My wife and I liked this place so much we got married here! This is not just a great theatre with probably the best food in town(for a theatre), its also a place to hold events! I cant wait to renew my annual pass once all this COVID stuff is over.
The Garland is Spokanes Longest Running Independent Theatre. Opened in 1945, its a pristine example of Art Deco Architecture with its straight lines and angles. Attached to the side is the vintage cocktail bar, Bon Bon. It may not show the newest releases, but if you can wait a week or two, its a cheap alternative to have a lazy night in but also out.
I saw my first movie ever at the Garland Theater.Petes Dragon the original version. I have loved return and bring my nieces and nephews.When we finally get to return to watching movies in the theaters. I would love to seeAll the Harry PottersGreatest ShowmanBurlesqueTwilight series
Love this place, been coming for over 20 years. Addition of bar and other food and drink items was needed. Took my son to a movie during the day and everyone was nice and helpful. They forgot our candy but they trusted me when I came back later on. The theater is much bigger once youre inside!
What an amazing place! Today was my first time going to the Garland Theater and wow. The service was excellent the people were nice the theater had the most amazing energy and to boot the crowd was very happy about the movie and was clapping at the end! What an amazing experience. I will totally be going back and the prices! the prices are amazing! Thanks for being you garland theatre!
Be warned the handwashing handles in the womens restroom only work when you are turning them. So useless. I had to touch the handles like 5 times to rinse the soap off my hands.Everything besides the bathroom sinks was a great experience.
Walking into the Garland Theater, youll glimpse parts of its historic past that have not been modernized (and hopefully never will be). The fond memories I have of going to the movies as a kid come rushing back as I smell the popcorn and make my way into the theater. Reverie aside, this is a laid-back historic theater that typically plays long-since-released movies. We saw Hot Fuzz there the other night, and we paid less than $10 for two tickets. The staff are friendly, the seats are comfortable, and the bathrooms are clean. This is definitely the place to go if relaxed nostalgia is your thing.
Met a friend to see Harriet Tubman. The popcorn and Pop was yummy . Free parking in the back.Centrally located tooThe staff friendly and helpful.
One of my favorite places to go, besides the staff being the most down to earth movie fans. You also have great prices. I got 3 movie tickets for $7.50 on Tubular Tuesday. No one comes close in price and value in town.
Vintage feel, great prices! Love the nostalgic feel, even with the remodel from a several years ago!
I love the Garland and at least two of those stars are nostalgic--its an older, kinda run down, but huge movie theater that plays 2d run, 3rd, run and specialty movies (like Miyazaki films from time to time) and has carved out a niche in Spokane by being cheap and also by selling wine and booze close by. Ah, yes, excellent corporate decision, there! The free movies are nice for the kids, and there are occasional amazing offers on the big screen- saw The Shining there a few weeks back, so there you go. Could really use a make-over, but it will never happen--its barely struggling along now.
Comfy old school theater seats. Great sound. Super nice staff. Bathroom is very clean.
I seriously love the Garland Theatre! I definitely am a movie fanatic and the fact that they host movie specials and have trivia nights its awesome! I certainly dog the whole vibe of that place. Its almost like your at home except you have to pay for everything lol Not to mention that they have Blue Moon, my fave
What a cool place. Im so excited and nostalgic that the Garland Theater is up and still kicking. It wasnt that long ago that all theaters resembled what this place encompasses. I must say on special occasions and showings it gets a little packed, but I remember coming here decades ago when it was the dollar theater and its still pretty darn fun. I cant help but to try and hold back a grin the whole time Im sitting and watching whatever I might be there to enjoy. Its definitely a great place to go catch a flick and get the movie theatre experience for a fraction of the cost. You may have to wait, but its absolutely worth it! Check it out, you wont regret it!
Good theater, cheap and shows set movies. So if you missed it when it first came out you should go here. And the Garland Theater doesnt over charge you for movies like most cinemas do.
Best discount theater ever! The womans bathroom is so cool, seriously though.
