Crystal Theatre — Local services in Carbondale

Cute little one-screen theater in downtown Carbondale. We were from out of town and wanted to see a movie and happen to love old theaters, so this was a good fit. On a Tuesday night, the place was packed, seemingly with locals, which made the comedy even funnier from everyone laughing.

The cost is $8/person and they only take cash. There is an ATM across the street with a $3.50 fee, so you might want to be prepared with cash beforehand. The concessions are limited but not expensive. And the theater opens 15 minutes before the movie...people will be waiting outside the door before the owners open up.

The theater has comfy streets and a solid wood floor. Very nice inside and the sound and screen are of good quality. Definitely worth a stop if you're in the mood for a movie...

We LOVE our local theatre. If they're running something you've never heard of, don't worry…it'll undoubtedly be top notch. Very well informed owners make the right decisions. They keep one around for another week if people are enjoying it. Went last night and it was completely FULL. We all love...

You'll get a warm welcome, great popcorn - cheap! - comfy enough seats and highest quality films. Get there on time, cuz there are no trailers. Love. And know they only take cash. This place is a gem. I feel so fortunate to live four...
