I grew up in this town but hadnt visited this theater until today! It has an old movie projector that was installed in 1938 and the theaters are warm n cozy. AND Stormtroopers were there promoting the latest movie? Couldnt ask for more

Great local theater, very clean, friendly staff & very good prices!! Cannot wait for them to reopen!

The ambience the fact that its been there for so long the history. Theres nothing quite like going to an old movie theater. I love looking at the old photographs in the exit. The old Neon an art deco of the building cannot be replaced with the experience. Ive actually experienced new movie theaters trying to do this. Im kind of

This privately owned theater is still so great! I went here a lot as a kid and recently caught a film here for the first time in 6 years. The fims look and sound great. They obviously have invested consciously in their projectors and sound systems. Id expect that seating is the next thing theyll spend their money on. That is as long as movie goers keep wanting to experience that authentic downtown theater experience that made Hollywood what it is in the first place.

An awesome local theatre with reasonable ticket prices

First time at this theater, and my 4 year old sons first time at a movie theater. We saw Frozen 2. We absolutely loved it! The picture was great, seats were decent yet cushiony. I love old theaters! They maintained this one well. Not to mention the prices. We went to a matinee, and with concessions, we didnt even break the bank! We will definitely be back!

Great Sunday prices. $11 for 2. Popcorn and pop reasonable also. But like all theatres they want to make you deaf. WHY so damn loud???? This is why I dont go but once every 2 years.

The staff is always really friendly and the prices are good! $5 movies on Tuesdays are a good value. We will continue to patronize this theater! Theater is always well-kept and clean.

Ive been going here for years. Its perfectly located downtown in Barberton and the prices are good. Typically there isnt a wait on tickets or food.

Nice theater. Prices better than the big chains. Comfortable, good sound systems, fair prices on the movie essentials, popcorn and pop. Our favorite theater.

Went to see Richard Jewel i didnt really want to see it but my husband did so i went. Movie was very enlightening. Love the theater but its not what i remember from growing up in Barberton

Love this place! Took my family and everyone enjoyed their time.

I use to come here religiously in the mid 90s when I lived in the area. I recently moved back to the area and started coming back last summer when Jurassic World and Solo came out. Tuesday early afternoon is the best time to go see a movie. The last few times I had the movie room to myself. Very clean theater. Elevator is kind of weird though.

I really like Lake 8 cinemas, and still choose them over some of the bigger theaters around. Whether you went here as a kid or just started as an adult, it has an old time feel that I still enjoy (though not over the top). It has good selection of all the new movies that are out, and all the usual concessions.

Lake 8 has always been a reliable, nice place to go for some entertainment. Ive loved it since I was a kid and always enjoy it.

Not bad.

Great theater...prices and good food selection. Great for everyone. Easy parking. Very Nostalgic.

Decent movie theater. Much cheaper concessions than most!

Affordable theater with a great 20th century vibe. Excellent snack selection as well.

The price for tickets is great $5.50 for seniors. Their popcorn was priced well below Regal Cinema and you dont have to choose you seat before you go in the theater.

Love taking my kids to see movies. Wish it was stadium seating, but I also like the old-school style this theater offers as well as the area around it.

Sorry to say after years of good experiences I had an awful one. People behind us refusing to stop talking and the manager asked them to leave but the refused so we were the ones that had to go. Absolutely ridiculous. While she says I believe you but I didnt see it them swearing at us after being asked to please not speak by both us and the manager.

Great Movie theater always clean and maintain great seats. Also really enjoyed the Star Wars character they had at the movie theater.

Love this place. Ive been going here since I was a kid. Movies are cheap, concession is awesome, and its always clean and up to date. They even have an elevator to get upstairs.

We had a great time watching Bad Boys for Life tonight!! Loved it

Nice theater. Clean, concession isnt too bad, ticket prices are the cheapest around and show new movies as well. Tuesdays are even cheaper. Highly recommend over other nearby theaters especially if you are on a tight budget.

Great prices and friendly staff. Seats could be a little more comfortable, with larger space between rows, but we will definitely come again!

Amazing place for familys and always so clean with such a friendly staff.

Whats not to say about an older movie theater thats been renovated for the comfort of their customers. They have a counter full of movie goodies, like candy, popcorn, and soda! Plus theres $5 Tuesdays and thats always a great thing for families! Its comfortable to watch movies plus they even offer movies in 3D, which is always a fun time, and it even has an arcade area. Extra bonus, I live in town so I love to support my local community, and this is where my family and I go to watch any movies when theyre in Theater!

