I dont hate it.Ive never actually been inside it

Even on a snowy night in Portland the Roseway delivers in terms of single screen entertainment! The seats are comfy and there’s ample legroom plus the prices are very affordable even on a Friday night. The stained glass homages to studios’ logos are a solid touch. And I can’t say enough about having a friendly neighborhood movie theater!

So far hit up about four movies here (I dont go to the movies often) but I have grown to really like this theater. Admission is good, snacks arent overpriced like at a couple.of chains (coughcoughregalcoughcough. Man I should get thst looked at) seating is comfy without being overblown, I know theyre having some.issues with covid but then whoniant?

My rule is If its not at the Roseway, Im not going I am not a big fan of the other Theaters in the Portland area.Went to a movie here last night (a Tuesday). 8pm showing. $8. There were six of us in the theater. Everyone was able to spread out for an unobstructed view. The rocking seats are comfortable and have cup holders. The arm rests are starting to show some wear but it doesnt affect the comfort. The air conditioning was perfect for a hot night.Soda mix is good. The popcorn is large, round and firm but too darn salty for my taste. Prices are reasonable.The screen size is large and the sound system is awesome.Im kind of torn giving this theater five stars because it is a best kept secret for the neighborhood. I dont want too many people to find out what a gem this theater is. So shhhhhhhh. Only tell your best friends.

Nice old time movie house. Very comfy seats. Staff is laid back and helpful. Nice to enjoy a movie without hearing the movie and the other side of the wall.

A cool, kitschy, old school, one-movie showing at a time theater! I loved the stained glass in the hallway depicting the old movie production companies. The theater was clean and well maintained. The price for popcorn and soda and two movie tickets was around the average. It harkens back to the days of when you went to a movie and it was open seating.

The best little theater. I grew up here. It is still awesome and comfortable. Great film. Great price. Just s perfect neighborhood place to go.

Best Theater in Portland for authentic retro Movie Theater experience with modern visual and sound. Very reasonable admission prices, beautiful interior with awesome stained glass decor of classic movie studios.One thing could make this the best retro movie theater experience ever... Close those curtains over the screen until the previews start then slowly roll them open as the lights dim.This is how it was when I was a kid going to see movies here. Every aspect of this movie theater is better now (seats are roomy and so comfortable! ) ...Except that one thing... Close those curtains till the lights start to dim and you have the best movie experience in town!

Staff are super chill and friendly, snacks are plentiful, but the popcorn could be better. The interior is awesome in every sense of the word. They usually show the best of whatever is being played at the multiplexes so give this place a shot!

The Roseway is a great movie theater. Classic movie theater decor, huge screen, really clear digital projection and Dolby 7.1 digital sound. Extremely friendly staff every time Ive gone. Only reason its not 5 stars is that I like to drink beer, and they dont serve it here (which is an exception to the rule, in Portland, OR).

Great theater. Friendly staff. Good prices. Neighborhood parking. We always go there on Christmas.

Great theatre, but cold as the morgue. I will definitely bring my layers with me next time

I love most of this. I dont love the lack of disabled bathrooms. Isnt that illegal?

I love the big old theaters with properly sized screens. I love even more when these theaters show current release movies. I love even more when they dont charge an arm and a leg for the tickets and popcorn. This theater is awesome.

Nice neighborhood theatre. Single screen means only one movie on the marquee for a couple weeks. Sound is good. Seats are comfy. Concessions are basic-boxed candies and popcorn, sodas and water. As long as theyve got a movie playing that I want to see Ill be back!

I tend to have a heart for this little place. My brother and I worked here as one of our first jobs when we were just kids. We would get paid candy and about 2 bucks each to come in and clean out the trash from the theaters after a movie. It was a fun time. Anyhow I brought my niece by here to check it out and tell her a bit of history. Great place, cute neighborhood, vintage feel.

Saw the Joker here. Nice neighborhood theatre.

A nice never busy little old theater.

Great place to catch a movie. The sound system is incredible and the chairs are very comfortable bed space for your legs. The movie that we watched was glass and I would not recommending watching that movie are spending the money to watch it no matter how good the previews are. It was a very boring movie my friend fell asleep three times during the movie maybe four. Great Theatre very poor movie

Quaint little theater. Not handicap accessible. Bathrooms are in the basement, extremely narrow stalls. Comfortable theater seats, the arm rests can be raised.

If theres a movie you REALLY REALLY want to see. Go see it here. All the major movies that come out I wont see it anywhere else. GREAT prices.

The great movie theater with cheap prices and an amazing surround sound

I really love how old the theater is feels like living in the past somewhere but went and saw a couple different movies there its just a walk away from my home and lots of fun not overcrowded its a great little theater with the option of one movie only thing Id like to see is a changing table in the restroom.

