This is a really really cool theater. My wife and I love going on dates here, and grab a drink at the bar next door after and then go for a walk and see the river and some of the other sites.Parking is a nightmare, but there’s not much they can do about that.

A quaint, homey movie theater that shows the latest. I recommend walking here and enjoying an afternoon movie, followed up by local eats, and a walk down Stone Arch Bridge. Seating is smaller than modern theaters, as is general capacity around (bathroom, concessions, etc.), but its a fun atmosphere and resonates with the neighborhood. You can grab drinks at the adjacent bar and bring them in.Theater one has some stuff on their white screen they should invest to clean out to improve image quality.Buy tickets online, grab a seat early and enjoy the show.

We love this theater! They very often have movies that we can’t find anywhere else, or that don’t get a wider release until later on. They also have a great deal going on with the surrounding restaurants where you get a discount on food and beverages with your ticket stub, and in return you can bring said food and beverages (including alcoholic ones) into the theater for your movie. In addition, the surrounding area is just beautiful, and it’s a great place to take a walk after your movie.

This place is cute!! I love the vintage charm of it all. Brought me back to a time when I enjoyed theatre going more than today. This was my first visit, of many more Im sure. The only criticism I have is in the popcorn and that may vary by crew. Tonight it was exceptionally salty. I tried it with buttery flavor, and will try it without on my next trip.

Between art house and mainstream theater, St. Anthony Main has a small feel, but nice screens and plenty of lobby hallway room. Food (and wine) can be brought in from the restaurant next door, so give yourself time if you are hungry to do that first. No reserved seating, so you have to play it by ear. Great date spot.

I see all of my movies here. Great prices and great popcorn. I really dislike being smashed into a theater, this place is homie. Also can bring in food and drinks from the restaurant attached to it. Great place to take the kids..!

My favorite local theatre. Not too expensive and the BEST popcorn. No filmy yellow powder on their popcorn. I enjoy supporting this local theatre whenever I can.

This is my local theater. I love this place! Dinner on the riverfront and a move makes for an amazing date night.They redid their seats a couple years ago and theyre comfy cozy.Prices are reasonable. Facilities are clean. Staff is friendly. Its a true local gem.I so prefer going here to the big chains like Marcus or AMC.

This tiny movie theater is an absolute gem! Movie showings and options are limited but expected due to its size. However, you will not be disappointed. I love its location and intimate setting.

Very nice old school theatre. I enjoyed the view of the water and the downtown skyline. I went on a Tuesday since the tickets, popcorn and soda are discounted. Just a tip if you do decide to go on a Tuesday and a movie is newly released buy your tickets in advance ( online or the box office) and get there at least a half hour early to find parking and a good seat in the theatre.

I came to this theater sometime in septembe 2018. I would give it a 5 stars believe me, until I was on the 1st floor and took a glance at one of the empty theater rooms and I saw a rat run across in front of me. I hope theyre taking care of that! Other than that I really loved the theater. Pretty old school.

This is a fabulous theatre. I actually hosted an event here for work and couldn’t be more pleased with how easy they were to work with. Incredibly professional, accommodating, and friendly. I’m seriously trying to find more reasons to host an event at a theatre just so I can work with Elliott and his team again!

Vintage movie theater. Close to the Mississippi River. Great staff. Current Blockbusters but also Indy films. Restaurant is right next door. Tuesday deals. Its my theater that I go to as a downtown Minnesotan. Great location.

Definitely like movie theaters were meant to be good prices also. Go with a friend to a matinee and get a movie drinks and popcorn for under 30 bucks.

Great theater with cool industrial architecture. It is a comfy place with friendly staff. I enjoy going to the movies at this location as it is cheaper than big chain theaters and the building is way cooler. Also there is a bar next door and they let you bring your drink to the movie, super big plus right there.

Review №31

Probably my favorite theater in town. None of the frills of a more modern theater, but also none of the baggage. Grab a beer from Pracna (dont eat there its bad) and bring it into the theater if you want. The popcorn is good and the theaters are clean. Very limited or no ads before the movie - just a couple of trailers. Pretty consistent start times too so its easy to plan for.

