Excellent little theater with comfy seats, excellent snacks (much more variety and higher quality than anywhere else), and a charming staff of film buffs.Lots of downtown dwellers seem to come here alone, so its a comfortable environment for solo viewers. There also seem to be a lot of AV arts people having educated discussions about film. Im not one of those, but its still fun to listen.

My friend and I came to see Miss Americana at this theater and we were early so we asked the help and they said they were not forming a line yet so we came back later an hour before the movie started and then they decided to form the line, there were 4 people in front of us at that time. Then the people that were in the front of the line decided that they were going to have other people join them. 6 other people to be exact. The help did nothing. Then when we went in there was already a line inside so we asked them how they got in line before the people outside and they said they were just told to line up. The concession people were really nice but I won’t be coming here again!

Good quality and collection of movies.

Great movies but my entire row of chairs was broken off from the ground where it was supposed to be bolted, making the chairs lean forward into me and it made for an uncomfortable and distracting experience. I like this theatre though and they show wonderful stuff you dont get to see elsewhere. I also like the parking and how they validate your parking at the garage right there. You pretty much have to park on level 4 and higher but it was no big deal. My only reservation for giving this place a better review was that it needs a movie chair upgrade big time. The chair was really pretty uncomfortable.

Defiantly more of a home cozy feel for a theater. The chairs aren’t as large or comfy as Cinemark’s but they aren’t as squished as mageplex. Seats where velvet in a warm theater, so it did get pretty warm. All of the seats did recline a bit. Some of the seats were also dedicated .The candy options have more unique candy and their bottled drinks were some I’ve never seen before, Italian sodas were an option. They were out several Coke options at the fountain. The atmosphere was like nothing I have ever seen at a theater. Their movie selection caters to independent films and Sundance. Saturday night at 9 and it wasn’t busy, more of an older crowd so kids weren’t running a muck.

Love an independent theater! The only reason I docked a start is because of the seats- theyre awful. Bearable, but not great. Great snacks. Super friendly people.

This is the place to go to support indie movies in Salt Lake City. It is not the biggest or flashiest movie theater, but there is nothing I love better than cutting out early from work and watching something new here. There is a very different and pleasant vibe from the other movies theaters in town. Salt Lake City would be less with this and the Tower Theater around.

Ive only been here a few times and all visits were a part of Sundance Film Festival so I havent had the traditional theater going experience here. That said, this place at times made me long for that traditional franchise theater experience as opposed to the more intimate atmosphere here at Broadway. Not to say it was necessarily bad because it was a very nice experience overall but it definitely had its quirks. Such as, it was all very packed meaning you were constantly hearing people coughing or laughing at various times which can detract from the experience. Not to mention how the chairs arent terribly exquisite and by my findings means that you will invariably be kicked or somehow nudged from the back while in the theater. Ultimately, these gripes are what keep the venue from being the most fantastic experience but overall, its a pretty solid experience nonetheless.

A cultural and spiritual oasis. And it is just not for those familiar with the topic. The staff is so kind and amazing to amateurs and seekers.You should seriously visit.

I like the indie feel to this place. Smaller (and a bit older) theaters, but generally audiences that share a love for non-mainstream films. The parking next door is convenient.

Want a true cinema experience? This is the place. It is nothing like the mainstream theaters. No recliners, but the seats are comfortable. I enjoyed the quiet. It was a sophisticated movie experience. With the validation, theres free parking in the garage. The concessions are unlike the mainstream theaters. Independent Films rarely make it to the other theaters. Now I know where I can go to see the films that are not likely to be in my neighborhood. The staff were very nice. First visit, but not the last.

Best Chai tea Ive ever had. And the staff was cool. However, the mens restroom air hand drier was filthy beyond acceptable.

Awesome local theater showing art house movies and film festival selections as well as standard fare. Great people and friendly staff. Better than your average concessions as well. Tickets support local art theaters and film programs. Wonderful and consistenly good film experiences for 20+ years.

Love attending independent and studio films at this theater. This is the place to go for documentaries, special engagements, and films that you wont often see in the plexes and big name theaters. I believe the Salt Lake Film Institute is strongly connected to the venue. The concession stand offers a large variety of snacks and theater goodies. Some of the theaters could use chair repair or replacement. And the ticket agent out front isnt at all interactive with the buying public and almost seems disinterested serving theater goers. Parking is validated for the public parking garage to the east. There are also good eating options next door.

Went to see a movie about individuals with disabilities. Many were in attendance, including myself, and there was not much accessible sedating in the theatre. There was single person lift to get up the stairs to get to the theaters. Accessibility could have been way better.

Gone twice and both times have been good experiences. I enjoyed the cheaper than usual tickets, great movies, and friendly staff.

If you have a need for artsy films. You are in luck. The Broadway theater has movies you dont get in typical theaters. Most movies they have there are great. Documentary films are thier specialty.

