Historic theater with their finger on the pulse. Lots of stairs to the restroom make for a less than accessible experience, however, the staff are extremely accommodating and are there to help! They offer a good amount of services for those in need.Theyve got a tremendous catalogue of films to boot!

I first saw Drunken Master at the Tower...changed my life. Ive karate chopped hundreds of people while being drunk (yeah, I know its kung phu).

This place is old fashioned theater with a cool vibe vintage vibe. We went to go watch the 2019 Oscar nominated animated shorts and I was all kinds of emotions. The candy is very good there and the have a video rental area, too! I would come again to see some more unique shows :D

I freakin love SLCs independent cinema. Tower Theater is especially great because they show the Oscar-nominated short films every year, and theyre the only theater in town that does! Plus, they have Goobers! Its so rare to find a theater with Goobers these days!

This place needs some love...and updates. During Sundance, they love to say, the historic Tower theater... its old and run down. Does that make it historic?

I came here for a movie during Sundance. This is a beautiful theatre and is one that reminds you what it used to be like watching movies at the cinema instead of Netflix and your living room couch took over. There is a beautiful, community coffeehouse next door that you should check out while you are here.

This place is aesthetically great - especially if you are going to a screening for a film that has a cult following or is super campy. I saw Mandy and The House that Jack Built on their opening nights here and it was packed. The more audience that is here, the better and more enjoyable the experience will be.

A great Salt Lake landmark. They tend to show more independent films, and even screen some stuff during Sundance. Often theyll have events where they show classics, sometimes even shadow cast performances. Theres also a great selection of DVDs that you can rent (one of the last places you can do that anywhere), where they carry and recommend a wide range of movies you may not have heard of, or are hard to find.

Saw rocky horror picture show they did an amazing job very entertaining.

The staff and the film selection are fantastic, but the theater literally smelled like a sewer had backed up in it. So disgusting! I wont be returning anytime soon.

I love this place! feels like you are walking back in time. Dont expect luxury but it is a lovely experience

Awesome little independent theater in Salt Lake. Its such an intimate venue, with snacks and videos you can rent in a small lobby, and an awesome single theater with balcony seats. We caught a Sundance feature here, but it would ve a great intimate place to watch whatever they have playing.

This is such a great place to see fantastic movies. And have you seen the selection of rentals ? The best directors only

Glad I wasnt the only one to experience this...Read the comment before mine. ya, watched a movie there last night (Uncut Gems). The film kept lagging throughout its entirety. Really unpleasant experience. Secondly, the theater reeked of a sewer. It was pretty nasty. The first time it has happened. And Ive seen several movies there. Very strange. Hopefully, this is fixed before Sundance. I cant imagine the film execs being comfortable with a sewer smelling theater. And the potential of a film not tracking accurately.Cheers,

Eclectic place with nostalgia and memories. Pick a favorite oldie flick or venture into a new indie film, youll love the experience!

Well used Art House old single screen theater. You can find movies not playing anywhere else.

Love our Tower Theater! Great movies, great experience and fantastic community!

Great old theater. One of the last art house theaters around showing movies not available anywhere else. Rentals have hard to find movies and large selection of foreign films. Seats are not the most comfortable but the Tower will always make up for it in cinema and nostalgia. Really knowledgeable and friendly staff.

This theater and the Broadway are the only two theaters where I will buy soda and popcorn. Support your local theaters!I love this old fashioned theater. Not only do they show quality films you often cant see elsewhere, but the staff is wonderful and the video selection to rent is vast. This place has so much history! It is the only theater in Utah still operating (that I know of anyway), that still has the lower seating and upper sitting that existing in the days of segregation before the 1960s civil rights movement. My mom remembers when blacks were forced to sit in the upper seats. So sad, but a good reminder of what can happen when we let injustice and inequality into society. Go see a movie there!

I love it. Is a little theatre. The city around is beautiful. And the movies are diferents.

The science fiction movie we went to see was very interesting. We would have enjoyed it more if the sound would have been better. I think it was the movie sound track track rather than the theater sound system because the sound on the movie previews was good. It is very nice to have this theater for viewing independent films. It was cool in the theater, comfortable and not crowded. We had an enjoyable time.

Old school theater that shows arthouse films and special events. Late night movies on weekends during summer.

Just saw the towers production of rocky horror picture show, absolutely phenomenal! The tower is one of the best theatres in salt lake, the atmosphere and vibe are fantastic!

Fun indie movie theater. They have a very diverse movie rental selection in the front. Great for finding the rare and unusual, but also has some mainstream movies as well.

Just great ! Restored but still has some of the old touches.Example: The mens room floor was flooded. ....Just as it always has been!Ah! The good ol days are still here!

Great, weird, crazy, unique events run down here! I love coming here with a friend of mine and seeing things you cant see anywhere else. Love the old building, too.

