Love this place. Been here twice and will be returning many more times. Unique movie theater where you can enjoy old skool movies, VERY reasonable prices at the snack bar/ adult beverage bar. Over all....a great place and would recommend to all. In reality its a little bit of a hidden gem. Grab your popcorn and enjoy the flic

We had a friends movie premier here and I was pleasantly surprised. The atmosphere screams theater and the sitting was different and nice (as long as you get one of the comfy chairs). They serve wine and beer so obviously that was a HUGE plus.

Friendly. Great venue, various set-ups per event. Get to see niche movies. A place to find your tribe in fellow event attendees. Snack bar with drinks for all ages, even root beer or Vernors ice cream floats for old times sake. Hot/cold and bottled drinks. Some hot foods. Of course, pop corn! A pleasure to frequent this small business event venue and leave with a schedule of upcoming events in-hand. Handicap accessible. Covid compliant.

Great staff showing great older flicks in a super comfortable, and personal, viewing area. Couches with tables are also available, and of course you have movie theater foods and snacks, but also beer and wines for the adults. Try the Cafe Casablanca!

Social distancing is present throughout and the food and drink choices are amazing! Artisan mac and cheese, signature ice cream floats, and the movie theater regulars, too.

Great little homey theater where you can watch classic and cult movies. Also has trivia nights, poetry, and ability to be rented. Serves beer, wine and food. Not modern or updated but that is part of its charm. Caretakers are sweet and helpful. I love the Christmas movie line up and have been going to see its a wonderful life yearly there for last 3 years.

We carme here for a private party and it was the perfect place. We used the small projector for a slide show while we ate our dinner and then headed to the main screening room to watch the Big Chill. They have a small bar with beer, wine and soft drinks. Plenty of fresh popcorn. There is a big mix of seating to choose from. Not the comfiest seats but the mix works well here.

A Buffalo filmmaking icon. A unique place to enjoy a wide variety of unique film offerings. A great supporter of the local filmmaking community, Screening Room offers absolutely unique combination if art films, local films, classics, and recent films, as well as other events like comedy or poetry and fun film marathons. Theater rental is reasonable. Enjoy drinks, beer, snacks, desserts and of course popcorn! Family owned and operated. Staff friendly. Visit the Screening Room this week! Open 7 days.

An awesome little place for old/rare movie screenings and even local movie premieres. The snack bar is great, serving beer, wine, and even root beer floats! And the decor is fun too, showing old movie posters and other Hollywood memorabilia.

This was my first time checking this place out. I quite enjoyed both the atmosphere and the movie (Its A Wonderful Life). The Screening Room, gives you both the Movie Theater experience as well as just relaxing at home. The only downside was that one of the stalls in the ladies room was missing a lock, a rather easy fix. I definitely recommend

Took my granddaughter there for a shoolmates birthday party recently. The kids loved it and was very relaxing for the adults that stayed, we also watched the kids movie and had our own laughs which we all need. I found a wingback chair in the corner and happily sat there and relaxed with coffee and watched the movie also.

The Screening Room is one of my favorite places for entertainment. Quiet, clean, friendly staff and reasonable prices. I just wish they would have a better variety of movies instead of playing the same one for weeks.

Review №35

Amazing little spot for movies and local talent! It’s hidden in the corner between Macy’s and JC Penney’s, but it’s worth the trip. They show a variety of older & more recent fair that’s sometimes hard to find, plus have various tables and seating arrangements (small couches, bar stools, armchairs, regular theater seats, etc.) They also host improv and sketch groups and since they have their liquor license, you can finally enjoy a beer with your movie snacks!

Its like no other theatre in the area (even North Park). They serve beer and the seating has the feel of a true screening room. Most unique viewing experience in Buffalo, could not recommend it more.
