Alpine Cinema

Alpine isn’t as nice as those big branded movie theaters like amc or regal, but it’s more than sufficient. Sit towards the back of the theater for the best view of the movie screen. Chairs are a bit annoying as you have to constantly lean back to keep it reclined. Sound quality is nice and the rooms are very dark. Movie starts on time, so don’t be late. P.S. If you go on Wednesdays, you can get tickets at the theater for $6.

Charming & old fashioned cinema ✨ It’s definitely an experience to try out this place. Price of the movie tickets and popcorn are hard to beat! The place does require some cleaning and making sure the door is shut when the movie starts 🙏🏼 If you’re looking for a budget movie theater, this is the place to go

Old theater. Needs to be updated. The seats are ok. They didn’t play the beginning of the commercials. The bathrooms are old and dirty. The seats look like they are cushioned and falling, but they recline and hurt your back. The food is regular. Nothing to rave about they have a small party section for little kids. The ceiling is cool.

Came this weekend to this movie theater and just as I sat down to start eating my nachos the smell of piss was overwhelming, I could not eat or drink had to keep my jacket over my nostrils. Very, very bad. Also, why buy your ticket on line and still have to wait in line outside at the cashier as if you’re purchasing a ticket. First time and will not go back again. Or recommend.

This theater has come a long way. Seats were comfortable, and the theater is clean. The one thing I will say is this isn't a theater I would pick to see a musical. The sound system is perfectly fine, but while I was watching "Wicked For Good" the musical numbers weren't as clear and crisp as they were when I saw it at another theater. Not that this is an issue with the theater, and was only evident when there were songs.

First time coming to this theatre and honestly never even realized there was one in this area. It's definitely not like the big theatres but gets the job done. Facilities were a bit older but relatively clean. Seats were a bit old and not cushiony but I did like that they weren't the fabric kind. I bought tickets online and didn't realize I had to scan my code at the door and then retrieve paper ones for the ticket agent. I ended up getting popcorn here and while it was only $5 for a big bag, I would not get it again. It was cold and had a big stomachache after eating it. Overall, ok theatre and would come back again if the movie I want to watch is only playing here.

I usually only go to this movie theater if the film I want to see isn't playing closer to where I live. I used to come here many moons ago when my mother or father took me here. So, this place has been in business for a very long time. The prices here are cheaper than the average chain movie theater, and the matinee is only $8. The theater is kept clean, with the exception of the occasional popcorn that is thrown around by messy customers, and the bathrooms are either hit or miss if you know what I mean in regards to cleanliness. The seats can be a bit too comfortable as they recline a little too far back. The food and drink prices are what you can expect from any movie theater. Overall, it is a decent neighborhood theater that I would visit again in the future.

It's been years since I visited this theater. This is the closest theater to me and I would watch movies here out of convenience only. Cleanliness and lack of staff were my major issues. With that said still glad this theater is operating and is still an option in the neighborhood.

Everything about the theater is great !! Family , nice staff , reasonable prices !!! Good for birthday party too

The prices here are too reasonable to have any complaints. Ordered my tickets online, so that made it easy. Lucky thing, it was for Minecraft and it was sold out by the time we arrived. Concession moved quick, had some popcorn slushies and tried their empanadas (a pizza and a beef) pizza no good, beef decent. Staff was pleasant. One thing I can say, very messy, Popcorn everywhere. Again, I'm ok because price is right, theater and seats are spacious enough.

Still good , this theater has been around for a long time and they are hanging in there in Bay Ridge. This is the only movie theater in the area. They probably in need of improvements but they are pretty decent. They add 2 or 3 movies every week and prices are cheaper than elsewhere. Good customer service and very good prices.

Old school multiplex. Cheap matinee prices. Affordable concession stand. Was in theater 3 for a matinee of MaXXXine. Which was probably reminiscent of these type of theaters. Place seemed clean. Sound was good. AC worked good. Seats were comfy updated (rocking) style. Maybe 4 people total in the matinee. Didn't care for the neighborhood aspect around it and don't see myself going back.

a classic bay ridge staple - have been coming here since a child great prices - hard to find parking tho!

Nice community theatre. Food and beverage was mediocre and overpriced.Wouldnt recommend the popcorn the self service condiments were not necessarily sanitary. Staff was friendly .

