I love this movie theater. Its always clean & well organized by employees. The staff is super friendly, plenty of parking space, and the quality of image and audio is incredibly good. I had the opportunity to watch the hateful eights on 70mm screen; JUST AMAZING. There are plenty of bathrooms available in different parts of the theater, very convenient. Definitely one of my favorite movie theaters!

Cool theater that plays old movies. I liked that there was an intermission.

I love this cinema! It provides such a private and cozy space. Watching a movie here is like being in a home theater. This cinema is such a great pick over the one downtown. Whether you want a date night or a family night, you can expect a good time. The prices are great also. I mean a drink and popcorn for 6-7 dollars, you can’t beat that. I viewed Tim Burton’s Batman for my first time here. I’ll definitely be back. It’s tucked away but the cleanliness and decorations are beyond standards. It’s the perfect place to go.

It’s a movie theater where you can order meals and drinks! There are vegan options. I’m not sure what the capacity of the theater is like. Maybe it can hold up to 50 people or so. It’s not uncommon for a show to sell out. It’s a great place to go on a date or with a group of friends. Or solo, if you’re into that. Sometimes there are even fun events at this place. The 80s sing-along was quite memorable. ;)

Great little show house on Capitol Hill. Parking isnt the best but it is available.

Nice place, great atmosphere and awesome service. I wasnt sure how people would behave, but they were quiet (or even quieter) than a regular cinema.The vintage trailers and short features before the movie were a nice addition too.

Me and some friends come here often and never have we had a bad experience.

Cozy, great for friendly gatherings or smaller groups. The menu and drinks are terrific, and the staff is too! Vegan/ dietary requirements arent a problem, either. Cant wait to go again!

Semi comfortable booth seating, very friendly staff, good movies. You can eat dinner here if you want, theres beer, soda, popcorn, pizza, burger etc. Its a little difficult to eat during the movie as its very dark in front of you. Im excited to go back !

Ive never actually gone to a show here but I always want to and the overlords within the internet insist that Ive been here so perhaps I had a blackout and did, in fact, go to central cinnamon. Yes, that seems likely. My bouts of amnesia have been out of hand lately! These blackouts are not due to the ingestion of foreign substances as some may think, but due to certain sinister alignments I cannot quantify. Nonetheless, I think I would have liked it here, so five stars all the way to the dark dark moon.

Honestly loved my first experience here. They were packed but service was still very hospitable and as fast as possible. Really loved their popcorn. I can see why its my friends favorite place.

This theater is great for old movies. The theater itself is a pretty good size and the food selection is good. The cost of the tickets are usually around 5 dollars a ticket which is not bad. The sound is really good and they even have intermission which personally I miss in normal movie theaters. I highly recommend this place.

Theater that shows great movies, host trivia nights and other fun events. They are an active participant in the community and the crowd there is typically fun. It is a great group of people to watch a movie with! Food and drinks are reasonably priced, I usually get some fries and a beer and am very happy!

Neat place! We saw Blade Runner at a special showing, and the space was great - intimate, comfy, etc. The food was delicious, too - we got a bottle of wine, popcorn with butter, olives, and a creme brulee. I loved that they had an intermission a.k.a. a well-timed bathroom break. :)

Everything you could want from a theater that shows one movie at a time (only one screen). They show classics! I just watched Casablanca. And that have good food options for a theater, far beyond what you might normally expect (think Cinemark). The seating is not fancy with recliner chairs, but that would not go with the aesthetic and ambiance of this theater. Its homey and lovely. Cant wait to go back!

Not your normal theater!Very clean, incredibly friendly staff, and above average foods and drinks. Everything has a fresh localKind of flare and still simple enough for a movie. Vegan options, custom drinks that are film specific, wide assortment of snacks and entrees. Excellent place for a date night or dinner and movie all in one! Cheap ticket prices as well and food and drinks on par and below what id expect at a theater. Service was also awesome! Only little gripe is while I love the seating setup I wish I could recline, or have the option to move from only upright position. Cinnebarre while corporate and cheesy has ideal seating for dinner and movie. This place hands down way better overall and love the cool theme nights and old school movie offerings!

I really love this movie theater. Its great to be able to see older movies, the food and drinks are good and the customer service is always amazing! No complaints here.

Neighborhood cinema and dinner rolled into one. Eclectic movie menu.

Fun times, every time! Food, booze, desserts, fancy popcorn, vending machine, soft seats, tables, and a John Waters introduction to every film

I have to admit, I hadnt even heard of this place before a work outing that brought me here. They really ought to advertise more... what a great concept! We all had a blast, and the food/beer was pretty good. Id love to come back for a trivia night, it looks like a great venue for it.