This theatre is one of the most wonderful places in Salt Lake City. If you are looking to have a unique movie going experience this is the right place. Their Summer Late Night series is particularly fun. Sitting in this historic theatre watching an old horror movie is as good as movies get.

First experience was in the Sundance waitlist line, but it was still incredible and awesome.

The best place in SLC to be at midnight on Halloween.

The Tower is a lovely historic theater. I have been going there for 25+ years. I love the lack of remodeling. Really! I think its awesome. The place has great character and is pretty charming. It is not luxurious with reclining seats or lots of legroom. But it does offer the opportunity to see a wealth of cult, indie, arthouse, and classic films on a big screen. Now if they could just do something about the refreshments. I like my popcorn with butter, which they dont offer, and it would be nice if I could grab a hot dog or some other semi/pseudo kind of meal food while attending a Sundance film that I rushed to get into.

Hadn’t been here in years. Not much has changed, in a good way. Enjoyed seeing a screening of Halloween. Nice shot of nostalgia.

Great old-school theater!

Amazing intimate experience. Went and saw The Mads from MST3K here and had an absolute blast.

Common venue for the Sundance festival. Get in line early.

Went hear for sundance. The theatre had an old school vibe and was pretty cool. I would definitely watch anothee screening here!

Best movies, fun atmosphere placed in the idyllic 9th and 9th Neighborhood setting. The Tower offers a broad range of B movies, cult classics as well as just classics which can rarely be found inside an Art Deco Cinema setting. Visit one of Salt Lake Citys Highlights and dont miss an opportunity to see a movie at Tower Theatre.

Favorite movie theater in town. Love their physical Blu Ray and DVD rental collection. Great staff.

Very, very, very cool experience! On top of the amazing shows they play, the theater itself offers a very cool and unique atmosphere. Probably the coolest theater in SLC. Would definitely recommend. The only issue Ive ever had here is one time the guy working at the front counter was a little uninviting and blunt. But other than that every time Ive gone Ive enjoyed it.

Awesome retro meets small video store business. Do a lot of cult movies and old newer movie showings and events. Enjoyed my visit here to see a flic with friends and there’s plenty of great places to eat near by. :) . Thumbs up!!!

Old vintage look and feel neighborhood movie theatre. They play a very good sample of indie, art-house flicks that give you something meaningful to talk about at the coffee shop next door after the movie.

The chairs are comfier than they look. This is the best theater around.

Great place to see great movies

So little and quaint. I love coming here. The films are Great. The staff is kind. I always have a good experience.

Tower Theatre is one of those old-school theaters with a stage at the front. The first thing I thought of when I walked in was how great it would be for a Rocky Horror Picture Show screening (which they do). Its almost 100 years old and is in great shape, but you have to remember that it is an old building and might require a little love from the patrons (like tricky plumbing in the bathroom).I love that the Salt Lake Film Society has preserved this little gem of a theater. And the lobby is lined with shelves and shelves of DVDs to rent. I didnt have time to browse them, but Im guessing they are the movies they have shown over the years (like Indy films, other art films and documentaries that can be difficult to find).

Staff is super friendly. They show wonderful movies. Fun place to go with friends. Great location. You can rent movies here. Wide assortment with great organization. Definitely recommend to everyone.

Great theater that features great films. A gem of salt lake !

Great theatre for date night!

Love this place. Classiest old theater in town. Attending their Rocky Horror shadow cast is a must around Halloween. Thanks for the awesome times Tower!

Great theater that shows many independent films as well as those that dont make it to the major theaters. Concessions are limited and it is definitely a smaller place than Broadway. It was a little cold inside and the seats are not as comfortable as Broadway either. However, its a great place to catch a movie!

Great theater with a real love for film!

Great screening of Hail Satan. The ushers were super friendly.

Very hot when packed but its old so I get it. Was fun to see a Sundance film here!

I attended Sundance and another showing for a Sailor Moon Play, it was very fun, staff is very courteous and helpful always.

I love this theatre! I have been coming here for the past 3 years now. I love the film selection they provide, including many independent movies that dont appear in other theatres. Also the rocky horror picture show they put on each year at Halloween is the funnest event of the season!

A movie here is definitely an experience. Cool place

Been a long time since I have been here and nothing much has changed. Still kind of a cool place.

Good times great staff.

While the location itself is dated, it is an icon of the area. The video store in the front is well stocked with hidden gems. The staff is generally very passionate about film and always give great recommendations. During October they host all of the best classic horror films, capping it off with Halloween screenings of Rocky Horror Picture Show.

Classic, cozy, and awesome. Quite possibly my favorite hangout spot in SLC.

This is a local favorite theater. They always have great showings and a really good snack bar. It has older seating which adds to its charm.

This place is great. The seats are comfortable and the staff are really nice

Second best movie theater in Utah, only to the Breweries. The atmosphere is wonderful. In case you can watch here a horror movie.