As a kid I did not enjoy this place enough! Now as an adult whenever I find a film I'm dying to see me and my bff make time to have a movie date here on wednesday. $6 Wednesday special is just too good to pass up on! The concessions are very reasonably priced and the ambience of the place is very nolastagic to my earlier days there. It is nothing fancy but is surely a class movie theater! Also the trip is very convenient as the theater is near the R, b63, or b64. There is a wide range of storefronts near the movie theater so you can definitely plan a nice date there.

I like Alpine Cinema. It's a standard theater made accessible to a local neighborhood. It's not flashy or fancy, but there's plenty of leg room between the seats. The prices are very reasonable considering today's current rates nearing $20 for tickets. Alpine ticket prices are $11 for adults and they offer $8 matinee showings. The popcorn is $5 for a small and $8 for a large so you won't be breaking the bank by having a little snack from concessions. You'll have to check their website for movie showings as they usually have blockbusters up, but there may be an occasional indie film here and there for a week or day only. The lobby is pretty spacious and there is a semi-private section off to the side for events. There is usually a birthday party every weekend.

My childhood movie theater. It is close to home in walking distance. The movies are the newest movies out with many showings. The theater has cleaned up alot and staff is there in between movies to make sure they keep it clean. My go to theater.

Nice theater. The interior design has changed a lot since the last time I was here. Still the same old Alpine the moment you walk down to the theater rooms. Classic.

This good and bad things about this place are how dirty the floor looks and the service is not great it's slow but not that slow. The good things about this place is the food and the movie theater also there couple fun things you can do. This place is a maybe it's not bad.

This theater opened up in 1921 and they keep it beautiful. They redid all the seats so they are angled now and comfortable leather and the matinee is only $7 pp. Love it!!!

Alpine was my preferred theater growing up because it's a classic gem that felt like home whenever I would come to check out the latest movies. Then I got older and was seduced by dine-in and 4dx movie theaters so I eventually stopped going. Then I became a mom and my daughter got invited to her classmate's birthday party at Alpine theater. I got so nostalgic when we there and remembered why I used to love going there so much. Alpine is more than just a theater...it's about the full human connection you experience when you take a break from life and come to choose your adventure for the day depending on what they're showing that day. You have youngsters (I'm old) at the ticket booth and food stands serving you the old fashioned way like they do in the movies we grew up watching and offer just the classics in their menu. They also have these awesome plastic large popcorn buckets with the movie theme of the week. It comes along with a matching cup for just $15. And movie tickets continue being inexpensive...just $11 for adults. Alpine is prettier now because she recently got a makeover. The only complaint that I have is that for the last two times that I've gone, the lights have been turned on a few minutes before the movie has even ended, which kind of kills the vibe. I've come to the conclusion that it's because these movies were during the last showings and the staff just wants to go home.

This movie theater is getting worse and and worse . They raised the prices. They had a line wrapped around the corner in the cold weather..

The theater is old. Wednesday admission is $6 all day. Not the cleanest floors but the seats were comfy. Popcorn is good. Hot dogs are good. Local to Bay Ridge so it's very convenient.

A solid movie theater with the cheapest ticket prices for that area ($12/person) for a 4:30 showing. The theaters are all lined up down an aisle and they have your standard popcorn. The bathrooms were not well kept. The floors were wet and there was toilet paper everywhere, despite there being an attendant there at the time I went. I would go to another movie but will avoid using the restrooms in the future.

I have been coming to the Alpine since I was a young girl. The improvements they have made have been amazing and although I miss the old cozy features of what made Alpine... well, Alpine- I do however, appreciate the fact that the ticket is only $11.00 and the staff go above and beyond for their guest. From scanning your online confirmation barcode (to receive your paper ticket), concessions and ticket check you are treated with care and tremendous hospitality. Theaters are clean and seats are comfy! Tried to take photos, but my hands were full of snacks. What makes me happier is that the staff is made up of young adults from the local neighborhoods nearby. This means a lot to me as someone born and still located in the area.

