Never actually been here for a movie but on Sunday morning it is Hope Chapel. Joe Volpi is an amazing pastor and continuously bringing a great message from God. The movie theater is beautiful old fashion. It has second level seating and the tickets are very cheap. read more

Lyric Theatre - Performing Arts Near Me - Blacksburg, Virginia

If you are just passing thru and looked it up on your phone, this spacious renovated Art Deco theater is worth a trip from 81 or wherever you are. It's surrounded by several blocks of good restaurants. read more

Seriously, what's not to love? The Lyric isn't your top of the line theater where you see what just came out, but they have a good selection of movies, both indie, new (though it's released later) and classics. The inside of the theater is reminiscent of an old theater, with an old fashioned ticket booth, plenty of seating (there's balcony seating!) and a classic looking stage with a projector. It's really quite beautiful! The location makes it a prime place to go for a movie if you're in college, and the ticket prices are pretty reasonable! Even for a nighttime showing, it's only $5, and the concessions are just as cheap. The staff is extremely friendly, and they accept volunteers if you're looking for any volunteer work. Definitely a place to go, especially if you like seeing quirky movies. The only downfall is that it only shows one movie at a time, for one week each, unless there's a special showing. Harry Potter and the Princess Bride are coming up! read more

I miss The Lyric. In an area with mostly popular, first-run movies, I could always take a short drive to downtown and pay very little to see something older, foreign, or just plain interesting. The Lyric has the charm of an old theater, plenty of seating, and offers free popcorn on Mondays. Its location in downtown Blacksburg makes it a convenient start to any night; you can see a movie, grab dinner, and go out without having to go back to your car. The staff has always been very friendly, even to a man I saw arguing about their (extremely reasonable) ticket prices a few years back. Another great thing about The Lyric is the crowd. I've met some very interesting people waiting in line and learned about local politics, living green, and making shirts with beading. Overall it's a happy, friendly place that offers a different selection of movies at a low price. Go now. Right now. I'll wait. read more

This place is a great cornerstone of the town of Blacksburg. Whether you catch a movie or a performance you would be lucky . Comfortable seats, spacious area truly a Blacksburg landmark. read more

Given that you won't find many independent theaters outside of major metro areas, the Lyric is a cinematic hidden gem in southwest Virginia. The selection of films is on target, the prices are fantastic, and they offer nice deals such as free popcorn mondays. The screen appears to be well kept, and the viewing room makes you feel like you're not at your stereotypical multiplex. I will miss this place now that I moved to Knoxville. read more

If you love nostalgia, you will love this place. It is a great date place and a fun way to spend an evening out at the movies without going to one of the "big" movie theaters. Nice that it is still architecturally true to its roots...always fun to sit in the balcony for movies. Right now with the construction on college ave it is tricky to drive there, find parking, etc. but I expect that will be done by the end of the summer. Make sure to go on Monday, there is free popcorn!! read more

Very cute local theater, cheap prices, good movies.

What's not to like about the Lyric. They have not new but recently released movies usually for a week about a week at a time. The historic atmosphere is awesome, and the old timey feeling makes for a fun time. Its not stadium seating and a giant screen like at the newest movie theaters but it doesn't matter its still a great time. The entertainment doesn't stop at your normal movies either. I've seen midnight screening, gotten free sneak previews, see "The Price is Right", and that's just what I have see. That does not include the live music performances and other live shows that grace the Lyric Theaters stage. read more

This place has five stars for a reason ! It is simply amazing ! The building , theater , staff , location , you name it ! I cannot think of a better way to spend an evening. Every time we go , the experience is better than the last . This is one of those places that everyone should try once , and almost certainly if they do they will make many return trips . read more

One of my favorite places in Blacksburg. The movies played here come out after they are in theatres but before they are put on DVD. They usually play really good indie flicks/documentary style films. The prices are exceptionally low which is always an added bonus. The theatre itself is also really really nice and posses this old charm that will make you feel like you've gone back in time. read more

First time here and had a great experience, tickets are $5 and popcorn was FREE (Monday only). We set on the balcony in this old historical theater and it was great, sound and picture where surprisingly crisp and clear.....will defiantly be coming back (probably for free popcorn night) read more

Great selection in movies! Cheap ticket prices! I like the Lyric alot.

The Lyric is awesome! Free popcorn on Mondays! Cheap tickets and cheap popcorn all other times. They usually do a decent job of rotating both popular and indie movies in their showing schedule. And they have live bands on the weekends. I've seen quite a few movies here that I would not bother with at the "regular" theater. But seeing them at The Lyric makes it fun! Plus they have a balcony! How fun is that? This place fits in perfectly with the downtown Bburg feel. You can have dinner or drinks before or after the show. Definitely check it out! read more

Awesome little theatre. Very classy and great for those who want to see blockbuster films on a budget.

Free popcorn Mondays!!!! The Lyric is a perfect small town theater and a landmark in Blacksburg. The theater was renovated a few years ago and is operated by a non-profit foundation. The Lyric not only shows movies, but also has performances, traveling exhibits and can be rented for events, If you're looking for an IMAX theater, $12 movie tickets and to spend $40 for popcorn and a soda, the Lyric is not for you. If you are looking for affordable entertainment in a unique, historical setting, while also supporting your local community, the Lyric is the perfect choice! read more

I really wish there were more places like this. I frequent the Lyric on Monday nights for a $5 movie and FREE POPCORN. That's right, you can just keep going out and getting more. I've also been for a classical concert and will say it's a great venue for that as well. Only tiny little complaint would be their sodas are small and a tad over-priced. Honestly though, no big deal, it's still wayyy cheaper than Regal. read more

Cheap tickets and free popcorn on Monday's makes this indie thater one of the best cheap dates in the area.

free popcorn nights, great movies, nice atmosphere... what are you waiting for?
