The Lincoln Theatre is great! We travel from St. Louis to visit for Laugh's at the Lincon. Situated on Main St, near other local businesses, the Lincoln Theatre is an old school theatre that has been redone. It is nostalgic and cool but still has all the needed technology. For Laughs at the Lincoln uses the main floor theatre. Side bar with a friendly waitress, concession stand with great bites and adult slushy in different flavors! The venue staff rolls out the red carpet and treats everyone wonderfully. The theatre has a center section with a side section on either side, even all the way back the sound is great, a nostalgic theater, with a great staff, and fun events outside of the movies they still run, read more

Love being able to go to the Lincoln to see first run movies without the $18 admission. I have been coming here since a teenager and still enjoy the small town feel and atmosphere. It's a classic venue and Always will be... read more

Love love the Lincoln theatre! Located downtown Belleville near the public square. It's one of the few haunted places on East main st. Most of the building has original chairs and I has 3 theaters rooms. They have the main floor where it's more open and sometimes you'd get to enjoy an organ player before the show. Their prices are still cheaper than the franchises around the areas. They have Abe's gourmet popcorn linked Nextdoor. They also sell it at the concessions. The chairs are so old they creek when you sit down. We love how they kept most of this building as original as possible. I've never felt anything bad here. People claim to hear chiming sounds in the lower area. Come check out the Lincoln theatre!! read more

A few days ago I was at the Chili cookoff with my family. I was waiting in line when I noticed a woman dropped her chili and it spilt onto the ground. Next thing I saw one of the workers with glasses came out and helped her clean it up. I've been to the theatre before and I love it but this just goes to show how polite and dedicated the employees are. The chili wasn't even by the Lincoln, it was in the street, yet one of the employees still came to help. I will forever be a returning customer to the theatre not just for the quality of the movies, but also for the quality of the service. read more

The staff were amazing and enjoyed having our children, nephews and niece there with me. We enjoyed Sonic 3 there. Prices are great and loved the small town charm! I also enjoyed how it was part of the Christmas celebration downtown. We were able to ride the holiday trolley that came through right outside of the theater for free. read more

Came in from out of town for a concert and that staff from the time of purchase till I arrived for the show were amazing. Every seat is a great seat. Lots of offerings for snacks and they even have a bar. Ample street & lot parking. In a great area offering entertainment and food for before or after the show. read more

I love the Lincoln, but I'll only see a movie if it's playing in the main theater. The two theaters upstairs are very small and not sound proof. The main theater on the other hand is perfect. I love the seating. I love the aesthetics. I love when the organ player is here. I feel like I'm seeing a movie in an old playhouse. In my opinion, the Lincoln also has the best popcorn I. The metro east area! Make sure to join the rewards program for extra concession stand discounts. read more

Sure, the theater is old. Yes, the seats are small with not much legroom. But prices are better and crowds are smaller than at the bigger, corporate theaters. And in the end, seeing a movie at the Lincoln in Belleville is a fun experience. My wife and I brought 5 kids to see the Friday night 7PM showing of MI:Fallout this past weekend and for the 7 of us it only set us back $44. Not too bad for what turned out to be a pretty good movie. The kids had never been to the Lincoln before and weren't sure what to think when we had to go up a narrow, winding staircase to get to the theaters on the second floor. The quizzical looks on their faces were priceless. read more

This is without a doubt the best deal in family entertainment! They offer current run movies at a discount versus what the chain theater charges ($20 for 4 tickets). The place is a 30's to 40's building, with tons of character. On Saturdays they have folks playing an old fashioned pipe organ before the movies. Upon completion of the music, the organ is lowered below stage. That alone is worth the price of admission. The workers are friendly and interactive! Not the sullen emo kids that work at chain theaters. They make fresh made popcorn on site, you can get real butter for $1 more, (well worth the price). After purchasing the sodas, you get $1 refills even on subsequent visits. Love this place! read more

Lincoln Theatre - Hard to see lady playing pipe organ before show. - Cinema Near Me - Belleville, Illinois

You're paying for the experience, being entertained in the same space where your great-grandparents were entertained. You have a friendly, personal staff, ambience, superior popcorn to the movie chains and in fact with Abe's Popcorn, you're in a popcorn universe. Don't expect this place to be a soulless cineplex screen. It's a treasure. Keep your one star reviews to yourself. If you expect the 100 year old theater to be the same exact experience as the such and such chain 16, that's on you. Great atmosphere. read more

Why is it sooooo small!!!!!!! This is the smallest movie theatre I have ever been in. The old time feel was okay but it was sooooo small. read more

A staple of downtown Belleville, you can just feel the history of this building as soon as you walk in. From the ticket booth to the snack counter to the vintage candy machines, this is not the type of theatre you see every day. read more

