An amazing oasis in Issaquah. Huge lounge with beautiful retro furniture and huge televisions for watching film or sports upon request. The smash burgers are incredible and the martinis large. They also have a 33-seat theatre that plays first run films as well as oldies. I'll fly back from LA just to come here again!! read more

Date night was fantastic. Delicious smash burgers and house wine. Cushy seating and popcorn delivered during movie. Everything made a lovely evening. read more

What a delightful and intimate experience! Scheduled a girls' night on a weekday and only 2 others had scheduled so the 5 of us essentially had the theater to ourselves. There is spacious seating and tables out by the bar. We ordered food prior and drinks at the bar to bring them into the theater room (or there was an option for them to be brought in with our food). The attached tables at the seats are tiny as others have mentioned so I wouldn't recommend ordering more than 1 item during the show if you want to have room to keep it at your seat. We each ordered a burger (I opted for the plant-based one with a side salad) and it was delicious, flavorful, and filling. Slightly messy but napkins and utensils were provided. We had selected seats in front of the projector room. The seats were comfortable and because of the theater size, you can't go wrong with any spot. Will happily go back! read more

Came here to see the Taylor Swift eras tour movie. They had themed drinks which was fun. Food was good, but messy. The seats have small swivel tables but I found it difficult to eat my app and entree. They don't really come back to grab dishes, so if you ordered for a second drink delivery, you might not have somewhere to put it. Any food or drink you want during the movie you can go back out to the counter to get, or they will take your order for delivery 30 or 60 mins into the movie. Seats were comfortable, screen and sound was good. It's a fun hometown vibe theater. I'd come back just to sit in the bar and eat. 21+ only space! read more

Go to AMC instead! This is a weirdly small intimate theatre with strangers hearing all their mouth noises, also cost more than going to AMC. Cutting corners will cost you and it is apparent at Big Picture. The most glaringly obvious cost was putting red vines in glass cup yet charging more than the amount of them to be in a container. Immediately felt sick after eating them, clearly no sanitary measures taken with these. Would recommend to steer clear and just go to AMC. Gave us sprite after throwing up the red vines but still not a great experience since both of us got sick. read more

SO forget everything you know about movie theaters and head over to The Big Picture. This is a spectacular venue and literally one of my favorite places ever. It's a must visit stop on any trip to Seattle. The theater itself is small but spacious and there's not a bad seat in the house. Front row in particular, normally shunned by theater goers is particularly comfy with the addition of tufted ottomans. Here you can order food and booze that can be delivered to you in your seat at a predetermined time during the performance. You can also have their truffle infused popcorn or THE ABSOLUTE BEST HAMBURGER I have ever eaten. They have a bar, comfy chairs and couches that offer the perfect opportunity to chill before a performance and enjoy some great food & drink. The only drawback is the availability of seating because they do sell out quickly but if you're looking for something really cool to do and are a movie and food fan, I can't possibly give them a higher recommendation. It was well with the $100 in Uber rides to get there from my hotel and I'll be sure to be back soon. read more

Good food, excellent service and great entertainment. I love the small, intimate atmosphere.

I love this theatre so much I don't want to go anywhere else for a movie!! Sound and picture are top notch. I love the intimate feeling of it being so small. It's very clean. It feels safe, cozy and comfortable. Perfect for a date night. The service is excellent. I love the inviting space of their lounge. Anyone can enjoy drinks and smash burgers whether you're seeing a movie or not. Drinks were good and their truffle butter popcorn is just the best. I'd go there just for that!! You can have drinks delivered to you during the show too. I only wish they had more movie times and maybe two options at once. read more

This place is so much fun! The food and drinks are pricey but they're quite tasty. The Lebowski burger with tots is a classic. I recommend their cherry Italian soda if you're looking to stay sober. read more

Loved it. We had a gift certificate from our daughters (they'd gifted us during Christmas Covid, so we weren't able to use it) The Belltown location closed down but they are now open in Issaquah and we finally made it up there. I was nervous about how old the certificate was but they were so gracious. Really nice and welcoming and aesthetic atmosphere. So not only is it a movie theatre but they serve food and have a full bar. Their smashburger was amazing. It is made with waygu beef and it was delicious. Great bun to meat ratio and crisp lettuce and just perfect. It came with tots or chips and of course we chose the tots and they were great. They have a a special sauce that I could eat like soup. Kind of a twist on a classic burger sauce - zesty and perfectly acidic and just delicious. The theater is small and intimate. We got truffle butter and white cheddar popcorn - a combo and it was really delicious. And .... Best part for me was a bodhizafa ipa on draft. So if you're looking for a fun and different movie experience, this is a great spot to try out for a date or something special. And old downtown is really fun to walk around too. read more

