Want to watch a movie with your friends during the pandemic? Rent a screen at The Loft! We recently did this with a group of friends and it was great! Setting it up was easy, staff was great to work with, reasonable safety protocols in place, and if you split it with everybody, the cost is reasonable. Great way to support a local business and do something fun during the pandemic.

We rented Screen 1 last night for a small group of cousins to watch an old Bogart and Hepburn movie. The theatre was spotless, the employees were wonderful, everyone practiced social distancing and mask wearing. I took some snacks and we bought wine and popcorn at the concession counter. So fun and different, all of us enjoyed every minute. Thanks for great entertaining idea! We love The Loft!

The Loft is a Tucson treasure that sadly, many local Tucsonans take for granted. Where else can you grab local eats and drinks and watch the latest, cutting edge films. Not to mention their virtual reality experiences! Nowhere else but The Loft I tells ya.

A huge part of the community. Showing older and Indy movies normally, they also host a number of events like sing a longs, director Q&As, etc. They have lots of documentaries and local stuff and foreign and film festival items.Beautiful theatres, very comfy. Great local foods, does sell alcohol.During the pandemic doing private theatre rental, curbside concessions, streaming rentals, and outdoor movies. Great flexibility and creativity!Love having a membership. Much loved part of the community.

Perfect experience as always! You can tell they really enjoy their jobs there, and Im sure having Kevin Smith and Jay Mewes hanging out all night doesnt hurt that enjoyment level! Good snacks, good soda, good atmosphere, and the size of that screen! Highly recommended!

The Loft is an oasis in a desert of thoughtless entertainment. Youll always find some form of community involvement because they ARE the community. Independent movies, theme nights, film festivals, free screening in the park, documentaries, sing a longs, movies with live accompanied orchestral, costume contests without it being Halloween, free kids movies during the summer, concessions from local businesses. I could go on and on. They show Labyrinth and Princess Bride once a year for the love of God, do I have to say anymore? Because they love our community they stayed closed during the pandemic and opted to offer movies via streaming, they just recently opened to show outdoor screening only ( I went to watch Peewees Big Adventure. Ya, I know). If they arent screening something thought provoking, or an old B movie, or cult classic, or Live action Rocky Horror Picture show, its something equally as heartfelt and intentional. It is a community funded theater and that shows in everything they do. The movie goers are just as interesting and diverse and the films they show. It truly is a privilege to have The Loft to enjoy and call my own.

Great movie party rental!Thanks Sue and The Loft.Social distancing and masks.

My favorite movie theater but, alas, no screenings in person for me these days. In the meantime they offer some great films to stream and the best pandemic-season t- shirt of 2020. Get yourself an Intermission, Please Stand By shirt to show your support.

Open Air Cinema was great! Everyone masked and more than 6ft apart. First time seeing a movie since February, and well be going again!

I miss this place so much! Great beer selection and great films.

Love this place never would of gone if it wasnt for the Rocky horror picture show after my first show here Ive been going every time I can

I love this place! They show all best and worst movies. The staff is always super nice and the snacks and beverages are top tier. Definitely consider buying a membership here, you will not regret it.

I hadnt been to the loft in aw while and now Im considering joining. They bring excellent and interesting movies. I saw fantastic fungi (please go see this movie, its amazing) and its great to be able to have discussion with friendly strangers - exactly the vibe created by the loft. The food choices are above and beyond the poison they serve up at regular theaters. I had a wrap from Cafe desta, and I love that they support local by offering good from Tucson restaurants. This is a great Tucson gem!

The production of “Cats! the Musical” was by far the best thing I have ever done with my time and money. I wish I could watch “Cats!” on a continuous loop for every single minute of my entire life until I too eventually turn into a half-human, half-cat mutant and can strut along side the cat versions of Taylor Swift and Jason Derulo forever.

My best friend and I went to see The Lost Boys and it was such an amazing experience! The entire theater (INSIDE & OUT) is so beautiful! And every employee was so happy and helpful! I love this place! Thank you Loft Cinemas for such a great night. Im coming back!

