A good place to see a movie or live act without any hassle. It's an older theater and doesn't have all the new fangled things that some do but it serves beer and you can always see the screen and stage without a problem.
Just like the Avon in Providence except cheaper and in a hipper location... Davis Square. Oh, and with current movies...
Where else can you have a beer while watching a movie? Comfortable, great atmosphere, good view of the screen from all seats, and good sound!
There's a lot of charm to this place. It's a little uncomfortable at times but its always fun to see a movie here. The beers are good, the price of a small soda at most places and the staff is generally cool.
I love going to see movies here because of the atmosphere. Never had a bad experience! I can't wait to come back :)
Wonderful theater that shows both new and almost new movies at discounted prices, plus they have live music. Serves beer, good popcorn and great ice cream. Don't miss the Bad Art museum downstairs.
The Davis Square Theater used to be just one theater space. It still has the main auditorium, but they've added movie theaters in the back and upstairs. The main theater is usually reserved for new releases and live concerts and shows. The acoustics are still great in there. They serve the standard fare of movie treats but also have the very special option of Richardson's homemade ice cream. There is parking on the street and in lots on nearby streets. It is right in the heart of Davis Square. There are lots of places to eat within a few steps of the theater for an easy dinner-and-a-movie night. The showing rooms, other than the main auditorium, are small, of course, and not the most modern or cleanest cinema room you'll ever visit, but they offer discount pricing, especially at certain times and on certain nights, and it's better than watching on DVD at home (for most of us). The sound quality is decent. They have big-name acts and special events in the main auditorium. Bono from U2 was there a few years ago and opened his world tour from there, I believe.
The Somerville Theater is a great place to catch a movie or live performance ("The Slutcracker" burlesque show in December is always a riot). The Museum of Bad Art in the basement is hilarious and excellent. The theater serves beer and ice cream, as well as the usual candy & popcorn concession fare. They don't give student discounts, but their movie ticket prices are cheaper than the big theaters and you're supporting a local, independent business.
This is one of the few independent (non-chain) theatres in the greater-Boston area. It is a stone's throw from the Red Line Davis Square subway. Seats are very comfortable and they serve wine, beer and ice cream at the concession stand in addition to the usual movie treats. Many movies are first run and cheaper than going to a chain cinema. While you're there check out Davis Square for a meal or drink. There are many choices. It's best to walk, bike or take public transit. There is very little parking for non-Somerville residents.
See something on the main screen which is a refurbished performance venue in the style of the days of old! Among many special events are screenings of silent movies with live music. Live performances also of music, plays, comedy. Located right at the Davis Sq. Red Line subway stop from / to Boston
