Loved it before the rehab, and it's even better now! Still had the old charm, and now you can enjoy craft cocktails in your movie ❤️

Cheapest seats in town . They run family movies , but not for as long as adult films so don't procrastinate! They also have a family movie festival in the summer: $1 movies on weekday mornings!

Joey Hubbard

Tickets are always $6 before 6pm everyday. And since it's such a small theater, it's easy to take in a second movie .

Ryan Pagan

August: Osage county was a great movie I cried thru the whole movie the acting was amazing and the story was even better but I'll tell you this much if you just lost a parent don't go its hard to see.

It doesn't have the biggest selection of movies each week, but wonderful to have a neighborhood theater without all the craziness of a multiplex .

Andre Chan

I love the davis theater the staff are very wonderful and the sound system is incredible

Isaiah

Great little theatre with slightly discounted tickets. The building is old but the picture and sound is top notch.

Get your sugar fix without resorting to Skittles and Icees. It serves freshly-spun cotton candy ($3)--just like the carnival , but without the crowds, the sweat and the scam-artist games.

Ruben Whitaker

They have some really cool artwork here so check it out. Sometimes the floors are really sticky and the bathroom stinks so watch out for both things.

Lukas Suveg

Usually, it's advantageous to seat yourself in the middle. Some of these screens are actually oriented at an angle , so you may want to opt for the side seats.

Jeff Merchant

My new fav seat in BEHIND the Red Snuggle Chair on the left because it has been broken for over a year and no one can sit in front of me :-D

Maria Alberti

It's too creepy and dirty ! How come that in a nice area like this it has to be a theatre so bad?by the other hand the screen and the sound are very good and those are important things.

Bobby Kennedy

Assigned seating now so you can hang in the bar right up until showtime.

David Curiel

Sometimes you don't get the best views as the screens are on an angle but for a film you aren't certain about it will do

Kevin Newman

Cool little neighborhood theater . Great for a date.

Andy Swindler

Even more awesome after the remodel!

Andrew Scutt

Limited selections, but reasonably priced and typically not crowded in one of my favorite neighborhoods in the city .

David Koller

Great prices at a good second run theater.

Eddy Gonzalez

Super cozy spot to catch a discounted new release

Maita

Newly renovated but still has the classic feel of timeless theatre.

Marcella

Not bad for 5.75 b4 6:pm plus good walking score if your early for the show or after you can walk around. Nice area.

Todd Schorle

No hassle movie theater in the city w/Great prices. Always has 4 recent movies . Kind of old school but that gives it it's charm.

Chris Like

The Davis is a Paragon of the Matinee. 2 tickets: $11. Great a/c and lots of nice people. Worth bringing the whole family.

Joseph B.

Saw Star Wars here. Theater is small but mighty.

Melinda

Davis doesn't care about movie ratings; there are three kids under 5 in the 9:45pm Thursday showing of Cabin in the Woods

Andrew White

Reasonable ticket prices. Comfy

Mary Miller

Wow what a cool place too see a movie nice and quant

Brian MacQueen

Pay close attention to the slight angle in the movie screens, and then be sure to sit on the side of the theater where those screens point.

christian

Great prices. Small, but cozy and reminds me of going to the movies as a kid.

Brian Decker

This is an ok place for a cheaper movie alternative...but definitely shows its age

Leticia Rosales

Kids summer movies Tuesdays and Wednesdays for $1

Kate

Absolutely the cheapest place left to catch movies that have just been released

Matt Dicker

What was once a dumpy old theater without charm has become a jewel of the neighborhood . Beautiful Art Deco design and a great snack stand add to the overall effect.

Mazda

Reasonably priced tickets for a cozy and unpretentious place to watch a film .

Be early or face viewing the movie at a wacky angle . And buy some popcorn !
