Nickelodeon Theater Reviews

Great find, very quaint, nice-friendly staff...nice to have a drink with the movie!

Unique movies, beer on tap, and delicious snacks! The people that work there are always friendly.

The film choices are the best in Columbia...unique, cutting edge, and diverse. Wine and beer available for enjoyment during the feature. I enjoy the introduction to the film by the knowledgeable Nick staff. All around- cool place!

This place shows smaller, indie and arthouse movies, and they also serve beer and wine! Cheaper than most big box movie theaters too.

Support this theater, go see a great film from another country, or a documentary that might shake your foundation. Also, ginger ale is sold there.

Great atmosphere. Comfortable seats. Always unique movies. Friendly staff. They also have classes and instruction on movie making. A truly great asset to Columbia!

Best place to see a movie! Killer audio system. Adult bevs at the snack bar!

Really cool little Theatre that I like to check what is showing every now and then. They often have unique and lesser know showings as well as smaller events at times. One of the best places to check if you are looking for weekends plans or just are around downtown Main Street with some time!

This private local theatre in the heart of downtown has its own charm. Small theatres with a flexibility of having a drink while watching a movie. And those special screenings of documentaries, short films and of course regular ones too.

Popcorn flavors are amazing. Friendly and courteous staff

Great atmosphere and staff with a wonderful, comfortable new location. Quality choice of independent or limited release films with a mix of foreign films. Their special screenings of classic films always sell out, so buy your ticket fast!

Every time I come to the Nick, I have a totally positive experience. There is never a wait at the box office or concessions. Tickets are reasonably priced. The memberships are a great way to support the theater at whatever level you are able, and you save at the box office and receive other small perks with your membership. The theaters are never crowded, and the overall experience provided by the staff is friendly and welcoming. Though they only have two screens, they cycle quickly through various films which always keeps open my options to view something new or old that I have not seen yet. Beer and wine along with popcorn and candy served at the concession is all reasonably priced in stark comparison to big chain theaters. I love the Nick!

Best Theater in Columbia SC. See what you won t at large theaters. Perfect spot for movie and drinks.

Best theater in Columbia. The popcorn is better and great selection of beer and.wine

Lovely theater. Staff are pleasant and professional. The entire place is immaculate.

Great experience! First time going and they have a clean facility and comfortable seats. Best part, you can drink beer while watching the movie!

I love the films, staff and reasonably priced snacks. I go probably once a month and have rarely been disappointed.

Great selection of films that aren't playing at the bigger theaters.

I love our local theater! The Nick is not profit and they are always working with the community to host workshops and summer camps. Not to mention they serve beer and wine for you to enjoy during the film.

One of my all time favorite theaters!!!! Feel like I'm going back in time whenever we go there. Great movies, service and quality!

This theatre was recently redone and I was pleasantly surprised with how nicely it was decorated. The seats are very comfortable and I like that it is a small theatre- just 2 screens. The cost of the ticket is slightly above average price from other theatres but the concessions are much more affordable so it evens out. The staff were very pleasant and professional and the theatre was clean.

Love this theater. Just like being a kid again. They show movies that the big box theaters do not. It is friendly movie to go to.

I'm gonna be 100% honest here, this was my first time watching a film at the Nickelodeon. I've casually stopped by and peeked in while strolling Main Street. Here's the thing, I frequently hit Main Street and wander up/down the street and hit the shops/restaurants/museum/Tapp's but never slowed down to catch a film until yesterday. Instantly, I fell in love with warm, quaint, and welcoming atmosphere of the Nickelodeon. I didn't feel the haste or corporate overhangings of a traditional commercial theater and it felt pretty darn good. The lobby was creatively decorated, staff was beyond personable, and facilities were clean and comfortable. I've kinda gotten used to reclining/heated/cooled seats at the commercial theater but the seating here was quite comfortable without all the fuss. Screen quality and audio were great and I had the most wonderful afternoon spent with a dear friend at the Nickelodeon. I'm finding more and more amazing places in Columbia, some old and some new but all deserve our support!

Love this local theater. Be sure to arrive early as the theater always fills up fast. You don't want to be that person trying to find a seat while the lights are out! Their popcorn is a must!

Great theatre, excellent staff. See movies that are must see but sometimes rare to find in Columbia.

There's a special charm to this place. Many of the folks who work there are volunteers, there for love of it, rather than money. I think that shines through.

It is the only theater in town him I'm aware of where I can get a cup of hot tea, to sip during the movie. Not a perk for everyone but, I sure enjoy it!

I've been going to Nickelodeon since it was at its old location. It's a great theatre, they have a great staff, and, most importantly, they are the one place in Columbia where you can see recent films that aren't the Avengers and classics. The new digs are just dandy. They also sell snacks and booze if that's what you like when you go to watch a movie.