The loft has always been a staple of my movie going experiences in Tucson. Its a classic theater and originally the largest Tucson. Theyve updated it with current hardware while maintaining the charm of the original place. The staff are always kind and the prices of concessions are always reasonable. They treat members really well and have lots of fun screenings. If you havent been to the loft before you definitely need to go.

I enjoy many of their movies. I keep looking to their monthly newsletter new and interesting to choose what I might like to watch. I also appreciate that they have major Motion Picture releases occasionally, along with the documentaries, Classics, foreign films and other unusual films that are their bread and butter The new 70 mm projection system in theater 1 is amazing. Two of their three theaters are wheelchair accessible, and I appreciate being able to track which movies are in which theater on their website before I go there. I enjoy eating the Frescas pizza slices that they sell in the evenings.

A great non main stream movie theater. Check listings as they have all kinds of films and events here. I like going to their First Friday Shorts event every month.

The Loft is kind of magical. My friends and I regularly drive to Tucson from Phoenix just to come here. They’ve got the best selection of films and things that can’t be seen nearly anywhere else.Plus, Scream-o-Rama, Mondo Monday’s, The Lost Film Festival, on and on. The Loft doesn’t disappoint. Thanks to everyone behind the scenes here.

One of Tucsons gems, the Loft is that perfect mix of old and new. The perfect date night or mother-daughter outting. The staff is passionate about cinema, as well as the local brew selection on tap or in the can. Check out their memberships for some great deals and support our local loves.

A favorite spot and they have the BEST popcorn

They have such a great and eclectic choice of movies. You can find literally any type of film from foreign to documentaries to mainstream. They also have great film festivals as well as special events. We love being members as you get reduced ticket prices ($6 compared to $9.75) as well as free popcorn and other perks and discounts.

Amazing independent theater and treasure for Tucson. Great variety of films, old and new, and supports local filmmakers too. Great beer, wine, and some food too. Check it out!

Were so fortunate to have this movie house. This is one of the best businesses in Tucson. Go see a movie you couldnt see anywhere else in town, enjoy an event or screening with several hundred people who appreciate this place and what they do, have a local beer while youre at it.

Great place on a rainy night. Smaller theater made for a more personal and cozy feel! And the popcorn was delish... was that real butter?

Great place to join lifelong learners who seek and FIND alternatives to mainstream entertainment consumption. Beer or Kombucha, popcorn or 70% cacao chocolate... ENJOY the whole experience.

Great venue. The staff is friendly, helpful and fun. Excellent selection of films from popular to indie. Yummy concession choices!Recommend becoming a member.

Next time I go to the Loft, I will remember to take a jacket! I was trying to stay warm and would have enjoyed the show more if I wasnt so cold. Also, eat before you go, as the pickings are pretty slim.

Old fashioned movie theater. Dont like their popcorn. Movie was great as is often the case!!

Clean theaters... Super comfortable seats... A great concession experience... And always top-notch Cinema

I love The Loft Cinema so very much! I love working there!! The Loft Cinema is the best!!

Loved Ram Das film Becoming Nobody. Very transformational! Please bring more spiritual films to the theater. So important in these decisive days in our world.Thank you for making a difference.

Color Out of Space. Gel tabs. An awesome audience. Its the darndest thing. Need more stars.

Best cinema in Tucson. I love the sense of community at this place. Best place to see amazing movies that the regular theaters dont show. Also, beer!

Hoping you reopen soon!!! Ready to come see some good films on the big screen!!!

This is definitely a great place to see a movie. Wish it wasnt so far from me. But theyve always got a good selection and theyre always showing special events like older classics and or B type movies a few times a week. Great snack bar with beer. The employees are very nice! I will continue to keep going here whenever I can.

This feels like a film lovers theater. There are great snacks, better movies and their live events (KEVIN SMITH) are a bright spot in our towns cultural scene.

Saw Repo Man here, visiting from Seattle. What a nice setup! The moment you step into the theater, its straightforward and to the point. The theaters huge, the quality is great, and the people working there are just awesome!

Just visited for the first time and I really enjoyed the visit. Love the fact that its a small theater and doesnt have the hype that the larger theaters have.

