Last weekend after working a lot for the past two weeks I finally had the the chance to see the movie Avengers: Endgame. I had a few dollars on an Esquire Theatre gift card and decided to go to my favorite neighborhood theatre. I don't live in Clifton but Northside is just across the viaduct and 2 miles down the road. I bought my ticket early for the 2 pm show at the concession stand/ticket counter. The three friendly student age employees provided great service. Later one of them was up front in the ticket booth. Showtimes before 4pm are $7.50. Screen 5 is of medium size & on the right side of the theatre. It was appropriately cool but not cold. The well cushioned seats are comfortable but do not have a headrest or fancy snack holders nor do they let you lean back. The sound system was clear and appropriately loud and the picture on the screen was of high quality. And the movie was great! The theatre lobby is nicely decorated with movie posters and merchandise to buy. There is street parking and validated parking in the lot across the street. I look forward to seeing more movies here especially on a warm summer afternoon or evening. Until next time be kind to each other. #yelpcincy...
Read moreEclectic movie options that change quickly; if there's an indie movie you want to watch here, watch it as soon as it's featured because it won't be here for longer than a week or so.
The food options here put chain movie theaters to shame: lots of wine and beer options and a really great array of pastries from the Bonbonerie. They're not cheap desserts, but there's no upcharge on any of them; that's just the price the bakery sets. Worth every penny.
The Esquire also offers cheap candies, soda, and popcorn, of course. I haven't tried the popcorn here so I can't comment on the flavor, but the smell is amazing.
The entire theater is clean and well-maintained. The seats aren't as plush as those found in newer movie theaters, but they're not uncomfortable and they're part of the historic appeal of this establishment.
There's plenty of food and coffee places within walking distance, so getting dinner or a quick snack before or after a movie is easier and more accessible than at most other movie theaters in the city, especially if you don't have the...
Read moreI liked this movie theater, and would come back.
Parking is really limited, and it's preferably if you can to get walking. Parking could be nearby, or street, but it is a bit difficult (but it is most related how complicated is that street to park).
Prices for tickets has been okay and good. They are actually cheaper than most big theaters, which make senses. It is important to understand this is not a big theater, but it is one who commits to make you feel comfortable and enjoy the movie. Popcorins here were delicious, and I love their name. I ordered the "Previews Only" one, and interestingly enough, it lasted for that long.
Rooms are okay, not recliner or stadium seating. However, they do its purpose. I love the selection of movies they get to bring. Seats might not be the most comfortable in the world, but no complain about it.
I'd come back, and definitely suggest if you really wanna watch a movie, then this cinema will fulfill everything...
