Nice little theater with an old school feel. Intimate, smallish screens with good sound. They offer both independent and studio productions. Wednesday tickets are only $8. The popcorn sports real butter. read more

See all

My favorite movie house in the area! Small "art house" (most of the time) theater in the area, and one that shows current movies that aren't blockbusters. I have seen "I'm Still Here" "Black Bag" "Becoming Led Zeppelin" "September 5," and others here and constantly on the computer to see what's there. With two screens, real butter on the popcorn, and the sale of beer and wine, it's the best theatre I have found! read more

This place is a gem. All the bells and whistles of a big name theatre but more unique and quant, plus wine and beer! The smaller screening room is intimate and comfortable like we were in a decked out home theatre with space for everyone. It was perfect for my 5 year old's birthday and the 35 kids and parents that came to watch Puss in Boots 2. The kids with their popcorn, candy, and drinks trays, just made themselves at home. The owner and staff were so incredibly accommodating, making it easy to sit back, relax, and enjoy the movie. Awesome experience and a birthday to remember forever. Will definitely go back for just a midday movie or date night. read more

Firehouse Theater - The smaller screen room, perfect size for a group - Cinema Near Me - Kingston, Washington

So lucky to have this amazing theatre close by. They have great snacks and beverages, comfortable and clean seating, great sound, and plenty of parking. We really enjoy seeing movies here. read more

First time here as we're new to area. Quaint small town theatre. Friendly staff. They had more refreshments then I'd imagine and we were impressed with the prices...didn't try to gorge us! Make sure to stop by if still open after May 2022...I read they weren't renewing lease unfortunately. read more

The firehouse theater is the movie place in Kingston and certainly has a very small hometown feel to it, nothing like the big movie complexes like Regal, and the others. It's actually an old fire station turned into a theater. It used to have a restaurant right next door. But that's been empty for a few years now since the restaurant has moved to Silverdale. The theater owner has always tried to make sure that this theater has something unique and has continued to provide an opening dialogue about the theater, current movie, and upcoming movies. I think he's generally spot-on in his assessment of each movie that I've ever seen at the theater that he has given a preview recommendation about. It's important that the movie goers support the theater by purchasing from the concession stand. His concessions are pretty pricey, but it is how he keeps a theater in business in this small community. His tickets are a bit pricey. But if you go during the matinee you'll get a pretty good deal. Today I saw Wonder Woman. It definitely is a Blockbuster movie, with all the cast members, special effects, and things of that nature. I really appreciate the fact that the female cast was strong and it was directed by a woman as well. There were obviously lots of special effects, but my favorite really was the cinematography. There were just some really visually beautiful scenes. There are always two movies playing at this theater in the separate rooms, but occasionally he'll mix it up and he'll play three or more on a given day. I like the fact that he usually will have a big movie that has received lots of commercial attention, while at the same time have a movie that is a little bit more obscure showing as well. read more

We went on a Wednesday afternoon to see the latest Indiana Jones and what a great deal and cool smaller movie theater. The popcorn was delicious and my entire family enjoyed the experience at this unique theater! Friendly service! read more

Went to see a movie there for the first time Saturday evening, live how close it is to our house. Perfect size theater so you there's never a bad seat. Owner was lovely, very accommodating with plenty of snacks and wine. Yay.l!!! read more

This theater is an absolute gem in so many ways. It has great movies with a much more intimate feel than you will get anywhere else....and I mean anywhere! The owner will come and tell you what the low down is on coming attractions, and they have just a few previews (I hate those anyway). And real butter on the popcorn! Wicked cool! Best popcorn within miles and miles! This theater also shares the building with Cafe Neo, which is a really big bonus....great food, great atmosphere, and a well stocked bar! We hit both places tonight, and it was magical. The weather outside was close to a 10 on the "it sucks" scale of 1-10, but a great evening was had anyway! You should go, we will be returning over and over again. read more

5 Words: Real Butter On The Popcorn! Homeslice has a big bowl on a warmer behind the counter with STICKS OF BUTTER waiting to take a dive into the warm pool of deliciousness. The theaters themselves are relatively small and definitely old school. Still, a fabulous concession stand, first run films, a super knowledgeable staff, and the opportunity to support an independent film house makes the Firehouse our go to theater. read more

Cozy but clean, popcorn...and wine and beer! And a great movie to boot. Perfect date night destination!

