The Historic Granada Theater and Raleigh Street Cinemas — Attraction in Bluefield

This is specifically for the Raleigh Street Cinema which is part of the Granada theater. Don't go there if it's a movie you care about seeing, or more specifically, hearing.

They need to bring back the Gelato parlor on these hot summer days. I would and would prefer to see movies here over the new remodeled one...

Really beautiful old theater and a really cool experience. There's an attached ice cream shop where you can buy ice cream and beer or wine that you can take into the theater. However, there are only 2 booths that sell both tickets and concessions, so the line was long and the movie had already started by the time we got inside. Next time I would definitely buy my tickets online beforehand and wait until after the movie has started to get popcorn. Note, you can buy your tickets in the ice cream shop, which is faster, but alas, no...
