This theater is a gem. My wife and I have had so many wonderful experiences here, from fundraisers to new movies to private parties and screenings. Even though this is an historic theater, they keep up with new technology and are one of the few theaters in Portland to offer 70mm movies!Help keep Hollywood Theater alive during Covid and support them any way you can!

This place is beautiful and truly a unique experience.

Historic, gorgeous venue with a great connection to the community. Snacks, drinks, and food offerings are fairly priced and wide.Seats are older and not quite as comfortable as some modern offerings - so bring a lumbar pillow.Many classic movies to relive on a gorgeous screen in a classic format.

Loved this place so much we became members. Now we get advance notice on special events like special screenings and guests - which helps because Portland is a city full of super fans of just about every genre and niche interest, so this stuff sells out quickly. If you are when a little interested, go for it.For the rest of yall, this is still a place worth checking out. Its a beautifully restored movie palace with one large downstairs theater and two smaller upstairs theaters. They show first run, special interest, super obscure, and lovingly preserved movies. There are often special events with Q&A opportunities with the makers.There are definite quirks that come with an older building (I think only the downstairs theater is fully ADA compliant, and the upstairs bathrooms have fiddly plumbing), but it mostly adds to the charm of the place.And seriously, the programming cant be beat.

Yes, full 5 stars. In my estimation, this is one of the most iconic buildings in the whole of Portland. So many of the old theaters that we all like to visit, are somewhat janky, but charming. Hollywood Theater has been kept up and maintained to a large degree. The pizza is by Sizzle Pie, and the snacks are reasonably priced, and the concession stand has plentiful options regarding beer and cider and wine. Big, beautiful, modern screens and sound system. Please support this locally owned non-profit, or even become a member.

Saw a screening of the original Texas Chainsaw Massacre here tonight on the second floor theater to the left. Excellent sound quality! Probably the best version of the film Ive ever seen; it was incredibly loud, visceral, and intense as hell. Truly a great experience! The sloping pattern of the seat placement makes sure that no one is ever in front of you blocking the screen. The screen is huge and the seats recline back at just the right angle. Comfortable seats and small tables in front for your food and drinks. Get there early for good seating. Been here many, many times. I love the Hollywood Theater. ;)

I had an amazing time at this theater. Its amazing on the inside and out. The owners took great care to retro fit this place and it feels great. The movies they play are just as awesome and you can find some of the greatest on 70mm. If you want a great night in a great place, then you should definitely check then out and their schedule of movies.

Beautiful Portland landmark. If you ever get the chance to, come watch a movie here. They do a great job of curating excellent films and bringing events to the area. The chairs are a little lack luster, but it’s such a beautiful theater with great movies so it’s totally okay!

Wonderful restored historical theater, a bit worn in spots but lovely nonetheless. I attended the H.P. Lovecraft Film Festival here. If I lived in Portland, this would become a regular visiting place for me. The concession stand offers a wide array of fare, including really good pizza from Sizzle Pie. Bonus: the concession prices were reasonable!

I absolutely love this theater. It has a great mix of first run, art, and event screenings (including 70mm showings). Admission is shockingly cheap even more so with a membership. Food is also cheap with my usual tab for popcorn, drink and maybe candy being less than a popcorn at a major theater. There is a whole lot to love here.

This theater is of a long-gone style called a film palace apparently and it feels of that mostly in good ways though the steep ramps to the upper galleries may give unwelcome insight into the state of ones cardio.A fine place; I have no real reservations.And they vend beer.

This beautiful cinema theater is being lovingly restored to its former glamour. Good screens, sound systems and seating. Many rows have a table for food & drinks, which is nice, but there is also a corresponding level of occasional minor distraction.

I love this place. My wife took me here to see _The Princess Bride_ on our anniversary. I had never seen it on the big screen. They also bring many foreign films and festivals to Portland. Top notch!

This place is a piece of Portland history. One of my favorite places to see movies in town. You go here and as you walk in and see the lights you feel special. Love this place.

If this place ever closed, Id just leave Portland. Thats it, the final straw. Forget it.But yeah, Hollywood is fantastic. Still show 70mm films. Best experience was several years ago seeing Wild at Heart on Valentines Day- option to purchase a bottle of champagne with a locket that had Nic Cages face in it. The best.

Good pizza and always great Cinema!!! Not just a movie. But art in motion! Every viewing of anything is pure joy.