Planned an evenIng out to a movie with friends, website said they were open. Came to support a local theater. We were turned away by rudeness. We will not be back. I will drive to Regal Cinema in poulsbo and never go back to the Kingston Theater again. Small theaters are an endangered species , the foul mouthed man behind the counter just lost my business and about 10 other local Kingston residents. Rude rude rude. Never again. Good luck behaving that way to your local customers. Update your website if you plan on closing but don't be a jerk to people. read more

The theater is genuinely lovely. The main stage has maybe 100-ish seats and they have a smaller second screen as well. You can rent the entire theater for much cheaper than you would think. Prices for general admission are inexpensive compared to other theaters around. They have delicious popcorn made with real butter. The people who work there are so kind and helpful. A really wonderful place to experience a movie. read more

First movie after a year of staying indoors, and what better place than the Firehouse Theater? We ordered tickets a week prior and arrived to what felt like a quaint, miniature version of an AMC or Regal theater. The concessions stand was ample though, offering even almond M&Ms, etc were delicious. The popcorn was outstanding, and the butter was just right. The couple screen rooms they have are snug but the screens themselves are sharp and lacked nothing compared to larger rivals. I recommend the Firehouse Theater for anything that isn't a must-see in IMAX, I love it there. read more

It was my first time at this theatre and while I appreciated the indie aspect of the theatre there were issues. The screen is small and perhaps not standard dimensions so some portion of the picture was cut off which was slightly annoying. It became really bad because there were many subtitles in the movie (Russian characters speaking native tongue in the english movie) and everything below the first line of the subtitles was cut off. In addition, my husband who was sitting in the front row for more leg room found the texture (?) of the screen distracting (sort of causing pixelation). PS: the theatre was REALLY cold! I will not come back unless this is the only theatre showing the movie we want to see, and if so... I'll definitely bring a blanket! read more

I made a great discovery today. I wanted to see "Moon", a new film in limited release. Generally with these sort of films my only options are to venture down into the parking hell that is downtown Seattle. But when searching for showtimes, I saw it was playing in Kingston, just across the water from my hometown of Edmonds. I didn't even know Kingston had a movie theater. Well, it turns out, they do. It just opened a couple months ago. It is definitely on the cozy side, but features comfortable stadium seating. As an added surprise, the owner (seriously!) walked in a few minutes before the movie started and spoke to us about it, told us of other upcoming shows they were having, and chatted with the crowd a bit (there were maybe two dozen of us present, mostly film buffs from the look of us.) This is a great place and I will most certainly be back. Restrooms are shared with the restaurant next door, which looks to be worth checking out as well! read more

Yes, Kingston has a theater and they serve real butter on their popcorn! You won't be able to see movies the week they are released, but you will be able to see them a couple weeks later. The owner Craig, is a real fan of Cinema and he has poured his heart and soul into making the experience pleasant for his audience. He often introduces the film before showing it and sometimes has discussion forums after the film. read more

The Firehouse Theater is a place with character and charm! Once a fire station as the name suggests, the hall was renovated into a movie theater. The atmosphere is small-town and personal with the owner giving a real-life introduction to the movie you're about to see along with some interesting tid bits about the film and/or actors. I have seen two movies here and have enjoyed both experiences. Good popcorn and the selection of movies playing seems to be well thought out. This is a plus considering there are only two screens. I'm happy Kingston has its own movie theater now! On a side note, it also looks like the theater puts on some special events tailored for holidays and special occasions. read more

We are so lucky to have this place in Kingston. So agree with the post below, that it epitomizes the best in small town movie theaters. The seats are comfy, the popcorn delish, the staff friendly. The most charming thing about the place is that, at least when we've been there (usually Saturday nights) the owner gives a short talk just before the movie begins, with interesting tidbits about it, its cast, etc. He's a guy who clearly loves and is knowledgeable about movies and that attitude permeates the place. read more

