A great theater with diverse Independent films as well as new releases! Super friendly and helpful staff. Serves adult beverages and there are numerous food options within walking distance. Very supportive of local independent film makers! Love this place!

SIFF saved this incredible 3 house theatre where you can experience a truly great movie house with elegance and history.

Always has the newest indies, love the seating, love the snacks. You can even nab real food if you miss dinner, which has been a lifesaver for me. Become a member! You get a popcorn punch card (Did I mention the popcorn is buttery and fantastic?) and cheaper tickets! Lots of sweet volunteers to take your tickets keep this place amazing.

SIFF purchasing the Uptown was the best thing to happen to lower Queen Anne in years. Everything they show is exactly what I want to see. Mind readers I tell you. Popcorn is some of the best in town too. From programs and festivals like Princess Bride screenings around the holidays with live rodents of unusual size (that you can swat with inflatable swords no less) to award winning movies on a stand alone basis, I will keep coming back to SIFF. Support your local theaters! This one can’t be beat.

A great local theatre with lots of independent films coming through. They also have themed show nights with quote-along movies and more. If youre looking for a fun night out at the movies come here.

This place costs more than many others but it is always worth it. Get there early so you can hear the staff tell you details about the movie.

This was my first time visiting the SIFF Cinema. My son has volunteered here over the past few years. I really like supporting establishments of this type. This theater has a very good comforting feel, not pushy like the big chain theaters. The food & drink menu prices are very good. The chairs are comfortable with a rocking style back, they are also clean. The restrooms were clean and all amenities were fully stocked. I LOVE that parking is INCLUDED!! Seems like all the inner Seattle theaters charge parking, but not the SIFF. They have a very good membership program. I plan on driving down fro Everett on more viewings at the SIFF Cinema in Queen Anne.

HUMP Seattle is the reason I visit annually. Great quality screen, well done sound system, and friendly staff that enjoy their job. Who wouldnt when you think about it. Also, parking is amazingly easy despite it being smack dab in the middle of lower queen Anne.

I saw 5 films here in weeks while staying a few blocks away. This well loved theater shows its wear and age. The seats can be wonky at times. But staff, concessions, and film selections are all solid.

For a small theatre its an awesome place! Had gone to see a very old film, The Last Unicorn, and was surprised to find such a gem. If you like older theatres that have that nostalgicl feel to them, go. Youll enjoy the experience. Exceptionally nice and warm staff

Old theater, old seats, but great movies. The popcorn is yummy and most of the guest are truly movie lovers and respect the no cell phone during movies rule. I’ve been to this theatre half a dozen times and have only had issues with one kid and his cell phone. Sadly management wouldn’t say something so we had to.

One of my favorite places on Earth. Ive had so much joy here.

For what seems to be a fairly small theater, it sits a LOT of people. The chairs are fairly comfortable and the sound system and projector are adequate. The concession stand is pretty efficient, which is refreshing, as most movie theaters are incredibly slow to process customers.The only negative is that the aisles have no lighting whatsoever, so if you want to leave during the credits, do so at your own peril.

The theater itself (seats, screen etc) is pretty basic but the movies available here are excellent if you like high quality but a bit off the beaten track. Theyre not art house weird stuff that almost nobody really likes. Theyre good films that are usually just looking to establish wider distribution.

Been seeing movies, flicks and films here for 30 something years and always enjoy myself. Now with more culture! Whats not to love?!

One of many reasons to live in Seattle, SIFF and its associated theatres provide welcome respite from the usual suspects when it comes to film. SIFF Cinema Uptown is a cozy place to catch a great movie at a reasonable price. The staff are helpful and informative and the popcorn is good too!

Seattles version of the Laemelle. They have free parking at 2 nearby lots. Wish Id known that before paying 18 dollars for 3 hours. Comfortable seats. Saw Tigers Are Not Afraid. If I lived here Id join theyd membership.

I got to see the Foosballer movie there..old school cinema really rustic

Seeing Jakob Dylan and Co two nights in a row at the Uptown was a one of a kind event. Thanks for the moment. Great film too. Inspiring. That echo in the canyons of life.

