We're so lucky in Portland to have several really great independent movie houses. I was even more…read moreshocked I'd never been here after discovering how awesome this place is! The only downside I see is that the parking lot next to it doesn't belong to them according to the person I bought my ticket from. I have mobility issues so I park in ADA and did so. The lot has a ton of tow notices clearly stating customer parking only, but the building seems up for lease. And when I went back to my car, there was a very graffiti covered bent sign, which looked like it was saying parking for the theater. I'm paranoid because some of those tow companies are straight up scary. Just saying park at your own risk. The bathroom... clean, easy to navigate with soap, easy to use sink and you get to wipe your hands. Concessions - yes! And thank you for having such a great selection, actual ice, fountain soda... delicious popcorn that was fresh... and Bravo to the sweetheart responding to my epic butter request by demonstrating how heavy the bag was.... I love you so much! The prices are completely great too! I am always scared going in to a new space, especially when I am going to be sitting down in that seat for 2 hours. What a great surprise this was - when I picked the seat on the screen, the guy said he felt the ADA seat was really the best seat in the theater at Laurelhurst. After sitting down, I agree - the view was perfection and the seat was amazingly comfortable.

Told me he wasn't gonna sell me a ticket if I couldn't take my id out the wallet. Like cmon stupid pedantic and unnecessary. It's a movie theater job dude no need to be such an elitist prick.

I have been to this theater over a dozen times throughout the years, with many different people…read more First off... to all you whiney complainers that feel the need to complain about EVERYTHING (food, staff, parking, the sound of the speakers being too loud, seating, not being noticed fast enough at the bar, people getting food during the movie etc.) GET A LIFE. You are the reason that people hate customer service jobs. The customer is not always right. Yes, the tickets and the food are on the pricier side. YOU CAN SEE THAT ONLINE... where you order your tickets? Some of the comments on here complain about the food options, prices and menu, then order food still...? Only to complain more... Parking is not horrible or bad. I do not know why there were comments about that? Maybe people want front row parking? Get over it. I have NEVER had a problem with parking. Have you been downtown? where you actually have to pay for parking, and where there is literally nowhere close by to your destination to park? If you are a picky eater, cheap, or both, learn how to cook, and take the time to make yourself something to eat prior to heading to this, or any theater. The seats are comfortable; the staff has been great (at least from the many experiences I've had). The popcorn has always been good; I order it almost every time. (I like the Herbs De Provence). Mindset is everything. If you enter a building mad about the money that you spent on the tickets, and/or about the prices of the food (LEAVE). If you are the type of person who needs attention right away and they are busy (LEAVE). If you need front row parking and you get bent out of shape over having to walk a few feet (LEAVE). You, this establishment, as well as the staff, will be better off.

Honestly, this place sucks…read more Walk in for a movie. The vibe is immediately off. Is this place even open? Are we supposed to be here? I ask the bartender if I can order a drink. "No, go over there." She gestures vaguely in a direction... I guess I'm meant to walk down the hall? As I wander down the hallway, lost like it's my first day at a new school, I notice the decor. Koi pond screens in the floor. It sort of feels like this place was designed by ChatGPT. Or maybe some guy who went to Las Vegas once and took every idea home with him. (More on that later, but let's just say it's absolute chaos in there. I'm surprised there isn't a McDonalds ball pit in the entrance) Anyway, I walk toward a small gathering near the door of one of the theaters, where a man is physically blocking the entrance and giving people an extremely thorough sales pitch about the menu. When he sees me, he sends me back to the bar. What da hayl? After a few minutes, he returns, walks me back to the theater, and gives me the whole spiel on his iPad. Can I unsubscribe from this part? It feels like sitting through a timeshare presentation to get a free vacation, except the vacation is just entrance to the theater you bought overpriced tickets for. Okay, finally in the man cave, er, theater. Every room feels like a man cave with a different random theme. Man cave, but vaguely Japan? Man cave, but, dunno... log cabin? Man cave, but what if the floor was also a television? It feels like every idea anyone had during construction made it into the final draft. (I'm not sure if there is a log cabin room but there probably is) 15 minutes into the movie, a waiter comes in to take orders. Not during the previews for some reason (remember, you can't order for yourself at the bar before the movie). The waiter is talking as if we're having a conversation at a bar, and for some reason, he's printing paper receipts and tearing them at a decibel so extreme an erupting volcano would've given him a side-eye. Oh, the movie has subtitles? Yeah, he's also standing in front of you. I can literally hear every part of every conversation he's having with the other patrons. "DO YOU WANT POPCORN AS WELL?!" Overall the experience feels like a psychological experiment. I'm convinced that somewhere in Studio One a lab coat-clad scientist is asking: 'What if every single aspect of this experience was bizarre and awkward?' Or maybe a prank show. Is someone secretly filming us? Did I just drop money to be pranked? This is the only local theater I've ever been to that made me want to go to a corporate theater instead.

