Very Clean, Staff friendly. For and old theatre, unexpected surprise seats where comfortable, just kind of small though. Prices where really good for the tickets and food. Now the bad, had to wait outside for theatre to open. Opens 15 min prior to first show. Only parking around is meter, and you only get 3 hrs. Do the math, you run out of time before movie is over. Doors between each of the theaters are very thin, you can hear the movie next to you. Also, once the movie ends, none of the house lights come on, so if you dropped something, as several elders did, they had to wait or try to use their cell phones to find their scarfs etc.

An amazing small theatre experience. The location is absolutely perfect downtown and right next to gelato when the movie is over.

The worker at the ticket booth (whom struck me as the owner because he genuinely seemed to care about the whole operation) did not try to sell me goodies at the food counter when I mentioned that I was hungry. He genuinely was fine with me going out and getting something down the street! What an amazing show of love for humanity and that the dollar is not the most important thing to him. So I bought a large drink and popcorn and even candy to show him that I cared about his love for my needs.The movie ticket was only $10! I haven’t paid that low of a ticket price in quite awhile. The theater was the only one in the area showing the movie on the opening night, but it wasn’t full. I was sad to see that. Drink refill or popcorn are only $1! The sound in the theater was great. Afterward, the same gentleman offered me a ride when I was seemingly stranded because there were no uber in the area. Amazing service! I will definitely return because I feel like I’m valued as a human. Five stars is not enough for this gem.

Nice little theatre to catch a movie in Hanover.

I choose this theater over Lebanon whenever possible. Clean theater, friendly fast staff.One thing I really love is that they use real butter on the popcorn. Once or twice I have popped in to just buy popcorn, thats how much we enjoy it.

Great for catching first-run films that have more limited distribution and some more mainstream fare as well.

In the Lebanon-Hanover area theres a really limited choice for theatres, and this one is, for sure, the better one.But then, I just found it much cleaner.The theatre hall isnt too large, and the overall movie experience was average.Seats are adequately comfortable.The popcorn wasnt fresh. So Id just contemplate over spending on it.Customer service was great

Almost no a/c on a hot day, didnt open the theaters until five minutes before the movie started, and the manager was yelling at everyone, as if it was OUR fault they hadnt opened the theater or given us any place to be.I used to think the nugget was quaint. Now... Ill go elsewhere.

Love the small 4 theater experience. Usually has the more Oscar bait and art house type films, but has the main Blockbusters too. Good seating as well.

I love going to this theater. Its always clean, the screen is nice, and its in such a great location. I was disappointed last time that the popcorn tasted gross and stale.

This theater has been around for quite awhile and has made some improvements over the years. Its seats are comfortable. The staff is really friendly. Its a good location. Not too long a drive from most of the Upper Valley. Walking distance from the college. There is parking out behind the theater as well as in front. Good selection at the concession stand.

Review №16

It does its job since it is pretty much the only place you can watch the movie. Screen is old or should I say there is no screen. Its pretty much just a big projector.

Always interesting offerings for films. Price decent..commercial theatre down in Lebanon is >$10 a film. So, dont complain about price. Selections at concession average (they do have Snickers). Wish there was good coffee. Have always found it clean..no complaints .

Its not the biggest, fanciest theater anywhere, but its comfortable and shows the movies you want to see, so whats not to like? It can get fairly packed when waiting for really popular films and there is no reserved seating, so youll want to arrive early for the latest blockbuster. You still need to go to the counter if youve bought your tickets online. Again, its not the most modern place, but its clean and the staff is friendly, so thats what matters most.

Wonderful little theatre. Concessions are so much less expensive than other theatres in the area and I love that its locally owned and operated. Well worth the drive.

This is a great theater. The screens are on the smaller side but the sound system is top notch. I come on the week nights and its always nearly empty - which is awesome. The only downside is that they dont always get the new releases.

Simply put, go to the Nugget have a great time, go to Entertainment Cinemas in Lebanon, be disappointed, and concerned for your health. Nugget Theaters is a small, quality establishment surrounded by great (but expensive) places to eat and shop. I always opt to go here for my movies, unfortunately they dont always get the big name blockbusters, but I have always been pleasantly surprised by the lesser publicised showings I have seen their. Dont get me wrong, they have big movies all the time, you just might lose a few to EC down the road. The staff is nice, and they keep the place clean. The snacks are typical for a theatre, and the sound systems, and seats are nice as you would expect for a quality place.

I have always loved this theater, its probably my favorite theater of all time. It almost always shows films that I am eager to see. Popcorn is great and it is a fantastic environment for everybody. Staff is always friendly and I Iove the old fashion vibe its rocking. Most definitely recommend for anyone.

