With all the movie theaters around with reclinable seats this one feels a little bit outdated and not so comfortable, but it's still a nice option Downtown Washington and more important: they screen some movies that you won't find anywhere else in town.
Perfect spot for an indpendent movie and craft beer.
Non-mainstream films. Popcorn with real butter. Mead and cocktails. Comfortable seating. Wish they had these cinemas in Europe.
This is a wonderful theatre. Comfortable seats and an amazing collection of snacks and libations - including a pretty-well-stocked bar. We attended the DC Shorts Film Festival here so spent 14 hours watching short films: point being that we got a pretty-good exposure - and really enjoyed it. Note that there is generally no phone reception while in the theatre area: it's downstairs and phone signals don't get thru, but you shouldn't be on your phone while you're watching movies anyway. :)
Great theater showing films you generally dont get elsewhere.
Awesome cinema that shows lesser-known movies. Went to see Your Name here when it was released in the US. They serve alcohol at a steep price, but hey, it is a movie theater. A nice getaway from the megaplex.
Love this theater. I also like the fact that once you enter downstairs you get no cell service -- hurrah for no annoying phone calls!
I saw Honey boy. It was very good. But why is landmark theatres more expensive than other theatres. I love indepent movies but its so freakin expensive.
Nicer seats than some theaters that run the indie films. Popcorn was good too.
The best movies, but please bring back the hummus and pita.
My favorite theater in D.C. It's just around the corner from Ford's Theatre. The seating is old-school, not the huge reclining chairs you see in the new mega theaters. What makes this place great is that the theaters are small and have a very intimate vibe. And they always have the most interesting, lesser publicized films. You can walk in as any time of day and pick something you've never heard of and chances are it will be fantastic. Friendly staff with concession stand that serves alcohol along with normal movie items. The only restroom is outside the lobby and it can be a long walk from your theater, so go before the show.
The best films! Nice cafe yo stop in after and discuss the art.
I love the unusual movies I see at the E Street Cinema. The building is well maintained and attractive. The staff is courteous and attentive.
Great place for independent films and host of lots of film festivals. Although kids are there it's not too often. It's definitely a theater more for adults. There's a nice bar with a variety of drinks and concessions has way more than your typical movie theater snacks.
My favorite place to watch a movie! E Street Cinema offers a diverse selection of films. The snack bar offers a great selection of wines, beers, and snacks. The staff is always helpful and friendly.
Second time here and I still like this theater. Will be back.
We seem to end up here most weekends. Favorite memory when my friend Claudia dressed up like Amy Winehouse for the opening show of Amy ! I also love that the audiences are usually very mature.
Amazing venue for more independent and limited release movies. Plus it has no cell phone reception and serves alcohol!
Going to this theater has been in my DC must do list for quite a while.....finally got to catch a fun movie with my kid... In a World.....theater did not disappoint....I am not a movie goer, instead enjoying being comfortable in my own home...but the great atmosphere, eclectic choice of good and wine will bring me back before long....it's not just going to a movie, it's an evening.
This is a very great theater that put on a lot of great special events.
Great theater, good food selection, upscale urban atmosphere.
Best theater in DC! Get there early for popular movies, as seats are first come first serve. Staff is always friendly, and they have great beers.
Went to a midnight showing of a cult classic. Great theatre
Best movie theater in DC! Love seeing documentaries, foreign films, and independent films here. Also often hosts great screenings for the DC community.
Very nice place with large amount of movies and very comfortable seats!
Easy to get to. Friendly service. Nothing unpleasant about my visit.
Fun movie theater vibes! They have a lot of great movies that play here and the location is fun! It can be tricky to find street parking though and the seats do not recline.
Great indie film theatre. Located mostly underground. Great concessions, cocktails and beer are available as well as movie theater staples. Theater was smaller and had great sound and crisp picture. Bathrooms were very clean.
I really enjoy the movie. Comfortable seating and some higher end snacks and beverages.
The Landmark Theater group gets most of my business! The E Street location is close to Metro Center stop and nearby shopping and restaurants. I suggest purchasing your tickets online prior because shows sell out and we have been disappointed - once! The concessions are really good and offer a good variety, including beer and wine. Comfy seats, too! Check out West End location for their Capital Classics.
Super independent films that aren't shown elsewhere in d.c.
The best movies you can't find in the suburban mega-movies. Just a couple blocks from the Metro Center station.
Great films, clean establishment, helpful staff. Midnight movies there are a blast!
Love this place! It s a go to for independent films and the food is delicious.
A great theater with some of the best popcorn in the city and a great selection of movies that you wont find anywhere else!
Great theater where one can watch movies not shown in any other theaters.
Nice, independent movie house. Great bar and food options, though the bar stands out more with Italian sodas, a fully stocked bar, and many regional wines. Bathrooms aren't that great, they always seem just a bit messy which is the status quo for movie theaters.
