Theater is well run and well-maintained. Bathrooms were immaculate (which isnt something I can say about most movie theaters, hah). Plastic cups by the water fountain is a really nice touch for customers who dont want to buy a soft drink. Definitely will be back again!

Its a superbly cute little cinema, very nicely maintained, comfy seats and lots of old charm. Love it!

No accommodations or empathy for mobility-impaired patrons. The cinema kindly sold us tickets, including my mother with her walker, but failed to mention our movie of choice was upstairs, with no elevator or stair-lift. The manager defended the situation by saying it is clearly stated on their website. that they have an upstairs screen, with no access beyond very steep stairs. The website does not mention this in an obvious place. I cant tolerate merchants who depend on their in town status to treat customers poorly.

Nice to have a small local theatre that employs young people and shows good films.

Nice theater. The young staff competent and likable. Place seems genuinely well-run.

Very good price/performance. These kind of cinemas are few and far between. Oh, the popcorn aint bad either.

Nice small theater, note upstairs is a smaller screen, and seats are on the rigid feel, not too plushy, but not bad for a small town cinema.

Standard old time small town theater. 2 screens, downstairs screen is bigger and better. Usual popcorn and candy. Sometimes a good place to catch a film thats been out a while that you missed seeing.

Weve been going to the Venue (former Flix) for the last 17 years. We love how small and comfortable it is. Strange to say, but the people who work there are incredibly personal. We, too, like the old-timey feel of the place.

Lexington Venue is a wonderful small movie theater.

Adorable place. Clean. Great pictures

Screens are small but its a nice hometown theater experience

Cozy 50s theater. Good popcorn.

Nice old style movie theater. Havent seen one like this in years. Decided to see a movie there for the experience and my wife and I enjoyed it. The movie theater was pretty busy. The staff was very friendly. Would definitely recommend trying if you are in Lexington.

Popular movies and great popcorn...

Never knew it was there. A great little place. Comfortable.

Always solid menu & execution. New dish introduction would improve experience but probably means we go here too often.

Cool little theater! Prices werent to bad on the snacks and the seating was comfortable.

Quaint little theater with all the modern conveniences. Felt more like going to the movies than walking than walking into a huge complex in a mall or something. Enjoyed it.

Classic old-time movie theatre. The sound system was great! Not too loud like other theatres.

A funky little theatre in Lexington center--the kind of homey theater you dont find much anymore.Screens are modest sized and seats are old school. But its nice to visit a theater where the next time you go they will remember you And the hassle factor is low.

This is my favorite movie theater in the area! Its never crowded. Its well kept. The people at the ticket counter are super sweet. And its just a cute little movie theater to go to and escape the busy world for a bit.

Enjoy food and hot & cold drinks in the lobby. Then attend an excellent film in this well updated vintage cinema.

Wonderful, friendly local theater. Popcorn is great and refillable. Prices right. Movies always well-reviewed... no bad movies allowed. Audience tends to be mature and so few distractions. This is important to me. Manager/owner always on site to guarantee a positive experience. Best place I know in the region.

My favorite part of coming here is that Im often in the theater all alone and can walk around while watching the film.

Loved it! It was so cozy. Its an old fashioned movie theater. Brought me back in time.

Great movie theater

Nice old school feel, perfect spot to catch up on movies you may have missed the first time around, and the popcorn is delish.

Awesome, traditional movie house. Sure the screens arent huge like the chain megaplexes, but theres something unique and special about it, and if youre tired of the big budget tripe they show elsewhere, you just might see something you like here. The whole place, including the restrooms, is immaculate, and the popcorn is pretty good too!

One of the true hidden treasures of Massachusetts.

Friendly staff, fun Frank Sinatra music playing in the theater prior to the trailers, nice art house selection of movies, and festive decor in the main lobby. A great first experience that may bring me back for a second day in a row!

Lexington Venue is all you would want from a movie theater in a town downtown. We went on a blistering hot day, they seemed a bit overwhelmed with the crowd and experienced some technical difficulties with the AC. Our movie started about 10 minutes late but they were informative and apologetic and I thought the temp in our theater was perfect and the volume well modulated (why are theaters so loud these days?). The bathroom was immaculate. I dont eat theater food, cant comment on that besides to say it seemed to be available. Anyway, the theater was chopped into smaller theaters up but not too bad by todays standards. Seats comfy. Floor clean, which is unusual.

Venue recently upgraded to the new digital projection system, which not only improved the picture quality but the audio as well. Its so surround I thought someone was standing behind me speaking [I was in the last row, upstairs]. And the popcorn is excellent. Always freshly popped, unlike some chain theaters where its popped somewhere else and kept in the back room in big plastic bags.

Always shows great movies but when we arrived today the AC was not working and the signs for the movies were wrong and I had to request the young people to correct. The manager came and apologized about the inconvenience staying that the AC was to be replaced ( why not close the theatre and fix the problem?? ).

Comfortable and friendly setting for great movies that are an alternative to the megaplex boredom. Good restaurant choices nearby as well. Great!

I feel like its too small, but its okay.

