Dope Theater! Concession prices were surprisingly affordable and what a selection between sodas, snacks, beer and cocktails! Cozy seating and it was great to feel normal in a theater even with CDC Guidelines. Im actually very thankful because people kept their personal space and whispering during the film wasnt a problem.

I always love seeing a film at Sidewalk, but due to Covid, it had been a while. I felt so comfortable being there tonight with the safe distancing protocols in place. Currently, the theater is only being seated at a capacity of 12 out of 100, and with hand sanitizer stations, and customary mask requirements, I was able to enjoy myself with ease. Tonight’s double feature of an RBG documentary paired with the super fun 80’s classic The Legend of Billie Jean was well-timed programming and as always, the hospitality was impeccable. And somehow they have the best movie popcorn I’ve ever eaten—served in sizes and at price points that are shockingly reasonable compared to other theaters—so that sweetens the deal. Highly recommend!

Independent non profit cinema. Love it. Indie films. Full bar. Super clean and affordable. Great place to find that movie you heard about on the internet or NPR. But get there quick because movies only stay about a week or so. Ask for Jerry or John at the bar and youll be well taken care of.

Fantastic new addition to downtown. Really enjoyed our visit to this theater. Everything is super nice, the staff is very friendly, the layout is convenient in the theaters were top notch. I dont even think the big chains can match the quality of sound that we experienced. Screens a little bit smaller than what you would expect in a big theater but its more like a viewing room than a theater. Excellent beer selection and bar, also some snacks available. Really had a great time, you really should go check this place out.

This was the best little cinema. It was SO clean and smaller than a normal giant theater. The sound was also amazing.

This is the best place in Birmingham to see a movie. Excellent picture and sound quality, fantastic seating, a comfortable lounge area, Shining-themed restrooms, a great bar and concession stand, and wonderful staff. This place reignites my love for film.
