--Awesome locally owned cinema!--Screens commercial favorites, indies , documentaries and older classics--Frequent themed screenings (Holiday Movies in December, Halloween Movies in October)--Serves (some local) beer, wine and sodas and fresh popcorn--Partners with local restaurant to serve food to your seats--Offers gift cards--COVID compliant: mask wearing, socially distanced seating, frequent wipe downs of theaters

Has new films (such as Rogue One) as well as some dates for old films (such as the anniversary showing of The King and I) as well as specials like the Metropolitan Opera. My only complaint is the sound volume (I bring earplugs) but all theaters seem to be kind these days.

The Visulite is a charming and unique venue with old-fashioned architectural character! The staff is friendly and professional. The theater is always clean and the seats are very comfortable. The downtown restaurants are a perfect pairing for a night out! The Visulite is our familys favorite theater, hands down. Perfect for date night or family fun.

Wonderful staff. Good healthy choices for refreshments along with the usualMovie fare. Wonderful choices of films. I love the film series and look forward to its return. Same with the opera. Who else in a town of 25,000 has livestream opera??? We are so fortunate to have such a great theatre in our wonderful small city.

We just live the Visualize. The Met in HD is our favorite but the Monday night art series is First Rate. Popcorn and local draft beers are a big bonus. Love the atmosphere at the theatre and always see people from town we know there. It is one of the centers of community life!

Love the Visulite! My favorite theater, hands down. Theres no place Id rather watch a movie. Amazing, friendly staff. Delicious popcorn and snacks. And ... beer!. One of my favorite places in downtown Staunton!

When you look online all you see are the nice lay z boy seats however this is NOT for all films and isnt disclosed when you purchase tickets online which is the main reason we chose to see a movie here.....nice to have beer served and get to order local food but just really bummed about the seats.Update: Thank you for the update on checking the theater first thats a great idea. My wife was still super excited to eat Mexican food, drink beer, and watch hocus pocus so it still made for a great date night.

The range of theater settings allows for screening both blockbuster and more experimental films. The art film series has been especially enjoyable. The refreshment offerings is unusually varied and well selected.

The Visulite Cinema is a delight A small town intimate theater in anauthentic historic downtown setting. Offers first releases and most important to us, before the virus, a weekly independent film series. Great entertainment, quality snacks and a meeting place in Staunton.

Great beer, wine and food but love the popcorn with real butter! Very friendly staff! And comfy seats! Always a great time.

Have seen more wonderful movies since the plague than I have in years. They have got the whole social distancing thing perfect. Thank you

One of the reasons that Staunton is a fabulous small town. The Visulite brings both top-rated arthouse films and feature blockbusters to an appreciative audience. It also hosts a popular weekly art film series with a host and follow-up discussion. Great food, beer & wine, real popcorn with real butter. Cant beat it!

Intimate theater with nice people, comfortable seating. And its right downtown, so you can grab a bite to eat before or after the movie. A real asset to downtown Staunton!

This theater is one of the whole area’s center of community. The films have been selected with care and the Monday Night Series is especially well selected. I do so miss our Monday’s at the movies! The Visulite also has THE best popcorn and food.

Our favorite movie theater in the area! Very cozy and comfortable. Looking forward to the Art Movies Series come back!

Great films, comfortable theaters, good quality snacks and drinks available. Loved the Monday evening subscription series!

Great local movie theater that works hard to appeal to a wide variety of audiences: art films, popular movies, opera series, etc.

A true gem in downtown Staunton. We have enjoyed many independent film productions and simulcasts of Saturday Met Operas.

Im a big fan of the Visulite, a theater with great films, fantastic seating, and super friendly staff. Highly recommended!

We love the Visulite both for regular movies and also their fantastic Art Series on Monday evenings!

The Visualite is our small-town cinema, but brings us big town selection in the movies they offer. We are so fortunate to have them in Staunton!!

Very clean. Polite staff. Popcorn is delicious! Seats are very comfortable.

I have been attending the Visulite since it opened. Many of us here in Staunton were happy to finally have a neighborhood theater, and owner Adam Greenbaum quickly built a loyal following. I belong to the movie club that meets on Monday nights to a full house where innovative films are shown and discussed. Staunton is fortunate that Adam got off a train in Staunton and brought us this gem of a theater.