Best theater around. Still retains most of its Art Deco style architecture. Shows free movies sometimes. Only five bucks of show, concessions are concessions at a movie theater you know a little extra but they got to make a profit somehow. Well worth buying a popcorn and soda to help support a local business and excellent theater. Up-to-date sound system just as good as any other theater that you pay 15 to 20 bucks for.
Comfortable seating with lots of leg room. It can be a bit chilly so bring a sweater. Prices are great. They very kind employees.
Low key my favorite theater in Spokane... management is chill and laid back and the theater is affordable and comfortable
Local theater with big character mixed with vintage feel. Its worth a visit.
My grandma and her work rent out this place every year for the SuperBowl. The old school environment is awesome
I USUALLY LOVE THE GARLAND. I ASKED THEM TWICE TO TURN THE UPPER LEVEL VOLUME UP. THEY NEVER DID. WE WATCHED FROZEN. THE KIDS WERE ANTSY N NOISEY.
We took the whole family to see Rudolph the Red Nose Reindeer today. I was worried either the crowd we would have to sit apart or worse, they would be at capacity. Obviously I forgot how big it is in there! Clearly nothing to worry about. Comfy chairs and the best prices in town! Sound us pretty good too!!
Just simply go - this is a step into the past when theaters were a destination and a complete experience. Its updated and comfortable.
Watched movies here when I was a kid over 50 years ago. I love being able to have a beer with my popcorn instead of soda. Friendly attendants and very clean theater. Havent been here when dinner is being served yet but really want to try that as well. Two big thumbs up.
Wonderful leg room on the second level of the theatre! Kind staff and enjoyable atmosphere.
Awesome fun! Could use a good cleaning as it does smell a little old. Definitely one of Spokanes must sees!
Went with the kids a couple of weeks ago. It is a historic theater, so it is a bit outdated as far as their chairs, and equipment but worth it with their ticket prices. I heard a rumor they are selling the business, I hope it is not true.
I love this place! So nostalgic. Staff is always awesome and prices are good. My reason for not giving 5 stars is that I wish the sound was upgraded. But I am a life time loyal customer. I love the Garland!
Great movies at fantastic prices.Snacks are outrageously expensive!Buy Walmart and bring with you.Popcorn is the BEST
Very comfortable seating but mostly..... The BEST popcorn in Spokane!
Had work appreciation party..Was fun. Great piece of Spokane history.
Old time theater. Really fun to go to. Very nalstogic.
Local theater, independent, what’s not to like! If you have patience you can see a movie in a theater for 5.00$’s. They have beverages available in the attached bar or the snack bar. Have been here several times and the crowd has never been obnoxious. It’s a great experience. Try it! Check out the website for movies and times.
Excellent and cheap theater. Plenty of seating. Drinks including alcohol are available, as well as concessions.
A great cheap way to go to the movies with your family or friends! One of my favorite movie theaters. Once a month, they have the new movies to come there.
A historical and inexpensive Spokane theater updated fairly recently with an attached restaurant bar.
Great venue for the Spokane International Film Festival! This theater is a gem!
We really enjoy the cheap prices as we are on a very fixed income so it makes for a nice night out with the family
Do they sell beer at this theatre? Find out and get back to me, meanwhile see a great movie at a good price
Nostalgic older theater with a bar attached. Food and drinks are good.
Excellent experience! You can actually afford to go to the movies, including popcorn! The little attached bar is a nice place to wait for your movie to start. We had a wonderful time and are grateful this little gem is still in operation!
It was my first time ever, and Ive been up here for over 4 years. Watching the Polar Express on the movie screen was amazing!!!
As always, The Garland Theater breathes life into our little town, thanks to the dedication of the ownership to remain Spokanes Peoples Theater. Its a gorgeous piece of history, and an incredible contemporary venue for so many occasions. Bravissimmo, Garland Theater!
Love this place but today you guys disappointed me. Please, next time have two people at the cash register, it looks bad when theres only one person doing all the work when theres obviously more employees that can help out so customers like me dont have to end up leaving after missing the first 5 minutes of the movie.
