This movie Theatre IS OPEN. Status on yelp should be changed to OPEN. This movie theater is located on the main street of Manhasset in Nassau county New York. It was opened in November 1936. It's now one of the few remaining independent movie houses from the 30s and 40s on the main street in Long Island. It was originally a single screen theater, but in February 1980 it was turned into a three screen theater. But the art deco style façade and curved marquee remain. Clearview ran it until April 2019. A new operator opened it in April 2019. Closed for the shutdown in March 2020 reopened in May 2021. This is a very impressive Theatre from when you first walk in the front doors. You'll see a few chandeliers upon entering with an old style ticket booth to the right side but that's covered up now and you buy tickets at the concession stand. Another very nice chandelier by the concession stand Tuesday night, which is bargain night $5.00 for a ticket. The young lady and the other woman were very friendly. They offer alcoholic beverages, as well as regular soda and water. I bought my ticket for the movie. MASTERO. Got a large popcorn and a large drink. I went into one of the two theaters that are downstairs theater one. Nice comfortable leather seats 191 seats in theater one. The other theater downstairs similar number of seats. The theater upstairs is where the balcony used to be when it was a it was a single screen theater. Another nice chandelier as you are walking up the stairs to the theater. This theater is spacious also with 160 seats the largest screen out of the three theaters. But the ones downstairs are a very nice size. The projection was clear the sound very good from the speakers on the wall and behind the screen. Good attendance for a Tuesday night the popcorn was delicious. I'd highly recommend going to this theater. I think one of the nicest of the ones left on Long Island right on a main street in a downtown. Definitely more enjoyable than going to one of the big guys those multiplexes. The prices are better for the tickets and the concessions are delicious and good choices of candy soda, and some alcoholic beverages. Parking is a bit tough in Manhasset. No dedicated parking lot for the theater. I did park down a side street where they said 90 minute parking from 9 AM to 7 PM so get there early to try to get a parking spot. The only other parking spots are meters that you have to use coins for, the meter maid did tell me in the parking for Walgreens lot a little bit away from the theater that after 3 PM the guard from Walgreens leaves so you can park there without any trouble according to him. Again, definitely go to this theater. Nice neon marquee outside very clean and inside. Impressive with the Chandeliers and they even had a cool looking old-fashioned water fountain. Nice sized theaters with large screens and very comfortable seats with a good slope in each of the three theaters so you'll have no problem if there's someone sitting in front of you. read more

Avoid this place like the plague, especially if your film is playing upstairs, where the sound is muddy and the seats are incredibly cramped. There have been attempts to upgrade the facility but it appears to be deteriorating steadily. read more

This gotta be the worst movie theater I've ever been to. I took my daughter & her friend here to watch Moana 2~ chose this location because of the convenience & showtime they had. I bought the tickets in advance on Fandango ($13.04 adult & $22.72- 2 kids + a $7 convenience fee). This theater only has 3 movies, it's very outdated & dirty, no reclining seats, and sorry to say, everything about it is just disgusting. Upon entering, you have to wait in line to be called to the concession counter- then from there, you could order food/drinks & they scan your tickets. The girls opted for the large combo (large Sprite & a large popcorn) and a pack of twizzlers. They add butter on for you, only the XL size have free refills, no burgers/ hotdogs/ pretzel bites, stuff like that but yet they have alcoholic beverages. The Sprite had no taste- it was like sparkling water, switched it to lemonade & it was worse- it tasted old & expired with an aftertaste, trash it goes. The popcorn was not fresh and the twizzlers were hard. Idk how this place is still in business... read more