This is the epitome of a small town movie theater. I was visiting Kingston on Memorial Day weekend. My partner was tasked with taking his sisters and mother shopping. Not wanting to do the whole shopping thing, I opted to accompany his brother to see a movie. I was surprised not only at the cleanliness of the theater but with the friendliness of the staff as well. It was only $25 for two tickets, two pops, a candy and a popcorn. THAT is a bargain these days with most theaters charging $10 to $12 bucks a head just to walk in. Kingston is a great little town and this quaint Firehouse Theater exudes all the charm to be had. Check it out, you won't be disappointed. read more

Such a sweet place! Would recommend anyone looking to go to the movies to go here! The guy gives a speech before the movie and it's so personable and fun! read more

This is one of the cleanest and most intimate theaters I have ever been in. They show every movie you would want to see or is relevant. Craig is also going to show some World Cup Soccer there. And ESPN is carrying it in 3D...USA vs. England you'd better believe that is going to be crazy. read more

My family loves The Firehouse Theater in Kingston. Craig, the owner, will come out a few minutes before the movie starts to talk with us about the movie we came to see, the actors and director. The popcorn has REAL butter! Craig has special showings at the theater too! When part 2 of the Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows came out, he ran part 1 ahead of time for a discounted ticket. Not only that, but many of us got dressed up as our favorite Harry Potter characters. It was so much fun. He opens the theater up for plays as well. He also does a lot within the community including fieldtrips. Its in a great location, close to the ferry if you live in Edmonds (just a short ride over, and a quick walk up the block). Close to our schools (for walking-fieldtrips). When my sister came out for the holidays a few years ago, she wanted to take my kids to see The Cave of Forgotten Dreams. She figured we would have to go into Seattle to see it. Nope! The Firehouse Theater was playing it and we were so happy to have it right here in Kingston. Its always clean and everyone is very friendly. We always check to see if The Firehouse will get a movie we want to see before we go anywhere else. read more

We came to Firehouse Theater to see Star Wars. We didn't want to go to any chain theaters and the theaters where you can drink were all sold out (boo)! Have to say, we were very happy with our experience at Firehouse Theater. Surprisingly, it was low-key for the second day of Star Wars being out. Theater was not crowded, clean, and quaint. There was actually an introduction given by one of the staff members before the movie came on, which I thought was very neat! Theater is inexpensive compared to others and the seats were comfy! All in all, a nice small town, charming theater. It didn't blow me away but we would definitely go back! read more

This is a great place! I live in Kingston, and I am very glad there is a theatre near by. It is small, but Kingston is a small town and I'm sure if we all give it enough business it can grow. I went and saw Transformers. The owner was very friendly and I had a blast watching the movie. I really hope this place takes off because I think it is awesome! They have snacks and pop corn, and they also have a restaurant accross the hall. I would have given five stars, but the restaurant closes really early. Perhaps once they get going a bit more they will be open longer. I'm going to see a movie there tonight!! read more

The Firehouse Theater in Kingston is a great community movie theater. It may not be a multiplex, but there are two movie screens and the owner has the latest digital technology, so every movie looks great. I've seen lots of movies there and have never noticed the sides being cut off. The owner loves movies and makes an effort to get the best movies in, even if only for a short run. After the previews and before the movie, the owner comes in to chat about the movie and talk about the movies he wants to bring in next. And he really does put real butter on the popcorn! read more

My daughter and I love this place. I love how the owner comes in before the previews, shares some fun facts about the movie we're about to watch. He also shares the trailers we're going to see that are going to be in his theater. read more

I love the charm of this theater and how the owner presents each movie before it shows. They also have a room to take your crying child in that has windows so you can still watch the movie but not disturb the rest of the audience. Way cool! Annnd they held off on starting the movie until everyone was in and snack ready. I thought that was really considerate. read more

