    One of the few single screen theaters remaining in the world. It's a gorgeous interior, with some of the best, new independent movies (that can't been seen anywhere else). A top Tampa destination.

    You'll be awestruck standing in front of this piece of history. Beautiful, elegant, & a pure masterpiece. Take a tour during the day or catch a movie. You'll never seen another theater like it!

    "A Legacy of Smoke" Tampa & Ybor City's cultural cigar heritage. An atmospheric theatre style movie palace; gorgeous interior, pipe organ that comes up from the floor and plays before each show.

    One of the USA's great restored movie cinemas. Dated from 1926 it has it all, great time floors, plaster statues and the Wulitzer played pre-show. A must for film affectionatos.

    Well known for its elaborate sky-like ceiling, complete with twinkling stars, you can see both movies and live shows here. They have the best popcorn you'll ever have!

    The Wurlitzer concert before a movie is fantastic. This is a "must do" if you are visiting or if you live in the Tampa Bay area.

    This landmark movie house built in 1926 shows mostly independent films that can't get screen time at local first-run theaters. The Short List: one of our top 5 best local movie theatres. Read more

    Follow schedule for an occasional live music show. Check out The Hub next door for affordable drinks. Theatre doesn't police bringing them in if you're discreet.

    If you expect a large crowd then bring cash as it lets you bypass the main line to the cash only window.

    Overpriced. They tell you before each show it's "one of the ten most iconic theaters in the world" which is a joke because the interior walls look like a giant wad of watermelon bubbleyum

    Most unique and ornate theater in Florida (est 1926). Order a drink at the bar, come early (Wed-Sun) for the pre-film organist and if it's your first time, book a balcony-backstage tour.