I totally felt bad for the staff here. It was 90 degrees out and my family and I wanted to enjoy a movie given the Minions just came out. Opening Day, they should have expected a crowd. The air conditioning seemed to have conked out or not really working. There were stand alone fans at the concession stand and every theater had propped their door open for air. There were only two cashier's at the concession and one other staffer to scoop popcorn or get drinks filled. All three looked like they were in High School. (Eventually an adult appeared outside the theater on the second floor which was the maintenance/cleaning person and perhaps a manager finally appeared when I was leaving the theatre). The box office was closed so tickets were issued at the concession stand. A bit confusing as there were folks who wanted snacks as opposed to folks who just needed to scan and print tickets to get into the movie. Either way, lines were long and it was hot! I had half a mind to ask for a refund but management didn't disclose there was a problem. Grr. Seats are not reserved here, first come first serve. Stadium style seating and seats were comfy. But this visit, the air conditioner almost non-existent made the theater very uncomfortable. The fan or air coming from propping the door open helped. Just barely. Movie was supposed to start at 5pm, it started 30 minutes late. No announcements or anything were made. The movie was almost sold out as well so it was really rowdy when folks got antsy. I shall not return until they fix everything. A hot mess!! read more

Disappointed in Manhasset Theater's movie choices during Christmas week when several good movies out. Instead, they selected two kid films and an adult thirller??? read more

It's Friday night and they haven't posted their schedule for the weekend. Not even for tomorrow. If you call you don't get a schedule either. Fandango has it posted that they don't have the information from the theater yet. How can people plan if they don't know what's playing? I saw the message on yelp that said the theater was temporarily closed which would make more sense than not having the time to post a schedule. They'll be closed permanently soon is my guess. read more

The power went out in the middle of the movie. There was only one person working at the theater and they had absolutely no idea how to do anything. Complete incompetence - took half an hour to figure out how to get the projector back on and the movie to start. I will never return to this theater read more

Theatre floors are sticky and they can't get their act together. Just sat in movies for 30 min watching commercials. They couldn't get movie to work and never came in to say anything. Not sure how this place survives. It's nice having a local theatre but needs to be bought and taken over by someone else. read more

Classic theater on a vibrant Main Street! Needs a little love but definitely worth the trip. read more

This is a great local movie theatre, and it's clean. I don't know what all the complains are about. It's a local small business what would you expect? Although everyone is always friendly, It's always clean and I never had a issue read more

Great films in a retro atmosphere. So quirky in its decor and administration, like low profile like a hobby place for film. Seats are comfy in all 3 screening rooms, a tad too warm or too cold never just right. Volume is usually so loud I have to go tell them downstairs. A great neighborhood spot to enjoy a good film but don't expect the extras or pizzaz of the newer mega theaters and that's good. Hopefully they can eradicate that odd smell that permeates everything. read more

This is a intimate showing theatre. Interior is very nice, a/c is good as well as movie quality. This is a pretty good theatre with 1:40 screen to seating ratio. There are all good viewing angles with leather seats. Popcorn is a little on the salty side but soda is crisp and bubbly. The best part (* on tuesday's after 5, movie tickets are for 5*) read more

My wife and I went to see Ryan Gosling's new film, The Fall Guy, this evening at the Manhasset Theatre. We were very surprised that the house lights suddenly came up to full brightness as credits were rolling, washing out the screen. There was still "movie" to be seen. I went out to discuss this with, as it turned out, the manager. His response was that the lights come up automaticly so people can leave safely. I understand that some light needs to be available for those who want to leave the theatre, but enough to wash the screen out? The manager again repeated the safety message in the most officious manner. This discussion went on, and in no way did he acknowledge my displeasure or give me a sense that he cared about my experience at his theatre. read more

Held a kid birthday party there. The staff was fantastic especially Ryan. They added our daughters birthday message on the marquee. Lucky to have a theater like this in the downtown. read more

Recently saw "Zone of Interest" in theater 1 on 2/6/24. It was a terrible experience: the quality was terrible. The sound was awful while the picture quality was dark. I should've demanded my $13 back. Also, the female at the concession stand had no manors. When I was purchasing my ticket she was walked away as she was having issues with the ticket machine. This woman didn't say excuse me. When she came back she didn't say sorry. This was very rude. If I can give zero stars, I would. Highly unlikely I'll return. They just don't care. read more

