Gem of a theatre

June 29, 2015

It is a lovely theatre. Terrific follow up to dinner at one of Barrie's finer restaurants. The popcorn is great. Really an enjoyable theatre, and locally owned, not part of a chain.

The only place I will go to see a movie! Especially love the recliners! Great popcorn, great customer service, No crowds. Excellent price. Why would you go anywhere else?

Great movie value and variety in the heart of downtown Barrie!

December 13, 2014

I don't know how they make money charging $5 (taxes in) for a matinee movie...but it's the best deal around! My husband and I often go to a 4:00 Saturday movie ($10 total), then walk to one of the fabulous downtown Barrie restaurants for dinner afterwards. It's even better when we get theater #3 with it's comfy reclining seats! Movie variety at the Barrie Uptown is fabulous. They bring in the BFF (Barrie Film Fest) each fall, and also have film fest movies the first Wednesday/Thursday of each month, and then another one on the third Thursday for "date night". My only complaint is that cleanliness is sometimes an issue. We had to brush popcorn off our seats last weekend before sitting down (from the previous patrons). However, the good far outweighs this minor inconvenience for us.

Great place

August 19, 2014

Yes the lazy boy seating is wonderful, we all know that. However this theater is one of the most enjoyable places to watch a movie in Barrie. $5 tickets, and I'm happy to know it's not going to cineplex. The movies are not the usual movies you would see in any theater (the grand budapest hotel) the screens are big, and the fact that not many people go, which is bad in a way, I love! Noise is non existent and seats are ALWAYS available! So glad this cinema reopened I loved the imperial.

Was not worth the money...

July 07, 2014

I thought that this would be a nice theater but the cleanliness was not there (the bathrooms were disgusting), the video was somewhat blurry, but the customer service was a bit better than at ciniplex. The popcorn was awesome but there was little choices at the concession. over all, I give this theater a 2 star. and also the prices were lower than ciniplex, but, I don't think it was worth the money.

Really....

July 07, 2014

I honestly did not like my experience, the customer service was excellent but the video quality was poor and the cleanliness was poor (especially the bathrooms). I would not recommend theater to others because of the reasons listed above and the price was too high for what what you got.

DON'T JUDGE A BOOK BY IT'S COVER

March 09, 2014

This theatre is AMAZING and it's in an old-fashioned theatre with comfortable recliners. Much less expensive than Galaxy Cinemas and spectacular popcorn. Much less busy and very comfy!

Wonderful Customer Service

January 29, 2014

Very pleasant venue. I love to see the older theatres being used. No crowds. Early show was cancelled so we were given free tickets and went back for the second showing. Great popcorn. Only drawback was parking, but it was better for the late show. Really impressed with the way were treated by the courteous staff. We are visiting from out of town but will return when possible.
