I was surprised to find this theater showing a niche art house kind of movie. I thought the building might have been for stage shows rather than films, because I've had a couple of instances where I wanted to see niche movies and had to go to Cincinnati to find a theater that was showing them. But at least some unique options are on display here. The building is retro and the main theater quite massive, though the screen itself actually looks kind of small by comparison. I doubt the seats are full often given the nature of their business, though the bathrooms were as they were not big by comparison. But all these things drift away if you find something worth watching, which is not easily done these days.

Saw the Barbie movie here!

This is an historic old school theater with two large theaters, more like performing arts auditoriums. There is a giant concession area in the front lobby. It was fun to go to a movie here and also support this fine old establishment. Parking is available a block away on a side street in a lot if you can't find it on the street out front. If I get to go here again I'd try to sit center but not in the front row. P. S. I loved the Barbie movie, and I've seen it twice so far.

Okay... easily one of the coolest local movie theaters I've been to!! We came here when Greg Sistero was hosting a screening for The Room (Ya know, the best worst movie ever made?) and that was quite an event to experience with a full audience. This theater is gorgeous and I couldn't stop mentioning that. It has that vintage feel, with the giant marquee out front and has interior on the inside that makes you feel like you are about to see a Broadway show. There is also a stage in front of the movie screen, so not sure if they do staged performances here. This place is lovely! I'd be excited to see another movie here.

Beautiful theatre

You can't help but feel a little bit fancier when seeing a movie at the Kentucky Theater. When you first walk in the ornately designed lobby, you immediately are transported into a different time period. Though the screens here may not be as big, your movie-going experience beats going to any cine-mega-max new movie theater hands down. Ticket prices are comparable to most theaters in KY (if not a smidge cheaper) and concessions are priced more reasonably as well. I really like that The Kentucky will feature some great indie gems that I would never have discovered otherwise. There are only two theaters here, so the movies played and show times are more limited. However, there is plenty of seating!

A Lexington staple. Walking into the Kentucky Theatre is like stepping back in time. There's a concessions area with popcorn, of course, and an alcohol selection. The theatre itself is large with plenty of seats and beautiful architecture. Limited releases, independent films and specialty movies are typically shown here. We enjoyed the classic Halloween. It transformed the movie to see it in a theatre setting. The experience was wonderful. Everyone should check out this Lexington site.

Lovely Theatre

See all

Those of us who had to live without it during those long dark days when it was shuttered post Fire will never take it for granted again!