11/20/19 Saw JOKER at 7:10 good movie. Theatre was Very COLD! Bring your ski mask, thermals, gloves, scarfs, hat. Ruined the evening at the movie!
Great price for a movie. The seats have been upgraded.
An iconic theater. Huge credit to the owners who have managed to keep this classic theater going while many have fallen (Lyons Avenue, North Division 6, Newport Cinemas, United Artists, East Sprague and countless Drive In theaters)
Great old theater with friendly staff
Cute little movie theater that I can take my child to for very reasonable prices. These are the prices a theater should have. We had a great time and there are a ton of seats. My husband was able to drink his favorite beer, while watching a movie. Great offerings for a theater that isnt so large. There are usually only a few movies at a time, but its so much fun to just go and do. There is an attached bar, and the employees at the concession stand try their hardest to accomodate your requests. We loved it, and we will be going again. Take your grandchildren and your children old enough to watch.
Awesome place to go to the movies! Between the great ticket price, the low concession stand prices and the fact that you can get beer and wine, its our new favorite theater. Is been remodeled nicely as well and hold lots of people. We will definitely be going there often.
Youre allowed to interact with the movie, so its a different atmosphere than if you go to Regal or AMC. But the food is great. The staff are nice. Its relatively cheap compared to the others as well. Theyre always having deals (summer with free movies), movie marathons (like Ive seen all of the Twilight movies there and a lot of Ghibli movies), cultured movies, and of course cult classics.
This theater needs a deep cleaning and some better lighting. The crowds there are usually moderately friendly and not pushy. The foods good and better price than most other theaters.
Favorite place to see a show
Great for no lines and great cinema and sound..
Great price to go to the movies, especially on Wednesday when they are only $2.50. The concession prices arent bad either.I dont know where else you could take 4 people and get a refillable popcorn, 2 large sodas and two large candies for around $35! And I love the old time feel of the theater!
Always fun to come here. My first movie theatre experience was watching Aladdin at the Garland. Now roughly 25 years later I watched National Lampoons Christmas Vacation and that was a ton of fun. Look forward to doing it again!
A great place for a date on the cheap. Also a good spot to see some nostalgia movies on the big screen. Its clean and the staff is super friendly. Great selection of hot food as well.
We absolutely love this place! Art Decoencore movie house with all the usual movie snacks plus casual food and adult beverage choices too. One of our favorite spots in Spokane!
Best popcorn in town according to my wife.
Good popcorn for a good price, most staff are friendly, and mostly shows good movies. Some of the more adult films should be shown at various times so you can beat the crowds, same with some of the childrens movies. Adults also like to see them, without dealing with the craziness and hundreds of children. Haha. I wish there was also a way that if youre coming to a PG-13 or higher film, you must leave your small children/babies at home with a sitter or something. Its very irritating to hear a screaming child in a theater.
Spokane Treasure! Recent upgrades have given the theater a facelift without losing the charm. Good movie selection... Great and reasonable concession stand... And drinks close by if you are so inclined.
I love the garland theater! I never go to the regular theater because I know that eventually the movies I want to see will show at the garland at some point and it’s worth it to wait and watch it here! The atmosphere is amazing and the bottomless popcorn you can get for $7 is way better than popcorn you can get literally anywhere else! There are so many seats and they have many special events where they play older movies such as the Princess Bride! Usually those movies play on a Tuesday night as well when tickets are only $2.50!
Fun, old theater for discount movies, on second-run basis. Nice lobby, fun decor. Huge theater. Sometimes the seat backs seem too high, but now that my kids are getting taller, its working better for them to see. Theater does have plastic boosters seats for small children. My kids just didnt find these very comfortable, and they were sort of slippy on the fabric seats. Seats have cup holders and moveable armrests. Excellent screen and sound quality. Friendly service. Good concessions.
Super Great place, serves alcohol, food, snacks, and its a pretty relaxed environment. Cheap tickets to boot!
