The area
Address
Neighbourhood: Downtown
At the heart of Toronto, Downtown is the destination for cheap eats and fast fashion. Cut through by hip and trendy Yonge Street, the vibe here is young, with a strong student influence from the Ryerson University Campus. As a result, the Downtown area is always in flux: undergoing the construction of new facilities, with fresh retail spaces and pop-up cafes. Home to Toronto's largest indoor shopping mall, a number of vintage cinemas, and a healthy nightlife centered on the area's Distillery District bar and clubs near the East End, it's both an easygoing daytime spot and a popular party place after sunset. It also features some of Toronto's best outdoor landmarks, including Yonge-Dundas Square and the Nathan Phillips Square: perfect for a concert, a skate, or a relaxing sit-down.

We stopped by here on a rainy day while in Vancouver and looking for something to do and found that this was such a lovely little cinema. We watched the film in a small screen but every chair was a really comfy recliner. This gave the cinema a really old school classic feel to it so was like a full experience rather than some of the generic cinemas you get now. A nice change if you want to watch a movie in comfort with less people

We came downtown to this little cinema because the big Cineplex were all playing the same movies and none were playing the one we wanted to see The Shape of Water. This small cinema had no lineups, less expensive tickets, a human being selling the tickets, and a variety of matinees. How refreshing! A cinema showing films adults want to see and employing human beings instead of unfriendly ticket kiosks and selling tickets at a better price! Woo Hoo! We went on a Thurs after lunch and saw many mature movie goers. There is an elevator or long set of stairs down to the theatres, and accessible washrooms ont he theatre level. SOme lovely art work and photos of old cinemas in Toronto. It was a very nice experience.

It's like this cinema was made for me. 6 screens, vegan popcorn, no 3D!!!
I love that its in a basement, maybe bring a jacket because it gets chilly but you'll never roast in the Toronto heat.
The screens are small, its very old school. It's never too busy and you can see a movie for free on your birthday.
I'm never going to stop coming here!

2/3 of normal size screens. A discount theater at $10 a head. Cheaper food items than the big theatres but as I say it's an older theater with basic seats.

In the Market District, not far from the harbor. Short walk from several hotels. Shows first run movies. Tuesdays are half price. A good bargain.

I think what the management has done is disgusting, I refuse to go there anywhere, although before they started their "search and seizure" procedure I used to go there 2-3 times a month.
Their measures are not for security purposes, they are searching people's bags and taking food and water out of people's bags. Until they stop this unreasonable policy I will not be attending, I hope others will do the same. This is not how you treat loyal customers.
