Who doesn't love an arthouse movie theater? I'd been meaning to catch a movie at the Broad since it opened and here we are 10 years later. I don't go to the movies more than once or twice a year for a variety of reasons (mainly due to the audience around me not being respectful and at the high cost of a movie ticket, I don't always see the value), but I wanted to see The Bride in a theater and I was thrilled to see it was playing here. The lovely ticket salesperson was very welcoming and a great representation of the theater. The concession/bartenders, however... I felt disliked and I try to lead with kindness so I'm not sure if it was a rough night or whatever. The guy cleaning the theater was also super nice and I felt bad that he was doing it on his own, given how inconsiderate movie patrons can be (is it so hard to take your trash out with you?) The movie experience itself was very good, with stadium style seating that I didn't expect. Prices are lower than at your typical AMC etc and I appreciated the wine selection. I also admired their community events and special showings. It reminded me a lot of one of my favorite arthouses in NYC, the Angelika. read more

We LOVE the Broad theatre! This is where I took both my kids for their first movie experiences. They usually have some type of photo ops set up for the premieres or special viewing they have going on. We love to catch their $6 Tuesday promotion since it's usually a lot less people to disturb and they always have a good selection of films both new and classics. This was my first time getting a cocktail here and it was GOOD and STRONG lol. I there's also an arcade area and Little Free Library inside which we love. read more

The Broad Theater is a true gem in the neighborhood--perfectly placed for downtown dwellers of New Orleans ( if you're from New Orleans, you know what I mean about downtown vs uptown crossing either sides of Canal) Locally owned, it's the kind of spot I love to support. The food and drinks? Honestly, they outshine Canal Place by far. With fresh films rolling in constantly, this place stays at the top of my list. Always a fave, always worth the visit. read more

I love this little theater! It's locally owned and so cute inside. There's even a little library with books and VHS tapes!! Good popcorn. Good drinks. I wish the parking lot were bigger. But any amount of parking in the city is welcome. I'll always return to enjoy movies here read more

I have fallen in love with this neighborhood theater. I've been here several times now, and can't believe I haven't reviewed it yet. This theater has a real neighborhood feel. It's small enough to give you that intimate vibe, but still has all the things a big theater has to offer in the way of refreshments. I'm sold. read more

I give this tiny theater, five stars for quaint awesomeness. This is the opposite of the gigantic regal. They serve drinks, yummy snacks, and even hotdogs everything was delicious. I really enjoyed my movie in the comfortable seats. I will have to say that it is not a big super chain and maybe a little bit on the rustic side. But that said, I thought it was really cool, and I will totally go back. read more

The Broad Theater - Super cool, small movie theater - Cinema Near Me - New Orleans, Louisiana

Locally/privately run theater , small intimate setting ! Found on Google search to catch The Color Purple Movie!! Was clean and very functional. Very safe area in New Orleans not far from the French quarter . It's a must visit !!! Have all the amenities (small arcade ) and food/candy as the large movie theater chains!! Definitely worth a visit !!! Serve beer and wine..and I think I saw margaritas on the menu but can't be sure on that !! Unsure if have food other than nachos ! The popcorn was delicious and fresh !! read more

The Broad Theater - Nothing like some wine and popcorn at 1045am - Cinema Near Me - New Orleans, Louisiana

I absolutely love the Broad Theater. It reminds me of going to the movies when I was a kid when movie theaters were not all attached to shopping malls. This is definitely a neighborhood theater which is locally owned. The food options are excellent. There are excellent hotdogs, popcorn, and other goodies. The folks that own this place also own The Broadside next door. You can get food there and bring it over to the theater. There is also a good wine selection et cetera. Is the theater experience equivalent to an IMAX or Dolby in one of the big box theaters? No it is not. But I still love coming here especially $6 Tuesdays lol. I hope you will find the time to patronize this locally owned theater. read more