Love the St. Anthony Main theatre. $6 Student tickets is a steal, along with reasonable combos for snacks. Additionally, the movie quality is clear and the theatre is quite nice with comfortable seating. It has up to date releases and popular films as well! Nothing to complain about.

The seats and parking availability are a bit to be desired but it’s in a great date location near a lot of restaurants along the river. Concessions are reasonable and the theater is clean.

Fun, tiny theater. The screens seem smaller than many TVs these days but the picture is good and it lends a certain ambiance to the situation. You might not want to see the most visually intensive films here but for many things its a charming experience. The price for tickets is also great and allows for a movie night to be quite affordable.

Really cool old theather in one of my favorite parts of the city. Its got a really cool retro vibe.. reminds me of going to the theater when I was a kid. Mostly new releases with some smaller release/indie type films.

Review №63

Is it as nice as the fancy theatres in the burbs? No. But you can actually get to it. Its as close to a downtown theatre as we have. The staff is always courteous, the popcorn is reasonably priced (and well buttered), and the theaters themselves are nice enough. Not super big screens or very large seating capacity, but they do what they need to do. There is also a lot going on right around the theater so when youre done with your movie you can easily go grab a beer or bite. You dont exit into the middle of a big parking lot far from anything else worthwhile.

I love St Anthony Main Theatre! Their $5 Tuesday’s are great but can get insanely busy. The staff has always been kind and generous, if a little casual, but only if it’s quiet in the lobby.

Review №72

A very nice and festive environment with some nice upscale restaurants and retail stores. It has a cozy feel to it. Only 3 stars because it isnt family and kid friendly, parking is prohibitive and the upscale environment gives it a somewhat exclusive and snobby feel. Still a good place if you just want to stroll down and have a beer.

$5/ticket on Tuesday nights, $6 for a medium popcorn and medium drink. No service fee for online ticket purchase! You just cant beat these prices. The sound and picture were great. The staff is nice too. Free parking at the meters nearby after 6pm.

Review №82

Staff is pleasant, prices are great, popcorn is wet with butter, overall a lovely movie theatre. If I were a large theatre chain I would be worried about places like this. With aggressively low prices they may be preying on these mom & pap coporate theatre shops and making them bleed their fake butter/nacho cheese sauce from their over priced surround sound speakers that feel like an over-roasted espresso bean being grinded and brewed in my ear canals. They have cool movies too

A decent movie theater near downtown Minneapolis. It could definitely use some screen/sound updates, and some newer and more comfortable seating. But, they do show newer movies for a fair price. Good drinks and dining options close by as well.

Review №85

I really like Saint Anthony Main it is maybe not the most luxurious theater or the newest but you can bring in beverages from The next door bar which makes it exceptionally fun although I will say I dont remember one of the Marvel movies as well as I probably should. Probably what influences my rating the most is every time I go I seem to be among friends and family and we have a great time.

This place is awesome. Has that 80s-90s movie theater vibe and the prices cant be beat. Its a very clean theater and great for families, date nights, anything. Popcorn is very good and they even go old school with having completely plain popcorn that you can choose to add butter to if you want. Next time, skip the megaplex and catch your movie here.Also located in such a cool part of town. Very quaint and pretty. Totally worth getting there early to walk around.

One of my favorite theaters in the cities. They don’t have the super fancy amenities some of the large chains. But they do have great prices and lots of events that allow you to see more than just the summer blockbusters. I highly recommend Cine Latino every fall.

Review №98

I came here twice for the international film festival and really enjoyed it. The theaters are a little retro feeling with comfy seats. I saw a set of short movies in a smaller theater that had one center aisle and I think 6 seats on either side - a set up Im not a fan of. I also went to a feature length film in a larger theater with stadium seating and a more traditional setup which I liked much better. My favorite thing about this theater though... They make their popcorn with coconut oil! So delicious!