Nice Theatre...... clean throughout and friendly staff.

This theater is definitely a classic! I love the authenticity of an older movie theater! Excellent service and a great experience!

Wonderful selections of films. Always enjoy going here!

Great programming. You get the opportunity to see things here that you can't see anywhere else. I love it every time I go.

One of my favorite theaters. Everyone always polite and helpful

Such an amazing place and experience. The mission of this theatre to give back and get kids interested in performing arts is fantastic. Must go!

Never have been disappointed with a show here. Always leaves me thinking. Charming and lovely staff. A true gem on Main.

The popcorn was tasty. Loved how the theater was small, it gave me the feel of only a select few can watch a movie at a time. Staff was very nice and curtious. Would love to catch a foreign film there one day.

Best theatre in town! Exciting programs. Independent and foreign films.

What a lovely venue and wonderful entertainment options

This is the probably the first movie theater from 1905!

best cinema in town plus you can drink wine and craft beer like a civilized person whilst watching foreign and independent films

Awesome arthouse theater in downtown Columbia. I wish they did get more mainstream arthouse films, but it's the only place in town to see smaller release films. Their concessions are delicious and reasonably priced.

I love this place. It is one of the most effective places that pulls creative people who appreciate art and film together. The inside is very clean and comfortable. I attended during the Indie Grits Festival and now I want to return to see more movies. The theatres are smaller than normal ones, but they are nice in the intimate feeling.

Great atmosphere! Friendly staff and comfortable seating.

We love the Nickelodeon. Movies that you can't see in regular theaters. Small, quaint theaters.

Outstanding. The only place to see the movies if you don't want to hear chatter.

It's a small theater, but that's what you'd expect from an independent theater! I love their film offerings, it's so nice to have a place to see special showings and indie films. The location is perfect and the price is too--$9 for a movie!! I want to go every week.

Love this quaint little theater, great selection of beer and wine to enjoy while you take in a movie.

Nice atmosphere, comfortable, polite audience, good movie experience. Beer, wine, Sodas, popcorn and candy!

Incredible theatre that gives arthouse films their chance to be seen.

I came here for the "Indiegrits" Indie film/art festival, and it's everything youd want in a theater. There were plenty of spice options to shake on my delicious popcorn. And, while I ate that popcorn, I watched films gleefully and sipped on beer. That was a wonderful April afternoon, and I'd recommend this, my new 2nd favorite theater, to you.

Nickelodeon is the best movie experience ever. It is a a non-profit organization with much of the staff made up of volunteers who are always there to help. Even the audience seems always to be a well behaved higher class, with minimal talking or outburst during the show. International, socially conscious, new releases, and classic movies are shown, sometimes with informative discussions afterward. I've been a member of Nickelodean for 4 years and the friendliness of the staff and other members there make me feel like family.

Everyone is very polite, with great popcorn, better drinks, and the best films. Excellent alternative to the gross, crowded, and over priced mainstream theaters. A must go for movie lovers. Wonderful experience.

The Nick always has great films and an amazing space

The Nickelodeon is Columbia's Art House Theatre. Always a great line-up and the best popcorn. Bar none!!

I love the Nick, my favorite theatre. Staff is great.

The only theater I visit anymore. Clean, friendly and unique. Membership recommended!

Columbia's choice for cutting edge movies. You'll find shows that last only a few days and are out of the mainstream but are artful, thoughtful, and in a great veiwing venue. Excellent popcorn, wine, and treats. Professional staff and live introductions to each show.

This venue is SC's only independent movie theatre and has a convenient downtown Columbia, SC location with restaurants as neighbors. Offers eclectic array of independent and foreign language films with many featured during the film's opening weekend. Best prices in town for concessions. Many patrons enjoy sipping a cold beer while viewing the movie.

Fantastic theater right in the middle of Main Street!

If you like independent or foreign films you'll probably like it. Downtown Columbia is not my favorite place to be.

My wife and I always enjoy the atmosphere and especially the staff. Looking forward to becoming a member.

Comfy seats, small crowds, craft beer. Enough said.

Had an amazing time last night with friends at Columbia's very own Nickelodeon theatre! It is an absolute gem. The staff is great, the atmosphere is both parts modern and nostalgic. We saw Downton Abbey and it was probably one of the best movie experiences I have had in quite some time. I can't wait to go back again.

Awesome and unique viewing experience. Loved the staff. See your films here if you can!

Need to change name...i seen name and thought was place for kids...wasted my time even calling

Friendly place with a hometown theater feel... Only place to see many of the more thoughtful films

Great as long as a drunk chick behind you doesn't quote the whole fit element. You can't sing so no opera. Your delivery is bad so no tucker quotes

I love the Nick. The staff is always so friendly and the movie experience is top notch.

You can't visit Columbia without seeing a movie at The Nick.
