place to see a movie. The seats are just right and they deliver your food. Honestly, the food delivery can be pretty annoying if youre at a good part of the movie but its very convenient.

Very cozy. Nice that you can order food during the movie. Seems like they choose which screen to use for each movie at the last minute, which is a little disorienting.

This and Broadway Metro are both a great way to escape the world and immerse yourself in a movie that probably wont have too many explosions in it.

This place portrays what Eugene is all about. The service is greatThe couches almost give you the feel of sitting in your own living room.Plus, not only can you order adult beverages, but you can text them and theyll deliver it to you; no worrying about missing your favorite part.

Review №52

Its going to be a new experience for a movie theater. Dont expect like the bijou movie theaters or reclining chairs. This is straight up hodge podge of random furniture from modern, sleek leather chairs to my great aunt Sandras sunken flower couch. Some rooms seem more standard chairs but when you walk in you never know what youre going to get. Its fun and clean and you can even order food. Old movies here are the best!

Review №53

Plays movies that might not pull a huge crowd, sometimes art-house / independent, sometimes just movies that are just out of the big theaters. Comfortable seating, with food and drink available from neighboring restaurants. Fair price.

Review №54

Really enjoy seeing movies here - generally opt for things not too visually stunning since theyre using some older tech, but its a cozy little place with no bad seats. Love the beer/food delivery as well.

Review №55

It was ok. Popcorn was stale and tasted old. The guy said he would bring us a new one but it was far from new. The theater smelled like pee and there was drunk people everywhere. This place is more like a old run down bar than it is a theater. The screen was super small, my TV at home is bigger. Not worth the cost. It sucks too because I kinda wanted to like the place.

Review №76

Love the small, casual feel. But the owner is also a dealer of high-end audiophile-grade equipment and they really set this place up. It doesnt sound small and casual. Some people think its annoying to have the employees coming in to deliver food and drink orders (you can order by text message), but on the other hand, they deliver your food/drink orders! You just have to go in with the right attitude. The one thing that would make this place better, is a better place to hang out when not going to a movie.

Coaches and good sound beer and wine its best to get there early if you want to catch a drink before the show although its also available inside along with lots of different menu items from a few restaurants around the neighborhood its delivered while youre watching a movie as well as you can text for beer and wine and theyll bring it in while youre watching the show cool place check it out

Review №95

KThey have an interesting selection of movies, have kombucha on tap, and cater some really delicious food from 2 local businesses. You can also purchase beer and popcorn with optional nutritional yeast, or candy and soda pop, if thats your movie preference, and they bring your order to your seat in the theater when it is ready so you can enjoy the show. If youre in the middle of a movie and you find the bottom of your brew, you can text for a refill. Now thats service! Other than a little bit of spilled popcorn, the theater has always been pretty clean, too. The staff has always been very pleasant and helpful. We brought in a blanket last time because the theaters can get a little chilly when the air is on and no one said anything about it, which I really appreciated. Tuesdays and Sundays are discounted days which is perfect for date night on a budget! Highly recommended!