I wouldn't see a movie anywhere else, my favorite place to go to see a movie or just hang out and have a cocktail and something to eat. Wonderful staff and cozy atmosphere. read more

This place was really cool. We did a little bar hop to check out the area, so we didn't stay for a movie, but hanging out in the bar was really nice, and the atmosphere is great. We loved the setup and a big bonus for my husband was that they were playing football in the background. We will definitely be back to check out a movie. read more

If you've ever been to iPic in Redmond - this place will be a disappointment in many ways. The pricing is about the same, the food is MUCH better for the $$$ you're paying @ iPIC, and the seats are SO much better. (But - you have to drive to Redmond, so that could be a negative for some). The things we liked about this place: **Smash burger was good (waffle fries were horrible) **Popcorn with cheese dust & truffle butter was outstanding. **Lounge are is super cute. **Staff was very friendly and customer-service oriented. We spent just under $300 (including tickets), and for us, the overall experience wasn't worth it here. And in a few areas it felt like 'gouging.' You can definitely come here and spend much less. It's a convenient option to have for those of us who lives in or near Issaquah, I suppose. But we'll probably continue to visit other options on the east side. read more

Staff is always pleasant, professional and friendly. Venue is small and cozy. Food is good and $10 Tuesdays is worth it!

The Big Picture is a welcome addition to downtown Issaquah! A one screen theater, the Big Picture allows patrons to reserve seats in advance of upcoming show times. Their movie theater has just over 30 comfy seats limited to those 21 and up. When you walk in, the lounge atmosphere is awesome. The bar area has nice seating from couches to tables, a few TVs, and a full service bar. Drinks are movie themed and I recommend the "atomic blonde" cocktail. When you order your first round of concessions, you are offered a mid-movie preorder. We went to see Batman, which had two in-movie services, presumably due to the length of the film. We didn't try the food, but several others appeared to really enjoy the popcorn. Looking forward to going back to the Big Picture! read more

Wow I am impressed with Big Picture. The lobby/bar resembles a fancy hotel with comfortable and elegant furniture, gorgeous new carpet, fine cocktails, and artwork from all over the world. The food and beverage menu is innovative and tasteful. When you get into the theatre you feel as though you just stepped into a comfortable home-theater with a top-of-the-line sound system. My husband and I will be coming back many times. I have no idea how a business turns what this place used to be into what it is now, but dang they did it well! This beautifully detailed theater is exactly what Issaquah needed- entertainment for adults that is not *just* food and drinks. And it's a bonus and pleasure to support small, local businesses. Come check it out! read more

This place is so awesome! We went here last night. It has a great atmosphere. I love the drinks, dinner and a movie concept. The drinks were very tasty! I got the scarlet witch. I would get it again. 10/10 delicious. There was classical music playing. It felt very upscale and fancy. I love the no children concept. I don't want to be around grubby children. And the movie was funny! Check this spot out if your in the area. read more

Not your typical movie theater! Amazing movie house with an intimate, "exclusive" vibe without feeling too high-brow. Limited menu but what they do offer is all on-point. The lounge is comfortable with an art-deco aesthetic; it's worth stopping in just for drinks and snacks even if you don't stay to see a film. Since it's a single-screen they will only show one film at a time, and it only seats about 30 so it's highly recommended to pre-purchase tickets via their website. They rotate films fairly regularly and sometimes do special screenings and private events, so pro tip is to join their email list to hear about upcoming screenings. Big fan of Big Picture! read more

Great place for a date night and also for night outs with friends! We've hosted two birthday parties at Big Picture because it has a really nice, luxurious, and cosy lounge for an easy evening of conversations over drinks and food. The theatre is also perfect for a more intimate setting for movies. read more

Overall it was an okay experience, something we wanted to try and glad we did. It was nice as empty nesters to have a child free evening. I thought of this experience in 3 parts ~ Dinner, Staff/Atmosphere & Movie and will rate them accordingly. Dinner - Disappointing. We got a burger, grilled cheese and shared tots for $35 and it was overpriced for what you get. "Fancy" burger & Grilled cheese presented in a basket like a burger shack on the side of the road and tater tots were cold. For the price should include tots or salad or something. Staff/Atmosphere ~ Music was so loud we could barely have a conversation sitting side by side and we were the only ones there besides the owners, their guests and other staff. We felt like the staff was snatching up our dishes before we had a chance to even set them down. Very kind and had good humor but still unsettling. Movie ~ nice seats, small setting, very clean and spacious. The option to have snacks delivered during the movie was nice and when they did deliver to others it was unobtrusive. read more

Love this theatre. Every seat in the house is a good one. Excellent service, cocktails and food. Highly recommend.