A great cinema house to see films. I saw, the David Crosby doc, Once upon a time in hollywood and the Roy Cohn doc. The popcorn is always good and the staff is super friendly. I would recommend you see a film here sometime.

Is place is extremely art deco this place was very retro fit I felt had a cool old vibe to it people were nice decent grub an I dont remember the movie to be honest but I enjoyed myself very much

Support your local SIFF cinema, go see a movie there once in a while. Theyve got good booze!

Great movie theater experience! The seating is quite comfortable and the concessions are fantastic. These people are serious about showing important films. You wont be disapppinted if you choose to make this place your prime movie seeing destination.

Love this place. So friendly and they have a great selection of movies. I went there to see Boy Erased and had an awesome experience. It was clean, personable, and very obviously not a huge chain, which I appreciated! Such a cute local theater. Definitely a must if youre looking to see a movie in Queen Anne.

Cozy neighborhood theater. Comfortable seats. Paid parking across the street.

This is a year-round theater associated with the Seattle International Film Festival. Its the old Uptown Cinema and it preserves a long-time Seattle theater, a good thing in itself. This isnt the fancy suburban theater with plush seats, etc. -- the seats are pretty basic but comfortable. There are three screens, a larger screen and then two smaller screens. They are all OK. The concessions, on the other hand, are more upscale, with a lot of choices and beer and wine served. If you are already a member of SIFF, you can use the punchcard that came with your membership to get free popcorn. The theater screens a lot of indie and foreign films and its at the lower end of Queen Anne Hill, which means there are a lot of drink and dining choices close by -- including a Dicks with indoor seating directly across the street. Along with the Uptown, SIFF also has its film center at Seattle Center and runs the Egyptian Theater on Capitol Hill -- so SIFF really is a year-round celebration of film. If youre attending a weeknight or weekend screening, SIFF has two parking lots with free parking -- just ask for a permit at the box office.

Close and convenient, interesting shows, bathrooms clean, popcorn not always fresh.

SIFF is always a good venue to see popularfilms. All their theaters are well run, clean, organized and have better pricing than the bigCorporate theaters.

Super friendly staff, great location, awesome selection of movies at all times! Love Siff Uptown!

Love the Uptown! A preserved Landmark theater. Need I say more. Thank you SIFF for saving my favorite theater of all time

A wonderful place to go see a movie and be seen

One of the older theatres. Showing first rate movies

Simply theatre located in lower Queen Anne that was showing Boy Erased. Ticket price was reasonable (obvi wouldnt be mad for cheaper) and theatre was nice and comfortable. The actual theatre was pretty massive and clean. I very much enjoyed my movie and I will be attending again when another movie is showing that I desire to see.

Go see a movie here. It’s an awesome theater, great prices, and real butter on the popcorn.

Nice old-timey, classic theatre playing welll-cratedcslate of movies.

Clean, safe, and well maintained theater. Big screens with sharp projected images and great sound systems set at appropriate levels. We saw a French film with subtitles and found the text easy to read while maintaining view of the films beautiful cinematography. This probably just me, but Im not a fan of lean back theater seating. If there was some way to lock the seats in place that would really make this venue more enjoyable. We love and support SIFF and hope you will to.

Great art house theater. Its three screens show consistently fine independent films. All three auditoriums are spacious and the seats relatively comfortable. A huge plus -- they offer free parking -- a rarity in densely packed lower Queen Anne.

Smaller cinema. Seats not as comfortable, but acceptable. Matinee tickets were $11.00 to see Parasite.

Lovely ~5 screen cinema mostly focused on art and limited release movies. Theaters are older, but intimate. Good beer and food selection. Plus there are some unique experiences available with SIFF.Parking is around the back alley. Turn right off Queen Anne then right again. Signs are painted on the side of the building. Bus access within 2 blocks via D-line, 1, 2, 8, and 13.

Cute independent cinema. Seats are low (or at least the seat I sat in was low) and its one of the older movie theaters in Seattle.

The Uptown, like the other SIFF Cinema theaters, is a charming place to watch films of all kinds. The options for food, snacks, and drink are also plentiful - yes you can get alcohol here before your show. The staff are always so friendly and helpful. The movies are chosen carefully and with a lot of thought - they show a lot of the timeless films here and its something I really appreciate. Worth getting a membership and supporting all the great things they do here for film and the people who love and appreciate them!