A true throw back to the old time movie theaters. The popcorn is freshly popped & buttery. Adult beverages ARE available and I particularly like the ability to order tickets BEFORE I got there.The staff was friendly & accommodating. Although the building was a little old, i still enjoyed the movie!

The Visualite is a treasure in the small city of Staunton. We regularly drive 37 miles from Lexington to Staunton so that we can see excellent art movies that never make it to Lexington. Sound and projection quality are first rate and the atmosphere is so friendly. Not to mention the follow-up gelato at the Split Banana (around the corner) after the movie--the combination makes a great date night. We love the Visualite!

This is a smaller, more intimate place to see movies. It has history, its local, and the people who work there are fantastic. You can go see a movie at a place where youre moved through like a herd of cattle, or you can go to a place where you feel welcomed.

Lovely theater experience run by such kind and caring individuals!

Wonderful staff, great movies and really tuned into the community!

The Visulite is a Staunton gem. Great film options for film aficionados and for families.

Wonderful experiences every visit. Monday night special showings cant be beat

Friendly staff, comfortable seats, this is our favorite movie theater!

Wine and a movie in super comfortable seats!

Prices about as I expected. Staff very friendly. Cozy kind of old style movie house but well kept. Nothing fancy. Good seating. Parking is difficult but expected in older small town setting. Id go back. Overall enjoyable experience.

It is always an enjoyable experience taking in a movie at the Visulite!

Sat in theater #3. Comfortable, plush seating with wonderful sound system and screen. Reasonable rates. Parking nearby. Just love this little neighborhood theater. Highly recommended.

Unique offerings. Lovely folks.

The staff is awesome and so is the popcorn!

Always love a visit to visulite. Got great food delivered to our seats and only $20 for two adults to see Frozen on a Friday night. Great value and always good to support local business.

Great locally owner movie house

Friendly comfortable boutique type theatre that offers Live from The Met (Fathom events). Also has a special Monday night screening of important movies with an introduction and follow up discussion. Ideal theatre for a wonderful community like Staunton

Food supper yummy and the chairs are so comfortable i almost fell asleep

My favorite theater since childhood!

Decent prices. Good picture and sound. Staff very friendly. Not bad for an old historic downtown theater.

Beer, wine, soda and hot tea beverage options. Nice variety of menu options available. We like the downtown location of this unique theater.

Small theater, parking can be a problem if its not the weekend. Building seems like it has seen some wear,but still sturdy. Seats are the most comfortable Ive sat in at a theater.

Best small town theater. Devils Backbone beer is a great plus too .

Love going here for movies. A small staple in downtown Staunton, there are only three theaters inside. They may not get every movie that comes out but they will get the hits and also some cool, more niche films so there is always something interesting on rotation.

This was my first time there. The theater was clean, seats are very comfortable with built in lumbar supports and if you are in the mood, they serve alcohol. The young lady behind the counter was friendly and helpful. We will go back again.

Nothing beats this classic small-town movie theater vibe. My wife and I go on a date here at least every couple months, and we adore the place. The service is extremely pleasant, and it has a wonderful ambiance. We dont drink alcohol, but they have beer and wine, which is pretty unique! Popcorn is very tasty! You wont regret going to this place!

Great local theater! The family loves going and enjoys the ambiance. The seats are stadium style and very comfy. It is a smaller theater, but the service is wonderful and we love going here.

This is a small historic theater that has been divided into 3 theaters. Staff is great, and we always enjoy our time here. Much better than the megaplexs.

Love the prices, the friendly staff and seats are nice and comfortable!

Love having this little theater downtown. They have a larger theater space with stadium seating but also the cutest little theater with big leather chairs. Great buttered popcorn! Downside to a smaller theater is also a smaller movie selection at any given time/week.

Great theater.

The seats were nice. It smelled a bit funky in there (I have a bit of a sensitive sniffer though) but I liked the whole experience. I really appreciate that it was not another Regal Cinemas or AMC.

Awesome downtown theatre.. Close to home.. Good prices, and good staff. My theatre choice.

Staff is always great. I love theater 3. Try the cheese sticks and some wine!

