It takes me about 45 minutes to get there so it better be worth the drive. The lobby was remodeled, and some concessions are available to grab yourself. Then, when you get to the front of the line, it tells you which register to go to. The theater was actually clean, but some of the seats were still worn. The restrooms were still not clean enough and could use more attention. With all the staff working there, they had plenty of staff to keep the building clean.

I went to see Muscadine Bloodline at the Carolina Theatre and honestly, I can't recommend this…read morevenue enough! If you love live music but aren't a fan of huge crowds and overpriced everything, this theater is a total gem. First off, the vibe here is just cool and intimate. It's one of those places where, even if you're sitting a bit farther back, you still feel close to the action. The acoustics were great, every note and every lyric was super clear, which really made the performance feel special. Muscadine Bloodline killed it, by the way! One thing I really appreciated: the whole experience felt easy and relaxed. Getting there was a breeze and there's a parking garage directly across the street, so no crazy searches for a spot or long walks in the cold/rain/heat. You can literally be inside the theater within minutes of parking. Inside, the concessions were surprisingly reasonable. I was bracing myself to pay $20 for a beer like most venues, but nope, drinks and snacks were actually affordable. It's a little thing, but it made the night even better. Being able to sit for the show was also huge for me. The seats were comfortable, with a good view from just about anywhere. I loved not having to stand the whole time or jockey for space. It's honestly the perfect size, big enough for a killer crowd atmosphere, but small enough that it's not overwhelming. All in all, the Carolina Theatre just nails it for live shows. Great music, chill atmosphere, reasonable prices, and zero hassle. Can't wait to catch another concert here!

We sat in the 4th row and gelt immersed in the performance but there really isn't a bad seat in the house. Parking was right across the street and reasonably priced. My only complaint was their concessions didn't have much variety. I should have done my research because I went to the event without eating dinner and popcorn just didn't do it for me. I'm looking forward to seeing more shows here.

Stuff happens, especially when you have high powered hot lights that have cooling problems. Where things shine is what happens when that happens. We just walked out, talked to someone, got a ticket for the next nearest showing and went into that. no mess, no 'oh that's later int he day more expensive you have to cover it' just a quick swap, new seats picked, and back in we went. We didn't eat there so I can't comment on the food pricing, but, everything is more expensive these days.

I've frequented Silverspot since it first opened here and it has always been hit or miss. My latest…read morevisit was for a screening of Spider-Man: Bran New Day on July 30. My main issue is ordering food ahead for seat delivery, which is a big factor in my rating. I've ordered pretzel bites or other food ahead for seat delivery several times. Typically you must have your ticket scanned by the attendant to "check-in" or alert staff to prepare food for delivery. Sometimes my food has been delivered rather quickly and other times not. This visit was probably the worst of them all. I arrived at 11:30am for the 12:00 pm showing and had my ticket scanned. I know it takes some time but was not expecting it to take ONE HOUR for delivery of one order of pretzel bites to my seat. Not to mention, seeing patrons order after in their seats and receive food before me. This also distracted me from the film, which had already begun. Once received, I was stunned by the much smaller portion size for the price. This is a trivial thing but I was also disappointed that Spider-Man themed popcorn buckets were available at the in person concession stand and not available to order ahead on the app. I contacted customer service right after my screening. The website stated a response would be sent within one business day. Three business days and a follow up email later, I finally received a "response" which was much of nothing. In fact it mostly repeated what I stated and just said my comments would be "passed along" to the team. Much like an AI-generated response. Needless to say, I'm no longer patronizing this theater after being a longtime customer.

The general manager was super nice. She even took pictures of us since we were dressed like Michael Jackson. They were very helpful with everyone using their snack pack vouchers. One of the seats in the theater was broken, so no one sat there. The theater itself was super hot. I asked the manager to turn on the air. She did warn me that it would take some time, but the movie was over half way done before we could feel some type of air. I still appreciate them for everything, and if I'm ever back in the area, I may go back to that theater.

I am not sure if they played previews or not but I don't think they did. The first thing I noticed when I walked in was that it was HOT! Like, wow. It was a fairly nice day. It seemed hotter in the actual theater. The prices of popcorn wasn't bad at all. My brother and I both got an XL popcorn for $6 each. To be honest, it's like a large at other places. We both got a large drink that was $5. My son wanted a water, so I got him a bottled water, which was $2. They ran out of butter, so I could t get any. The popcorn was okay. It definitely wasn't fresh, lol. But I can't expect much from a vintage movie theater. This establishment only has one theater room. There is an entrance on both sides of the concession stand and an emergency exit to the left of the screen. We ended up having to sit in the 3-4th row from the front as everything else was pretty much taken. It seemed that most of the crowd were students from UNC-CH. we enjoyed the movie! Besides the lack of temperature control, it wasn't a bad experience. I would return again if I was in the area. I only came here because it was cheap halfway spot between where I live in Greensboro and where my brother lives in Clayton.
