Amazing staff. Great beer and candy. Popcorn is vegan (before butter being added). Watched Birds of Pray and had a wonderful time. The second floor has tables and seating so thats where the best seats in the House are imo. Enjoy!

Lovely old building. They kept all the cool decor. Comfy seats. They will bring you food you ordered where you sit. Sound is heavy on the deep base.

Fun vintage theater. Pizza and nachos with beer and cider. No parking.

Great atmosphere and great deals every day of the week.

Old historic theaters in Oregon are tremendous treasures. The Mission Theater is one of these rare gems that really stand out from the others in its uniqueness. You can enjoy an adult beverage and pub-style food while watching a movie. The employees here take sincere pride in their work, and it shows in the way all things are done. The entire escapade feels authentic and intentional. Watching a movie here adds a richness to the overall movie experience that is hard to explain in words. Quite like going in a time machine back to a golden age of cinema. It is magical and you should go see what it is like for yourself.

If you like middle aged white people laughing too hard and rustling their food bags excessively while their phone is going off and they are too drunk to realize its THIER phone, well buddy, this is your theatre! But if you can look beyond the other moviegoers, its actually a nice place. Friendly staff, super clean, cheaper than other theatres because they are counting on your ordering food and booze! Your standard McMenamins vibe! Definitely take advantage of that student discount and dont forget your ID! And show up early so you dont get caught in a seat where you have to crane your neck.

First run movies and great beer at affordable prices. Plus, the bartender is a font of information. I love the balcony seating and the tables for food and drink as well. Cant believe I hadnt come here before.

Really cool historic theater! Full bar and menu brought to your sweet before the movie starts, ( remember, no famous tots at this location because of no fryer) Awesome balcony seats, but maybe get there early if you dont want a seat to the left or right of the screen! Overall rad spot!

This is a great spot for music. It is a small intimate venue with good acoustics.

Totally cool and helpful staff. Love the hummus plate at McMenamins. Comfy theatre with a large tap selection.

Such a beautiful building and theatre... Breaks my heart to hear it no longer being a music venue.

One of my favorite places to see a movie. They have lot of good drinks on tap.

If you have been to Hollywood California for the red carpet premiere movies, shown at The Graumans Chinese / Manns Theater, considered one of the iconic historic Theaters on the West Coast. The Mission Theater in the NW Alphabet District rivals The Graumans, as a treasure, that rates as a must stop for moviegoers. It is a restored architectural gem, that is a single screen theater, with a classic balcony. it is my first choice to see a film and to take guests.If you have not been to a movie here you need to go, you will be rewarded with a memorable experience.

Loved it. Very cool venue. Comfy seats. Reasonabnle prices. Came here for a show, and had a great time.

Love this little McMenamins. More cozy than the other theaters. Once saw Janet Jacksons wardrobe malfunction here on a Superbowl Sunday. It was surreal because the area was about 8 feet tall!

This theatre, and its proprietess, are a jewel. We sat in very comfortable seating in the balcony, where one can enjoy pizza, a humus plate, or some delicious popcorn during the show, and there is a full bar available. This theatre features a lovely wide screen and sophisticated sound. Absolutely excellent service!!! We loved the entire experience!!!

Good place to go for beer, pizza and a movie. Also hosts science pub about once a month.

As with most places in the McMenamins lineup the atmosphere is warm and cozy. Its heavily decorated in a way that some might call gaudy but its just the charm of the place. The theatre had a pretty decent sized stage and the chairs werent too uncomfortable. The drinks were pricy but they usually are at these places. Theres no assigned seating so if you want a good seat youll have to line up before the doors open. The staff were very friendly and professional and went out of their way to get every checked in fast.

Just watched Birds of Prey. Was an awesome movie. Service was great and is excellent to see a movie at a vintage theater.

Fairly limited food menu compared to your average mcmenamins experience. However the staff here was super nice and the theater chairs very comfortable

Really cool venue, good beer options a variety of food on the menu and lots of seating with views of the stage.

Such a cool place to watch a film in downtown portland! Love that you can order food!!

Beautiful old theatre with an awesome balcony seating option. The refreshments available in the lobby vary from candy to light bar fare. Alcoholic beverages are served here.

Great place to see a movie. Full bar and food, tables, comfy seats and unique movie experience! Very friendly staff.

Pretty cool set up. Great theatre quality and all the things you love about McMenamins while you enjoy a show - their christmas showing of elf came with a free drink too.

Just great food . Really cool staff, a great place to hang out

Really old theater remade with modern lounge seating. Full bar and food, whats not to love?

Such a fun theater. The updated seats are super comfy. Keep your eye on the chalkboard in the lobby for drink specials!

Fun second run theater with good food and snack options, plus beer, wine and other n.a. options that are beyond the norm (like ginger beer).

Beautiful theatre serving up great food and drinks. Stumbled upon it while wandering on vacation and decided to come back to watch a movie that evening. Its not the best theatre experience youll ever have for sound and video but it is unique and you can get some quality drinks for the show.

