    Movie time!! Argyle
    Kandis B.

    It's often hit and miss with the service at this malco location but I must admit, it's also a fairly consistent 4. Usually it's pretty clean, the food is typical theatre options but good and the ambiance fluctuates along with whatever current showings are. We like to visit Powerhouse because of its convenient location when it's offering a movie that we want to check out. It's also the newest theatre in the memphis area, and offers the reclining and updated chairs with the Dolbey Atmos soundsytem!

    Powerhouse Cinema is, indeed, a power house. In addition to the usual concession stand, it offers a full bar with ample seating and open spaces. Theaters are new and modern with recliner seating, ample room and great screen-visibility, thanks to the slant of the floor. Added bonus, very clean! On a Monday at 1:30, we had the theater to ourselves and had a very good experience. The employees could be a bit friendlier, but all in all enjoyable.

    My friend and I visited this cinema the day after opening night. I LOVED IT! A beautifully decorated establishment with seven screens for your viewing pleasure. The waiting area is equipped with a few couches, a fireplace and TV. The bathrooms even have couches (at least the women's bathroom did) and are super nice. There's a full bar and grill and the menu has some pretty good picks! They were still working out the kinks when we visited, but nevertheless we enjoyed ourselves and Captain Marvel! I absolutely cannot wait to visit again. It could definitely be a cute little date night spot!

    It's our movie date time - we chose to see Godzilla at the new Malco Powerhouse Cinema- everything was fabulous- awesome seating with an action packed movie We reserved our seating online and proceeded to the Malco Powerhouse Cinema- we made a stop at their in house bar- good cocktails round $10 which were during our movie I'd recommend this theater for date night and/or family movie night

    the bottom 1/3 of my $7.00 med. popcorn- kernels, kibble and crumbs- disappointing.  when UR the only game in town-

    Unfortunately, this is review #2 regarding Malco and their popcorn....for those who read the last one...i was very disappointed that for a theater boasting food/ grill, that their popcorn was shipped in..(what one of their employees told me behind the counter when I asked) ...this time the popcorn tasted the same (mediocre at best)... I ordered a size medium, i think it was $7.00...and the bottom 1/3 was crumbs, kernels and kibble...seriously, ripped off on so many levels...buyer beware. The theater itself however has a great 7.1 Dolby system and comfortable reclining seats.

    Parking lot - plenty of room!

    For my downtown movie goers - rejoice! Finally there's a spot in Downtown Memphis to catch a film without having to drive out to Overton Square. While I have not yet tried the restaurant side of Powerhouse, this review will be in regards to the theater itself! There's nothing I love more than my weekly tradition of Tuesday movies though normally I'm attending at either Studio on the Square or Ridgeway because they are more in the range of where I live and work. Yesterday we had a little extra time on our hands so we decided to make it a treat and head downtown to Powerhouse and I'm so glad we did! One thing I must note - at all other Malco theaters movies are $6 all day on Tuesday's (hence how the tradition began) but at Powerhouse we were charged $7.10 each. We didn't realize till after we'd paid so I'm not sure how that came to be but hey - still cheaper than what a ticket normally is. We were in theater 3 and I hope this is true of all their theaters - they had the most amazing reclining chairs! This is what Malco has always needed! Whenever I see a movie while traveling I'm able to truly "Sit back and relax," and now it's a reality here as well! Woohoo! The theater we were in was also rather small and intimate with an incredible projector. The lighting and the picture were both fantastic. On a Tuesday afternoon the theater was nearly empty. They have fairly large bathrooms that are very nice and kept very clean. There's plenty of parking available (pictured attached) so you don't have to worry about that the way you normally do when heading downtown. Overall - we had a great experience and we'll definitely be back to the Powerhouse!

    The beer cheese and pretzels (x4) from the bar area were really fresh!  The waitress says the pretzels  are sourced from a local bakery.

    See all

    How is the parking?

    I was worried about this too. Posted some pictures. Huge parking lot. Nice safe area. Guard patrolled parking as well. Pretty nice theater for Malco just still not VIP with trays at seat and service at seat... If you want real food. Show up early… Read more

    How early should you arrive before your movie time?

    You can reserve your seats ahead of time, so you only need to factor in concessions and parking time. I'd suggest arriving 15 min. ahead if you're planning to go by concessions.