Music + the Body on September 1st was an exceptional program!! It was a thrill to see composer, Jeff Beal, as he not only performed his own work at the piano, but educated us about how music has a healing effect on the body. Known for his popular film and television work, he shared how his own health challenges and the love of his wife Joan, as well as the memory of his mother, have inspired some of his classical work. It was an added treat to hear Kelly Hall-Tompkins, who' makes her violin sound like a singer, and all under the baton of Grammy award winning conductor Leonard Slatkin! read more

this theater is a hidden gem, offering a cozy and nostalgic atmosphere and feels like stepping back in time. The staff is absolutely amazing. Going above and beyond to ensure an exceptional experience. A warm welcome and hospitality with a uniqueness for a memorable movie night.. Heather M read more

Super cool spot to hang out, even if not seeing a movie. I spent a couple hours here late in the day into the night drinking beer and playing pinball. The games were all pretty well taken care of. The bar was inexpensive, and the food the good. read more

The Broad Theater - Good spot to chill and play some pinball. - Cinema Near Me - New Orleans, Louisiana

You should definitely come here instead of a chain owned theater whenever you can! EVERYTHING is cheaper here and they have a huge drink menu and plenty of snacks. The bar is really cute and a nice place to wait for a movie to start. The theater was comfy and the sound was excellent. Only slight issue was the popcorn tasted kinda old. I'm sure they'd remedy it if you asked though, they seem nice. read more

Great theater but omg for fucks sale get a better online payment system. The PayPal thing sucks. I've now logged in three times and still can't get a ticket. read more

No WiFi ("modem fried"). Policy allows people to buy tickets and walk into a movie at any time during the showing, which is highly annoying when you are watching (happened to me twice; once in Oppenheimer, once in Barbie). It's a basic, no frills theater, with good movies and bad soundproofing, but I like it. I just wish their WiFi worked and their ticket sales policy would stop ticket sales ten minutes after a movie starts. read more

First of all the bar! Excellent bar service and excellent cocktails. I had the hibiscus margarita and it was so refreshing! I went here to see the movie NOPE. I had the big tub of popcorn with extra butter as well. The staff was friendly and accommodating and the place was clean. I enjoyed the movie too! read more

The Broad Theater - Hibiscus margarita - Cinema Near Me - New Orleans, Louisiana

Ever since this little neighborhood theater opened less that a mile from my house, I almost don't even bother with other theaters. Everything I want in a movie house can be found right here!They have a great selection of all of the popular movies, plus a nice smattering of Art-House-Style films. They have a great bar selection and small-ish theater spaces and fun food options. I will recommend buying your tickets in advance because the theater spaces are smaller they do have a limited number of seats, and the last time I showed up without advanced purchase, we ended up having to go way out to Metry to catch the movie we wanted to see. read more

Having been in New Orleans for 7 years, this was my first visiting the Broad Theater! It's a historic Black owned theater in one of the many New Orleans neighborhoods. There's a small parking lot and street parking available for its patrons. Inside, there's a small bar and kitchen to order drinks, cocktails, popcorn and small bites. My friends and I arrived early so we sat at the bar and ordered up a Crown and Ginger Beer. If you've never tried that combo, please do! However, beware the ginger kills the taste of crown and before you know it you will have drank a few and your tipsy! I ordered another C&G and small extra buttery popcorn! The seat is first come, first served. It was 3/4 full upon walking in to grab our seats. I don't know about anyone else but I'm always cold in the theater! Since this theater room is so small, I felt like air was blasting directly on me- I needed a Blanket. I survived two hours & half hours though. Oh, we went to see Queen & Slim. Completely shot in New Orleans! The movie is bomb, my vote is it's the BEST film of 2019! I'll be back again! read more

$6 MOVIES ON TUESDAYS Now that's a deal that can't be beat, especially when going to a movie theatre that I definitely want to order popcorn at! The atmosphere at the Broad Theatre is unmatched, what other movie theatre has a cocktail bar and an established lending library. Your experience watching the movie may depend on which theatre the movie you're going to see is being shown in. Some of the theatres of motorized reclining chairs and others are less fancy. My chair had a couple tears in it which I didn't mind much but made it slightly less comfortable for the duration of the movie (Asteroid City: 3.5/5) read more