It's a crying shame...such a cool old building-1925 the guys working there said. It's not the most comfortable but hello it's OLD. My problem? It is DISGUSTING! It's a crime this cool piece of Manhasset history is falling apart at the hands of whoever owns it. I wouldn't sit on ANY of those toilets. My husband said the men's room was even worse. I hope someone wakes up & gives this place the love it deserves! read more

we celebrated my son's birthday watching a movie. It was a little hard to understand who to contact (you should email gmcinemas@gmail.com) but once I got in touch the two guys that run the place were awesome. they were extremely flexible with time and movie played which made booking the birthday so easy. At the party we got a dedicated theater and the manager was so nice and accommodating. its just nice to have a local theater and I hope the community will keep supporting them so we can keep it! my son said it was the best party ever. read more

Great place to see a film. And big shoutout to friendly staff. Took my elderly father in law there, and indeed, it is handicap accessible. My father in law enjoyed the movie, was comfortably seated and old time atmosphere. read more

The Manhasset Movie Theatre, though old and dated, transports me back to simpler times where movie going was first in children's minds. Now all children wish to do is get drunk and use electronic cigarettes. They should take a page out of one of the staff member's book. A mild mannered, deep voiced young man who works behind the counter always greets me with a smile on his face, not to mention he is quite handsome. What an old soul! Preserve Manhasset's History! read more

Low staffed. Popcorn has way too much salt. And overall the service is horrible. Also, there are always people screaming through the movie. This isn't a first time thing. I've been here more than once, and every single time there have been people talking throughout the whole movie. read more

Clearview really went out with a bang when they sold out to Bow Tie. The seats are cushiony and leathery and the theaters themselves are always pretty clean, i.e. they don't smell. On the whole, it's a pretty understated old school cinema. The spacious halls have some framed pre-60s posters, and a chandelier hangs in the stairwell between the ground and upper floor. The theaters themselves aren't very ambient. Though they're not big-time-sized theaters, they could turn the volume up. Then again, that's probably for the senior citizens' sake. They sell mineral water and pound cake at the concessions stand, for crying out loud. I'm just disappointed that when they switched to Bow Tie they stopped introducing the features. It was a real plus to the experience. Made things a little more intimate. Now it's just a 3-theater cinema with 8-10 showings a day for 3 or 4 films at a time. It's pretty quiet now, in that respect. And I hate a quiet theater when it's trying to put on a show! I see a lot of unfulfilled potential here. That is all. read more

An attempt to see David Cronenberg's latest was a failure, as this theatre has "a dangerous method" of operating. First, there were some strange bars on the screen. They fixed that, but then were playing background music over the trailers. People complained and it persisted. The bizarre mashup with the "Carnage" trailer was funny, but it became serious when the racket continued as the movie itself began. They made no acknowledgement of the problem on their own, but when asked, they said it could not be rewound since it's a film reel. This seems unlikely. The only good part was the relative efficiency of the refund process once the manager appeared on the scene. As a result, we had to see "We Bought A Zoo" in Fresh Meadows. read more

This movie theatre is beyond disgusting. Couldn't even watch the first 10 minutes without people screaming in the theatre. Super dirty and unsanitary. We ended up leaving and couldn't even get our money back , the employees are lazy and didn't do anything about it. The soda and snacks are terrible , soda was flat so disgusting. Do not go to this theatre because you'll just be disappointed and won't get your money back. read more

I hated it was so hot popcorn was so dry the coke we ordered was not hydrating it wasn't even coke it was water! The place was so small and movie started 30 minutes after it was supposed to! Never going back! read more

I like this theater due to its location and the fact they get interesting films, not the run of the mill film for the masses. (Don't get me wrong, I like action as much as the next person) but I tend to like more thought provoking movies, and they seem to get them. It's a no frills theatre. The seats are comfortable enough, candy selection is same as most theaters but the staff is really nice. It's a quaint neighborhood spot, what to say.... read more

I saw Black Widow there today! The theater is OPEN. Yelp is incorrect in saying that it's closed. Please support it so it stays open. The staff is very nice. The picture and sound were very good. They have good pizza now too. read more

