    Outdoor of the venue is beautiful, with an old-style marquee that lights up Little Havana at night.

    Such an iconic theatre in the heart of Little Havana. This theatre has such history, and it's beautiful that the staff has maintained its look for so many years! I've attended events and screenings here, mostly for the Miami Film Festival. The theatre has two rooms inside, one concession stand, and a small seating area. Staff has always been kind and helpful when needing film information. A normal day in Calle Ocho for any tourist or local should include watching a film at this theatre.

    Learned about this theater while looking for somewhere to relax in Miami. Managed and owned by Miami Dade College, this two screen theater specializes in showing independent films which are rarely shown in big chain establishments. Medium popcorn is available but no butter was present. Coke in a can from the concession stand adds to the little touches that make this a memorable experience. After the movie, walk outside to the many restaurants in Little Havana. Very nice and clean theater to view movies you probably wont see anywhere else. Highly recommended.

    This is the best theater in South Florida to watch foreign and independent movies. It is located on 8th street across the Azúcar ice cream store and next to the Dominoes park. The theater offers the most varied selection of foreign films and it serves as one of the screening venues for several events such as the Miami International Film Festival. The concession stand inside the theater offers a varied selection of drinks and snacks such as popcorn, guava bars, planters, different types of coffee and sodas. The only issue is parking which is very limited and hard to find. I recommend the theater to all movie enthusiasts, I've truly enjoyed the films shown here.

    My first time there. Loved it. Lots of charm. Easy accessible. Calle Ocho around it so lots of snack food before. I bought croquettas. Inside also a snack shop with MDC delicacies try it! Movie theater was pretty empty. And I was happy there were subtitles!

    A tiny 1926 Art Deco gem in the middle of the Arts District of historic Little Havana neighborhood. 2 screens showing Great Foreign (mostly South American) films. If you're trying to catch that current Foreign Oscar nod., try Tower Theater. I've driven by the place a few times and finally got the check it a few years back for the screening of "White Elephant" - What is There to Save? A film about the forgotten Miami/ Bobby Maduro Stadium (demolished 2001). It was located just west of I-95 in Allapattah (2301 NW 10th Ave). The stadium had one of the sickest Cantilevers circa 1949. It's history not only includes South Florida's first Minor League teams but was also the Spring home to the Baltimore Orioles (30+ years). Cuban revolution (yes, you read me right), and Civil Rights unrest. The Point is,... Tower Theater gave me the opportunity to catch this documentary on Miami history. Helping me to recognize, grasp & truly begin to understand a little more about this city. My city. My home. Tickets are $6.00,. $5 if w/ student ID. Best deal is to get the 5 for $20 special. 5 single entries to future showings. They hole punch your purchase receipt so do not throw away. Parking always free in back and street after 1800.

    Tower Theater is an interesting little art house type of cinema theater in Miami. It caters mostly to intellectual crowds, offering independent and cultural films, many of which are foreign and/or award-winning. You probably will not find Hollywood's latest blockbuster. It is known as one of Miami's oldest cultural landmarks, dating back to 1926. Back then, it was the finest state-of-the-art theater in the South. Built in the Art Deco style, it features an old-school ticket counter, and no kiosks for self-checkout. It was remodeled in 2002 and is clean and well-maintained. There are two screening rooms for movies and not too many seats, bathrooms are upstairs (you can take an elevator), and they also sell concessions on the ground floor. I am not sure of the prices of the concessions, but movie tickets cost $11.50, which is the same price as most large movie theaters, like the kind you'd find in a mall. The audience seems to be older. My friend and I came here to watch "Remember" a Canadian suspense film starring Christopher Plummer and it was great. I did not find any other movie theater in Miami that was playing it! One of the reviewers mentioned that they don't remind people to turn off cellphones -- well, they have addressed that problem, and very forcefully, with an ad featuring the judge scene from "Law Abiding Citizen" starring Jamie Foxx. The judge says she can talk on her cellphone because she is a judge and can do what she wants, and as soon as she answers her ringing cellphone, it explodes. The camera then pans to the ground, and we find her on the ground with a pool of blood around her head for having answered her phone. People laughed, clapped, cheered, got the message, and turned off their phones. The parking was our only issue in coming here, as the parking lot in the back was full, street parking is only available for 2 hours, and so we took our chance parking by a house within the neighborhood and walking. My friend was worried we'd get towed and although that did not happen, it kind of ruined our experience and my friend was on edge, worried, throughout the movie.

    My favorite movie theater in Miami. Simple, straight forward, no frills. Great location, excellent selection of movies and tasty concessions. Tried my first alfajores here. No complaints! See you soon.

    Watching "Loving Pablo" with Javier Bardem and Penelope Cruz.

The two Roman pillars don't feel intimidating at all, they actually guide you into the experience, welcoming you into a lobby filled with posters of acclaimed and classic films that instantly set the tone You're then greeted by an incredible team, Conny and Mary, who truly feel like part of the show. From freshly popped warm popcorn to a variety of seasonings like BBQ, garlic parmesan, and caramel sea salt (yes, you'll want to try them all ), the concessions feel like a nostalgic treat. They've got all the classics, M&M's, Crunch, and even elevated options like crystallized almonds and cashews. Plus, sodas and even local beers? A perfect lineup Conny and Mary are always smiling, clearly enjoying what they do, and it shows. After the movie, I noticed the theater unfortunately left messy by some attendees, but they handled it with grace and never missed a beat. That level of care doesn't go unnoticed The programming is another highlight. You can always count on a curated selection, old-school classics, Sundance-worthy films, and international gems from Latin America, Europe, and Asia. It's something you don't easily find elsewhere in Miami, making this place truly special It's also a fantastic spot for seniors or international audiences who prefer films in their native language. Personally, I'm a huge fan of their European selection Thank you, Mary and Conny, for making it so memorable. To all cinephiles: this is where you come to experience film the way it was meant to be seen: pure, artistic, and immersive

The concession has the usual: hot dogs, popcorn, icee, etc. I think what knocked a star off my review was the costumer service. First I asked the attendant if the nacho cheese was spicy, he assured me it wasn't and gave me the slightest attitude. When he brought it over I quickly read the ingredients and there it was, Jalapeño (I can't have that for health reasons). Then after we paid for the icee he told us it was not ready, he said it would be 5 min... it was 15. No apologies or anything. We asked if someone could bring it since our movie was starting, and there were 5 of them behind the counter and no line, he said no. Sigh. Anyways, the theater itself was lovely but the experience at the concession stand deflated the mood. And having to miss part of the movie to go out and get the icee, was disappointing.