It's a nice, clean little theatre. A little dated in the theatre I was in...that being older seats and sound system. The material on the walls of Screen 3 are a little old. Overall, though. It close to my neighborhood, has current films, nice little bar and you can get food and popcorn, too. I like it! read more

Pandemic update Love this neighborhood theater and so when they reopened and were showing the latest Bill & Ted movie, I had to go. I mean I saw the first two in the movie theater... I went on a weeknight for the last show and attendance was sparse. And about 1/2 the theater seats were blocked off. They had signs everywhere reminding you to wear your mask and I purchased my ticket in advance so that was contactless, but I did pay cash for my cocktail while enjoying the movie. Staff was great as always. And bonus there was a preview of Alex Winters and the director (I think) thanking the Broad for their hospitality while filming the movie. Good times. read more

THIS PLACE!!! It rocks my socks! There is always a movie I want to watch, the popcorn is great, and they have killer hot dogs! There are games and even a full bar! Baby Hell, sometimes I stick around just for another drink and see if there is a 2nd movie to check out. Grab a beer, some popcorn and don't forget a wiener! Enjoy! read more

My favorite theater! There is nothing better than being able to support a local business without breaking the bank. They have a great bar and wonderful customer service!!! $10 or less tickets, $7 giant popcorn, $4 abita seasonal, $6 draft pints or $24 for a pitcher. read more

Comfy, convenient, cocktails, cuisine what more could you ask for. So much better than the big empty theaters.

I never go to movie theaters...but when I do I go to the Broad Theater. Tickets are very reasonably priced. They have a great bar here, refrigerated snacks (cheese plates, sandwiches, etc.), and right now, a more substantial food option (Milkfish, which I haven't tried yet). The staff here is very friendly and the seats are comfortable. Parking can be tough here which is my only major complaint. I love seeing shows here! read more

First time visiting this theater and I must say it will not be my last. I went here on 04/19/23 to see Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves. The theater staff was amazing and very helpful. It was nice and clean. I tried a strawberry adult drink and it was amazing. The popcorn was great. Overall great experience. Will definitely be returning read more

Broad theatre is my neighborhood spot! Love love love The broad. Unfortunately, the last time we went we were disappointed about the service. My husband and I were recently there to see 'talk to me' which was awesome!!! However, we were surprised with how unbothered the staff was towards us. There was a brunette girl and a guy, whom we've been seeing for years and has always been so pleasant. They simply could not be bothered by our presence. They just stood there talking amongst themselves like we weren't even there! We still love The Broad but we left feeling very agitated with our experience. Deserves 5 stars but the service was just flat out lame. read more

I loved this theater! I was in town and wanted to catch a movie because of the rainy weather. I searched for the nearest place to my hotel. I'm so used to going to the big name theaters but I loved Broad's size and the customer service! The staff were so nice! I also loved the rice crispy treat from the concession stand!!! read more

This theater is even more of a treasure now that Canal Place has closed. I love all the snack and drink options - in addition to standard movie fare like popcorn and candy, you can get freshly baked cookies and the biggest and most delicious-looking rice krispie treats I have ever seen! Just about any alcoholic beverage you could think of is available - several kinds of beer, mixed drinks, red and white wine, bubbles, by the glass or bottle. I love being able to order a bottle of bubbles and watch a movie. Yesterday I tried the frozen paloma (2 frozen drink options are available) which was not only tasty but very strong, an excellent value! As others have noted, the seats are large and comfortable. Please support this awesome little theater! read more

Listen...I thoroughly enjoy thus small theater. Honestly it makes me feel like VIP or something! LMFAO! I really enjoy the fact that this spot has adult beverages and good Un-traditional snacks. I also love the fact that this theater has blockbuster hits and then independent films as well. So for a spot with only Four Cinema screens I think they are winning in my book!! I have to let you guys know this serious thing. Warning: The parking lot is small and tight so parking can be a hassle folks. Warning ONE MORE Time: Weather can be very hazardous to the parking so please be mindful of a little to maybe a lot flooding due to location and sea level position of the wonderful theater. You can be watching the movie going with sunshine and leave out with some light street flooding. Overall enjoy yourself Herr because I know I did!! read more

