España SheriffMarch 25, 2012Arrive a bit early so you have time to take in the overwhelming size and beauty of the place (trust me) and check out the restrooms even if you don't have to go!
Brian StraussNovember 2, 2017The most elegant theater I’ve ever been to. It’s fully seated with no GA spaces. Lots of great bars and restaurants in the area to help you make a night of it.

Xande MacedoNovember 29, 2012Becoming a citizen today? Walk to Flora, sit at the bar, get a burger (sticking your American flag on it optional), a shot of Maker's Mark and a bottle of Liberty Ale. Welcome to America!
David SchwartzDecember 17, 2023Take the time to walk around the theater and explore the art deco. It’s the bomb.
- Kayvon TehranianOctober 27, 2013Art deco carried to its necessary extreme. Financed by Paramount Pictures, the Paramount Theatre was the largest West Coast movie palace at the time of its construction in 1931.
Noel Yuri-BermúdezJuly 27, 2018Beautiful theatre. The bar in the lobby isn't the only one in the theatre so save yourself some time in the line!
Tim HarrisonMarch 29, 2015A beautiful old theater. Be warned that movies generally start ~40 minutes late due to the spinner game they do before hand.
Allison CMarch 5, 2013The balcony ladies room is tiny. You will miss the second set of a show if you wait in what will be a monster line. Try another floor or book out early.- David SchwartzDecember 17, 2023Archie Bunker had a great quote for this event. I’ll have to find it and post it as a comment…
Craig VillamorOctober 27, 2017Beautifully restored, HUGE, drinks are a bargain relative to other venues.- Farshid KetabchiJune 20, 2012wonderful music concert venue with an old world charm. leonard cohen's concert in 2010 was awesome there.

Camille GApril 27, 2013the $5 movie classics are so fun! Wurlitzer, dec-o-win raffle & newsreel before the show
EJ RiceMay 16, 2011A vodka cran and a small bottle of water cost 19 bucks, but the theater is beautiful and the show I saw (Chelsea Handler) was hilarious!

Lauren BarrettApril 27, 2013Dont bring your own popcorn. Alll the candy and booze you can smuggle in but no popcorn
Sarita MorenoFebruary 12, 2011The only thing better than seeing a concert here (come back Jill Scott!) is movie night!B- Lisa BankstonMarch 17, 2010
If you haven't sat in the paramount theater you have missed the best of Oakland
ingrid lopezDecember 15, 2010Leonard Cohen: best concert of my life in this beautiful and legendary place.- OMG. Movies at the Paramount are the best. Even when they're bad, they're good.
