    Their delicious popcorn!
    Christina C.

    This is such an iconic movie theater in Columbus and honestly I'd rather come here over a movie theater chain any day. Their popcorn is so good and it's fun that they let you mix candy into it. They have a full bar which is awesome and I just love feeling like I'm supporting a local business. Just saw Sinners there last weekend and it was a great experience.

    This was my first time visiting so watch Barbie! First off, this place is so impressive! The entire theater was decorated in pink from floor to ceiling. We purchased tickets online, which was super affordable at only $10/ticket. As you walk in, there are drink and food menus and you order at the bar. All food items can be taken into the theater, including pizza! They do have some tables at the back of the theater to enjoy at, these do fill up fast so get there early! It takes about 20 minutes from ordering to the time your pizza is ready. We tried the hot swarm, which was fantastic and super spicy so beware!! They also had Barbie themed cocktails, I tried the sparkling pink, which was sweet and strong. I will definitely be returning to Studio 35 soon!

    Love Studio 35 - y'all come here so they can stay in business doing what they do! it's a great little independent theater on Indianola Ave in Clintonville. Street parking, so it is what it is. They only have a couple of movie options at a time, making it super laid back. Just check if what you want is showing before you make the drive. You can indeed purchase tickets in advance, but I haven't needed to. We usually come a little early to order pizza and end up finishing before the movie starts, but they do have some bar/tables inside if you want to dine during the movie. No service in the theater, so plan to run out to pick up your snacks from the bar. They have a pretty awesome selection of beer and cocktails, and I counted at least 5 flavor shakers by the popcorn machine. They also offer fun events - themed beer tastings, community productions, etc. and I'm pretty sure this is the go-to location for Rocky Horror if you need to catch that. I went to see Barbie here, because they have the WHOLE place decked out, with multiple places for photos, including a Barbie box, and themed cocktails. Also, and you can call me old, it is not cold in this movie theater. This alone is reason enough to go.

    What an amazing place. Where you can see new and old school favorites. We went to see the classic Cher movie Moonstruck and it was a sold out show. They had to turn people away. We stayed afterwards to enjoy pizza from Fibonacci's. It was outstanding. We had the Hot Swarm! which is House red sauce, House Cheese, Ezzo cup & char pepperoni, ricotta, pepper flake, Triple Hex hot honey and the Fig-a-ma-jig which is Garlic EVOO base, house cheese, goat cheese, prosciutto, organic Smyrna figs, organic arugula, fig glaze. They are 12 inches and 17 bucks each. Service was quick and friendly. Highly recommended!

    I have been coming here for a minute and really enjoy the divey, "Cheers" like vibe I get coming here. I seen a few movies here and actually like how chill it is. You can grab a bite or drink and chill before or during your movie! Seats are not assigned in some shows so if that's the case get there early!

    I absolutely love Studio 35! This is by far the coolest, chillest, best movie theater in the city. The vibes are immaculate, it feels like an old school theater and everything about it is just so cozy. I actually have yet to see a movie here, but I've come multiple times just to meet up with friends and have a few drinks and a bite to eat. They have fantastic prices and a great menu. For example, $5 Tito's on happy hour is awesome and hard to find around the city, and their pours are generous to boot. Their custom cocktails are also fantastic; the last time I was there I had some kind of brandy-based mule. I don't think I've ever even had brandy before, but it was amazing and so delicious! One absolute must at Studio 35 is the pizza. It's so random that a movie theater would have amazing pizza, but to be honest this is some of the best pizza I've had in Columbus! The crust is delightful, the perfect combination of chewy and crispy. Ugh I can't wait to come back again soon literally just for the pizza alone. Anyway, this place totally rocks. If I lived in the Clintonville area I would probably be there every other night. I can't wait to come back soon (and see a movie)! Check this gem out ASAP if you've never been!

    Fantastic local theater. I LOVE THAT I CAN SEE CLASSICS HERE. I even brought my kids to see Singing in the Rain last weekend. Great service, great pizza - we had a pepperoni for the kids and a FIG-it-about it, fig spread, cheese, arugula - it was just fantastic. Great service and beer selection. All in all you can't go wrong. Parking is a bit of a pain, when I have attended movie/beer tastings I just uber/lyft, its safe and so much easier that trying to park on those Clintonville streets.