Great place to watch a movie (balcony views are cool). And they have a solid lineup of cold beverages. Cozy atmosphere

Stopped in to get the passport stamped as we passed through the area. The staff was more than cordial and gave us the nickel tour. If I lived in the area there would be no reason not to make this the place to see a movie with friends and family.

Nice comfy seats, decent popcorn w/ amenities, nice beer selection.

Had an awesome time tonight. Laid back vibe and quality experience.

This is a great place to watch old movies. You really get into it. And its awesome that they serve beer and liquor here. The popcorn is awesome! I highly recommend getting there early because the seats fill up fast

Super cheap tickets and they play older cool movies. Mcmennamins mission is very respectable and on the upside all the building are amazing. The food is equivalent to what youd get a a bar and the drinks are decently strong. Lots of good beers and wine to chose from. Highly recommend over most theatres.

Very cool place for music.

A solid, actually, excellent place to see a flick and drink a quality ale.

This place has all the beer and spirits a regular Mcmenamins has, wrapped up in a beautiful interior. The movie quality was superb. A real, underutilized treasure in the neighborhood.

Great place to hang out, watch a movie, eat some nice food. Very cozy atmosphere, definitely would recommend, if the right movie is showing, its real hard to beat

The last stamp on my passport quest! The kids and I enjoyed the theatre, pretty good view from everywhere. Food options are pizza and salads with a few other appetizers. Beer is excellent as always

We have been going here for years. Brings back great memories. One of the first places, if not the first, that you could get a beer and see a movie.

Awesome experience. Customer service was top notch and great place watch a movie. Even if the movie is average the experience there makes up for it.

Excellent show! Saw the Melissa Etheridge Tribute show and was very impressed with the local talent. The sound was great and seats were great too!

Dope little place with a great atmosphere. We watched The Princess Bride. When you go, get there early and have your companion get premium seating upstairs while you get drinks and snacks. Prices arent too bad. We had a great time!

Beautiful building, quick and wonderful service, and fair ticket prices. Well be visiting again!

Fun place to view movies while enjoying beers and cider. The food options are limited. The floor is flat but screen high enough so its not an issue. Tables enable you to set your drinks and/or food down. Chairs are also movable and comfortable enough to enjoy a movie. Inexpensive older movies. Beers for less than youd pay for a large soda at regular movie theater.

During the wildfires a few years back I went to see Conan the Barbarian with a friend. Came out of the theater to a blood-red sunset raining ash. Best movie experience yet.Great food selection, beers, and actual tables to watch the movie from.

The Tortilla chips covered with black beans, grilled peppers, and cheeses were freshly made and not from a bag...delivered to our theatre seats, too.

Love this place! Good pizza, awesome historic theater and the beer is amazing.

Great atmosphere, a hybrid of pub+cinema that gives a fun, lay back and intimate movie experience. Monday and Tuesday only $5

Amelie and Princess Bride on the Big Screen. Great venue! Drink the guest tap.

I saw the Fifth Element for the first time here!! Life changing!!! Also, why hadnt I seen this before someone pleasd tell me...I love how intimate the theatre is and they got good drinks on tap.Comfy spacious seats.

Weve been here twice for movies, and had a great experience each time. If youre going to see a movie here, I would recommend arriving 20-30 minutes before it starts to acquire a good seat, especially if youre going with a group. The rest of the drinks are typical McMenamins fare, although they have a limited food menu compared to their regular restaurants.

Great place. Friendly staff and very cozy place to watch a movie.

Very nice theater. Could use restrooms upstairs.

Great atmosphere and food! Its not crowded and I would definitely recommend watching movies here.

Such a great experience here!! We watched its a wonderful Life during the Christmas weekend. Thoroughly enjoyed the drinks and snacks while relaxing in those comfy seats!

Such a great time and totally nostalgic! We watched the Breakfast Club and it was so cool to see it in a theater. We sat downstairs for easy access to cheesy pretzels and pitcher refills :-P One thing I would change is the location of the popcorn machine. A few people ordered it during the movie and the pops could be heard throughout the theater, but luckily most people got their popcorn before the movie started. Best $2 ever spent!

Took my daughter out to Mic Check. Music was pretty good. The enviornment was chill. Drinks were cold. Over all had a good time.

They put in new comfy theater chairs. I saw Spiderman there and it was great.

See the best movie in years mondays only tuve dllrs and you can buy your Glass of wine ir beer.

Great casual place to watch a movie and drink a beer

Nice venue, but ciders are 7 dollars a glass, which is cheap when compared to even the house wines.

One of our favorite spots to watch a movie

Mission Theatre is such a fun place to watch a nostalgic movie. There is seating on both levels and tables to hold all of your snacks. In addition to popcorn and soda, they also sell delicious pizza and beer!

Went to a great show here! The seating is set up pretty well for having a consistently good view of the stage. The food was pricey in relation to what you get (but its a McMenamins, no surprise there), and one of the vents had the kitchen crews loud music filtering up which was pretty distracting. Aside from those issues it was a good time!

Beautiful old theater with a full bar and balcony...

Nice old theater. This was a special event so it sold out, which meant seating was a little bit of a challenge. The balcony is worth getting there early.

Another line for drinks only would be fabulous, thats just a suggestion. The service and people are great. Turn the volume up a bit, people talking are jerks to contend with.