Smaller theater with BIG movies and exceptionally friendly folks. Carter was wonderful!

Great prices!!

Cinema is really dated and lacks any charm. Average prices. Spend an extra $1.25 and go to a more modern theater with easier parking.

Locally owned, friendly staff. It will be a must stop whenever we can stop by in our way thru!

Comfy seats. Laid back atmosphere. Serves cold sodas, hot popcorn, sweet snacks and tastey brews/wine.

Loved it! Very nice employees. Good prices. Clean lobby amd theater.

One of the best places in Virginia to see a movie! Good snacks, cozy, and nice location

Good theater but will say, first time I saw a movie in an theater without buttered popcorn. Arriving only a few minutes before movie started, concession was empty.

Went and saw detective pikachu. Was well worth it. Tickets were pricey but unlike other theaters you actually get to pick your seats before you actually go into the theater.

Very charming. Worth the drive from Waynesboro. Good prices, good beer, friendly service.

Really adorable little theater.

Fun movie theater. Loved the old school feel!

Great theatre!!

Very friendly Staff. Good Cinema

Small but comfy! Great sound and seats. Fairly decent concessions. Bathrooms could use an update. Friendly people at the counter!

Excellent venue, price, and service!

I love this little theatre. Its prefect for this small town. There is only two screens so movies turn over quickly. They offer come products, popcorn, and candy. Also offer bar options with wine and beer on tap. Have been to several times and has always been very clean and well taken care of. The service is always friendly and helpful!

Small and quaint but delicious popcorn and prices r decent. They manage to have the same New Movies as big theaters, in fact for my school event they had one a whole night early.

Love walking to my local theater to see great new movies. Great people too!!

Fast service, I can enjoy an adult beverage with my movie, and its rarely crowded.

Hometown style theatre. Who could ask for mpre

A really neat little movie house that has 3 medium sized screens. Nice comfortable seats. Prices are what youd expect, $10 for adults, and $15+ for popcorn and a drink.

Enjoyed The Meg with Movie Pass. Nice little, old fashioned theatre. Polite people at the counters. Will come again.

Skywalker was spectacular!

Visulite is very comfortable. Especially little theatre 3! I miss when they showed more independent films.

Been coming here for 50 years. Love it!

This is a very small local theater in the heart of downtown. Give yourself enough time to figure out your parking situation, as there is no private lot. They show select current films, both blockbuster and independent, and often have current movies not found in nearby chain theaters. They run older movies occasionally. The ticket counter, restrooms, and hallways have a certain vintage charm, but you only spend 3% of your visit here and it doesnt matter. The theaters are clean and have p/leather seating that is modern, roomy, and incredibly comfortable. Also, props to the ticket pricing for not being in that weekly grocery budget and modest mortgage range.

Love the small size and location downtown!

Shows interesting films, seats uncomfortable

Great place to see a movie

Small but quaint, love going there.

My favorite place to enjoy movies locally

Awesome little mom & pop kind of place. The few times that I have been it is never noisy or crowded. Most times I would have the entire theater to myself, which I prefer.

Love the seating (so comfortable), the food (from local producers!) and the people (super friendly staff). Give this place a try. Great space with a retro feel but with modern accouterments.

Great local theater. Our preferred.

Friendly staff and great food options. The renovated theaters are very nice and comfortable.

Good movies. A little expensive. Good experience. Comfy seats.

Rented this place to get married in. Locally owned. Reserved presale tickets! Awesome! Nice seats and bright digital projectors.

Great movie theater.

Was ok. Think having more than one person behind the counter would be nice and bathroom not in very good location .Movie and sound was decent. Just a dated theater

Good small town movie theater. It only has 3 movie screens but the seating is great and its downtown location gives it a classic feel that the huge movie complexes just dont have..

Very helpful and helped with my two disabled people in my party.

I have been coming to the Visulite since it first opened. Adam Greenbaum the owner cares about the customers and does anything for them. The Visulite gives you a great theater experience with comfy seats and great sound. After putting in a second screen in made it even more better. And now serves alcohol which makes the movies better. I recomend this theater. And now the theater is going into its second remodel adding yes a third screen Adam is adding new for the better changes and its getting better