I haven't been to this theatre in few years for reasons below...... I decided take my son today see 5 pm show thinking hoping maybe new management or cleaned up ....the theatre #8 was filthy the hallway filthy bathroom always filthy nothing has changed at all ya Neva again

They just redid a lot of the theater it looks so nice and going to look much better once complete they really cleaned it up. I just went yesterday, 10 bucks still, cheaper during the day, really enjoyed my time. The popcorn and soda was good. Very happy. It's so amazing to have a movie theater in walking distance. Id like to personally thank mr. Nicolau for saving the alpine, and the community, please continue to patronize and support the theater to make it better. I'd Also like to thank him for renovating it despite NYC trying to hit him with 330k of back taxes during covid, yep the city did that. Amazing place to bring kids

This is my favorite place to go and the best cinema also has the best of all of the food like the nachos and cheese caramel pop-corn

It has definitely improved over the years and hopefully it keeps going up. Best prices and it makes it a good place to come watch something or watch a matinee. Wish it had more food options

I love to support local businesses and am happy to see that this theater has made it for over 100 YEARS !!! Newly renovated the alpine is a great theater to catch a movie for one of the most affordable prices I've seen in all of nyc. A place where you can still enjoy an affordable night out. The theaters are clean and have seats are very comfortable.

This is a nice local theater with cheap ticket prices- HOWEVER they REFUSE to open the theater until 15 minutes before the first show. This creates a needless bottleneck and gigantic crowd trying to buy tickets or use the ONE kiosk to redeem online ticket purchases. They send you a QR code but the ONE ticket checker doesn't have a QR code reader! Overall it's not managed well and they need to have better customer service.

Alpine is my local theatre. As I'm from Sunset Park (way before it became the "trendy" place to live), this was one of our only two choices we had growing up. (Fortway was our other choice, it's now a Chinese Market) this was second choice even back then because Fortway usually had the better movie options. Anyhow, I do not come here at all as an adult, but do manage to take my daughter here. The theatre has improved tremendously since I was a teenager. I came here, most recently to see, A Wrinkle In Time 3D. The prices are fair, the seats are now more comfortable, the floor isn't sticky, but this still will remain my theatre of choice only when going to watch children's movies. In these times you really can't beat paying $9.00 for a film, it's basically unheard of. So, if you have children, are a local, or just looking to see a movie and not spend $100, make the Alpine Theatre, your choice.

Seen a movie yesterday in theater 6 and left with 3 bites on my leg. The theater has bed bugs. Horrible experience

It should have been opened on time we have been outside waiting for some minutes but longer, our service should've been better

Wonderful landmark theatre with great seats and sound. The snacks are reasonably priced too. My wallet dropped our of my pocket and i didn't realize until an hour after the show ended. Needless to say manager Mike and his team did a wonderful job securing my wallet which had cash and cards until I could retrieve it. Looking forward to More movie nights at the Alpine!

On one hand, The Alpine Theatre certainly leaves to be desired in many senses. The place is sorta unchanged since the 1990s, the projectors aren't great and their theaters are kinda broke-ass. BUT that is also exactly why I enjoy coming here. It's an independent Brooklyn original (originally built 1921!), tickets are UNDER $10 for new release films, popcorn is $5 for a small, and it's easily accessible by R train. Sure, you gotta dodge some teenagers and stale popcorn underfoot, but quite frankly I've had better theater experiences here than at places like Alamo with its drunk patrons who laugh at EVERYTHING on screen. So while I will admit this theater is rarely my go-to, the joke's on me for paying $12 - $16 to see the same film somewhere further away. Support your local theaters, they're a great bargain and a true Brooklyn time travel experience.

I would have given them 0 stars. It is a very old theater! The floors are dirty. The theater's seats are broken and not comfy. The screens are as big as my living room's TV. They kept the doors open, and there was a lot of noise from outside and next-door theaters. I won't come back again.

Alpine is an old neighborhood theater. It's cheaper than going to one of the big boys (AMC or Regal) in Manhattan. Also, they have $7 movies on Wednesdays (I think, might be Tuesdays)! There's nothing else special about it, except that they sell cotton candy. They have a small area on the side that is used for birthday parties. The bathrooms need an upgrade. It's a good, cheap place to catch a movie.