Always showing great movies at a reasonable price. The popcorn and other foods are not as steeply priced as they are at other theaters. The theater is set on a street downtown where the people gather at restaurants and cafes and various shops. The affordability of this theater is what keeps me coming back, we always check new movies here first. Staff is very quick and helpful as well.

Been coming here since I was just a child. Many fond memories of seeing the newest movies with my family or friends. I remember being a teenager and buying tickets to see rated pg movies and then sneaking to watch the rated r movies. Only downfall is that its cheaper these days to stay home, turn on Netflix and but a bunch of snacks from the dollar store. Still cool to come every once in a while and the real d 3d is interesting for some movies. Always good service.

Small cozy movie theatre, close parking, good prices.

Weve Loved Lake Cinema our whole lives, weve been going ever since we were kids. Now we take our kids at least once a month.

I actually enjoy going to this theater. There are only two main huge screens but the pricing is much more affordable and they have junior pricing for ages 12-16. Bathrooms are always clean. Staff is younger but professional and the concessions are nicely priced.

Great theater. Good prices for tickets and concessions. Never too crowded.

Ticket price was only $5.50 for senior fare for midday showing. Theater was empty except for us watching Star Wars the Rise of Skywalker, our own private showing. Service and popcorn were excellent

Beautiful decorations and very nice staff. It is never too busy and is in a nice location with plenty of room to park.

Nice place. Retro feel. Old film equipment on display. sound system was great.

Very nice staff!! When you come here order a combo meal!! Sit at the to see all the movie.

Clean, warm environment. Reasonable prices and nice quality building. My go to for movies in the area.

They have great deals on certain days of the week and the quailty of the movies are fantastic.

$5 Tuesday, always a great deal, first run movies.

My family and I go here all of the time and have never had a complaint about any of the employees or the theatre until yesterday October 19th during the 5:00 showing of The Addams Family. For the entire movie not only did my family but other families were getting upset at a family of 6 or 7 (grandma, mom, dad, children), everyone of them was loud when they talked which was non stop and then non of them stayed sitting down (grandma and kids sat towards the front and the parents sat in the very back of the theatre) specially the children and they didnt ever just walk but they had to run back and forth from their seats to their parents. After awhile of the disruption I finally went out and asked an employee named Hailey if someone could please ask this family to stop their behavior specially the children, Hailey laughed and said they were aware of the family and what they were doing and that it would be handled. I returned to my seat and never did anyone not even Hailey come into the theatre room and talk with any of the family. On my way out after the show ended I stopped and told Hailey thank you for handling the situation and all I got in return from her was laughing in my face! I will not allow Hailey to keep me from returning because of one bad experience with an employee who didnt want to do their job instead wanted to laugh in my face! I hope in returning to see another movie I hope to never be treated like this again and if there is a problem it will be handled!

I love $5 Tuesdays. Great seats.

Star WarsWell worth the inexpensive admission

Close to home & theater #1 Was very nice

Everyone who works there was very professional, and very nice! Great place to go!

Great local theater with very good facilities all around

The staff is excellent. Very clean and maintained well. Our first choice for seeing movies. Prices for refreshments are much more reasonable than the big chains.

Very affordable ticket prices, very affordable concessions! Theaters are clean and the staff are friendly. They always have a great mix of movie genres as well.

Love the atmosphere and prices were good too. Great popcorn, and kid friendly. Staff was very nice too. We will frequent here.

Enjoyed seeing The Lion King yesterday with my daughter!! So fun..

Took grandkids to see Star Wars after lunch at Belgrade Happy Martin Luther King day!

I love this place the prices are dirt cheap compared to the other cinemas in Akron, i use to come here often as a kid and loved it. Hasnt changed much and i will stop in again over and over until im a elderly man!!!

Theres nothing really wrong with it, but theres nothing great about it to give it the 5 star rating in my opinion

Clean, reasonably priced tickets and food. Seating a little weird that slants back toward rear vs stadium seating. But good picture and sound. Would come back again.

Saw a movie with my son for a school function. The staff was friendly and very polite. Theatre was clean, and the seats are comfy! Will definitely be going again.

It was great all in all and i understand that places like that are cold but it was extremely cold in there and that was uncalled for

Great theater. Great prices. Easy free parking. Can get beverages from Kave coffee shop to enjoy with movies.