Locally owned, not some mega-corporation - I like going there because I like supporting a local business. They show good movies - but you have to get there quickly because they typically only keep a movie for two weeks. They have the BEST POPCORN around!!! read more

Have heard many good comments about this place. Sorry to say our first time was a disaster. The theater was dirty. Popcorn, garbage in every isle, sticky "goobers" on front edge of some seats we first looked at.. 25 minutes into the movie the video quit audio continued and emergency lights came on. After several minutes one of the six people watching the movie left to tell the manager, who appeared and checked a few things then told us there had been a large explosion outside. He continued checking and rebooting the film which was supposed to start were it quit,but to no avail, all we ever got was audio of the start of the movie. after about 15 minutes of this we left. There was no sign of an explosion outside and all other businesses had power. probably the projectors bulbs blew and tripped his breakers, but I guess they had no backup bulbs. Any we will not return. read more

This is an amazing theater run by a person who is a walking encyclopedia of knowledge in all movies. Firehouse is a treasure. It is everything a small town business should be- inviting, fresh food, variety, and an owner who is passionate about movie and sharing that passion with the audience. I live this theater and Craig is one of a kind- so appreciative of all his hard work and making going to the movies an experience, as it should be. read more

The Firehouse Theater is a great place. It is less expensive than other movie theaters in the area and the owner, Craig, is an absolutely amazing person. I am always happy to spend my money here! read more

I like to support local businesses and this is one that I will keep supporting. the staff is always so friendly and always come out to say a few things about the film before it starts which is a nice personal touch. the theater itself is more spacious than it would appear from the street and always clean. read more

I so love living right up the hill from this gem of a theater. It's an extremely refreshing and charming alternative to the massive corporate type theaters. Bravo and thanks!!! read more

Nice and cozy! I love watching movies alone... Which is provided a lot. Expensive, but worth it because of what I said in the beginning of this review. Friendly staff and they always provide a preview of the movie, and other movies before the show starts. read more

Called and actually got hold of the owner. I've read alot about this little gem of a theater. It is a great place!!

The ONLY reason I go to this theater is that it's 30 seconds from my house. The manager (in his pre-movie talks) has ruined movie endings more than once, In fact, I won't even go in the theater until he's done talking. Movie times on the internet are often the wrong times and the guy on the phone says that they have no control over that which is a real cop-out. The floors are dirty and covered with popcorn. The staff isn't friendly. NOT a Kingston treasure. read more

The Firehouse Theater is truly a small down theater and I like it for that reason. You don't get too many people and so the theater is rarely crowded like some of the chain theaters. That being said, there are only two rooms so only two shows at a time and they only show them for three weeks each so if you are like me and like to wait until its almost out of theaters, be careful with this one because it will go fast. I really enjoy their main theater because the rows are really steep. I am a really short person and the tallest person always seems to sit right in front of me which is usually a problem but not here! The prices are reasonable both concessions and tickets. I went and saw a late showing and the theater manager came in after the previews to talk about the movie, interact with the audience and talk about upcoming movies. While I am sure most people would find this charming, I found it really annoying. I didn't come to the movies to listen to you drone on about the movie and the book comparison and what else is coming... I came to watch a movie! Aside from my minor annoyances with this interaction and the fact that they don't seem to patrol their theaters for annoying patrons, I had a lovely time at the Firehouse Theater and will not hesitate to go back. read more

While we've liked going to this theater for many reasons, we will no longer go there. The owner would not let us take in the snacks we brought for our children who have extreme food allergies. In the past he had let us and seemed to understand our situation, but after the confrontation we had with him we will no longer go there. He suggested that I buy them water (what?? when everyone has soda they can't have the juice I brought them?) and they can not eat the popcorn etc... that he serves. So my one little bag of treats for them was not allowed. I again explained their severe allergies and he said eventually he would have trail mix we could buy, I said... NUT allergies?! I so understand that they make money off of the snacks and drinks they sell, and we ALWAYS buy soda and popcorn for the other members of our family. But to refuse a 3 and 6 year old child to eat their own safe snacks at his theater was just cruel. Sad but we will not go back there. read more