Great place to see a movie! Cozy small theater with comfortable seats, a fun cocktail list, and delicious popcorn! The lobby is a warm and welcoming space to sit and have a drink before or after your movie. The staff was absolutely lovely and gave me an impression that they were passionate about their theater and giving everyone a great experience. Felt much more intimate than going to your standard Cineplex. Will certainly be making the drive out here from Seattle for future films! read more

It had such great potential. But they fell short. The burgers weren't bad. The sides are not so good. The drink pours were very shallow. But the most important lack is the service. They made a mistake with me, and tried to gaslight me into believing they didn't forget to bring me my food. Ha! lol First, they said they already brought it while I was out there asking .... then said it would come soon. So an hour and 15 minutes into the show there it was and they still didn't own up to a mistake or try to give me any compensation for that. When I asked for something like a glass of wine, they brought me a glass of peanut M&Ms. Don't like peanut M&Ms. Also, the chairs are very squeaky and could disrupt the movie throughout the theater periodically. But again, mostly... The service. That's why we're paying more for a theater like that, and I was highly disappointed. This was my second visit to the theater and my second poor experience. In this case, two strikes and you're out. read more

Big Picture is a very elevated movie theater experience. We felt really taken care of by the owner Mark- he was very friendly and personable. You can tell that him and his Wife really care about this Theater. The theater it self was cozy, seats were comfortable and it also was very clean as well! read more

Just wow! This place is just amazing. First of all, it's not one of those huge, cavernous theaters where at times, things are just too big. The theater is intimate but before you think "ok, intimate is fine if I want to watch The Remains of the Day" but not something loud like "Top Gun: Maverick" think again. I was lucky enough to be given a private screening of 3 different trailers just so I could check out the sound. The theater is live!! Sound bounces are the right times but never so much that you want to bring earplugs. You can feel the sound in your bones. And it's a clear sound, no distortions. Add to that The Big Picture's list of cool drinks and tasty Smashburgers... this is going to my my "go-to" theater from here on out! read more

I had a vision of how I wanted to propose. A while ago, my then girlfriend had once turned to me on the couch and said 'I think one of my absolute favorite things to do is to come home after work, sit down with you, have a glass of wine and watch a movie'. So my vision was to surprise her with a candlelit movie theater just for us. And Big Picture made that vision a reality; they made that special day just absolutely perfect. The theater is owned by some of the most earnest and rare people you will meet, Mark and Katie. As soon as Mark heard my idea, he was already coming with the beats of how it would all go down; what we would say, how we would enter. His improv chops from back in Chicago roared to life haha! We practiced every move we'd make upon my future fiancé and my entrance, how he'd casually say 'oh you're a little early, we open in just a few minutes, but you might want to just head in the theater early to grab seats'. Mark and his wife had come in and opened much earlier than normal and had helped my sister and mom set up tea lights, large battery candles, champagne, special truffle cheddar popcorn the theater made in a champagne bucket, a dolly cart of charcuterie, flower petals, the works! Katie even timed the music perfectly to start as we walked into the theater. I proposed, she said yes (whew!) and after much embracing, Mark came in to pop the champagne. He even made specialty cocktails for us during the film (he made an impromptu killer spicy marg for Rachel). And afterwards told me HE had trouble sleeping the night before! He did and he's not even the one proposing haha! Needless to say, even if the theater wasn't incredible and cool and boutique, go there for Mark and Katie. But the thing is the theater and space IS incredible and cool and boutique! They have a lounge full of beautiful antique furniture, a cocktail bar straight out of a speakeasy, and theater that Mark personally oversaw the construction of with the help of two Dolby engineers. This place is an absolute gem that I'm so glad we found. Do yourself a favor and grab tickets here to watch the next big summer movie. I know we'll be back! Thank you again for everything, Mark and Katie! read more

We hosted a Top Gun Maverick watch party this past weekend with 30 people total and had an amazing time! We picked up some pizzas to eat and mixed and mingled with specialty cocktails from the bar for an hour before the movie started. The theater itself is intimate and has an amazing sound system. If you want to host an unforgettable party, consider renting out the entire theater. The price is right, your guests will love it, and you will create incredible memories. The owners, Mark and Katie, are the consummate hosts and so welcoming. Cheers! read more

My husband and I have been going to Big Picture for years. We started visiting them at Redmond Town Center and then followed them to the Bell Town location. . My brother was visiting from Toronto, Canada and we dove an hour to their Issaquah location, so we could have him experience this venue. The owners Mark and Katy talked with us and made our visit more special and memorable. Needless to say , we all had an amazing evening and made such a great memory. I highly recommend this venue. It's an amazing experience. We had a fabulous evening, great food, drink and experience. Thank you! read more
