Kiggins is an awesome theater that hosts many different shows. Loved attending the vintage toy show today and getting some cool things to add to our collection!

Cheap for how nice it is. Good variety of concessions, including a bar. They generally play movies hard to see elsewhere, which is nice if youre into indie and other such movies. Theater has plenty of leg room and was quite clean when I went. Sound system isnt the best but its not bad.

Wonderful local one screen theater, with a small bar upstairs. Ive been here for private events & films, and would go back. Prices are comparable, seats are actually pretty comfortable, if not slightly rundown (peeling, but in otherwise good condition), and they host some cool film festivals, science nights, and even showings of Rocky Horror Picture Show. Local gem that is well worth a visit.

Popcorn costs (real butter) a lot, but its freaking tasty! Candy is eh fair for a theater and decent selection. Didnt see a movie I wanted to see, but they had a good movie I already had seen playing.

Kiggins is an icon in Vancouver Washington, so grateful its still standing as it holds a lot of memories from my childhood. I love that you can have adult beverages while youre watching a movie and its an old building with a lot of character.

Amazing throwback. It looks and smells and feels like an old theater. They just dont make em like they used to! Staff is always friendly and the showings are affordable.Kiggins supports some lesser known local artists and their art, gotta love it!

The Kiggins is a classic movie theatre in Vancouver with great movies, popcorn, and comfy seats.

I love this place. Old theater thats been renovated but maintains its nostalgic feel. Plenty of parking in surrounding area, but youll have to park on street (possible parallel parking although there are diagonal spaces, too). REAL BUTTER on the popcorn and a variety of movies and shows to see. I attended the Thursday night comedy show and was pleasantly surprised at the caliber of comedians (well worth the entry fee - Ive paid a lot more for a lot less laughs at other places)! Brews and Ciders on tap during comedy show, too. My spouse and kid have become regulars at their Friday Fright Nights, seeing Nosferatu, The Thing and the classic, Piranha. Nosferatu is a silent film accompanied by LIVE musicians - are you kidding me? How COOL is that? My preteen and spouse loved it. Highly recommend!

Visited for the first time last night to attend the “comedy on tap” show offered every second Thursday. I love that they’re bringing comedy to the Vancouver community! While not the best stand-up comedy we’ve ever seen, we did have fun and laughed quite a bit. I was a bit surprised by some of the jokes/themes because the website had listed the event as “all ages welcome” and so I expected it was going to be clean comedy...it was definitely not family-friendly, and I wouldn’t recommend it for “all ages.” We also seemed to be some of the youngest ones there, they seemed to cater to an older crowd and a lot of the jokes reflected that. The theater itself is really nice!

I was extremely surprised how nice and friendly Kiggins has become. The cost of admissions was reasonable, although the concession stand had me holding up my hands thinking I was being robbed. Come on! A medium popcorn, 2 medium drinks, and 2 candy bars was over $30? I highly recommend Linda Ronstand: the sound of my voice Great movies.

What an excellent venue to enjoy a quality film. This is one of the few locations that airs this type. Tonight it was Farewell. People who do not take the opportunity are really missing out. Go online and check out the upcoming presentations.

I loved this Theater. I saw Shaun of the Dead here. Awesome popcorn and a cool bar. The staff are super friendly. You should check this place out. It was built in 1936 and added to the National Register of Historic Places in 2012. It was named after John P. Kiggins the former mayor of Vancouver.

This movie theater is exceptional and outstanding. You can watch some popular new movies but the amazing fact is the variety of special movies. Some good ones you might never have seen before and some you want to watch again and again.The slogan of the theatre is true:Independently minded, community focused.

Great science on tap nights. Love that they renovated and kept the building. Consessions are unfortunately just as costly as any mainstream theater but there is beer, hard cider and pizza available upstairs. You can bring your drinks in the theater.

Review №69

Out of the original twelve this is the only single screen theater left. Second run and Art House films. Take you children so they can experience films the way you and your parents did. They have the best seats in South Washington, so comfortable. They also have the best consesson stand of any theater in the area. Adult beverages up stairs for people that enjoy that, I dont. Super nice staff, thank you ladies. I only noticed two things I was not happy with, the movie was projected in the wrong aspect ratio, hint: titles were slight cut off. And they still have a bit of slap echo, the back of the theater needs some sound deadening material. Relax and enjoy the movie without the kids kicking the back of your seat. Go and support this theater.

Nostalgia abounds in this lovely vintage movie parlor. The seats are modern but they dont clash for some reason. The projector is bright and the sound is big and dimensional. Serving beer and wine in a real glass is a nice treat. Ill be back.

A fun throwback theater that plays tons of unique stuff that you wont see played in other theaters. They serve beer on the second floor and you can bring it into the theater and have a nice buzz while you watch. Tons of candy you will remember from your childhood, I got a strip of four or five Zotz (fizzy candy) for a quarter. Made me feel like a kid again.Go and have a great time.

Great location in the heart of Downtown Vancouver. The Kiggins Theatre had beer and wine upstairs and great updated seating. Its a comfortable place to enjoy a beer and a movie or if you like Science, swing by on the second wednesday of the month for Science on tap. The late night showing of Rocky Horror picture show is also worth checking out.Great old theater, glad to see something like this doing well.