My praises for The Loft Cinema, are quite lofty! The Loft Cinema hosts so many wonderful events, that are a staple to my schedule every year.I am a huge fan of their Hocus Pocus event at Halloween, the Very Merry Holiday Singalong Spectacular at Christmas, the throwback movies in-between, and the over-the-top redonkulous Mondo Mondays. I mean havent you always wanted to see a crummy movie and been able to yell out your comments and complaints audibly? Well here you can. Whenever I am at the Loft Cinema, its never just a movie. Its an experience, and I feel like I have found my people! Its a bit of what makes this wonderful city my home.The Loft Cinema is a key part of the threshold of Tucson, and I hope you check it out, and/or return often!

Such a cool mom & pop movie theater. Its got a great feel and I always enjoy going here.

One of the best indie cinemas in the country. If youre a tourist, check it out. If youre a local and can afford it, become a member.

Love old style theaters! The Loft did not disappoint. Beers, snacks, comfy seating, and a nice screen to round it up!

Fun vibe. Nonprofit. Throwback movies and friendly staff. Saw Little Women and the whole theater was sniffling audibly when Meg died. Why does she have to die?

Fun theater with old time movies, new low budget films, and more. Alcohol here isnt really worth the price for what you get. Id recommend drinking before then bringing some snacks. Seating here is close together and not super comfy, but its worth it. Overall cheap tickets and fun experience.

Excellent, modern screen, projector and sound quality paired with hometown old school theatre feel. Including a stage that makes events like performer/director Q & A sessions, the Loft is Tucsons best place to view cinema.

A classic - geared toward the dedicated cinephile This small, older, unique theater brings both off-the-beaten-path independent, foreign, short and quality popular films to a Tucson that doesnt appreciate it enough. It was my guilty pleasure in college 30 years ago as Id use my lunch money to slip away between classes to enjoy a matinee. I dont have to sneak away or skip lunch anymore, but I sure do love an afternoon movie at the Loft.Over the years, this non-profit arthouse theater has expanded their portfolio by organizing gatherings, adding club memberships, supporting special events, regularly showing science and journalism films, sing alongs and Oscar watching parties, and the Loft Film Festival. I dont need an excuse to go, but Im happy that every time I do, Im supporting independent film and keeping this treasure in Tucson.

I LOVE THIS PLACE!!!! I am so proud to say that I went to Rocky Horror Picture Show when I was 16, many many moons ago, and was able to take my 16 year old son to the last showing. The actors were hilariously PERFECT and I cant wait to go again!!! Thank you Loft Cinema, and the local cool kids, for keeping this show alive all these years

My favorite place to go watch a movie! Fun events like youtube cat videos and free cartoon matinees for the kids in the summer.

Great films you cant usually see anywhere else.

Authentically retro. None of the cushy bells and whistles of the newer style theaters, but I found it fun and refreshingly different. They show interesting films that might not be shown elsewhere. Good spot.

Clean, cozy, comfortable, and great selection of films. Very warm employees! But best was the prices!

This plane is great! They curate their movies so well. I recommend trying to see the movie youre interested in on screen 1. They have a 70 mm projector available there there, very comfortable seats with fold-away arm rests, and the screen itself is huge.On top of everything they have good beer available and pretty decent food options. Tucson should be extremely thankful to host this establishment.

The Loft is awesome! Its a landmark that makes living in Tucson even more enjoyable!Theres movies for all types of film buffs. Great film festival and local providers of refreshments! The staff is kind and helpful.

Great movies, docs, shorts, indies . . . and free popcorn (only if youre a member)

Went here for the Grease sing-along; looking forward to visiting again.

Quirky staple of the community. Chill place to let your freak flag fly (or just witness other freak flags). Great venue for cult movies. Awesome organic popcorn and draught beer. Get there early if you want a good seat because the shows tend to sell out.

Very friendly staff, lots of smiles. We went for a Loft Jr movie, so sometimes its a bit rough with a ton of kids, but it was great. Lots of fun and will definitely go back.