    I love Studio 35! I have been coming here since I was a kid. Mostly for Rocky Horror Picture Show productions with the fishnet mafia. So many memories and too much fun! When I was a kid, there was just an entry way, regular movie snacks, and then the theatre. Now it has a full bar and restaurant in the front section and it's absolutely awesome. This year I have visited twice-- once for the Barbie movie premier and again to see Stop Making Sense, the Talking Heads concert movie. For Barbie the place was absolutely DECKED OUT. It was the full pink experience. Barbie box, pink streamers, themed cocktails, etc. It was definitely the full experience and easily could have rivaled any of the best opening showings of the movie anywhere in the country. Both times this year I ordered pizza and a cocktail and was not disappointed. The old fashioneds and manhattans are epic. I also love that the back row has tables-- perfect for bringing a pizza and beverage into the movie and enjoying them like you're in your own home. This is definitely my go-to movie theatre.

    Cutest little movie theater and bar. Staff was friendly and the locals were a hoot to talk to. You can tell this place has a lot of love in the community. Pizza and salad were delicious. Movie theater itself was nice. Seats are comfy and plenty of space

    Studio 35 is a great spot to meet up with friends or for a date night. They rotate movies often from classics to new releases, and even some special events like beer tastings or Rocky Horror Picture showings. When you walk in, you will check in for your movie. They have candy, popcorn, soft pretzels, a full bar and a pizza menu by Fibonaccis. Sometimes they have drink specials for a specific movie showing. You can bring pizza/food and drinks into the movie.

    I went here for The Rocky Horror Picture Show, and although the pre-show ran waaay too long, I had fun.

For our visit, they were showing the silent version of The Phantom of the Opera with a live orchestra. This was our first visit to this theater so we got there early to look around. There is a convenient parking garage located directly behind the theater and if you remember to ask, they will validate your parking ticket for $2.00 (we did not remember to do this so we paid $11.50 for three hours!!). They were showing this film on Halloween night, which was also a Friday night, so the University District was hopping! It was fun to walk around and see all of the costumes and various parties going on before heading into see our movie. Since this was a special showing it cost us around $55.00 for our tickets, but we ordered them in advance and were able to pick the seats we wanted. They allowed everyone inside the theater 15 minutes early, so there was quite a long line waiting once we were near the theater door. We saw others carrying soda and popcorn, but couldn't figure out where the concessions stand was! We were barely able to figure out where to find the bathrooms, so we gave up on the popcorn once the door opened for the movie. Once the door was opened, we went in and found our seats. Very comfy seats!!! We sat in the fifth row, so the screen was higher than our seats, but oh so cozy. The show was fantastic, the live orchestra did a smashing job! Very enjoyable visit!!

We were attending a 12:45 movie, and the doors didn't open until 12:15. I'm not sure if Sundays always follow the 30-minutes-before-showtime rule, but it's worth noting. The bar area is spacious and open anytime. The theater itself was on the smaller side but still plenty roomy, with very comfortable chairs. Each seat has a narrow table in front for food and drinks, which was a nice touch. The surround sound system was solid. Parking is mostly located behind the building and can be pricey when enforcement is in effect. Unfortunately, the theater can't assist with parking since it's not their lot. The bartender was fantastic--very friendly, explained where the theater was, how ordering works, and answered all of our questions since it was our first time there. We ordered pizza, which came out quickly and was delicious. We tried the Elephant and the Hot Swarm--both excellent. They offer 40 beers on tap, along with cider, wine, and hard liquor. There are also board games scattered throughout the space. I'll definitely be back.

Not the best in technology but it gets the job done. Zero complaints from me. We walked in and there is a bar area to the right. They have everything you could want for the movies. Beer, popcorn, candy and even pizza. I bought a tall beer and popcorn and did not have to mortgage the house. It was $17. Water was free. Thank you! We walked into the theater and they have tables setup so you can sit at and put your drinks and snacks on the table instead of having to hold them on your lap. What a great great idea! The couple a few spaces from us had a large pizza in front of them. The chairs were extremely comfortable and it was the perfect getaway date night. We will definitely be coming back here to see more movies. Great and friendly staff. The two women did a fantastic job helping us.