I love coming here, the food is great and the service staff are awesome. They make some of the best pizza around, would make you wish it was delivery. And the atmosphere here is amazing, my new hang out spot.

Absolutely top tier. Seattle has no idea how good they have it with Central Cinema. The personal touch from management/ownership, delicious and broad menu, and casual atmosphere make a terrific contrast to Drafthouse viewing. We saw Re-Animator here and as they were showing a movie attendees were obviously already familiar with, there was room for quiet comments & laughs among friends. This showing was essentially a highly curated living room experience with delicious food (get those fried risotto bites you wont regret it) and a great classic film. 11/10, cant wait to go back

Were had great food (gnocchi and peas, philly cheese steaks) and drinks and enjoyed some hard to find movies. The wait staff was attentive and fun. The seating was comfortable. We will definitely be back. You should go too!

Amazing movie selection and viewing experience! Good selection of alcohol. The food is generally okay, its not terribly high quality and a little pricey for what it is. Their popcorn is great though - which is what really matters!

Movie Cat Trivia is super fun! Brian and Jess were really funny and cool. Come to Central Cinema for showings of the Room, but make sure to bring some spoons!

This was a great theatre. Granddaughter and I had fun seeing Totoro here.

Finally made it to a screening of The Room here.I havent laughed so hard in such a long time!Love this place, the table service during the movie, the delicious food and drinks, and the fellow The Room fans shouting out the lines and throwing compostable spoons at the screen by the handful.Highly recommend.

So far been here once and plan to go again! Food is a little over priced for what it is but they do cheap movies so they gotta make some money somewhere. Hahah that being said, don’t order the cheese bread because it was like 4 small pieces for 8-9 dollars. Weird sized booths so seating got full fast and hard to save seats if your whole team isn’t there so be aware. Great atmosphere though and who doesn’t love drinking a beer and watching a classic! Will definitely go again when I see a flick I want to see there!

Ive been here a couple times and its fantastic. They consistently offer a quality variety of movies. Getting to see A Nightmare Before Christmas in theaters made my holiday season. Ticket prices are generally very reasonable. They have a full menu, the garlic knots are awesome. Sometimes the service can be a little slow.

Awesome date night location. Full menu with beer, wine, cocktails brought to your seat. Lots of classic films.

Nice local theater, table service during movies, good snacks and drinks

Love this place. Good food and movies. Never a dull time here.

Great little cinema. I can only eat their pizza (which is good, but would be better if their pizza cutter worked,) but I love their drinks. The Pacific Breeze is to die for!

Really chill theater. Friend rented out a room and it was really fun. Food was reasonably priced.

I had reached a crossroads. Did I want to go to the regular theater, see a modern mess? No. I wanted class and comfort.Enter the Central Cinema. The booth-style eatery seating allowed me to relax while a movie from my youth, UHF, played big and loud. I enjoyed it so much I stayed for the second, a personal favorite in Big Trouble in Little China. Then I came back months later to see Killer Klowns from Outer Space, a true example of cinema.Foods tasty, the drinks are strong, and the movies are projected with professionalism. Its always a struggle to park, but I wont hold that against them.

Love when Map Theatre holds events here! And now they do matinees too. Friendly wait staff and good food and drinks. Definite win for friends or a casual date.

Awesome little encore movie theater in Central District. The staff are friendly, the food and drinks are great, and you cant beat the price of tickets. Cant wait to come back!

Had a blast at the Labyrinth Sing-Along/Bowie Trivia night! My kiddo won the costume contest!

Great selection if what they are showing suits your fancy. Good food and atmosphere to boot.

Awesome indie theater. Great food too! Wonderful selection of new and old movies. Yum! Try the cardamom soda and the fancy grilled cheese :)

I work at the central Cinema so i maybe a bit biased but, i love this place! Its simple, community, and passion driven Mom and Pop business, that brings people together.You can vome here to simply watch a movie, or enjoy a drink in the cafe space! Or watch movie and drink and eat at the same time!!! How many places can still say that now a days? Honestly! Not many!Its important for our social culture to keep going to our local theaters to enjoy our historical entertainment :) for fun for fun!!

Great food and classic films for a great price.The interior is really comfy and the staff/service has always been prompt and courteous.This has become my go to place to seeing movies in Seattle.

I watched a showing of The Room here. Fun crowd with good audience participation.Beer selection was good and prices were reasonable for a bar/theatre.

I went to a private birthday party here. The space is comfortable, the staff are very friendly, and the food was quite good. They show a great selection of movies interspersed with some old cartoons (think Ben and Jerry) and clips from classic movies.

