This lovely local theater plays an eclectic mix of media and is surprisingly large, making it a comfortable place to see movies.

The theater also hosts different movies every week and allows event rentals. With low prices and a charming, old-school atmosphere, this funky spot is a hidden gem. It includes a bar for adult beverages upstairs and couches throughout the seating area, making it perfect for a low-key date night.