Love the old theatre experience with great food options and always such great movies. Never let me down.

Its a quaint theater. 5 to 6 screens of only films. No movies no super heros. Awesome refreshments and real glass bottles of Coke. Pizza is great and most importantly, comfy seats. My favorite theater! So much to mention. The staff is cool. Tight place to see a good film. Just saw Queen and Slim. Safe space for Black people fam. Let me know what you thought of Q&S.

Edamame instead of popcorn! Love the choices of tea and drinks. Great little theater.

Nice little theater. Wouldnt go here for a real cinematic experience or a blockbuster, but its small, pleasant and had a nice concession stand with lots of choices and excellent popcorn.

Volunteers can be curmudgeonly but they show great movies that may be hard to find in more mainstream theaters and typically the staff is fantastic. They serve pizza that needs 5 minutes to be prepared so, prepare for that goodness. They have really interesting movie snacks like edamame and tamales. German chocolate is also a good movie snack they provide. And dont forget the espresso!

Always pleased with the growing diverse selection of films. Very pleased with Queen and Slim, JoJo Rabbit, and Waves. Lucky to have this theater in the neighborhood.

Always showcasing amazing movies. Great concession with old school sodas and alternative snack options.

Broadway Cinemas offers great popcorn along with a great selection of movies. I love this place!

Excellent theatre which shows indie cinema. Comfortable seats and a classy vibe.

Not the newest, greatest, or most comfortable, however it is a great place for the Indy Vibe.Parking downtown SLC can be a hassle, however with the tiered parking close by and a validation from the theatre, it makes it a much more pleasant visit.

We go to waffles and wassail every year. Its our new family tradition now! The staff is so pleasant. I love the alternative snacking options for movies. My dairy free husband appreciates the various popcorn toppings. Comfortable seats

My favorite movie venue of all time. Parking is free, matinees are cheap, popcorn is fresh, and most of all films are diverse, poignant, topical, and some are the film of the year best in many categories. No teenage drivel, no animated nonsense, and many wildly creative themes.... Love this place--- dont tell anyone.

I love this place. The seating is not ideal (not easy to see if you are short, i sometimes bring a cushion a make shift booster seat) but theres just a feeling of passion for cinema that makes me feel emotional when Im there. My history with the place goes way back to the 90s and seeing Schindlers List there, so I will always associate it with high art. But the Salt Lake Film Society has brought a wonderful new life to it. Every time I go there I find myself thinking I need to make more time for this place.

This is easily my favorite theater in Salt Lake. The selection of films is different from what is everywhere else and for anyone who wants to see festival award winners on a big screen this is the place. They have free screenings with Q&A sessions and series of films that won awards in other countries. This is my favorite place to spend free time.

I love this place! The atmosphere they have created there, and the community involvement. They have some really good screenings for movies that you may not have ever heard of but are deffinitly worth seeing on the big screen. I will encourage everyone to check them out. It is ran by the Salt Lake Film Society which is a great organization.

A cool, fun place to see a movie with a fun selection of artsy films

This is a fun place with a niche crowd with whom watching unique movies is very entertaining. We came here to see something that wasnt showing anywhere else in the valley, and werent disappointed.

Love this Theater. Great concessions & independent flicks

This place is clean, quiet and always has great movies that you cant find at other theaters! Tickets are reasonably priced and the seats are pretty comfortable.

Great Artsy movie house. Could stand to be updated fo sho but Ive spent some good times.

You can tell from the second you walk in that everyone there cares about the best film experience possible, from the staff to the ticket buyers. The atmosphere hits you instantly.In your average theatre, people talk, text, or loudly fart during the movie. With typical theatres, you have to deal with people who dont really care about the movie or whether anyone else does. Broadway Cinemas is pretty different. People just, you know, enjoy the movie. Most people even sit through the credits, just for fun.Not to mention the films they show, most of which wouldnt screen anywhere in the state otherwise, especially foreign films. They dont usually have explosions or decepticons, but good writing and acting instead.If you like theatres where people leave their phone alarms on, come in late, answer a phone call during the movie, and then loudly leave early, maybe this ones not for you. Anyone else, though, will probably be happy they came here.

Great films k knowledgeable staff top notch snack bar always entertaining.

Great venue to take in quality cinema. Highly recommended!

This is one of my favorite places to watch a movie. Plus they have yummy popcorn!!!

Nice place, friendly staff. Great movie experience

Wonderful venue. Movies you cannot see anywhere else. Great selection of concessions and love the free parking at the garage next door.

It is a great place to see movies that arent blockbusters. And the price is less than a big theater.

The only place to go for decent cinema and art films in the area. Great environment. Lovely concessions. Brings in the films indie movie lovers want. I drive an hour to get here. Always well worth the time and traffic.