Awesome old school theater that shows cool movies that stays on your mind the week after.If you like foreign films, this is where you can check out their rental section.Volunteer staffs are awesome, too.

What a gift to have a space to watch movies that are outside the mainstream media.

Its a dive. Still cool. Not taken care up with warped floor, we can stick to the floor from all the soda spilled. Its too bad how much money slfs needs to help this piece of history still stand. Humans needs to clean up after themselves.

Seats need upgrading badly and the screen is small. Concessions are an enticement to dining before the show, and I suggest using the toilet facilities at whatever restaurant you select prior to arrival But the point is the films, including the extensive DVD library. So not your upscale movie palace experience, but a great SLC institution. Dont change a thing!

This theatre is a true gem and deserves your patronage and support! Ive been going to the Tower Theatre since film school and I am so grateful for this classic theatre. How awesome it was to watch The Disaster Artist from a comfortable old school theatre seat in an historic building, feet planted on the hardwood floor... A more valuable and rich experience than any luxury lounger can offer I would say. After the show I browsed the rentals and rented a copy of Lenny starring Dustin Hoffman, directed by Bob Fosse (WoW) and was reminded what a nice resource the Towers movie rentals are, access to so many great films, not just those that make the biggest box office dollar! :) Note to self: See more movies at the Tower Theatre.

The cutest theater in town :D cheap tickets for great movies and also an awesome rentable collection of DVDs. Check it out!

If you live shadow casting, youll love this place. Its old, run down, and not the most glamorous but you dont go for the place, the people doing the shadow casting really get into the shows and put on a wonderful performance. If youre able, Id go see Repo, Rocky, or Hedwig as theyre all wonderful!

AMAZING CREW, very fun theater, love smaller places where there can be a lot of audience participation. Rocky Horror in October is a must see

The midnight showing of Rocky Horror, fantastic cast, great audience!

The Tower has been there for many years. I still enjoy their aging, but intimate theater.

Fun eclectic theater with great movies you can’t see anywhere else. Love watching Rocky Horror Picture Show there!

Old theater but a good one! Went to their Rocky Horror Picture Show and LOVED it! The experience was one Im planning to make an annual tradition.

Kinda like a dive bar with movies instead of booze.

This place is a fantastic spot for culture in downtown Salt Lake.

A great place for independent films. Also offers a great selection of classic movies for rent. Watch for special events showing classic movies.

The staff is passionate and knowledgeable about film. It turns out that theres other movies outside America that are beautiful to watch. Their movies are quite a bargain as well. You could watch movies nowhere else.

The Tower is one of my favorite places in SLC. My husband and I see lots of movies here, and they are always different and interesting. If a movie has moved from the Broadway to the Tower, make sure to see it quick because that means they are phasing it out!

I learned more about how Native Americans have influenced everything from the beat of Rock & Roll, Blues, Tony Bennett and Frank Sinatra in RUMBLE thanks to the Tower for bringing me an education in music I thought I knew. Where else are you going to get this stuff?!

Such a great place to watch a film! I love this historic landmark and all that it has to offer. Quite possibly SLFSs best movie-viewing location. You can rent movies from here or watch something not yet on DVD - new films. Or you can see one of their special showings for Summer Late Nights, the odd rock Opera, Sundance competitors, indie films that dont make it to bug names like Megaplex or Cinemark, and everything in between.

An older classic theatre. Balcony is pretty far from the screen. One of the Sundance movie venues.

Great place to see a Sundance movie!

Great old timey movie theater (yes, timey is a word; I just made it up!). Lots of character. In a great neighborhood with a local vibe.

Great venue and great staff if you want a real genuine cinema experience

Great little theater, staff, and location! Plays great independent films. Rents stuff too. And, hosts Sundance Film Fest movies.

A cute local theater dedicated to keeping independent film alive.

Jojo rabbit was phenomenal

Nice little theater. Had a showing of Groundhog Day which was cool

Great place to see independent films and screenings of old movies. Support the local film scene here!

Great spot for indie films and a massive selection of movies to pick from in the store.

Fun atmosphere of indie culture, good place to spend a night

Great place. Love Rocky Horror Picture Show. Needs a few more amenities and more space, but otherwise great place.

Rocky was awesome!

I love this theater because its for people who love movies! The staff is always friendly and they dont pander to anyone other than people who appreciate cinema

Its an older theater but thats part of its charm. Really nice employees and they show great movies.

Rocky horror experience was awesome! Loved Susan and all the props.

No parking, but amazing production

I viewed the Oscar nominated short films and the Oscar nominated short animated films there. This theater screens films that are seldom shown elsewhere in Salt Lake County. Many are quality independent films.

I love the Salt Lake Film Society and everything it does. I especially love the summer film series. I highly recommend it to anyone who loves film.