Small (8 rows) and the screen is only slightly larger than a large tv but stadium sitting. And no reserve sitting, which we like as we could pick our seats and move when we did not like people chatting loudly next to us.

Theater is on the smaller side. It doesnt have all the nice benefits of the bigger theaters that most of us are accustomed to. There is a smaller selection of movies playing. Seats are plastic and quite small, so it will become uncomfortable if you are on the bigger or taller side.

I like this little theater, a lot. I prefer the small independent theaters that show movies I want to see, works of art on film, or thoughtful comedies, which are getting harder to see even closer in to Boston. The popcorn is freshly popped; I wish they had butter, too, but oh well. A wider, less sweet drink selection would also please me, but Im just happy they are there.

Excellent venue

Small and quiet. Occasional mice.

Wonderful local theater, but lousy popcorn. There is no butter available for popcorn - onlyspray butter that you can spritz on. I love the buttered popcorn at the smallmovie theaters in Arlington, Belmont and Newton and wish the Lexington Venuewould follow suit.

So you live in Lexington, right? Isnt that just great. Its for the schools and you can walk to the films. Wonderful! And go to Rancs after the movie and hang with all the other kids from Lexington. Great! So privileged! So entitled!The movies? Great. Saves me from having to drive to Coolidge Corner.

Great local movie theater!Weve been going to this movie theater for years and it’s wonderful. Reasonably priced too. Parking is only for 2 hours behind the theater so we park across the street in the muni lot for $3 for 12 hours.The theater is quaint with fresh popcorn, good concessions and friendly staff. Its super clean and all the rooms have comfortable seating. Two movies are shown at a time from early afternoons to evenings. Never big crowds and they show movies that you cant see elsewhere.

Unhappy today.We had planned to see the 3:30 showing of The Big Short today....but it got pulled.I wish you would state ahead of time on what date you plan to pull a film!Nevertheless, we really enjoy the Venue for viewing films.

Love this theater that has movies for grown-ups. Most of the patrons are my age (no longer young), and two weeks ago at Gone Girl, a talky movie, the sound was so low that even my keen-eared husband had difficulty. Please turn up the sound!

This great little theater shows all the movies you cant always find at other venues. Thanks for that. But the popcorn needs work. Like swallowing sea water - leaves your lips all puckered from the salt.

Its a nice little movie theater. Great source of eclectic films.

Great little local theater.You get what you pay for, so dont expect a modern theater with large recliner seats or an IMAX-quality screen.Especially worth it when youre a kid and your friend who works there opens the back door for you.

Well kept town theater

Great small olde timely theater showing more artsy films.

A great local movie theater.

Great art movie choices; interior seats upgraded.

Nice cozy and convenient for people who live nearby.

Small, clean theater. Can hear the other movie upstairs from the first floor cinema.

Good for a small theater. Its really nice if you just want to relax, and not deal with a crowded theater full of jerks.

I like it here. Small theaters, but good local theater.

Fabulous local theatrr. Always has good family films. Cant be beat!

In town Indy theater. Good mix of movies.

Great small theater where you can find the best independent or eccentric films. Friendly staff is made up mostly of local high school students in need of after school jobs. Popcorn is never stale and theres a good selection of other concessions.

Great little venue ... I forgot how hard the old seats are. We need places like this to see controversial films.

Local, clean, modest like watching the big screen in the next room. Keep it going

It is walkable from my house. That makes up for a lot....but even if I drove, I would like the place. I like the small scale, not fancy, not perfect but just fine...not accessible to wheelchairs (upstairs) but the larger theatres sure are, and downstairs is accessible.I want it to continue and will choose it again and again for the film selection and the small town location....and the walk to ice cream (Rancatores) after the show.

Good popcorn. Good movies.

My high school decided to host a film festival at the Venue and the schools film club organized the entire event by themselves, including the ticket sales, the advertisements, and other logistics. Film club members had to personally donate a large sum to make the even happen. However, upon attending the actual film festival, every single member in the club was forced by the Venue owner, Peter Siy, to pay full price for admission. How could he make high school students who organized the whole thing pay for their own admission to their own event, and pocket all the profits himself? Needless to say, the Venue deserves NEGATIVE stars for their attitude and treatment of its local customers. I do NOT recommend supporting this kind of cheap, un-professional business.

The projection/sound system had problems throughout the show. No apology, no refund. This negates the convenience.

Excellent small cinema.

Nice small town theater that shows only the best movies 2 at a time. Friendly staff.

Quaint old theatre

Nice, very friendly, small, uncrowded, New England theatre. Just sayin...

Great popcorn and awesome for a local town theatre

I like here

Seats are more cramped than an airplane. Screen is the size of my TV. Costs more than the AMC in Burlington for a worse experience. Might as well drive a few minutes there instead.

Its a very small theater with small screens.

Nice, idiosyncratic, local movie theatre.

Awesome experience!

Great local theater, great staff

Excellent

Wish more theaters like that one were still around.

Average

Nice old school theater

A gem of a local theater.

Comfortable, clean.

Never Crowded

Great experience

Cool

Love most everything about this theatre except the female greeters loud grating voice & the over-salted popcorn.

Gr8 popcorn! ;)