While the building had a nostalgic vibe, the ticket price didn't entirely correlate with the comfort level inside. Matinee tickets are $13.49, which was higher than expected given the lack of updated features. The seats were older fabric chairs without footrests or reliable features, and my seat had a constant creak. The sound quality itself is decent, but poor acoustic isolation was a drawback, since loud bass from the auditorium next door was heavily noticeable during quiet scenes. Logistics Tip: The theater has a classic, older layout where the main restrooms are located further down the hall near the concessions area rather than tucked near each hallway. If you like retro aesthetics, this is a fun throwback ambiance, but those wanting modern luxury seating and tight audio isolation may want to try other options.

We arrived about 15 minutes early for The Odyssey in the IMAX theater. There was a big crowd in the…read morelobby area. Word got around that they were cleaning the theater (still!) so wouldn't let us in. We wanted to buy snacks and nobody was allowed to buy from the concessions either. When I asked the guy holding everybody back, he said everybody would just storm the theaters so we all had to wait. We couldn't buy our food and go back to the waiting area. This really made no sense to me as then we all had mob the concessions at once and a long line formed. That put me off. But once we made it through and got our food, our experience improved. I hadn't been to this IMAX before. It was great! The chairs are very comfy and the temp in the theater was also pretty comfortable. I've been freezing in theaters, so appreciated that this one wasn't cold. Enjoyed the great sound and format of the IMAX for The Odyssey.

It's hard to pin down an identity here, and so you never know what to expect. That fact makes it impossible to make it your go-to theater. There are long stretches where whatever's playing is so obscure that you may or may not have use for it. And then every once in a while they'll have a culturally significant release that makes the whole wait worth it. It's a beautiful façade. It's fun to walk in the door. Sadly, the interior has been stripped down and hit with an ugly stick, but the spirit of the place is intact.

Recently I've been attending a few more shows here. They tend to have movies that no one else is…read moreshowing on occasion. It's such a variety also. I was drawn back because they were the only theater showing the Rocky Horror Documentary. I am so glad I stumbled on it and was able to squeeze in a showing! It was such a great movie. Then, just the other night I saw The Samurai and The Prisoner. I am ADA and usually have no issue getting into an accessible seat. I did show up, purchased a ticket on the way in for ADA - the whole row was marked empty... when I walked in, imagine my surprise that it was full of people who were supposed to be seated elsewhere. Being honest, people are so crazy these days - I am already exhausted so I just crawled up the stairs to the seats empty above. My food gets delivered and the guy was confused trying to deliver it to the guy manspread over three seats of ADA with his girlfriend and his coat and all his stuff thrown over chairs. I waved saying I had to move because they were in my seat. Suddenly manspread guy - it was exhausting seriously. He kept getting up and sitting back down and getting up and sitting back down while apologizing and saying I'll move all my things... at this point I'm already seated dude. I really just want to eat my flatbread pizza in peace and watch the previews. I genuinely had to ask him to please stop and sit down. So, hay - usually, us disabled people are already tired and broken and in pain - I really don't have it in me to deal with you. I get an ADA spot because walking up even one stair is painful but asking you to move and standing around while you do so - it's easier just pole vaulting up the stair. Being able bodied is temporary and I encourage you to please just be mindful of how your actions affect other people.

It used to be the Swedish Evangelical Mission Covenant Church. There's some cool millwork, antique light fixtures, and large curved staircases, but overall this is on the tamer side for McMenamins properties. The venue had standing room and high-tops on the same level as the stage. Upstairs is theater style seating that was decently comfortable and had a counter spot to put your drink. There weren't any bad views, and the sound system was better than I expected. I think there are two bars, one on each floor, but the upstairs one was closed for the small event I attended. They serve drinks and small bites, not full meals. Parking is challenging nearby.

Granted now a lot of these places are starting to try and raise prices to appeal to the mainstream crowd because how it works is if your price point is too low, you can't play certain movies there some kind of weird contract thing. This place has always been such an anomaly to me. It plays new an old movies called classic movies and just overall oddities. I never come here when I know what movie I wanna see but I often check their website websites to see what movie they're playing that I might be interested in.