This place is for all people who enjoy thought provoking films and all films that wont be seen in the general theaters. A place for independent film makers to learn their love of making quality films. I love the place and recommend it highly.

This place always has fabulous selections and many of the films there are not shown in any other theater. It emphasizes indie films and it is just a great atmosphere and a great crowd of people and great staff that work there. The food is a little pricey but I dont mind supporting the arts. Also they have some spectacular selections that you cant find anywhere else.

The food selection here is quite nice. But the seats in the actual theaters could use some redo. Also it is not stadium seating. So if you happen to get a tall person in front of you you may be in trouble. Its like going to the theater in the 1970s. However the seats do have cup holders and are comfortable. Now as far as the selection of films. Youre going to find some of the best films available here. Thats a bigger theater chains dont carry. So you think of it as an art house theater. Then its not bad. Hope to see you at the movies.

Love this theater. Best films in town. Great seats and eats. My favorite

In spite of being an old building, an elevator is available for disability access. This is a must for me.Its a wonderful theater. They have lots of independent films which is why we drive from Ogden to go. They have a full coffee/tea menu as well as vegetarian and vegan snacks. And of course all of the usuals like popcorn, and traditional candies and snacks. They have so much to choose from!I love that there are all types and ages of people attending there. It feels like youre in a community just by being present.

Great place to see outstanding film. Popcorn perhaps not as good as Cinemark, but a first rate art house.

This theater is very nice, slightly cheaper than most chain theaters and shows all Independent films. It has regular seating not comfort seating. They validate parking in the parking garage next door so thats free. My only complaint is that Im short and their seat backs are fairly high so I have to be sure I sit up straight to see the whole screen.

One of my favorite venues in SLC! The various events held there are something I attend every year, especially the Czech That Film. It has the same pricing as the mega theaters, but have the best off major films. I feel very lucky to have a venue like this in SLC that allows the community to see indie films locally.

Definitely loved Judy!!! Pop corn yum!! The people that work there are really nice :)

Very interesting theater, plays controversial movies you often dont hear about

Love this place! The staff is friendly and the place is very beautiful

I loved the atmosphere and the snack bar had plenty to choose from. The staff here are chill and very nice. My daughter and I went and the other patrons in the theater were respectful it was like going to watch a movie with a whole bunch of friends. We all laughed, gasped and cheered. I felt like I was transported back to when I was a child going to the the theaters in L.A. again when people had manners and were cordial and cared about the whole experience. No feet on the back of your chair, no cell phones going off, no one talking really loud through out the whole movie.

I enjoyed how it looked and felt. It gave the feeling of total acceptance... no hate, just love. I loved how at the end of the movie everyone clapped. The last time that ever happened to me was at the old Riverdale Cinema in South Ogden.The crowd of people and the workers gave genuine interest in giving you a wonderful experience.What an amazing Movie Night!

Best movie theatre in Salt Lake City. Ive been coming here for over a year and its the best place, because it doesnt show these big box office sequels or superhero movies. They are Utahs home of Independent, Foreign and Documentary film. Such a friendly staff and such a unique environment. I love this place.

Great indie and arthouse movies, AWFUL seating situation. So incredibly uncomfortable, especially for someone with mobility issues!

Great little gem of a movie theater. Love to see films there, great snack bar with grown up treats, and they validate parking. Loved it, will be back.

Love this theater so much. The snack selection is crazy great! The employees are incredibly friendly and down to earth. The bathroom was super clean (something I’m very picky about). Overall, an excellent place to watch smaller films.

I love the diversity and quality of the movies shown here!

It was awsome . Got to watch a fantastic film. Sons of perdition. We all grew up and have such wonderful lives. Its all about family

Just saw JUDY & it was truly amazing... Great works- Ms. Renee Zellweger!! :)

I love this place for the kind of movies they have.

The greatest movie theater in the world

The movie was GREAT! The popcorn, not so great. The butter flavor was rancid. They gave us a new bag without the butter. Did I say the movie was GREAT!?

Fabulous theatre! Great selection of films, fair prices, good concessions (big variety) and comfortable seats, good sound quality and screens. An Oscar worthy experience!

Best movies in town, specializing in indie and foreign cinema. Fantastic service.

Small intimate theatre that shows independent movies. The atmosphere makes you feel that your stepping back in time.Lines do get long. Highly recommend buying tickets on their website. Arrive early if you want to get a snack. There are no assigned seats. And there are not many seats in the theater. If youre planning on a huge screen with stadium seating, go somewhere else. This is an independent theater that has class and charm.

Nice seats. Good ambience.

