Great sound. Great film selections. Excellent cocktails. Lab is a terrific music space.

The staff was friendly and the place was nice, but my experience kind of sucked. I had to ask somebody to clean up the spilled soda all over my seats, but the bartender was nice and cleaned it up herself. But there was no lighting to move around and find your stuff, so you have to shine you phone in peoples faces. And we paid to see a 3 episode premier and they only played 2. It took 15 minutes for us to find somebody, half the theater was walking around looking and standing at the counter in the lobby. But somebody finally came out and was friendly and gave us refunds after somebody asked. Maybe it was a bad night, but I would go somewhere else especially for a date night

It’s the best theater in Athens, which isn’t saying a lot. The bathroom is clean and modern, seats are comfortable and heat up. Or they usually do. I sat in the max relax and the heating didn’t work on any of them. There’s also always popcorn in the wedges and sticky drink residue on the armrests and Ont he underside if you flip them over. Considering how slow it gets during the daytime/week surely someone can go around and clean the seats. Food is also pretty bad. But it is still the best theater in Athens.

I had a horrible experience at this theater. I was given tickets when I first arrived to see my movie for the wrong show time. I asked since the movie Iinitially paid to see at a certain time, if I could just swap the tickets for the following day, since when I arrived the movie had already started. The manager gave me tickets to see it the following day. I came back with my step son who is 13 just to be told I still couldn't see the movie because my step son was under 18. Eventhough the website age policy states anyone under the age 18 must be ACCOMPANIED BY A GUARDIAN 21 years or older. After telling the employee my tickets were approved by their manager. The guy finally just let me and my family use our tickets to see the movie, but he had to reprint them. After he reprinted my tickets we were given tickets to seats that I didn't want to sit. My family and I just made the best of it. But horrible experience.

An old fashioned movie theater at Athens downtown. I liked it.

Although you can no longer order from your chair in the theater, the food we ordered at the counter was ready quickly and was tasty. The seats are very comfortable and recline and have adjustable lumbar heating. I wish the cocktails weren't so expensive. Policeman on site made us feel secure.

Fun place to take a kid to the movies. Had a playground in the theater.

Had reserved tickets for my children for the opening of the Wild Robot. There were zero notifications on Google about it being closed. Everything else in town was open. Have you ever taken children to a movie they have been waiting to see for months only to disappoint them? Not fun. I was given 3 tickets for another time, but they are not reserved. I cannot call the theater as they only have automated systems. Why couldn’t they notify advanced ticket holders they were closed? Other closed businesses had updated Google so when you enter directions Google would notify you the business was closed. I understand the situation with the weather, but the notification they were closed was not acceptable.
We did return the following day and found great seats. The theater is overall great, I just didn’t appreciate the lack of notification they were closed.
went to an 8pm movie today (9/12) and the young guy at the counter was so incredible! guessed what movie we were there for, made jokes, persuaded us into getting popcorn, and was so kind. overall great customer service.

If you want to just watch a movie it's great But we had to roust up the concession guy from the back since he seemed to feel there were better things to do. Once we ordered food we moved to the bar. We waited about 10 minutes for a bartender the appear and when the concession guy popped his head back out, asked if there was anybody bartending. He has to RADIO for a bartender! Waited a couple more minutes and gave up. As we walked through the doors to the theater area we could hear "there's nobody here!" which was apparently from the bartender who had come in from outside. Both my wife and I had burgers that were little more than charcoal briquettes too.
Seats were comfortable and the movie was good. Might come back for that, but never again for a meal or drinks. And there are comfortable movie theaters closer to my house so...