Great theater! Screen was a lot bigger than I was expecting for small single-screen theater and the sound was loud and crisp. The deals on admission and snacks are better than any mainstream theater out there. And the seat cushions are thick and comfy. Also, they dont just play first-run movies that have been out for months. I saw Fantastic Beasts 2 with my kids at Roseway the first week it was released in theaters. Support this local business and you wont be disappointed.

Really clean seating and great surround sound! This old school theatre had cool stained glass around the entrance of the one screen and the quality is very good! Popcorn was actually nice n crunchy and staff is very friendly. I definitely would suggest paying this place a visit!

This is a great single screen theater. They play first run movies cheaper than the larger ones and the picture and sound is top notch. This is THE place to go see the best movies.

We love our small, quirky, local theater. Its age shows but thats part of the charm. They show first run films have a decent selection of snacks for purchase. Parking can be an issue so you have to get there early to park on side streets...or take the bus...or walk if you live near by. We love to support our local businesses!

Classic style theater with a small town vibe. Does not feel corporate at all.

Best theater Ive been to. Sound system could use a little boost but the seats and the layout of the theater is great. Definitely my favorite theater in Portland

Don’t believe the fake reviews. They are cheap and deceitful. We purchased a Groupon and they decided they didn’t want to honor it. It is about to expire in a couple weeks so my wife and I thought we better get in to use it and the staff said. Nope, this movie is special so we think you should just have to pay again. Jerks.

Good sound, good seats, nearby, and a couple bucks cheaper than the big chains. No assigned seating.

Great place to see new movies, small and quant

Good prices, no crowds... Awesome spot! Will definitely go back

Very nice neighborhood theater. Cheaper than the chains, and still good seating.

Best popcorn in town. Very respectful, outgoing, kind staff

I love this spot. Zero frills. Not the newest theater or best/cleanest seating or bathrooms, but its more than made up for in character and fair pricing. Not to mention the staff I dealt with were great.

Nicely maintained large single-screen theatre with good sound, reasonably priced concessions. Modern seats rock, dont recline. If theres a parking lot, I couldnt find it.

I love this theater. One of the few independent local theaters left that have first run movies. The picture and sound are fantastic and the chairs are comfortable enough to fall asleep in. Ticket prices are the best at $8

I love the classic feel of this movie theater, one of my local favorites!

Snacks are good. Price is fair. They need to hire a sound engineer so I dont experience hearing loss from occasional sharp static noise next time.

John wick 3 would have been better if he default danced after every kill

Classic movie theater. No beer or wine but great popcorn and an awesome place to see a show.

Great single-screen theater. They get almost all of the big movies, and are so much cheaper than the big chains. Staff are very friendly. Have been over a dozen times and never have had a poor experience. Its our go-to place to see movies.

This is a nice, single screen, theater. They play first run moves. Good sound. Ticket prices are great. Traditional selection of snacks.

They show first run movies at bargain prices. This is an old time movie theater with a single screen and the old style seating. The sound system is great and the movies were clear. Parking is on the street and is limited. Allow some extra time for parking. If you get there early I recommend you go across the street to the Korner Pocket Bar and have a beer or cocktail.

I purchased a groupon. Went to use said groupon and was told that they will not accept it for popular films. Since they only have one theater and they were playing popular films for the duration of my groupon, I didnt get to use it and it expired. This is just bad business. You shouldnt put restrictions that disallow any possibility to use a promotion you sold.

A gem of a neighborhood theater. Totally unpretentious with a huge screen and great sound. And dont miss the stained glass inside.!

Its a hidden gem, playing first run movies at 1990s ticket prices. People working there are chill AND helpful. The seats are comfortable, the sound is solid. The popcorn is perfectly salted.

One of the cool old movie theaters in Portland you can always catch a matinee cheap theyve got a nice little snack bar dont forget about the cool little Armadillo in the lobby

A great place to watch a movie.

Great place still a wonderful theater

Great neighborhood theater! Never a line, and fresh, delicious popcorn.

Best theater in Portland. A single, good screen with a well done sound system. And the people that use this theater understand how to behave in public. No crying children, no cell conversations. And to top off this sundae of awesomeness, they dont show 30 minutes of commercials and previews like Bridgeport does.If I have to pick nits, the popcorn used to be better, but that is the only issue with this place.

Most comfortable seats ever. Great place for family and friends to enjoy a movie.

Great neighborhood theater with one screen but plays first run movies at a discounted price over the big theaters. Standard concession options with reasonable prices. Newer theater chairs. Usually not packed but can be for opening weekends on blockbusters

Independently owned theater showing top notch new release films. Friendly staff and best popcorn and concessions

One of our favorite places for many years. Reasonable prices door food and admission, good movies, nice people. Perfect neighborhood theater

Nice clean small theater very friendly staff

This is a really nice theater . Its clean , very comfortable big seats . The screen is huge , and the sound system is great . They have the best popcorn in town ! They keep the temperature perfect all the time , and at 8 bucks its the best deal in town .