Historic cinema in a trendy neighborhood with a fair selection of movies not available elsewhere. Straddles the border between blockbusters and art house movies. Will frequently host festivals including the granddaddy Seattle International Film Festival, which now owns it, so check frequently to see if something interesting is happening that is not available at the average multiplex. Seating is unusually clean and comfortable for a historic theater.

This place seriously needs an overhaul. Older than the hills. People there are so nice tho.

Great Saturday Morning Cartoons series! We watched Mirai and enjoyed the free donuts and coffee. I loved the previews and discovered that SIFF offers a bunch of indie film showings. Ill be back!

A great place to catch a great movie.

Doesnt frequently show movies that I want to watch, most are independent movies, but to each their own. And in my opinion, the location is very outdated. The chairs are old, rickety, and uncomfortable. However, I do love they sell alcohol, but Im not sure the value is there for the lack of comfort.

Were from out of town, and decided to check out a movie from SIFF. The theater was very well organized for the showing. The staff was friendly. The seats were comfortable, and it was clean inside. It was a good experience. I would definitely see other movies here if I lived in the area.

Great theatre for indie fare. Good concessions, attentive staff.

Great experience. This place has a real homie feel!

Came here to see Capernaum. Good prices. Clean theatre. Great place to see those movies that arent in the normal theaters.

Best place to see short films!

SIFF hosted the Bonebat Comedy Horror Festival last weekend and was a very nice place to spend the day. Bonebat was worth the time and money - a well-curated show was presented!

Went there with my girlfriend to see the premiere of the Tibetan film The Sweet Requiem during SIFF 2019. It was great, nice small homely venue. Oh also got to meet one of the actor Rabyoung Thonden Gyalkhang. He was really cool, very nice person to talk to. Over all great fun experience. Great volunteers

An older nostalgic theatre. Good sound system. Good popcorn. Free parking all weekend and after 6pm Mon to Friday. Great selection of movies. Membership is worth it if you come here.

Great little theater in the heart of Seattle. Everything is great about this venue, except (of course) parking. They actually have a free parking lot dedicated to the Theater, but I couldnt find it, and ended up paying $18 for 2-4 hrs (visited for the Oscar winning Short Films) and very much recommend seeing a movie here, as well as Finding The Free Parking in advance! Lol

Fun experience, great film selection, good concessions and beer! It’s clean, the staff is nice, and it’s run by a good crowd of people as far as I can tell. I hope to be back soon.

Great beer selections and concessions. Seating could be better, but still very manageable.

Nice and big w cheap drinks

Considering the age of the theatre, the seats were surprising comfy. Good place to watch a movie, enjoying SIFF shows there.

Great movies, good staff, same prices of concessions as anywhere else. Down side is parking can be difficult and seats are a bit small but very well positioned where any seat offers a good view

Awesome old school cinema

Clean facilities for a night out watching a flick. Concessions isnt something to brag, but Dicks is just right outside as well as other food venues. Youll find more indie flicks than other theatre chains, so if you are looking for variety (especially during the summer), SIFF is a great place to start :)

Foreign Films at best... they had all the Oscars before the regular theatres got them

Really nice employees and volunteers, great film and really fun atmosphere!

I didnt get the movie I saw (Suspiria) but it is a cool venue. Beer and wine served and its nice there is a theatre playing something different then major Hollywood films

Great actual theater inside, outside was littered with trash, staff seemed unprepared for the number of people on the night I arrived to watch the Mr. Rogers film. Their office seems to be unaware of their own hours of operation, and they dont seem to have an answerable phone God forbid you need to call them. Despite the shortcomings, the actual Inside theater was an enjoyable experience when it got started. Great sound and picture.

I am so happy I watched Border, a Swedish film. I hope they keep their film selection as diverse and global as possible :)

Great Nordic Film Festival

So lucky to have this creative group in the Uptown neighborhood

If you want to see some less-widely distributed films, this is a good choice. Mainstream enough to have amenities, but indie enough for small stuff. An older building but renovated in the last ten years.

