OMG...this place! First off, they've been open since 2017 so why they didn't have a Yelp page yet is beyond me but anyway...WOW, I can't wait to go here again. And that's saying something, considering I live 4 hours away. The Barnyard is part cinema, part quaint bar, part amazing event venue. I was in town over the weekend with some girlfriends and we noticed they were playing the new Top Gun: Maverick. Yes, the #1 hit movie in the entire world right now was playing in little ol' Winthrop, WA on its opening weekend! Being in our middle ages we were more than happy to grab our tix online for the 8pm showing for the nostalgia factor alone, not really knowing what to expect from the movie OR the tiny theater. Well, lemme tell you, this theater is what all movie theaters should strive to be. It was small (maybe 100 seats? I'm not great at counting...), with not just theater-style seats but plush Barcalounger-type recliners which woulda been a great place to catch a nap except, it was TOP GUN and who could sleep through that? Next, they don't drop the screen until the movie starts. So while we were waiting we were treated to GORGEOUS views of the valley and snow-capped mountain peaks. It. Was. Magical. I'd be sad if I forgot to mention they have a full bar with great local beers on tap, plus snacks and (of course) the requisite movie theater candy and popcorn. I'd be more than happy to just pop in their cute little space for a cocktail even if I wasn't seeing a movie. Oh, and the sound system was great too. Highway to the danger zone, baybeeeee! read more

This place is an absolute GEM! We are visiting from out of state and staying in Winthrop. We passed it on the way in loved the concept and style of the building. We decided to see a 6 o'clock movie (Top Gun, which was terrific). The inside is adorable. They have a snack bar with popcorn and candy and also a bar which I believe was liquor and beer and coffee. I highly recommend making it a point to enjoy a movie here if you are visiting Winthrop! read more
