Editorial Review for Byrd Theater – by Kristine Forrest

What to Expect
Historical movie houses are still making their mark on audiences, thanks to the Byrd Theatre in Carytown. Built in 1928, the theater still has its original red velvet drapes, 5,000-crystal chandelier and an organ that rises out of the stage. The only drawback is that the seats are small and don't offer much leg room--but this theater has enough personality to make it all worthwhile.

Types of Movies
The Byrd shows second-run films, so don't show up expecting to catch the latest release. The good news, however, is that fact that you'll only pay $1.99 for one of the best movie experiences in town.

Expand the Experience
Since this theater is the perfect date destination, there are plenty of places within walking distance to visit before or after a movie. Consider having dinner at Acacia, the Galaxy Diner or Nacho Mama's to complete an evening.

User Reviews for Byrd Theater

5 Star Rating: Highly Recommended

Step back into the 1920's when you go to this theater! The Byrd is a great place for a date. With the beautiful chandelier to the red carpet, you will feel like royalty walking in for a movie. The seats are a bit small but for a cheap movie ticket, you will get your money's worth. Great date night idea. Many great shops and eateries around so you can stop by those before hitting a movie. Do not expect new released movies to be at the byrd.

Pros: classy, ambience, service, friendly staff,

Cons: parking

When you step inside, it almost takes your breath away. The elegance of the theater is remarkable--is it possible something like this can still exist in the twenty-first century? It's like a time warp--and it will forever have class.

Pros: cheap, beautiful, historic, the organ

Cons: not enough leg room