Roseway theatre doesnt do Fandago but an emloyee let me in for free. Friendly workers, comfy seats great view.

Roseway theater is always clean and nice. The popcorn was less than what I liked.

Beautiful theater, comfy seats, big screen and a great price!

Great theater. The art deco is gorgeous.TERRIBLE popcorn. No food. Dont plan to eat anything here.

Comfortable seats, friendly staff, clean surroundings. What more could you ask for.

Old school theater with a modern flare. Def going back!!!

Its a nice nostalgic, old school theater to watch a movie in and Ill be back to do it again!

Been going to this theater forever! The staff is always in a great mood and I love the old time feel

I love this little theater in my neighborhood! Good popcorn and although they only show 1 movie at a time, it is usually a good pick. The downstairs bathrooms are fairly vintage, small and have a slight mildew smell, but hey, who cares when youre usually racing in and out of there anyway to catch the movie. Maybe one day they will start serving beer?

Your neighborhood theater with tremendous history and fun staff.

Roseway is a classic old Portland theater. One auditorium, plenty of snacks, the seats are typical but pretty comfortable.

My favorite place to see a new release. Great prices for admission and popcorn. One huge screen; old school style movie experience with upgraded sound and visual quality.

A very nice theater with a great sound system.

Nice people good prices show good movies comfy seats

My Grandmother took me to the Roseway Theater in 1975 when John Wayne starred in Rooster Cogburn. The theater brings back great memories for me and is a great place to watch movies today. The seats are comfortable, the sound is great, and the setting is historic. The prices cant be beat. Youll have a great experience!

Good theater, good prices, no complaints.Bathrooms are NOT wheelchair accessible. They are downstairs and there is no elevator; stalls are narrow.

Great place as always. Price is lower than chain theaters

Great neighborhood theater with all the basics and no frills. Seats do rock though, which is nice. Single screen. Popcorns okay.

Beautiful old theatre. Not the pretentious multiplex, lacking character.

A great little movie theater, but DONT go hungry because they dont serve food.

I grew up going to this theater and watching Alfred Hitchcock movies, Godzilla in black-in-white, and many other classics Elvis Presley, Marilyn Monroe, Jimmy Stewart, Bob Hope, Jimmy Deranny and so many other famous actors and actresses from the 30s - 50s even the 60s, I also like to hear them play the organ during intermission halfway through the movies. Thanks Mom and Dad and us kids really miss you guys.

Excellent popcorn, nice theater, friendly staff.

Great place to watch movies. Popcorn is always fresh and good.

Quality sound and picture, comfortable seats, clean bathroom, cheap ticket & snack prices. 5th star possible if they add pizza and local draft beer...

Great old theater, lots of character, not much parking.

Nice, single-screen, local theater. The sound and picture quality were great, the seats were comfortable and (as a guy with long legs) there was plenty of leg room. Also, you cant beat the price of $8 for all showtimes.

Great neighborhood theater! Classic feel with all the modern technology. Comfortable seats, great sound and good picture.

The only major problem is that the bathrooms are totally inaccessible for wheelchair customers. Other than that we drive a half hour past our nearest theater to come to Roseway. Great seats, great prices, lovely old palace.

I love small local theaters! They have soda water any size $1.50! Other snacks cheap. Single screen projector. Very nice. No hastle show up early find a seat not bombarded with other nonsense. I only watch movies from here and Hollywood theater.

This is a great one screen neighborhood theater! Generally it is not crowded and the seats are pretty comfortable. There is a concession stand, but I have only sampled the pop corn which is pretty tasty.

A real community theater, but with great new movies and a state-of-the-art auditorium. Its the best of both worlds!

Show time was 4:45, I got there at 5:00. No one in sight, could not get in. I knocked on the door for a few mins, no one showed up. We only missed the previews. That sucked not to be let in.

Love this place, great prices digital sound and projector!!

A great recently refurbished community theater with all the amenities of large theaters without high prices.

Good deals on Groupon nice new movies

The place is so much fun! The seats are great! The screen is huge! And the prices are reasonable! It is a wonderful date night spot! Old time Movie place!

This is the best theater in Portland!!! The prices are cheap, the screen is AMAZING, the sound system is top notch. Everyone should check this place out. If you are able to go to one of the Midnight opening night shows you will not be disappointing.

I really like this theater. The popcorn is the best in town. Hands down.

Great experience as usual. Hands down my favorite theater.

Awesome independent movie theater. The presentation is fantastic and the popcorn is really something too. A great choice for any new release.

Great older theater. Single screen. Only $8 for a ticket and they play new movies. The seats are older too but I think better than modern theater seats. Highly recommend.