Get the cajun boiled sausage hot dog and thank me letter. I just love this theater. Not only do they have popcorn and pints specials, they show very dope films there. read more

I had never been to the Broad Theater, as it doesn't look like much from the outside. But, as they say, Don't Judge a Book by its Cover. A meet up group I am in made plans to come here and see a new release movie, and I am glad I came. The parking is tight in the lot, but there is plenty of parking nearby on the side streets. Like I said, it does not look like much on the outside. The entrance is on the side of the parking lot, in front of you are the theaters, to your left is the ticket counter and the bar/food area. I bought my ticket and headed to the bar to find my group. All of the food looked appetizing and my friends said the drinks were strong. It was a nice area to hangout before the movie starts. When it came time to go into the theater, I had no idea based on the exterior that there were 4 theaters in here! I had thought one, maybe 2. Granted, this is not your theater style seating, but the chairs are comfortable. There is no one at the door to check your ticket. But, the screen was fitting for the size. The restrooms were neat and clean. I am so glad I came to see a movie here, and look forward to coming to see movies here in the future! read more

This small movie theater has its irksome qualities; notably an unimpressive parking lot that forces many of its customers to roam dilapidated local streets, and a policy of making people wait in line to buy tickets at the bar while employees serve drinks. The theater itself, however, offered very comfortable reclining seats, and a small screen but a nice selection of movies that you might not be able to see on a really big one. I was satisfied in that I saw the movie I wanted to see, was comfortable while I watched it, and a matinee didn't cost too much. read more

This is a very cute and unassuming movie theater! It's an old building that was converted so it feels very casual and nice. They don't have a ton of big screens, but they were showing the big, summer blockbusters. As with most movie theaters they keep it on the colder side, but not like an ice box. This theater has the lovely feature of a full bar and lots of snacks. Happy hour is mon-fri 4-6pm. They offer $5 wine, beer and well drinks. I came on a weekday to see a late matinee, so the ticket was just $8, which is very reasonable compared to paying at least double that in NYC. I was one of only a couple of other people there and it felt like my own private viewing. Lots of fun! read more

The Broad Theater is my go-to for movies. Close to home and super convenient, this is exactly what New Orleanians look for in our local movie house. They have 4 screens and big, comfy chairs in each. There is limited seating however, and things often sell out. We always make it a point to arrive at least 30 minutes early to both get a drink at one of the two bars and grab a seat early. Insider tip, get your tickets via Fandango first (you still have to go to the ticket area to redeem, but you will guarantee yourself a seat.) This theater has "local" written all over it. They serve New Orleans craft brews, have some mom-n-pop food pop ups, cater to the local nonprofit scene for film fests, and play a few indy films. You can even connect with them about movies you'd like to see play there. The space is very clean and bigger than it looks, although parking can be a problem. And, sadly, when the S&WB messes up, sometimes it floods (which is even more reason to support them). Feel good about supporting local business and get your movie fix here! read more

The best movie theater in New Orleans (and beyond!). It has the feel of a neighborhood bar, but with movies. Excellent food and drinks at reasonable prices. And no sticky floors! read more

What a nice independent movie theater. Caught the latest Guy Ritchie film The Gentlemen. Great movie by the way. This theater is very nostalgic in its appearance with a full bar. Price are reasonable for Newly Release movies. Seats are comfortable and the prepackaged zebra popcorn was delicious. Let's just says I'll be back to watch Mulan when it hits theaters in a few weeks. See you then, and great job to the staff keeping the place clean. read more

The Broad is a nice local theater. The screens are a little small, but the whole place is nice and cozy. I enjoy watching movies here. They have a bar with beer, wine, and mixed drinks. Although I haven't ordered from the bar, the selection is pretty nice. They sell local sweet treats and snack boxes. I once got the ice cream sandwich and I highly recommend it. Most recently, I went see Avengerz: End Game on opening night and they had a pop up selling food. I forget the name, but it was this delicious Filipino kitchen. I ordered milkfish, a whole smoked fish with grilled peppers and crab fat rice (I'm drooling just reminiscing on it) and mango sweet rice. I may go back to the theatre just for the food. read more