Been going here for years, both for school field trips and independently, awesome staff & awesome seats.I came back from college recently and saw Godzilla here and enjoyed some cheap Cider! 4$

Wow! Been going to this theater since I was a child and it has not changed a whole lot which is very comforting and familiar. Always have good memories of this theater. When we moved back to Portland I went with my kids to see a movie here and it was just like I remembered only now.....they serve beer! Its Great! Recommend this theater to anyone who hasnt been there and I commend the staff as they are all volunteering their time to keep this little theater hoppin!

What a great venue. Just watched the premier of The Irishman. Great movie. Even better theater. Great food and beer with stupid low prices. Have lived in the Portland Metro area for over twenty five years and cant believe I didnt find this place sooner.

Breathtaking and heartstealing. Excellent movie experience ever!

A must visit. Great place for a date or any film buff. Or both.

Oh I was in love with this theatre, its so classic, really damn cheap too. Beer is 4 bucks! They have several products like beverages, popcorn, ice cream, snacks, etc. The theatre is so old school and seats are comfortable.

The Hollywood is a Portland treasure. They show the best, if not necessarily the biggest films, as well as a plethora of classic and cult movies. It is a nonprofit that also runs Portlands best video/DVD rental store Movie Madness.

This is a great theater that consistently shows interesting stuff and puts on a ton of community involved events.I seen so many good things here, but probably the best was a screening of a Sailor Moon OVA that never came to America.

If you’re visiting the area, I recommend go here. Beautiful architecture

Hollywood Theater is the go to theater for cult classics shown in 70mm, indie films and film festivals. You can get beer and pizza as well as your usual popcorn and soda. The sound and picture is excellent. Its a nonprofit too! Plus its got that historical theater feel. And reasonably priced. Id rather go here than a big box theater any day.

Great, classic theater. Airways an excellent selection of movies and a lot of special releases. Folks are nice, great selection of draft beer for $5, popcorn is only a few bucks. Whats not to love?

Love this place! They have so many events that center around movies and movie culture. Keep an eye on there events page you never know which movie celebrity will be in town for a movie premier!

This is a great neighborhood theater. Definitely not your Cineplex type. They focus more on art type films and indie films. The architecture and decoration are wonderful. Comfortable seating with table top area in front to put your food and drink on. Very affordable. Only handicap accessible on the lower floor, some movies you have to go up stairs to get to.

Awesome historic theatre that is a non-profit place to see 1st run films along with retro, local and foreign films.Good concession eats too without feeling gouged!

A great place to see a movie! Great projector, good sound, great movies.

What a great Portland icon and the movies they get are rare and fun most of the time but thats just my opinion.Also maybe have the employees be less rude when you talk to them. It is odd to order food and get annoyed looks and ask for confirmation of what theater your movie is in and told there is a sign over there.Of course this is Portland!

Absolutely the best way to see a movie. Great popcorn, selection of bottled (glass is an odd choice) drinks, the Pizza Pie Hole, beer and wine.Screen is gorgeous, sounds great, seats are cozy.Typical city parking, so be ready and early.

Any business that has great beer and movies gets a big mark up the ladder from us. Add the amazing front of the theater which is historical and you have a Portland landmark !

Great historic theater. I recommend getting a subscription if youre into movies at all. They regularly show rare indie, cult classics, silent films with live pipe organ music, and special events make this more than just a basic movie theater. They also support showing in film (35mm, 70mm for example). Just make sure you show up early for the more unique showings.

Small Town feel. Good pizza, excellent staff. local beer. All about St. Johns PDX.

Love going wvwry chance i can. Best popcon in Portland, the 70mm shows are must see events as well

Pretty cool historic theater. Great concessions at very reasonable prices. The only downside is really the seats, which are old and not the greatest. It definitely gets pretty busy sometimes so you will want to come a bit early for sure.

Really wonderful classic historic theater. Great prices in concessions and tickets. You can even get pizza!

A great vintage theater that shows classic and new movies with comfortable seats at reasonable prices. Serves real food and drinks plus theater junk food. Its everything I want in a movie theater. Looking forward to attending fun events and festivals.

My favorite indie theater in Portland. Beer and pizza at theaters is now common, but what The Hollywood brings to the table is not just indie films, but also great events and special showings, like themed films, cult classics, and special prints of rare cuts. They also do a lot of 70mm showings, if youre into that sort of thing. Their new partnership with Movie Madness shows their crucial place in providing serious film fans with their fix in Portland.