Awesome little neighborhood theatre that shows a variety of older and less mainstream films. Tasty food and good cocktails, amazing friendly people working here, great indie vibe, really one of my favorite places in the neighborhood.

This theater is so much fun. The food is decent and not too expensive. But the servers are great and the movies are always fun

This place is DOPEEEEEEE!!!! If I lived in Seattle I would be a regular. It was a mix between the new dine in theatres and a drive-in. Huge menu of food, snacks, and adult drinks. Great setup and crystal clear retro movies on a huge screen.

I love this theater. The size is perfect, the location is great, the food is delicious and their service is spot on. The themed food and drink for The 5th Element was awesome! Highly recommend this amazing cinema experience!

What a great cinema. Fun times.

We went here for a special showing of Roma. Its a fabulous Little Theater tucked into a residential area off of the main Street. My only real complaint is the difficulty parking, but that may have been due to the special event that we attended. After a little investigation I found out that they offbeat and old movies. The main attraction is the restaurant. We had a taste of the food and it was fantastic. Great sandwiches pizzas salads and appetizers. The food is reasonable and the movies are cheap. I cant wait to go back here again.

Go see a sing along. For the love of God!!

Best place to heckle a movie in the world!

My favourite place to see a movie! Get here!!

Neat vibe and a neat little theater. Right price for showing older movies. The food is reasonably priced, too.

An exclusive cozy experience watching classics

Jeez, I didnt know what to expect visiting this movie theater showing old movies. I went to see Spirited Away and I wasnt prepared for the homely atmosphere at all! Amazing, Id never seen such a nice little theater. Foods expensive, but thats to be expected. The atmosphere was so nice in the theater, staff were so familiar and kind, not to mention the seating was restaurant like.

One of my most favorite places! Big bench seats with long bar top tables so you can eat, drink and enjoy cult classics! Food is delicious and you dont have to wait in a big line...

They have the absolute best events and the staff are great. I went recently for a Mario Kart tournament and the atmosphere was awesome. A+

I love the quirky movie selections and fun vibe of this place! Been several times, and its a definite favorite. Small venue, so sometimes service is slow, but staff always are really nice. Great happy hour prices, decent food, pretty comfy seating. Draft beer, coffee, cider, wine, cocktails, soft drinks -- literally something for everyone. Get there early for the best spots!

Great place for obscure movies, food, and good drinks.

This is a great place for a fun night out!They show movies in a wide range of genres--check the schedule.Depending on the movie, the audience may participate or sing along, or not. Your mileage may vary.The staff is helpful and courteous and the bench seating is comfortable.The food is delicious! They serve great coffee, a nice selection of adult beverages and their fresh buttered popcorn is fantastic! Although its tempting to fill up on the tasty entrees, you wont regret saving room for dessert.Parking always seems a little limited, so if youre coming in from the suburbs, consider utilizing a park and ride, taking a bus into Seattle and then either catching a local transfer and walking a short distance or grabbing a cab/lyft.I recommend it for a fun date night.

Awesome venue for private events! Played Mario Kart on a movie screen and it was awesome! Staff was fantastic, food was pretty good.

Great experience! Helpful staff, wonderful selection of films and a nice menu! Will return soon for more Miyazaki films :)

I’m in love with small independent theaters, and I really want to enjoy this place more. The movie selection is great, a lot of older movies with fun events scattered throughout the month. The food was good, good beer selection, and the video/sound quality was perfectly adequate. My biggest gripe was the seating. The bench or regular seats are unbelievably uncomfortable, they must tailor to the college crowd who don’t mind it. I had to leave 3/4 of the way through because my back hurt so much. I did sit in the back section so it’s very possible that the front section was a little comfier. Just get there early! Good date night spot.

Has more charm and magic than any Regal or AMC theater could dream of. My most recent visit I saw UHF and Big Trouble in Little China, and it was the highlight of an already eventful week.

What a fun place, great food, and wonderful service

Best movie theater in Seattle. If you have kids, dont miss Cartoon Happy Hour on Thursday afternoons. Great food and drink too be had while your children gaze like zombies at free old school cartoons. Good times. Awesome staff, too.

My biggest gripe at dinner+movie theaters is that many leave the lights partway on. Central Cinema does not, allowing you to fully escape into the film while being around film lovers enjoying food and drink at great prices. Wholeheartedly recommend, whether its a one-off film or trivia night.

Its a small theater, but it helps with the personal touch. And the screen is plenty big and adio plenty strong!

Super tasty food, awesome throw back flick, fun funky atmosphere. Well definitely be back.