First time in the alpine in over 8 years and it still a great place to go see movies that are current and inexpensive plus the staff is amazing and awesome very friendly staff definitely will keep going there til the end of time

Saw a movie at Alpine Theatre on Friday night. It brought back memories of visiting the worst and cheapest theater in town as a child, but mostly in a bad way. Quality: One of the cheapest tickets in town for a movie, and you get what you pay for. This is a spot to visit only if you can't get the date or time for the film anywhere else. They do have an odd-ball movie pop up once in a while, and that makes a visit appropriate. Quantity: A smaller theater, which will pack popular showings. Value: $10 for an Adult Ticket. Ambiance: Alpine Theatre is a worn down movie theater in Bay Ridge. The lobby is actually very beautiful, and clearly renovated recently. However, as soon as you sit on the rocky seats and feel the stick of the floor you are reverted back. They have eight screens, and not enough staff to be working them. Don't be surprised to find the door open for a portion of the movie letting in light, and issues with picture and sound quality. Crowd: Typical for the cheaper neighborhood movie theater. Lots of high school kids and large families. Expect talking and crying for any movie you see. Service: Somewhere between poor and bad. Barely anyone working and it took about half an hour for them to fix the street properly for our film. Parking: Parking along the nearby blocks.

Took 2 hours to get our popcorn. They kept prioritizing other customer and we finally got our popcorn. We missed our movie so we had to move it to the next one. would not recommend coming here. 1 star!

Let's face it. There arnt many movie theaters around any more. This theater is air conditioned. The seats are comfortable. I really didnt like how there was a smudge on the screen. Not a small one, a big patch of black scrapes from who knows what. The food is overpriced but locally there are other places to go. I just saw a kind of sad movie there so I'm not so thrilled by it.

The theatre itself was pretty good. Good seating but the audio could've been better. Everything was decently priced. The bad part was the women's bathroom. They weren't good at all. One stall had a whole paper toilet roll shoved into the toilet, another had... an explosion in it and one stall was locked. The bathroom really brought the rating down.

I have been here at Alpine Theater for many years and seen many movies here. Most recently saw Shang Chi here for $7. I definitely like the new renovation of the lobby and the theater. However, I am concerned about the workers here did not check for vaccination cards. I asked the ticket booth guy if they check for it and he points to the guy who rip tickets will check but even that guy didn't. I really want to give this 5/5 rating but not checking for proof of vaccination it's a for me.

Have been twice in the last month and wow, what an improvement! Only con being the bathrooms are not the cleanest... however, for the price - can't be beat! So happy to live nearby this gem of a theater.

Whoa what happened here?! I checked the showtimes on their website to come here to watch "Penguins of Madagascar", me and the kids are actually sitting right here in our seats waiting, showtimes says first movie time starts at 9:55am. It is now 10:18, the screen isn't even on yet, and on top of that, people are cleaning the place right now? Wasn't it suppose to be cleaned up last night before closing up? I'm in the last theatre, #8, the only room that has elevated seats. Some of the seats smells, theres garbage all over the place, even beer bottles! We had to move a couple of times to get away from the mess. Seems like there was a huge party in here last night. To make the review short, and hoping the show will start soon, I'm only sparing 1 star this time only for the cheap prices.....should I even be complaining? You get what you pay, but still, this isn't how you manage a business!

I hate leaving negative reviews!! This was my first & last time at this Movie Theater. You can tell right off the bat its one of those theaters that are neglected & not well kept. Tickets prices $ 7.Staff was friendly enough, Popcorn was mediocre. Seats where not comfortable even though they reclined, they were filthy and ripped up, doesn't look like the seats or entire theater have been cleaned in years. Theater needs a serious renovation. The only redeeming factor, was the movie.

I am disappointed. As a theatre that clearly has been a staple in the neighborhood, it is very subpar. I do appreciate the fact that they are still here, and their prices are amazing considering prices elsewhere. What I do not understand: Why are there teens seemingly running everything? They ALL had very bad attitudes, and the ones not behind the concession stand were standing and sitting around doing nothing. My popcorn was COLD. They kept showing the same commercial (M&M). I don't see myself coming back to this one, unfortunately. Especially since it is such a staple (I have a fondness for older theaters, especially with the ticket booth and marquees).

Great value spot in the neighborhood. Prices are low! Good concessions. Not a fancy theater but it does a great job.

WORST MOVIE GOING EXPERIENCE EVER!! Anyone over the age of 20 should not come unless you want to experience high schoolers talking loudly, sneaking into other movies, taking pictures and screaming loudly at the smallest thing. The worst was them throwing BUCKETS of popcorn across the theater. It was incredible to see the staff do NOTHING to control the teens. And let's not even talk about the trash EVERYWHERE! NEVER GO HERE!! Truly just go to a AMC.

