I love this place. I've watched two movies here and have had the best time! Great audience…read moreexperience and cool atmosphere

The Nightlight is one of my top three favorite places in Akron along with Akron Coffee Roasters…read moreright next door and Angel Falls down West Market. You can't go wrong spending a night at the Nightlight. You go to see a movie, something usually a bit more indie, a classic, or arthouse, and as soon as you step through the doors you're transported to a different world or a different time. (At least I am). And yet, it feels like a timeless place. Like this is a place that has always existed and will always exist. If I'm wandering through the post-apocalyptic wasteland and don't stumble upon the Nightlight I would be woefully surprised. It's mystical, know what I mean? They've just completed their ambitious second screen project. In the process, they've completely renovated their other spaces. You can now pick up a themed cocktail (or mocktail), a Norka or a Cheerwine at their extensive and sizable bar. There's plenty of seating at the counter if you'd care to take one and chat it up as if you're at a cocktail lounge. On the left side of the bar is a nice snack collection to choose from. Pick up all kinds of candy before you make your order for drinks and popcorn at the counter. They even have some vintage options that'll bring tears to your grandparents' eyes. The popcorn is everything you'd want from a movie theater, so don't miss out. They've also added a brand new movie library behind the bar. Here, you can take a plush chair by the fireplace and discuss whatever great movie you just got out of. It's the kind of place that makes you want to puff on pipe tobacco. Their bathrooms also got an overhaul! If you're a fan of The Shining, it'll feel like you stepped into the bathroom where Jack chats with Delbert Grady. I won't spoil the library. The second screen is a great addition. Now they can play more movies and host more showings. It's a beautiful theater as well. You'll have to see it and experience it for yourself. I'm obsessed with the red carpet. The whole place, not just the theaters, is dripping with style. They've captured and mastered an aesthetic. Not only do they create this space, they also partner with all kinds of other local venues for unique showings. Like Pulp Fiction at the Civic, The Shining at CVNP's lodge, and other classics at Lock 3 in the summer. You'll also get the chance to meet directors and producers who come to town with their films. As a writer, this is a special and encouraging experience for me. The executive director of the Nightlight, Jenn Kidd, is one of the kindest people you will meet. She makes everyone feel like a valued human being, not just a patron or customer. People are important to her, that's why she's helped create and foster this welcoming community space. And it does feel like that, a community. One that is safe and inclusive. All of the staff are lovely people. I don't tire of seeing them and hearing their thoughts about the movies. You'll meet all kinds of cool strangers as well. One of the best parts about the Nightlight is their membership program. They have varying levels, but honestly the gold tier is the way to go. For $20 a month, you can go to every showing. That's right, $20 a month gets you a ticket to every showing! On Mondays you can also bring a guest for free, along with several extra tickets to use at your discretion throughout the year. You also get free popcorn with every showing. It's a great deal, honestly, if you ask me it's a steal. Jenn, if you're reading this, make physical membership cards! It would be very very cool. I would pay extra for one, I'm so serious! I'm just imaging that bad boy in my wallet and it gives me a sweet feeling. Perhaps I'm just a mawkish sap. I moved back to Akron after living out of state for about 6 years. A lot of my old friends had moved away. Before I found a new group of great people, I didn't have all that much to do besides work, take care of my grandma (Mimi), and hangout around Angel Falls with my childhood bestie. How many times can you go to the Bomb Shelter without going a little crazy? And then the Nightlight showed me its face! I had somewhere to go, that changed a lot for me. Now I go to the Nightlight with so many different friends! I always take my out-of-towners as well. Full circle for me. I still love going alone too, that won't change. I also always meet great strangers there. Thanks for being that place for me for over a year now. It is truly a gem. Thanks for providing it! Check them out on social media and subscribe to their email list, you won't regret it. They're severely lacking in recent reviews, so give them a glowing one!

We had a super packed week visiting with his family who also came to town, and while browsing for a dinner restaurant, I stumbled across this local little Cinema. We already had plans to go to Cinemark the next morning (Tuesday, to get discounted tickets) but had time in the evening to sneak in a movie. To my surprise, this theater had discounted MONDAYS, which as an avid movie-goer, I have never seen! I read some reviews and found out they give you a small popcorn with purchase of a movie ticket, and quickly adjusted our schedule for these last minute plans! I quickly discovered that while purchasing tickets online, "Luxury" showings provided the opportunity to reserve your seats. Any other showing is first-come-first-serve. We found this out by firsthand experience. Don't bother trying to call their phone number, because you'll be met with an automated message listing the movies and times of each showing, with no option to speak with a representative. We arrived 30 minutes before our 8:55pm showing and the theater was PACKED! The line for concessions was reaching the ticket counter (given it is a small lobby, but it was still incredibly long). We were told 60% of the theater was filled, and had to weigh our options, risk & reward. We wound up taking our chances that some of the good seats were left, but were surprised when we walked into the theater and it was completely empty!!!! We went back outside to read the movie showing, just to double check... But tens of teens started rushing in as soon as we picked our seats. We barely made it before the rush of concessions let out! I highly recommend getting to the theater 30+ minutes early if you are purchasing a first-come-first-serve ticket. There is no price difference, we just missed the chance to go to the earlier Luxury showing. It probably didn't help that, on top of it being $5.25 discount Mondays, we were also seeing the fan favorite, very popular "Ballad of Songbirds & Snakes." Along with the $5.25 movie ticket (each comes with free mini popcorn), they have $2 large soda and Icee deals, so we wound up spending $14.25 for two movie tickets to a highly favorable movie, popcorn, soda and Icee. This theater is awesome and makes for a great date night!