Good selection of vintage, classic, cult, and indie films. Seems like they run the same two films for a few days, they offer four time slots each day, two for each film. They have food and drink options, but the food wasn’t great. My pretzel was hard, and my friend said her garlic knots were still frozen in the middle... the seating is okay, it’s a leather booth type seating that mimics a couch with a small table in front you for your food and drinks. I found it a bit distracting when the waitress would come in during the film. Cute place though, excellent neighborhood and averagely priced for tickets, food, and drinks.

One of my favorite spots in Seattle. Great movie selection from the older films and good snack selection!

Good place to host a proper trivia night, they serve popcorn and drinks to participants. A decent system is in place to enable displays of questions, complete with microphones and music in the background. The seating is decent too, got half the area covered with couches and benches, rest are tables with chairs around em.

Always a fun time. Shows are cool. Drinks and good are good. Last time we went, they advertised a blended pineapple drink. It came on the rocks. When asked, was told it was too hot. Just take it off specials menu or warn us or comp it off bill.Either way I still love this place.

This cinema has some amazing food. Like seriously everything Ive had is good.As a relatively tall person, one of the key things a theater needs to have is seats that arent unfomfortable. These seats do the job just fine.The selection of movies is wide-ranging and thats to its benefit. You never know what theyll show next and its always and adventure!

I love coming here for sing-alongs, old movies, and pitchers of beer. This little theatre really knows its clientele. Bring a friend or two kick back and start enjoying going to the movies.

Food was really good service was really good overall great experience :)

You cant go wrong with viewing a silver screen favorite with a delicious meal served in front of you, creatively named and deliciously crafted drinks, and good ole quirky Seattle company.

We had a great time at the Michael Jackson vs Prince sing along. Great and fun crowd. Lots of dancing. The drink were good too. This was a fun venue. It’s a revamped older theater that sells food and drinks for the movie. The seats in this theater are different than most; they are separate bench seats with a table in front. I would definitely attend another event at Central Cinema.

Great date spot. Get a pitcher of beer, some snacks, and hang out living room style.

It doesnt look like much from the outside BUT once you walk in get prepared for an experience. The quirky but friendly staff. The drinks and food. AND the theater is awesome. A great place to see your favorite films!

A nice community theater that serves pizza and beer what more could you ask for

Great atmosphere, especially for trivia. Very tasty appetizers and pizza. Other entrees have been hit or miss. Solid happy hour menu for food. Limited beer selection but usually one or two solid choices (Georgetown, Elysian, etc).

It’s one of my favorite places in Seattle. Old movies and theme nights. Totally recommended for a fun date night for film lovers

This started as a joke... Honey, dinner and a movie? I was taking my husband out for Date Night and I stumbled across Central CinemaI.It is now a regular date night for us! Great food & drink, great staff and good movies!

See The Room...best time ever

If you enjoy cult movies, this dine-in theater is a ton of fun. Go early so you can watch the old trailers and music videos. GREAT popcorn with gourmet flavors.

Science and a Movie was fantastic!!! The speaker was awesome (very informative, but easy to understand) and the service was great without being distracting. Good food and beverage selections. Im definitely looking forward to more events at Central Cinema!

Movie Cat Trivia is the best

I think if youre looking for a novelty experience this is a good fun time, but overall I had an Eh experience. The seats werent that comfortable, they had some booths which were more comfortable but only one was in optimal viewing the others were either too close or the side view which is okay.Ordered food and drinks, and they were sub par. Fries came out cold, overfilled the drinks with ice, and it was difficult to get the attention of the server to help.

Love the environment. Food was o.k.

What a perfect place for a date night or with a group of friends... amazing service and wonderful food...

Super fun spot to revisit old films and grab a drink. The food isnt stunning, but pretty reasonably yummy and not too expensive.

Fun spot to watch classic and cult classic movies released 10+ years ago for less than $10. You can accompany each movie with popcorn, soda, and/or adult food and beverages. Only downside is the seating is not all new and comfy like they have in the new-fangled first run theaters nowadays.

Small theater, great food and service.

So cool. Excellent movies, great menu, friendly and helpful staff. Make a point to go here and support this place!

I love Central Cinema! Old school movies with a crowd of people who also loved them the first time around. Food is served at this theater and theres an intermission for bathroom breaks, ordering cocktails, or reordering a tasty French press! One of the hidden gems of Seattle and a must see for anyone in the city.

Smaller theater with a great atmosphere. We have seen the room here twice and both times have been amazing experiences. Great food too!

So much fun here! I love that this place exists. best popcorn in town!

This is one of my favorite hangout spots in the city. Great food, excellent drinks, wonderful atmosphere.