Malverne Cinema, Roslyn Theatre, and Manhasset 3 are all we got in terms of independent film, folks (in Nassau). This could be a five-star place for me if they offered morning showings and had a parking space (their biggest drawback); also, one bizarre thing: in Theater 3, the volume is consistently too low, especially when the air conditioning is running. Provided is the menu, which everyone needs but can never find (for any theater...). read more

Parking is a hassle here, but you can find it metered parking in the lot across the street, behind the stores. It was slow on a weekday early show that I went to. Only one person was working there and offered fantastic service. read more

Great to see that this movie theater is still here ... Grew up in Manhasset going to to this theater on the weekends .... I think I even saw Star Wars here for the first time ..... Great place to visit to catch a movie the way used to watch them ... Took the kids there last week ... they had a great time ! read more

I'm adding Manhasset Movie Theater to my Hate List. There's one employee here doing tickets and concessions, while he's having a cell phone conversation. There are no prices for concessions listed, let alone any sort of neighbor combo or free refill deals. I asked for a bag of skittles. He put a box on the counter and said "they stopped sending us the bags." I asked him how much the box cost. 4.50. I asked how much the bag had cost when they had it. 4.50. I told him the big is twice the size as the box. He said no it's not. I pointed out 3.5oz vs 7.2oz. He shrugged. He said he wouldn't give me the display bag (so that they could continue to falsely advertise what they were selling). I asked him is ownership had changed. He said yes, 7 months ago. I asked him who the new owner was. "A private company". I asked him the name. He shrugged. I asked "you don't know who your boss is?" He shrugged. I asked "is there a name on your paycheck?" He shrugged and walked away, back to his cell phone conversation. Inside the (unmarked) theater, trash from previous screenings has not been cleaned up. The only bright side is the move started exactly at the advertised start time. Probably because nobody would pay them to advertise their coming attractions. read more

Bow Tie Cinemas had a quick and efficient ticketing window. The seats were comfortable and the vibe was laid back. A good place to watch a movie with family or friends on the weekend. read more

A great, traditional movie theater. Nice spot to visit, if you're in the mood to take in an indie film. One of the theater rooms there, at the far end, has this cool, sort of stage/raised floor which extends out past the screen, so you can sit in the front row and you'll still be sitting plenty far away. It's very unique. Feels kind of like you're sitting in a moon room, watching a film. The theater is in a very nice area with plenty of meter parking. There's also a nice, tastefully done bar right next door if you're in the mood for a night cap, after the film. read more

It wasn't a bad movie theater but it wasn't great either. I saw Lincoln here and thought it was an okay experience. I would've preferred a newer and cleaner theater. Usually I go to a place in Whitestone but my friend invited me here one night so I decided to come. It got crowded pretty quickly the night I was here but luckily the theater itself didn't get too packed. read more

What a great theater,,,,,awesome seats, friendly staff,,, great concession stand i cannot wait to go back to this hidden gem it was so nice. The place looks so sparkling fresh and new and clean,,,complimentary hand sanitizers are located in numerous places,,,everyone had a welcoming smile on their face. The snack bar had cakes and cookies and things normally not found in typical Loews or AMC theaters,,,i really can't wait to go back again and see another movie in those comfortable huge rocking chair seats read more

The two downstairs theaters have comfortable seating with lots of legroom but the upstairs theater is a disaster. Avoid it at all costs! In addition to cramped seating, the sound system is horrible and dialogue is often unintelligible. read more

I love this theater. Six dollars on Tuesdays. Super comfy seats. It's clean and the employees smile. Great selection of films. Parking can be a bit challenging on the weekends. Just give yourself a little extra time. You'll find a space. read more

The GOOD- beautiful looking theatre. Great sound and picture. recently renovated and very reasonable prices.....the BAD- leather seats are so close together that even my average size wife (5'6") had NO room for her legs...I sat on the aisle which made it somewhat tolerable. No a/c today and parking is difficult at best (if you are seeing a movie that runs for 2 hours plus, you have a problem as street parking is very limited and municipal parking is limited to 3 hours. read more