We had fun, very clean and affordable

Great theater. Reasonable ticket prices and nice concessions. Loyalty card available. New screens and sound. Not stadium seating, but that doesnt matter to us. We love going to Lake 8!

MaCayla provided me with AWESOME service. Great establishment

Okay place for movies didnt like the seating arrangements not so good when you have a larger group thst needs to stay together

Prices are so much better. Love how close parking is. Nice theater

Nice to see a movie good people

Small town theater with a homey vibe.

Loved it,Even the Big Popcorn and Soda was at a good price###

Theater of my childhood and thankfully still open for business. Staff are friendly and prices are very affordable. No complaints to speak of with the theater. Would recommend to others.

Always clean! Great selection of movies and popcorn refills on large bucket only $1. They do charge 25 cents if you want a cup for water.

Great price and place to see a movie

Still has the old school movie theater!! Its like stepping back in time.

A historic theatre of great importance and community value. Ticket prices are, on average, lower than Regal or Cinemark. Theatre 1 is a large, grand room with lots of comfortable seating. The remainder are smaller, though no less enjoyable. Refreshments could be considered expensive (as theatre food tends to be). Parking on the street, across the street and the rear lot mean you’re always able to find a decent spot. Overall, clean and well kept, bathrooms are up-to-date and nicely maintained. Unsure if there is an elevator, but there are two huge staircases to get to the second story.

Absolutely love this theater! Prices are reasonable & the staff are always nice!!!

Staff super nice. Love their Tuesday prices. Best part, is their food and drinks are so reasonable and their combo prices awesome. Will be going there regularly with family and friends!

Good prices, great experience all the way around..

Could not be more mediocre, however the reality is the purpose is to see a movie and the screens and sound is good.

Very reasonably priced movie theater snacks are also not a rip off. The theater seating could use an upgrade.

This place is iconic. Nice selection of movies and low prices.

Friendly staff, clean theater, reasonable pricing, large screen. Great experience.

Older theater and well kept... Great sound and picture quality... I enjoy going there...

I really like this movie theater. Its a little older, but the prices are good and its never very crowded. My wife and I usually hit the Mexican place down the street, then walk over to catch a movie. I brought my daughter and her friends for Lego Batman; it was in the main theater, which has decent seats and a good picture.Make sure you check out the old school projector in the lobby, between the ticket booth and the food stand. Wicked cool!

Pretty much the go-to theater for new releases if you want to see the movie without the wait.

Great old theater. Not overly priced.

One of our favorite places to see a movie! Always clean. Popcorn is awesome!

Awesome theater! Old school seating, great prices on snacks. Small friendly atmosphere. Prices for movies was best in area.

Clean! Cleanest public restrooms I have seen!

Nice little theater. Its older, but they keep it up well. Concessions are reasonably priced compared to some of the chain theaters

Great place to see a movie. And good pretzels too.

I really like this place after they invested so much money into the building.You first walk in and from the outside it has a old feeling. That is nothing more than a facade. When you get in, pay by credit card or cash. Fandango is not yet.Modern day snack area, the projectors are state of the art Sony 4k.Bathrooms are clean.The last time I was there, the theater was not cleaned before the next movie. So we had to sit in dropped popcorn, buckets, and drink cups. This has only happened this one time of the 100s Ive been here.

Great Quality. Amazing place. Good food.

Clean curtious staff and good selection of movies

Loved this theater since I was a kid. Great sight lines.

The best movie place ever! staff is always friendly ...popcorn is always fresh ....place is always clean ...they have $5 movie night on Tuesdays ...its a great location right outside the door is a coffee shop a Mexican restaurant youre one block away from beautiful Lake Anna for a walk after or before the movie

Great place to take children of all ages. Vary cheap prices for concession snacks

Lines arent that long. The staff are really nice and the theaters are quite clean.

A beautiful gem in the magic city. Old school theatre with lots of character. Has multiple screens on two floors. The place is big! Lots of seating and angles and wheel chair accessible seeting as well. Buy your tickets online and skip that line :) Its on the strip in downtown Barberton which is a beautiful place to be any time of year. If you love movies and theatre experience, you have to come to lake 8!

New movies cheap price!

Affordable community oriented theater. They also have a nice reward program.

Fantastic prices on both tickets and concessions.

Hustler was pretty good with Jennifer Lopez.