Such a great place! Friendly staff, huge selection of exotic and treats and bottled soda pop! Things to know before you go:1. There is no fountain soda, if that’s something you like for a movie.2. Park in the parking garage next door, they validate!3. They really put movies back to back, so they don’t do lots of cleaning between movies, and since it’s run but many volunteers, it can be a little messy when coming in. They also ask that you try and clean up before you leave. Which if you are a decent human, you should be doing anyway.4. The seats are not stadium, just traditional movie seats. Comfy, with cup holders. The theaters are also small, which we liked, very intimate. Also, no pre assigned seats.So thankful for this great art house! The only place you can see so many great films!

Okay, these cinemas are the best ever! Great location and building scale... large enough but not too large. Presenting quality movies that deserve to be seen! There is a great common area for visiting, eating, and drinking. I really enjoy watching a good film with a house made latte in hand!

The larger and more professional of the two independent cinema houses in town, the Broadway is fantastic! Absolutely dedicated staff, huge and semi-healthy snack selection, and most importantly, all the movies worth seeing. It has comfortable seats, decent bathrooms, a nice clean lobby with local art and independent movie information, and a huge, 6 level parking garage right next door that validates parking with a ticket. Its AV system is state-of-the-art, of course, but you wont find any 3D or vibrating seats at this place! That is not what the Broadway is about.

Superb venue for independent and foreign films of high quality. Utah in general, and Salt Lake being no exception, is starved for art oriented cinema. The Broadway fills a local gap in what would otherwise be a desert of fine cinema. Do yourself a favor and trust to their powers of selection and choose a movie at random you might not otherwise see, you will not be disappointed as your spectrum of appreciation broadens.

The fine line between mom and pop shop and mega corporation is deftly carved by this amazing theater. On the night I was there you could choose between artistically acclaimed national released, a local film festival (Filmulate, Dark Christmas Film Fest), and an art house flick. Every town that has a theater like this is blessed. Lucky. Endowed.

Honest to God, this is one of the best movie theaters I’ve ever been to. Classy, great service, comfy and casual, and amazing offers for concessions!

Love many of the films! Would give it 5 stars but the seats are at an uncomfortable angle and lean forward. Fix this and it would be a much better place to see a movie

I feel lucky to have a place like the Broadway near me! They show excellent films that cant be seen anywhere else and everyone there is always kind and helpful. The huge snack selection also a plus!

My favorite theater around Salt Lake! This is the only place that shows a solid variety of independent or lesser-known films. Every employee I have seen here is always above and beyond friendly.Note that theres free parking in the garage next door; just ask for validation when you buy your ticket inside.

Consistently great selection of films. Wonderful seating and good concessions at a reasonable price. What more could you want?

Theater was dirty and smelled awful. The seats wouldn’t lean back

Wonderful VR exhibit, Traveling While Black!

Great movie theatre in downtown Salt Lake City featuring independent films. Wonderful small theaters with comfy seats and great sound systems. Contemporary snack bar with varied offerings.

My wife and I love the Broadway! Its great to have a theater in the downtown area that plays movies not found in every theater. Coming here has introduced me to a world of cinema that I didnt know existed. I love their unique concessions stand offerings. The staff is always friendly as well.

Conveniently located. Various food options inside.

Upscale theater. Respectful crowd. Great concessions, including pizza and hot dogs. This theater is for the budding theater enthusiast or the seasoned independent film aficionado. Nice dinner options in walking distance or try outdoor ice skating in the colder months... Buy your theater tickets online to avoid a wait in line outside.

One of my favorite places to see a movie . There is usually not a large amount of people and the snack bar is awesome because they have items that no other theater has, larger variety, Espresso & items that are on the healthy side which I love.

Always playing independent films, which is great for those who are looking for something abstract, or against the mainstream circuit.

Great place for film festivals. Thanks for your support....

Great venue, saw Free Solo with a q&a period after with Alex Honnold and Jimmy Chin and it was amazing. Ticket prices vary depending on the time and show, child and senior tickets get a discount. Concessions are available and reasonably priced.

I was on the fence about this but I know they raised funds last year for ADA compliance and I gave them my card to make sure they update their assistive hearing devices since they are very outdated but now a year later and it is still the old technology that I advised for them to change. I can’t enjoy any of the shows here properly and I wish to help to get it fixed.

Only the best (international) films. Good public as well. Parking validated for garage next door.

Staff and volunteers are so kind and helpful. Did not eat. Just saw a documentary

1 can always count on being entertained. No. 1 film festival caliber movies from comical i.e. Art of Self defense, drama i.e. Farewell, real life i.e. The Eagle Trainer, to off the wall i.e. Black Klansman.I would if I could, watch a new film a week.

Great place to go see movies that are not the typical mainstream fare.

So precious, this theater is my favorite

Cute movie theater with a good selection of mainstream and off beat movies. Good snack selection and comfy stadium seats, along with tickets at a reasonable cost.

Little expensive tickets and concessions, BUT the downtown location is awesome. Definitely not an upscale theater, but a quality place to find films that aren’t local blockbusters. Still recommend for the award winning films!