Super cheap movie watching. $2.50-$5. Wine and Beer during the movie. Great historical atmosphere. Favorite theatre.
Great place for cheep movies fun to take kids to
Great old theater with single screen, cheap tickets, second run & classic movies. All kinds of goodies on the menu, including grilled cheese sandwiches, beers, booze, and, of course, popcorn. There was a lot more, but I had already eaten & wasnt hungry at all. Too bad, bc I really wanted to try that grilled cheese.
A staple for entertainment in Spokane. Excellent service and great prices. I love how much love you can feel from the owners and staff. Awesome concession choices and wont cost an are and a leg.
Why pay more when you can have a full size screen and beer at the theater plus really good nachos
Great local theater that also supports the community
Great place for a movie! Been coming for years, and will continue too! Excellent prices.
Such a cute theater! So charming!
Beautiful old theater. Great atmosphere
Great place to take all the kids! Friendly place and we love the bottomless popcorn. So happy the Garland is still open after all this time.
Quick service, clean bathroom, comfy seats
The Garland is an old theater. They may not have recliners or moving arm rests, but they have great staff, great events, and super low ticket prices compared to other movie theaters.
Fabulous for the pricePopcorn was movie theater great
Fun theatre with great prices. The Bon Bon, the attached bar, has inventive cocktails and reasonably-priced small food options.
Vintage theater doing great things like cult classic midnight viewings. A family favorite destination when we want to see a film on the big screen but dont have much to spend.
This was a lot of fun. They have a groovy little bar and it was a great movie going experience for the price. I will be back.
I love this place. Im so glad that they remain so popular.
An excellent theater with an attached bar. They have delicious food and excellent popcorn.A lovely experience alone, with a date, or the family.
The Garland theater was very clean and the kids that were working was very nice and friendly it was a guy and two girls I wish I got there names
For being the cheap priced theater, it is a really nice place. Its a large theater and the upper level has lots of leg room. They have more upscale food and have actual drinks available. The regular concessions used to be moderately priced, but now they are just as much as regal or village centre. Thank washington voters for raising minimum wage. Still though, very nice place
Always show great movies and serve good food. Bar next door.
Great local theater. Serves veer wine and real food. Enjoy historical aspect and realize that generations of Spokanites have enjoyed movies in these seats.
Best deal in town, beer in the theater, too! Love it!
Love this place. Old fashion movie theater seating, lighting, balcony seats, the decor, its how the movies should be, affordable and exciting. Had a great night with my family of 3 and the price tag was under $50, try that at Regal cinemas, a must go!
I love this movie theater! It always makes me feel nostalgic!
My daughter and I saw Howls Moving Castle here. I was shocked at how huge the theater was! They only have one showing at a time, and the theater gets quite full. Its a fun place to watch a movie, because the crowd really gets into the show. You hear lots of laughing and exclamations during the movie. If you are looking for a quiet showing, this wouldnt be the place for you. The shows are inexpensive.
Great for a old theater, they have good grilled cheese sandwiches and pulled pork, along with a decent selection of beer.
Love the Midnight Movies and other classic movie showings here! Watched my daughters favorite movie tonight: Clue
Saw Rocky Horror here, great experience!
Missed it for a long time, an excellent value, a fine single screen cinema
Awesome! Butter and salt your own popcorn and have a mikes hard lemonade in the theatre or a beer. Movie itself is very reasonable! If you can part with the 3d expensive effects and the lounge seats and just want to go to the movies then come support this small business thats been around for years! Love this place.
We love going to the Garland Theatre. The fact that it is in a historical area, the grand architecture and old school vibe only add to the great experience. Not up to the minute with the rest of the feature films out there, but great movies none the less. Very affordable and free matinees on Wednesdays. They seem to have a fairly decent menu of snacks and meal items. Our family really enjoys being able to make our popcorn as buttery as we want, sometimes we go just to have some great popcorn!
Prices 0k. The theater is older with just one theater.. staff excellent . You will enjoy your self.