What a great venue and excellent staff. I was so pleased as a performer to have such a friendly group of staff, amazing drinks, and such a great show, space, and the greenroom is fantastic. What a fun time .

Attended a cocktail and movie showing of Willow. Staff was late opening doors (8pm doors with 9pm showing) by almost 20min. Cocktail was tasty and served at a table separate from concessions which was good because the line was so long long after the movie started. Overall would attend another event but would arrive earlier to be a little further up in line.

An emphasis on classic movies and other entertainment not normally available at a movie theater. Decent brew and view food options with timely service. Good cocktails and draft beer list. It has a small parking lot and is easily accessible from 405. A short walk from the Pearl district

This place is awesome! Great choice of local crafts! pizza is over priced. Still worthy of a 5 star review all day long!

Nice place, I enjoy the balcony when its not busy

What a cool space! im forever impressed by what the mcmenamins have done to so many structures in the PNW, and the Mission is no exception. this little one screen theater offers a clean, super comfortable seating (on the balcony no less), an awesome beer/cider selection, and the quirkiness and authenticity one should expect from Portland. the screen itself is fairly small and the sound was serviceable. i would definitely return to see another film here.

I always enjoy their events. Super fun. Its a beatiful old theatre full of charector. Now they are showing first run movies which is awesome! Pretzels with cheese sause and craft beer - Im in!

Beautiful theater and fun staff!

Stellar service and awesome venue. The staff is always friendly and easy to talk to

Great place to watch movies, have food or popcorn and various liquids to wash down your food. Very relaxed and enjoyable atmosphere. Prices are very reasonable, because the food is not meager in quantity or quality.

I liked watching the movie from the Balcony. Good soft pretzels and popcorn.

Seeing shows here is worth the cover. Plenty of dancing space, good drinks, and the sound is great!

I went to mission theater to enjoy Willow tonight with my daughter and friend. Were working on completing our 4th passports so weve been there many times before. However this time the staff was extremely rude and made us feel like we were an inconvenience to them.When I handed my passport to one of the employees I tried explaining something pertaining to the passport that she needed to know. Before I could finish she interrupted me and said Your picture is not in here you need picture ID in the most rude way Ive ever heard someone ask for my ID. I handed her my ID and she inspected it for a good 10 seconds like I was handing her a fake ID or something. (I was not buying alcohol or anything age restricted)We had also asked if we could redeem our free burger for the completed page. They pointed to the board and said thats what we serve and walked off to continue their personal conversation with another employee. We asked if we could order to go from Blue Moon up the street. They replied I guess and walked off.Please dont let this stop you from going and enjoying mission theater because its a great little spot. After completing 3 passports weve never been treated like that at any McMenamins. Our experience is in no way shape or form a reflection of how Mcmenamins treats its customers at all. It seems like we caught them on a bad day or something.

Older theater, but they do more than just movies. They are a theater pub, so there is food, beer, ciders, etc. Also, they have concerts, science pubs, geek trivia nights. Check out their website for all they offer.

Is a really cool building, historic. The seats are nice, especially in the balcony. Great to see older movies here or concerts. Menu is limited compared to their other theaters however. But overall it is a fun experience.

McMenamins restaurants are known for their strangely high prices and apathetic service. The Mission, however, is just a great intimate place to watch a show. The sound system and screen are both great. Concessions are diverse and fast. Friendly, engaged staff.

Clean, quiet, servers warmed up to you quickly. First run movies.

Been here a few times. There plays arent that great but a good place to go relax and drink a beer

Fun venue for a concert. Small though. Get there when doors open if u want to ensure good seats. It was general admission seating, and some later arrivals didnt get seats and had to stand...

Used to be one of my favorite places in Portland. Saw a ton of movies here, and are a lot of great meals. It isnt the same anymore though. Food is mediocre, and the space feels more corporate and characterless. A real shame.

I loved loved loved the bingo with Poison Waters. But please for the love of all thats holy turn on the A/C! So very hot in here!

It was so nice to have the monthly Cascade Blues Association meeting here. This room was designed for . The sound was amazing!

Very comfortable seating (speaking as a larger gal)

Its a bit run down and the audio quality could be better. You go for the nostalgic movies they show.

Had a blast watching the Bumpin’ Ugs!! Great time!! They played with Sol Riddim and Balance Trick for a reggae trifecta!

Really enjoyed the Mission as a live music venue. A nice, intimate setting with quality performers and good drinks & treats, too.

Amazing old theatre. Will definitely see Miz Kitty there again!

This place is a fun spot to watch a movie or show. We enjoyed the food and drinks while catching a later rerun of Grease. It was a blast.

I love the Mission. Cool atmosphere, but not *too* nice. Not so nice you dont feel like you can put your feet up, you know? You can start a conversation, be yourself, and the service staff are just people. A very welcoming vibe.Had the Irish stout on nitro, a Manhattan, and the chips and salsa with guac while my wife and I watched North by North West (for the 10th time, heh). A near-perfect date night.

Fun theater, especially for special events. Bartenders know what theyre doing and the pizza is delicious!