I originally had tickets to another theater in Portland for a 3d imax movie. I returned them because I thought it might be better to try out a theater with more local/historical flair. The Hollywood theater ended up being one of the most unique film experiences Ive ever had. The popcorn was perfect. I highly recommend catching something here if you are visiting Portland and have time.

I LOVE this theater for playing older films (ex. Infra-Man) and for hosting the African Film Fest, as well as for great service, clean floor, comfortable seats and a reasonable price.I also appreciate them hosting unique experiences like live organ accompaniment to silent films and music fests like the recent 10 year anniversary of Psychic Sounds.

Arrive at least 20 minutes before the film starts if you fancy a popcorn.

Great pricing for movies food and drinks. Great popcorn. Excellent diverse choice of movies. Seating is comfy and truly a Portland experience. Lunch and dinner options nearby are great and the freeway access makes it easy to get in n out

Very nice historic theater with wide screens and comfortable seats. Also a pretty good price for the beautiful venue.

Classic theater experience. Super good prices on theater treats and popcorn. Pizza is available from the next door pizza place. Staff is friendly and helpful. The movie I watched was incredibly loud. Watch your ears. Sound quality was incredible and movies on 70 mm film are amazing.

Love this place on so many levels. The movies, the volunteers/staff, the snacks, the ambiance the entire theater itself is a great experience. Very much the theater of a different era. Even a working pipe organ with bellows in the basement. Check this place out now f u get a chance. Always a great movie selections playing. Not the mainstream or art house norms.

It is a lovely building with good movies and good food and drink. What more do you need

TICKET PRICE 9 DOLLARS EVERYDAY GENERAL ADMISSION THEY SUPPORT LOCAL INDEPENDENT BUSINESSES SIZZLE PIE IS NEXT DOOR ONLY BEEN THERE TWICE BUT NEVER DISAPPOINTED I WOULD GO THERE AGAIN IN THE FUTURE!

Reasonable prices, happy staff, and decent popcorn. Get here early for good seats! They do not have fountain soda.

Great theater. Always putting on special viewings for older print films. A real Portland treasure.

I love this theater and the work theyre doing to support film.

Amazing historic theatre. Lots of cool special events and interesting screenings.

I adore this theater. A great piece of portland history and a fun place to see a movie.

Love this old theater. Affordable old and current movies. Great pizza and beer.

Ive been coming to this place since my grandparents brought me here in the 50s. Portland has lost a lot of gorgeous old movie palaces over the years. Thank heavens the Hollywood survived and is now a vibrant, inestimable part of our cinema scene due to its not-for-profit status. And every time I go there, I enjoy it both for what it is and for what it was in my childhood memories.

A not for profit Theater. Whats not to love. Great selection of modern and classic films. Fun place to volunteer. Events and special screenings all the time. Great selection of consesuons. I love them.

Great place to catch mainstream and indie films. Good brew and wine selection. Seats comfy with tables for your snacks and drinks

Saw the premiere This is Tim and had a wonderful evening. Theater was cozy, yet spacious and the upstairs concession and restrooms had no waiting in line.

I like that theyve finally put in new chairs. We love going here. We get to see older movies, special flicks, and independent films. They have beer and yummy things to eat. A much better theater experience than regular theaters.

Always a great lineup of classic films! Last night was War of the Worlds (1953).

If you love movies big, small, old, new, acclaimed and cult. This is the place.

Super cozy place and great movie selections. Love it!

Awesome old theater and really good customer service.

I love the Hollywood Theater! They are such a fantastic part of our arts community in Portland.

Great theater in the old movie house style, but upgraded. Seating is not the fancy recliner style that newer theaters have but there is a counter running along the front of each row so you can put your food or drink down. They serve pizza which comes from the pizza place next door, I think its Sizzle Pie. My only negative is that my slice was quite stale, no sizzle at all. I think it had been sitting out for a while. As a consequence, I will probably not buy pizza there again. Other than that I do enjoy going there.

The Hollywood theater is by far the best movie theater in Portland and one of the finest cinema arts preservation programs in the country. Their dedication to film is unparalleled, bringing every genre, every style to their massive screen and sharing their love and passion with film goers of all ages.

Amazing historic theater with modern equipment. Excellent first run and programmed films. Inexpensive concessions. A must visit!

A valuable part of Portland history still going strong!