The last of the full screen theaters. Lots of seating and cheap prices. $5 matinees on the weekend. Keep your large soda cup and bring it back and get $1 refills. My wife and I can see a first run movie matinee with sodas and a large popcorn for $17. Some are comparing the Lincoln to the St Clair 10 Cine, but the Lincoln is first run movies, the Cine is not. read more

Only gave it a one star since it was mess old dirty!!! It was very small. I can understand now why it cost less! I won't recommend or even go back..Very disappointed since it had good reviews.... read more

The Lincoln Movie Theatre opened in 1921 and is still going strong today. It first opened as a silent movie house (an organ was added in 1927) and live venue where several famous acts (including Bettie Davis and The Marx Brothers) would one day perform. Now, its one of my favorite historical movie theatres, complete with three large screens for modern movies. The Lincoln Theatre does cater to its audience, playing mostly family friendly pictures, but will play the occasional summer blockbuster. On Sunday, the Lincoln Movie Theatre still offers live organ music, and nothing beats sitting in the Lincoln Movie Theatre, in the musty darkness, listening to the organ, allowing it to take you to another place. read more

It's old and that's how it's staying. It's a great place to go for a cheap movie, but you get what you pay for, unless you like that old-tyme charm. They only have a few screens and they don't always have the newest movies, but again, its cheap, so why not. read more

I go here all the time. under $7 per person for evening shows. cheap refreshments and friendly people. great hometown theater. to bad the ritz had to close. i can remember going there when i was a kid. i try to go here when i can. i have never got stale popcorn or nasty overpriced soda. read more

Cheap tickets for $5.50 matinee. Definitely an older theatre. iIt reminded me of a theater from back in the old days of black and white movies. I could of definitely been a fan of that. read more

Love the fact that refreshments are reasonable! I love that it is a small theatre! Get a large soda ( as long as you bring your cup with you)get refills for life for only $1!!! read more

It's been around forever and still one of the best! Never as busy as the mainstream theaters and cheaper. Excellent snacks and refill cups!

There are not to many places like this any more. It may not meet all the modern technology that the new theaters have, but a lot of time the way it used to be is great. I grew up going to this old world movie house, back when we didn't have a real rating system for movies. There would be a matinee and then you had to leave before a movie that had more sensitive material came on. Maybe the snacks are not all that great, but in my day, you didn't get that kind of treats on a daily basis. If you went to the movie once a month you were lucky and the snacks tasted great. Kirk D.

I really like this movie theater for a family movie night out, especially if you are on a tight budget the prices are reasonable for tickets and snack. Another perk is it's never overly crowded like most theatres location is also great read more

Dirty.ripped seats small movie theater. Popcorn was good. The movie had been spliced so much. Horrible acoustics. Hard to walk up to theater. read more

The management the night I was visiting smelled awful. The workers were eating with the management and sometimes when I came downstairs to order food, there wasn't anyone in the lobby. The theaters were dirty and there was popcorn everywhere. When I complained to the manager that night they cursed at me and told me if they didn't like what they did then I could leave. I will never come back and I will tell everyone to do the same. read more

They with in the last year updated everything in the theaters. We has experienced the problems before the update and since then have had no problems. If you do see a problem, the Lincoln will give you free tickets if you wish not to stay. Recently the air conditioning broke (fixed now) and it still wasn't bad in there, but they gave everyone free drinks!! :-D can't complain there. But over all service is awesome, staff is great, and prices are amazing!! I would give this place a shot if I were you! read more

Love going here for a movie night! It's so much cheaper than going to one of the big box theaters and way more fun.

I really like the Lincoln theater because it's inexpensive and four it's his Storico value. The hotdogs are horrible but all in all, it's a very neat place to go with the kids read more

Prices that you can't beat with a historic building to enjoy. Watched a movie with 4 family members for under $40 including concessions.

It's pretty small I mean if u wanna be at a old movie theater that's the place to be a lot of young kids loud no respect for people that spent money to watch a movie but staff was good price not bad read more

This place is awesome. $4.50 for matinees and $7 for evening shows. They also have a special on their large cup of soda. As long as you bring it back with the lid, it's only $1 for refills...that includes refills that day or a year from now. However, unless you're in the main theater, the acoustics aren't the best and the seats are very steep and close together. But you can't beat it for the price. read more

love it! if you want the latest and newest technology - go somewhere else. if you like to spend 1/2 of your paycheck on a movie - go somewhere else. This place is inexpensive and historic. Don't mix historic and outdated - they have a great visual and auditory experience - it's just not 100% up-to-date (it's historic) read more

It is horrible movie theatre!!! Don't waste your money!!! Horrible sound system, Horrible screen, very very bad costumer service!!!

I had bought tickets ahead of time and on the day of the movie could not make it because of the weather. When i called up to the box office to see if i could get a refund, they assured me they would give me tickets for a future show. I took my nephew to see Rogue One last night and they did give us replacements tickets with no fuss. I was pleasantly surprised and will definitely be going back to this theater. I know none of the bigger theaters would have been so accommodating. read more