It consists of three theaters. The main theater has recently been updated and is comfortable with excellent viewing and sound. The upstairs theater show some wear and tear. Its smaller but still an enjoyable venue. The one negative side is there is no sound barrier from the downstairs area, so when the large theater empties out or open for a show, you can hear the patrons downstairs. Prices are good and they serve adult beverages. They do not show new releases but a huge selection of classics, cult classics, documentaries, indie films, and weekend cartoons. A great theater that with a little more support, to continue upgrading, will get my fifth star.

Another awesome place to go in Tucson. Not your regular theater experience. Lots of indipentant films, documentaries, old movies, and everything else. They have beer, food, ice cream, and a great outdoor area to hang out and wait for a movie. Its worth checking out. They have a variety of different membership options which helps keep them in business. They have pre-screening shows depending on the membership tier, and some rad shirts too.

Love the loft. Especially Mondo Mondays and first Friday shorts.

Love this theater, I saw Godfather 1 and 2 there for the first time in 2008. They show a good variety of foreign and independent movies. They also serve alcohol.

Great movie and nice venue. Fair price on concessions, too. Thats a nice change from other movie theaters.

As a first time viewer at the Loft I found it fun and warm and friendly. Look forward to seeing more shows.

I always love supporting the loft. They have great fan flicks and old, campy movies.

A superbly designed, well kept and most unique place to find some of thee most eccentric movies. Plus they have a great selection of food and beer that’s wide in variance. I loved all parts of it! Thx!

Adorable, cheap (with student discount!) movie theater that shows the art-house movies you won’t find anywhere else. What’s not to love?

Great selection of concessions, friendly staff, intimate setting, fantastic experience!

This place is amazing! I love the aesthetics of watching movies this way.

I have been getting used tires in here for years the place is great

The best place to catch indie flicks in Tucson. They have good food choices and you can order beer and wine! Be sure to get the upstairs theater - they have couches for seating in the first 2 rows.

Classic old school cinema perfect for true afficianados! Great selection of indie, documentary, cult classics and contemporary films

Gave me and my family popcorn a soda and a movie to enjoy at the theater. The movie was free so we only paid for the popcorn.

One day they will upgrade the experience into a more modern feel, but until then will always be a supporter.

Funky theater. I mean that on a nice way. I love watching my faves and some of my new faves on the big screen.

I wish the service here was nicer, because I love the idea of an independent theater. But I guess this is their thing: most of the employees having an attitude...? They certainly have nice snacks and drinks to offer at concessions. And an intriguing movie selection.. It just sucks that service with a smile is way too much to ask here.

We took the kids here for a free movie during the hot summer. They have a kids summer movie series each year. They gave all of use free tickets, free popcorn and provided a free kids activity before the movie started. Also, they gave each of my kids a free comic book. The theater was nice, kinda of old school but cool nonetheless. I noticed that they sell draft craft beer - will have to come back for an adults night to enjoy that. This place oozes positive energy, all the workers were really nice and accommodating. We will be back to the wonderful Loft cinema in Tucson!!!

The Loft has been a wonderful part of Tucson for decades. My 8 year old and I enjoyed the summer free movies on Saturday, thank you Loft!

Unique experience as far as a theater goes. Plays movies that are culturally relevant regardless of how old. Not a lot of space to move between isles.

I think this place is too trendy for me. If youre going for just a movie, its fine. They play old movies and cult classics, and host things like art shows, which makes it unique. The theaters themselves, in my experience, are average. Food is neither good or inexpensive.

This place was amazing. I was here quite a few years ago. Staff is so much fun. Bohemian Rhapsody Sing a Long was awesome.

This is by far my favorite theater in Tucson. The theaters are unique, the staff friendly, movies always of an incredibly high quality, and the experience is usually off-beat and unique. For example, the Mondo Mondays; cheap prices for awful cult movies that everyone loves to laugh at. Additionally, there are the First Friday Shorts, a collections of community made films that encourage an interactive audience. And thats only two of the many activities at the loft.

Staff is horrible, not well maintained as in (cleanliness) womans bathroom is always dirty.