Where else can you come and get a movie ticket for $10? Come on! Yes, the place is a tad outdated but it gives you that old school movie theatre feels. I've been here a handful of times since the 90's and they've made small changes like pleather seating which gives you so much leg room! Can't forget how far the chairs recline. You could fall asleep! The movie tickets and the food are still 90's prices which is affordable if you're coming with a group or don't feel like spending $20 bucks on a popcorn and small soda. I wish the bathrooms were cleaner and in better condition. Some doors don't lock right and there's tiles about to come down. They do have a fabulous mirror in there for those girls that like to take selfies or belfies. Ha Ha! They have street parking which could be a horror film on its own, but I found one after going around the block twice.

So I admit that I feel I am being generous with the three stars as an A-OK rating because there are times when The Alpine really lets me down. This is the only movie theater in Bay Ridge Brooklyn so I am holding it to some higher standards. Let's go over some positives first. 1. Good matinee price for sure. I've seen films for about $7 and even cheaper if the film was running a little longer. That is great for those bringing along the kiddies and wanting a part of their wallet back. 2. Also reasonable concession prices. Maybe not good if you are worried about your waistline. 3. Nice amount of theaters for numerous films and each seems to be the same size with the exception of the larger stadium one that was the newest addition and is located way in the rear of the building in case you initially have trouble finding it (I did when I was looking for Godzilla). Now some off points. 1. The first is the worst for me as I have sat in the theater and no sound was coming out during the attractions and even a few times during a few features but worst yet was the few times that the film would stop entirely and then pick up many minutes ahead in the storyline. When this happened during "Guardians Of The Galaxy" it ruined key plot points for the audience. Since its happened during more than one film I am citing this as the most grievous. Pay attention people, this is your main job, playing the film without incident. 2. Very grimy sometimes. Refuse from past films remains far too often for my liking. 3. Facilities need to always be working. Too often have I gone into their facilities to find one or two out of service. This needs to be addressed and functional especially when a major feature is premiering as the line gets very disorganized. So as you can see there is some good and some not too much but I do enjoy having this theater here and I want it to live up to its surrounding neighborhood. We need this place so it should be maintained and kept up to the best that is possible.

Alpine has a special place in my dead, dead heart. I grew up in the area, so I've snuck into many a rated R movie here in my youth. And was a teenager doing teenager things. It was never that great of a theater. I preferred the Fortway, but that became a Chinese supermarket, so Alpine ended up being the only game in town. I remember issues with sound and picture. I heard that Alpine had (relatively) recently renovated, so I gave them another shot. The seats are more recline-y, and the rows are wide (I guess people are just getting fatter). But the seats themselves felt like they were about to fall apart (and some were held together with duct tape). The screen had some noticeable holes/imperfections on it. The theatre itself wasn't kept completely dark. And I had no idea a movie could skip, but the audio/picture on our movie did a couple of times. Really poor movie going experience all around. But hey, it's cheap.

You get what you pay for ! The A very small in movie theater that typically has "most" of the on air movies. This theater is definitely not tours the clean side. They also have most of the snacks(popcorn, nachos,cheese). NOTE : LESS LIKELY TO BE ABLE TO MOVIE HOP HERE (ONE HALL WAY THAT LEADS TO ALL THE THEATER ROOMS, EASILY STAFFS CAN SEE) The tickets are $7-$10 ($2 additional for 3D) and their Wednesday promotion is $6 On Wednesdays, it is half price so it gets very full and there is a higher population of children and teenagers so it's pretty noisy. Would recommend if you just want to watch a movie but not if you are looking for somewhere comfortable and a large range of space then this is not the theater you are looking for.

I've been to cleaner adult cinemas. Ashamed I have to give a star, because it deserves 0 stars. What a dump!!! Seats broken, straw wrappers and popcorn everywhere - disgusting. Sticky floors and and a totally unfriendly staff. Should have closed a long time ago.

It's your old school local movie theatre. The two big rooms are good, however, the small one!? The cloth covered chairs are ripped and broken, and dirty. Show was supposed to start at 11:00am. The "Enjoy the show" screen has been looping since 10:59 and I went to inform the staff around 11:05. Two staff went to the back room where the movie machine located, at 11:14am - the preview finally began. I mean, you have one job, maybe more than one (clean up and collecting tickets) and play the movie... seriously?
