New Port Theater — Attraction in Newport Beach

If you are looking to rent this venue, I HIGHLY suggest you look elsewhere. We had our first walk through with Celina in 8/2022 (with our event stated for 7/2023) and after seeing the space and discussing our needs, were given an agreeable estimate. Email communications continued with Celina throughout 8/2022 and we were given permission to postpone a down payment at the time. Fast forward to March 2023 and we emailed Celina asking for directions to pay our deposit. They kept trying to upsell us more time in the venue, which we did not need. We just had our second walk through 5/17/23 with Kristi and she confirmed everything from our initial quote minus a change to seating costs (adjusted for more seats). There was NO change to our event whatsoever besides the seating arrangement. Today, 5/18/23, we were just sent a NEW quote from Steve (Port Management Theater) where the grand total ballooned from $5,912.88 to $19,200.76!!! We have 2 months until our event, and we have been blindsided. This business will take advantage of the opportunity at hand... changing a price at the 11th hour when most other venues are already rented and reserved is outragous and an egregious way to conduct business. I have email proof of all the above and will gladly send it along to...

This will be a party service based review for Dalma, Ivy, Riley, Hagen, and Khaleel as opposed to the movie experience.

We came here to celebrate our cousin's 40th birthday. It was a blast having the whole venue all to ourselves. Open bar, catered food, live band, you name it! People walking outside were even surprised you could make party reservations at this location!

We had quite a few kids come though making a mess though 😅. But after seeing the hard work Dalma, Ivy, Riley, Hagen, and Khaleel put into not only the clean up, but also just embodying the chill guy/girl meme when it came to their kindness and customer service, especially with the kids, I knew these weren't your regular movie employees. They really gave it their all in their job and are quality people. Come to this theater soon whether you see movie or reserve a party while these employees are there. Because with their quality of work, they'll probably move into bigger careers in life, so come soon while they're still working here for impeccable service!

10 stars out of 5. They went above and beyond. Highly...

Most definitely the best place in town to watch a movie out!! Everything from the staff (Nick goes out of his way to make sure you're set!) to the great (and clean!) restrooms and cushy leather recliner seats are the ultimate way to have a fun movie night out with your man. The food (as well as the service) is ten times better here than at the Island. The Chef is constantly making fresh pizzas from scratch, as well as great little appetizers that are perfect for movie watching! And, bonus!--all for less than the cost at the "other" theatre down the street! Thank you Port for opening and giving us a chance at movie watching that is cool, eclectic and non...