You can t get reception down there so no one is on their phones which is great. Also makes me think of Bruce Springsteen any time I go so bonus points for that.
One of the greatest independent theaters of our time. This place captures the novelty of cinemas of yore when going to the movies was a classy affair. After entering, you go down a flight of stairs to the theaters, but don t be so hasty to sit down that you pass up the concessions area. This place has a fantastic selection of treats and snacks, including many healthy options. I like their iced coffee which is very reasonably priced.
Great selection of movies, and the concession stand complete with quality wine and beer is second to none. Theaters are kept clean and staff is friendly.
I like this theater but I honestly don't remember why
Super convenient theater downtown DC, however the seats are older and screens/projection not updated to the new standard.
Surprisingly cheap drinks for a theater. Wish the seats were a little better tiered.
Beautiful theater. Large selection of refreshments.
If only mobile reception were better / WiFi available
It's a theater. Nothing fancy, but what you'd expect. Plus it has a liquor license.
Very cool cinema with enough upgrades to be comfortable
This theater has great sound and auditoriums that are on the small side but still adequate. I like the selection of movies as some of the other "art house" type movie theaters in the area seem to be pretty heavy on the big-budget mainstream movies. The E Street Cinema will play some of those movies as well, but it still manages to play quite a few of the smaller budget and independent films as well. This place serves alcohol as well as popcorn. The service, like the service in many other movie theaters, can be unbelievably slow. The staff here is very courteous and service-oriented. The theater is clean from the lobby to the seats in the auditoriums to the bathrooms.
The best thing about this theater is that they don't play video advertisements for the entire time leading up to the movie, like some other theater chains. You can actually have a conversation or a thought of your own.
Small theater, but cozy and well designed. They have a bar and serve Italian soda that adds a little flare. Over all a nice place to see a movie
Good combination of commercial and independent films.
This is my favorite theater. If it's indie or even just quirky, you can find it here.
Mostly thoughtfully selected films. Recently pushed up a bit with improved seating. Yay, as well as good drinks including beer and a unique effort to provide specialty foods (beyond the obvious) which brings them to five stars. A diverse and smart audience. Some nights at Landmark that are arguably artsy and a great refresh from Regal. Recommened.
Independent films in cosy theaters with nice wine selection
I enjoy going to this movie theater because I always get great customer service, food and movies.
Great movies, great popcorn, great drink selection. Seats could use a comfort upgrade
Old theater that has seen some refurbishment and looks all the better for it. Very clean with a very polite and professional staff. Although it's a casual place, they made me feel as though I was somewhere upscale. There is no stadium seating or reclining seats and no reserved seating either. For those of us who grew up without these amenities in movie theaters, you won't be put off by the lack of them here. This place just simply has too much charm and character. Great place to catch a movie alone or for date night.
Comfortable, serves beer and wine and even steamed soy beans :) gets very crowded quite quickly for new blockbusters, but is a great theatre of you plan ahead
Clean and serves alcohol if memory serves correctly!
Lovely upscale movie theatre that shows a curated selection of award winning and popular movies. Definitive date night location! Best part: cocktails and beers on tap that you can bring in with you.
The venue was lovely, big and spacious. There was only one other viewer in the theatre, in addition to me and my friend, so it made for a private-feeling experience. Location is accessible from the Gallery-place metro station, and signage makes it easily identifiable.
Four stars because my credit card didn't work at the entrance for the first three tries, and then didn't work at the concession either. I used the same card earlier that day and immediately after the theatre without a hitch, so it seemed to be a machine issue. The concession attendant was upset about trying the card a second time, although no other customers were in line.
Solid theater for Independent films and a host site for DC Environmental Film Fest
Great chill low key theater. Not fancy like an Alamo Drafthouse but not trying to be. Interesting menu, bottles of wine, sweet potato tots make this a special place.
Great little movie theater for independent and international films. Add 25-30 min to you timeframe if you plan on parking on the street
Love this place. So happy there is a theater in DC that shows non-blockbuster type movies
Everyone is always kind and the theaters are well kept. The concession prices aren't too bad, especially for DC.
Great service and cheerful attendants. My one complaint: no cell service. Would it be possible to work with Att, Verizon and TMobile for in-building microcells?
Some of the rooms are a tad to deep for my taste, but it is the best place to see independent films in the city.
Shows less mainstream movies in an older theatre setting. They have a good number of local and craft beers and wines at the concessions. It's a fun and relaxed place to see a good movie. As a note, the area with the theatres has no cell signal, so no interruptions but having someone come meet you can be tricky
No spoons provide luckily but my fellow movie patrons provide
Been going here for years. I love this theater as it shows more independent movies than big blockbusters. there's a bar available as well. Seats could use an upgrade, but I still love it.
Eclectic movies but fairly small screens. Wide variety at concession stand with coffee and alcohol.