Neat theatre, and the pop their own popcorn--how cool is that? Very comfortable seats in the theatre. I wish we lived here so I could see more of the great movies they had coming!

A clean, comfortable neighborhood theater. A treasured community institution.

Great service and awesome selection of movie screenings, including foreign films! No stupid advertisements or previews either!

Concession was great but the seats were a little dated.

Loved A Star Is Born but $14~ for a movie you only will watch once?

Love this place. Intimate setting the NT live films are amazing

Fantastic, small, older 3-screen theater. Sign up for a membership for ticket discounts and a free popcorn card. Vast variety of movies during the SIFF festival in June. (Movies in the summer? Its a Seattle thing.)

One of my favorite theaters. Ive had my films screen on both of the large screens and its always a pleasure. They support local independent cinema and serve beer on tap. 11/10 would screen there again.

Great place to see foreign films and new releases. You can get beer and wine to take into the theatre. The big festival is always fun and they do lots of smaller themed festivals throughout the year.

I love this little theatre. They dont play everything I want to see, but its always a treat to see something here. Good prices on tickets and popcorn!

Saw a great SIFF movie here.fantastic.

Seats are uncomfortable but other then that it was ok!

Had my first visit here last night for a preview screening, was pleasantly surprised. Theatre might not have the bells and whistles of the newer, more modern theatres, but it was clean and the seats were very comfortable and I didnt feel crushed against my neighbor, even though I was in a two seat row against the wall - big points for that. Didnt check out the concessions, but they have alcohol and rumor has it their popcorn is excellent. On my way out I spent a few minutes speaking to the gentleman manning the entry, very friendly and knowledgeable, as the others working appeared to be. Free parking at close lots (see pic)on weekday evenings, and weekends until 2p. Lots of places to catch a bite, and an easy walk to Seattle Center. Definitely a place to come back to.

The reception area was pretty small, but the theaters themselves were nice and roomy. I went to a pretty busy feature, so it probably wasnt as luxurious as it could have been but its a cute theater in a good location.

Amazing selection of films. Note: Disabled seating is at the very top of the theater, so if you or the person you are viewing with is disabled be prepared to be very far away from the screen.

Awesome local movie theater. Its small, so dont expect a huge variety, but has great local appeal. Nice to catch a movie and grab a beer at the concessions stand

Best selection of movies, friendly staff and great and free parking with membership!

Wonderful theatre and SIFF members get freebies. Parking can be difficult on the street if you dont find a spot in their tiny lot.

Wonderful wonderful place and environment

This is the only place outside of Turkey where Ive watched Turkish movies. Who knew!? (KEDi and Blue were both great.) I hope one day I can make time for some of the other movie festivals.

The prices are increasingly outrageous. It now costs $9 (with a membership card). To put that into context, a mere three years ago it cost $5. And those $3.50 online ticket fees that used to be a dollar. The employees there mostly volunteer. Yes they have costs, but they are caving into big tech money and pricing out film lovers without deep pockets. Not sure how they still call themselves a non profit. Too many other good theaters in town Id rather support.

Great theater, beer selection, and staff. SIFF members get a discount. Chincy senior discount ($1.00). Nice wide screens and sound system. Nice Uptown location; almost iconic.

One of my favorite theaters in town

Usually the first place to show the best international movies. Great atmosphere. Finding a parking spot can be nightmare. Use their parking if you cant find an on street parking.

A loving host

The best staff, the best films, a bastion of culture in Seattle. If your not frequenting SIFF, you are probably spending too much money on overpriced Seattle food

Love the film choices. Loads of films that you cant see at the megaplex theaters. The concessions are reasonably priced and the staff is terrific. I knocked off a star because the seats are so uncomfortable.

One of my favourite theatres! Thanks to SIFF for rescuing the Uptown from demolition!! In a city that is cursed with more and more banal architecture every day, we need more touchstones like the Uptown.Featuring independent and international films year round, during May and June it becomes one of the main venues for the Seattle International Film Festival - one of the largest and oldest festivals in the US.Some will complain the seats are not as comfy as modern theatres, but please remember this place is over 50 years old and a non-profit palace for cinema.

Went here for nffty, nice place pretty comfortable chairs, food and stuff

A lovely classic theatre with well behaved clients.
