Brian Bassett

The seats leave a little to be desired, but for $1.99 (there's a cup of pennies at the box office ) it's a steal for second-run films . Enjoy the pre-movie Wurlitzer organ on Friday & Saturday nights .

Andrea Menzies

The organ and the harp play a show on Saturday. Movies are cheap here! Also next to an ice cream place for the kids. Has free public parking place in the back.

Lynn Abraham

Fun Sat sing-along w/Christmas music .Too bad people around us & staff in the lobby continued to talk during the movie . If you need to check your phone, at least have the courtesy to step outside.

Rob

Oldtime classic movie theatre with second runs, pls classics, etc. Super affordable and family friendly .

David Burgess

It's a blast from the past. Enjoyed it very much. Will be back for sure. Saw the Incredible Mr. Limped, with Don Knots

The Flats at West Broad Village

We love the historical atmosphere and one-of-a-kind personality that The Byrd offers - It takes us back to simpler times! Big fans!

Lauren Bacon

Best $2 spent at local spot for a great movie . Family friendly . Feedthebyrd.org

Bryan Mortensen

A must stop for anyone who'd like to see a movie in a early 1900's style theater.

Phillip Vaughan

Price increased for the first time in 20 years from $2 to $4. Still the best movie value in RVA!

Josey Montana McCoy

The Byrd is a beautiful and amazing establishment. Keep fighting the good fight against the megaplexes! Thank you!

CeeJay Louis

Bring cash, its all they accept. Movies are super cheap and fairly recent. Snacks & beverages are expensive , as always at any cinema .

Alex Rice

This theatre is the definition of genuine and authentic .

Sandy Whittington

A must-visit spot, especially when friends and family are visiting from out of town :)

Rachel Mercer

$2 and equally cheap concessions. A must-do for anyone in RVA (if only just once). Some great midnight features too!

Elias Savada

The seats are dreadful and if you stand too long in the aisle your shoes may permanently stick to the floor. The rest of the place is awesome.

Liam F

Love the old time feel of the place and their emphasis on community events

Josie A

This theatre is BEAUTIFUL! But as we left the manager yelled obscenities at my boyfriend who tried to take a picture of the beautiful space. Not a good experience!

Tara Hawks

If you have a living social deal, you must stand in two lines . One line to redeem deal and another line to enter theater. Pack your patience & expect to wait awhile.

Steve Hutchinson

Sweet talk the staff into letting you go up to the balcony where the seats are much more comfortable . Go on Saturday to see Bob Gulledge playing the Mighty Wurlitzer which is worth the $1.99 by itself Read more

Rumor has it there's a ghost that haunts the women's bathroom ...

Teresa Sharpe

A really beautiful theater that is extremely affordable !

Megan

Great place to see Oscar worthy movies for only $2. However, I gotta warn you that the seats may be uncomfortable.

Wm Behrendt

Can't best a $2 movie and a live organ player instead of previews

Laura Horsley

Saturday nights here are the best! Can't beat the price...and the charm! :)

H Quintana

Love this place, need to take my little one there to see it real soon!

Vance Philips

Be sure to come early! The good seats go fast. Also the best time to come is Saturday nights . You'll see why!

kristindownie

$1.99 movies in a vintage theatre, saturday nights has the amazing wurlitzer.

CITY GRIT

Movies for $2 in an amazing old school theater!

Adam Socki

This is the most beautiful movie venue I've ever been to.

Robin Childrey

Gotta love a $2.00 movie !

Grant Mizell

Visit the haunted balcony , if you're luck enough to end up here a night it's open!

Kurt Thoele

For the price, the place is great.

CeeJay Louis

Seats are falling apart and somewhat uncomfortable; watch out for loose springs, sticky spots on the floor and suspicious stains in the seat

Brandon Laroussini

Get there on a weekend night and donate to the foundation (select popular movies only) to get to sit in the balcony !

Grant Mizell

Very unique Turkish marble lines the walls!

Rae Kelly

During the holidays the Mighty Wurlitzer plays Christmas Carols

Leigh Bolick

If you need to use the bathroom bring a flash light.

Stacey Cook

love the old fashion feel of this place

Rob Ruffin

The best place to come see movies in RVA!

Don't bring your screaming babies to an adult movie . Get a babysitter- they should be in bed anyway.
