The Best Movie Theater Popcorn in Los Angeles | Eater LA
"Opened in 1923 and recently restored with a new 70mm projection setup after a 2023 reopening under new ownership, this single-auditorium neighborhood movie palace retains its original charm—cone-shaped glass chandeliers, statuesque heads, and an adjoining coffee shop called Pam’s Coffy—while enforcing a strict no-cell-phone policy. A single concessions stand just inside the front doors churns out small-batch popcorn tossed with real butter (even the largest size is under $10), alongside candy, hot dogs (including vegan), White Castle burgers, RC Cola and Mexican Coke, and beer and wine; the popcorn machine rumbles under warm yellow light and the butter coating delivers a creamy, well-salted, fully enveloping flavor." - Rebecca Roland
