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.

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.

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.

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

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

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

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

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

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

Price increased for the first time in 20 years from $2 to $4. Still the best movie value in RVA!
Rachel MercerJanuary 30, 2012
$2 and equally cheap concessions. A must-do for anyone in RVA (if only just once). Some great midnight features too!

This theatre is the definition of genuine and authentic.

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.
Steve HutchinsonNovember 16, 2009
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

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!

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

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.

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

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

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

Love this place, need to take my little one there to see it real soon!
CeeJay LouisMarch 30, 2012
Seats are falling apart and somewhat uncomfortable; watch out for loose springs, sticky spots on the floor and suspicious stains in the seat

Movies for $2 in an amazing old school theater!

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

Check your seat before you sit down. Ripped my jeans on a seat with a spring sticking out last Sunday at the VaIFF...

SSSSSICK. Someone needs parental guidance!

Don't bring your screaming babies to an adult movie. Get a babysitter- they should be in bed anyway.
George BerryMay 11, 2012
Bring a pillow to sit on.