Yow! Simply awesome. The Loft is our new best friend. Beer and wine, snacks like organic popcorn, a great main viewing room and large screen, excellent sound system, cool kids at the counter, and even an outside cafe table area for kicking back before and after your film experience.The Loft Cinema has a nice eclectic film schedule in addition to new releases of the first kind. If I lived within a half-hour of the theater Id be a weekly regular. I live 1.5 hours away and will definitely make it a regular stop for my bi-weekly shopping visits. We saw the new flick, Free Solo, and it was superb on the big screen.

I love this place. When I go here, I feel like I am watching a movie in the co fort of my own living room. The space is intimate and the movies are more intellectual and off main stream films produced to just make a buck.

I enjoyed the movie, the theater and the company

Very pleasant experience. Im a Tucson native who had never taken time to experience the Loft Theater. My loss. The theater has recently remodeled and its beautiful and comfortable inside. The concession stand is well stocked and the staff friendly and helpful. You must visit this local gem.

Best arthouse cinema in the country.

Its got character =) was a nice place to go for a movie

I’ve been to The Loft dozens of times and usually have had a good time. A few times the audience had been so loud and obnoxious it detracted from the movie, but that just happens at public movies sometimes.Recently though I went to a Mondo Movie night for a date with my boyfriend on what appeared to be a quiet night. After getting drinks and food in an almost empty lobby, we went to sit in the theatre. We had been looking forward to this movie for a few weeks.To our surprise, the theatre was PACKED with rowdy patrons, with maybe four visible seats scattered throughout the theatre. It was a chaotic scene.When we went back to the main counter, we let the employee know that we had come to see a movie together and we weren’t able to sit together because the theatre was nearly full. They informed us they would give us our money back this time but not before making it very clear that TECHNICALLY there were still several available seats. I told them I thought they should let people know if the theatre was filling up and their answer was basically that they were giving me what I wanted so what was the problem? Clearly the problem was that I don’t want to plan a date night at a theatre weeks in advance only to be casually sold tickets to a overly-full theatre. The only thing we could have done was come earlier and found a seat somewhere before the rest of the raucous crowd showed up, but honestly that movie experience sounds miserable. It was an incredibly condescending way for that employee (Candace) to handle the situation and although I’ve had many interactions with other employees over the years (exceedingly friendly ones) this altercation left a very unpleasant taste in my mouth. I can see why some people would enjoy coming here, but I don’t think this is the kind of place I want to support anymore. After spending over $20 on snacks and drinks, the least they could do is simply give us our money back, without trying to make some kind of point about their policies and theatre seating logistics. They made it sound like this is something that could happen again, and next time they may not give our money back. No thanks. I’d rather watch a movie literally anywhere else.

This is a true gem of The Old Pueblo. From mondo mondays to documentaries you cant see outside the circuit, this place has it all. The entire staff is amazing, the food is great, and the atmosphere tops any regular cinema even lounge style theaters

The Loft is the best place in Tucson to go see a movie. From the wide selection of movies shown to the friendly and helpful staff to the fact that theyll sell you a beer as big as your head, its a good place. If you can support an independent theater like the loft, and especially one as good as the loft, you should do it.

Great theater. Especially. for artsy films!

Great theater popcorn and adult beverages.

Movies for thinking, feeling. What a concept. Great movies that generate discussion and dont always end as expected. Film festivals, Monday is cult movie night at 8 for cheap. Sometimes directors presents at some screenings. Three screens at main locations. Sometimes movies shown on a drive in, or at Himmel park. Locally owned and operated (I think). Movie posters available at times. I believe the main screen is still the largest art screen in the US. Use their website it find what is playing today. Screen too is a bit small, but it does have a couch in the front. No kidding.

I love this place. Ive been a loft member and I really enjoyed it, I love how this theatre loves Tucson and its people. They host really fun movie events, and have great selections. Also I highly recommend First Friday night shorts, never a let down, always hilarious.

Saw Princess Mononoke here recently and it was awesome. Beats any theater in Tucson.

Every time I go to see Rocky Horror, this is the place. Good drinks, good food, and not even gouging prices.

Very organized for the Jay and silent bob event

It is always a treat to go to The Loft. The movies shown at The Loft are not always available for viewing at the conventional theaters. The Loft is a charming place. As members, we love getting the free popcorn, and my husband said that the pizza, which comes from Fresco Pizza, is of gourmet quality.
