Lyceum Cinemas — Attraction in Town of Red Hook

This is my all time favorite movie theater. It has a small family friendly feel that includes being budget friendly. The viewing rooms are appropriately sized to have wide isles and ... Thank the good Lord....roomy enough for people to walk past you without a need to be body surfed to get out for a snack or bathroom break. The screen is large...adds are local with great HD quality and RELEVENT. This theater has real recliners...yes....REAL... Honest to God tilt back, feet up recliners, that sink down in a "V" to prevent obstructing the view of others and not to annoy the people behind you. For menopausal mommas or older folks who's back could ache if sitting a few hours...the chairs are HEAT OR COOLED!! Yup..temperature control devices for each seat. There are labeled WIDE armrests with built in cup holders so no arguing about who gets the arm rest. These seating options would coat thousands of dollars in a new car... But the theater upcharge is only $1.00. YUP A BUCK!! The savings doesn't stop there. You get a free DOLLAR OFF coupon for ANY snack item AND the popcorn AND drink can be refilled ( one time each)for free!!! The savings doesn't end there...a local pizza place will give you a free drink if you bring your movie ticket. (I did say the local adds were relevant). What's Not to LOVE. Weekend rates are $6.00. Tell them AMY VAN...

The movie was not projected onto the screen correctly, so the bottom foot of the movie was off the screen (room 3), which was exceptionally annoying bc it movie has subtitles and most of the subtitles were off the screen. When we came out of the movie the staff was no where to be seen. Also when the movie ended, even after the credits where over, no one turned the lights back on, so it was pitch black in the theater, had to use my phone Flashlight to get my stuff and leave bc I couldn't see anything. I love this movie theater and have been going here for years but the current staff sucks and honestly needs to be fired. Besides for this time, when I have gone there in the last few weeks, the staff has been rude to me, not at all friendly, and sometimes when I'm waiting next in line, they just ignore me and continue their conversation...

2022 Update: Still a bizarre way of doing business despite being a family-oriented place. Nope. Original: Atmosphere screams "squeeze you for every penny." As most theaters post, the Lyceum also has signage noting that no outside food or beverages are to be brought inside the theater, "including bottled water." I saw more "you can't do this!" signs than I saw movie posters. They're also really ridiculous about the 3D glasses, with notes on the theater doors explaining that if you take your 3D glasses, it is punishable as a crime by law. Seriously? This place is not family oriented, it's no different than any of the other big theaters trying to squeeze you for all you've got. This below par theater isn't anything to...