One of the great places in Portland, OR. Large theater that can show real live 70mm movies, affordable snacks and beer, and a wonderfully curated slate of movies throughout the year

I absolutely love the interior paint it is so beautiful inside and it just makes you feel warm and cushioned and I want my casket to look like the inside of Hollywood theater

Classic old timey theater. Offers some wonderful unique viewing options.

The Hollywood Theater is a Portland landmark, and one of the many unsung heroes in the fight to preserve classic film, and ultimately, the best possible way to experience watching films. They serve fantastic food, including the local iconic Sizzle Pie pizza, and many fantastic local libations. If youre a fan of video(as in VHS), check out their cousin, Movie Madness!

I really love the historic feel to this place.

This place is awesome. Ill be back for sure!

Great theater, beautiful inside and out. Fantastic food and drinks, at good prices. This is what a movie theater should be like.

Slowly being lovingly restored. A great venue for silent movies.

It is such a cool old-fashioned theater. I saw The Biggest Little Farm here. The movie was awesome and the food and seating were great and very comfortable!

Beautiful historic theater. Inside is amazing too. The theaters are some of the best in the area. We love Hollywood Theater!

A serious treasure to the Portland community. Im a big movie buff and these days it is hard to find a theater that is about movies, not just big blockbusters and selling you junk food at a huge mark-up. The Hollywood is a classy venue and they do a great job fostering a community people who just love film.

Absolutely best nostalgic place to watch a movie in Portland! Plus best food & beverage availability, for very reasonable prices! Additionally offers membership packages that help preserve the Hollywood area history, while offering its members special discounts & access to member viewing opportunities!And the view of exterior is even better at night, when all the lighting is on!

For old school amazing coolThis is the spot

Ive been going here for over 30 years, and they have only gotten better. Great eclectic selection of films, for every taste.

So fun doing/seeing the Horror Fest here!

Always enjoy this wonderful theatre and they people who work here!

Changing to 4 stars because of the attitude of several staff members. Not responding to thank you or have a good night is rude. I also once inquired about when tickets were going on sale and was just given attitude. Didnt even attempt to help, just told me he had no idea and got frustrated.Awesome selection! They always have first time premieres and also curate 70mm showings. The only thing they could use is a cocktail bar!

Beautiful, historic theater perfect for cinema buffs who enjoy new and classic film experiences.

This is such a gem! Great movies, friendly staff and an amazing vintage interior.

This place is great. From new releases to obscure movies from the past, this theater truly does it all. You can watch new releases in digital format, regular showings of 35mm films and they have one of the only 70mm projectors in Oregon. Plus they are next door to the best pizza place in Oregon, and you can order pizza by the slice from their lobby and take your pizza into the movie with you. They have regular star appearances and Q&As with them, its a very cool place to be for any film lover.

Absolutely go to B-movie Bingo. You will regret not going. Its an amazing amount of fun. But be warned: it is interacive. Stay away if your an old curmudgeon who doesnt like people talking during a movie.

Very interesting and different restaurants but to sit where your favorite stars sat is awesome! lots of homeless though.

My favorite theatre in all of Portland. Seats are actually comfortable for an old school theatre. The biggest screen they have (on the first floor) works great for sci fi movies.

Amazing seating and great theater. Will be coming here often!

I dont write reviews and find the star rating system woefully inadequate of its existence. However, after watching Quentin Tarantinos Once upon a time ... In Hollywood, I am compelled to do just that. This theater is a movie lovers den. I imagine many people might have reasons to see movies elsewhere but, for a true film experience with fellow cinephiles, the difference between a reason and an excuse doesnt cut the mustard. Spend one opening weekend of a Director you love here and youll be back for more.

This classic theater may be the reason this area of Portland Oregon is called the historic Hollywood District. The building is unbelievable. From the overall architecture to the intricate, sculpted facade with its equally detailed, paint scheme, it is breathtaking and a must see if you visit Portland. Unfortunately I was not there at a time when the interior was accessible, but the upcoming attraction billboards looked like a combination of films and live performances. This theater is clearly a reflection of The Arts in every way.

The play great campy old stuff like kung-fu theater and grindhouse double features. This place is not to be missed. Plus concession prices are fair and reasonable.

Best theater in Portland, hands down. (Though I do love Cinema 21!)

A cool theater, glad its still around.

Beautiful architecture and great viewing experience. Would recommend this theater to movie-loving hipsters from Portland.