Such a clean theater and comfortable seats to enjoy watching a movie in. The popcorn is really great and fresh tasting every time I get some. The movie selection is pretty good too just wish the nugget was a little bigger so they could show more movies at once.

This theater is the perfect size with great seats and nice big screens. The popcorn is amazing. They either have three or four movies playing, which is the perfect amount. There is always a movie that somebody will enjoy and all the movies are new.

I have been waiting for Ready Player One to come out for a couple of years but when it came out, I was very sick and unable to see it. Today one of my students told me it would be leaving theaters on Thursday. I really wanted to see it on the big screen and went tonight by myself. When I got there I had unknowingly went into the wrong theater. I was alone and playing on my phone waiting for it to start. Once the movie started is when I realized my mistake. I went into the hall and the girl who sold me the ticket was there. I told her I went into the wrong theater and asked her to show me where my theater was. I looked at my phone and said “oh no, I can’t believe I missed the first 20 minutes” I was mad at myself but willing to suck up my mistake. I was the only one in the theater and after being there for a minute, the movie restarted. The manager came in to let me know that they restarted the movie for me and told me to enjoy the show. When I left I wanted to thank them but the staff was all gone and everything was closed and dark. I wasn’t disappointed in the movie I waited so long to see, but I was more impressed by the theater staff. Thank you.

I go to this theater often with family. It always has a nice selection of films and the staff is always very friendly. Theres nothing that really sticks out about it, either good or bad. Its a nice comfortable place to go. The only thing that is unfortunate is the fact that its sometimes very difficult to find parking in that location of Hanover.

Great community theatre. Wide range of movies, not just the multiplex stuff. Fresh popped popcorn is great.

Review №51

A quaint small town movie theater that keeps up with the big ones: excellent sound and shows 3D films. The facilities are kept clean and food selection standard. The only caveat would be the limitation in movie selection though they tend to have some really good films.

Great resource in a small town. Theaters are small but they are clean, recently renovated, state of the art technology. Great downtown location with plenty of restaurants and ice cream nearby for before or after, perfect combination for a fun night out on the town.

Very clean theater! Im pleasantly surprised every time I go by how well kept the location is. Historically The Nugget didnt show many AAA movies, instead favoring more artistic films... more recently theyve been picking up more mainstream content, which I appreciate!

AFAIR, this is one of the oldest cinemas in the entire country. Bill Bryson, the famous author of A Brief History of Nearly Everything, wrote about it in his book (not that book, the other one. Called Im a Stranger Here Myself)Its adorable and cute. I wish Id come here to watch movies more often but alas, you only know how great things are once youre a thousand miles away from them.For such a tiny building - they do have a large number of screens, and for so many screens screening different movies, the halls are rarely filled to the brim. You can get good seats quite easily, and ticket prices seem to be lower than normal too.Also, if youre a resident of Hanover - you dont actually have too much choice in where you can go to watch a film either, do you?But for what its worth - Nugget has this adorable, little charm which Ive yet to find in other cinemas in bigger cities.

Review №58

Everything you need a theatre to be. Lots of screening times and a decent number of screens. Parking is usually really awkward though, so allow 20 minutes before the movie to cruise around Hanover looking for a spot

Just another movie theatre...nothing special. Overpriced as usual and yet they still charge a dollar for popcorn refills. Air conditioning gives a nice break from the humid weather though.

Clean, contemporary, well-maintained, locally & non-profit owned/operated 4-screen theater consistently showing best major and selected art-house films. 25 restaurants within 2 blocks. Cant be beat by anything between Burlington and Concord.

Its not the biggest of theaters, but its nice for what it is. There are only a few movies showing here at a time, so a lot of students prefer to go to one of the larger theaters outside of Hanover. That said, its very conveniently located, and students do get a discount on their ticket.

I dont know what it is about upper valley theaters, but this one is now worse than the Lebanon Six. Upon several arrivals, I have always been greeted by rude, snarky, punks who are more interested in the angle their elbows lean on the counter, than the patrons entering their buisness. And if theyre not helping you, then it is the rudest manager I have ever met at a theater. The only reason my friends and I go here occasionally, is that they get a decent selection of independent films. But no longer will they receive our patronage, after the last time we went there. The theater was fifty degrees and they refused to turn the heat up; the bathroom was filthy with urine coating the walls, and the picture quality of the film was not cared for. Not to mention, the overpriced tickets! These are prices I would expect in the city, but I guess when you have rich college kids, you dont have to cater to everyday folk. Dirty theaters, rude employees, and poor presentation far outweigh good films, which they do play on the occasion. Take the time, and wait for it to come to the HOP in Dartmouth, or take the drive down to the theater in Springfield VT, both places that are cared for much more than here.
