Cobble Hill Cinemas

I was really disappointed with my visit. During the movie, I noticed a mouse running across the floor, which was unsettling and made it hard to enjoy the experience. A movie theater should feel clean and comfortable, but this made me very uncomfortable. I hope management takes steps to address cleanliness and pest control because customers deserve a safe and hygienic environment. Im only giving it an extra star because of the staff are super friendly and was very understanding on the situation.

I want to love it here. I’ve been many times as it’s a close walk and I’d like to support a neighborhood cinema. They have a number of screens and generally a good selection of movies playing. But the chairs are often uncomfortable, wobbly, and/or weirdly angled. Additionally, I’ve now seen mice on two separate occasions so will avoid returning.

If you like and old school vibe movie theater this is the place for you. They have only one size slushy drink. They do have nachos and popcorn. The gentleman at concessions was a little distracted. He was going to give me a slushy that was messy with slushy hanging out of the cup. He forgot to charge me for and item I asked for. Overall all of you are looking for a small quant movie theater this is a great spot. Also there are a lot of restaurant options along the way.

My first time ever in Cobble Hill Cinemas. It's a comfortable and cozy environment. While we watched the movie Sinners eating hot buttered popcorn. Had a little problem pulling up electronic tickets, but the staff remained professional with a smile.

As I’ve now sat in every screening room and have had a range of good to comically bad experiences, I sadly cannot give a business that sells seats in the small theater that are, and I am not exaggerating, 3 feet from the screen a good review. It’s just scummy and greedy. To top it off I could hear cockroaches skittering around on the floor. Tickets are expensive so go elsewhere if your movie is not in the large theater (2).

Great movies show, sounding is good, it's a nostalgic theater with spacious seating. Children friendly, no alcoholic beverages. Chairs does not recline. Menu is very simple popcorn, candy and franks in which is very overpriced.

Typical movie theater with small portion pricey food options(think 7.50 for like 20 nachos with a small amount of cheese). While ordering you feel rushed and like the staff wants to move you along as fast as possible as the main priority. The theater itself was hot and humid with uncomfortable seats.

Staff are accommodating enough. Incline in theater is not great, so I can't see. I'm from LA where the theaters are larger.,,so this was not an enjoyable experience. Great for small crowds where you can sit without your view being blocked. Waste of money.

Wow, I've been coming to this Cinema for around 27 years! My first apartment was in Brooklyn Heights. There used to be a cinema near my apartment on Orange Street but CH cinema played better films. It's evolved from a very old fashioned cinema...$8 bargain matinees on Tuesdays and Thursdays back in the late 90s to $12 first matinee on Sundays. CH has multiple screens and theaters however not as big as stadium venues. That's fine by me because I prefer a more intimate venue because film is a personal viewing for me. There are two bathrooms: one located on main floor and one located on third floor. To get to the upper level there are no elevators just a staircase. As you climb the stairs take a look at the movie posters adorning the walls. This venue started selling tickets via outside kiosks around mid 2000's. You can also purchase via Fandango and reserve your seat for an extra fee. They have a concession stand and offer really good popcorn. The screening rooms are small but very clean. CH is on Butler Street and in the heart of Carroll Gardens. There are a wealth of eateries for pre or post film viewing. If you are feeling adventurous you can walk to Smith Street and also take advantage of fine dining, my personal favorite, Cafe Luluc. I'm really happy that CH shoes independent films as well as international which means to me that they understand the demographic of Carroll Gardens who enjoy art house films. Which is why I'm writing this review from my reserved seat waiting to see the great Juliette Binoche in The Taste of Things. Cobble Hill Cinema is easy to get to by train: R to Court Street,@10 minute walk and F train to Carroll Street B63 to Court Street, short walk. See ya at the movies!

Came with a friend to watch Wicked over the weekend! While I enjoyed the movie, I didn't feel like this spot was necessarily the best viewing experience. I do appreciate local spots and found many of the aspects of the cinema fun and vintage, but the theaters and screens were really small. When booking, I'd recommend sitting a bit closer to the screen. Seats were comfortable. Some portion of our pre-movie theater experience consisted of tv ads (and few movie trailers) which I found a bit disappointing. A bottle of water is $4 and there's a somewhat crusty water fountain option as well. Tight bathrooms.

It's not clean. I saw a bug crawling right under my foot before the movie started. I'd rather traveling further to go to a better movie theatre. Also watching a movie here is not worth the money. Never going back here!

Place is amazing and always great to go watch movies with my family. The staff here are good as well.

Best indy theater. Great super value deals on popcorn and soda. I like seeing they survived covidand still going. Good crowds also.

We saw the new Top Gun at Cobble Hill Cinemas a few weeks ago when we were in NYC for an extended holiday weekend. I know everyone wants recliner seats and cushy chairs and fancy food at theaters now, but I love NYC's older movie theaters. When I was in college, one of my favorite things to do was to go see a movie at any of NYC's smaller, older movie theaters after my last class of the day. Cobble Hill Cinemas is like so many of those theaters I used to visit then. It's not a fancy, renovated theater. But it's a theater I immediately loved for its nostalgic simplicity. I had a great time. It's really all you need - an entertaining movie in a dark theater with other people laughing or gasping or tearing up. It was a great evening - I would be here all the time if I lived in the neighborhood!

I felt so bad disappointing my grandson when we went to see "Willy Wonka" at the Cobble Hill Cinemas. We accidentally got tickets in the tiny upstairs theater for the front row, thinking it was the last row. It's a travesty to sell those tickets as the view is ridiculous. Even my 6 year old grandson who was so excited to see this movie, said he couldn't sit so close to the screen. Also, we couldn't even find our seats A7 and A8. Other customers tried and said there was no 7 or 8. With no staff to help us, we went downstairs to the staff at the door. Too busy. No empathy. No refund, of course. We won't be going back to this short staffed, unkind, theater.

Cobble Hill Cinemas is my favorite movie theater to visit. I have been going here for many years. I used to go here frequently to see films before Covid. More recently I saw "The Holdovers" with friends, On Tuesdays and Thursdays all day you can get reduced prices for tickets. The first showing or matinee performances any day will get you discounted prices as well. The theater has been revamped with new seating but still has the old school vibe. I love the message which tells you to make sure to "turnoff pagers and cell phones" before the movie starts. I have never had a problem with any of the staff working here. I just love this place!

TLDR: AWESOME OG SMALL TOWN THEATER IN BK If you like old school Murica, it really doesn't get better than this! Main Street prices & a truly nostalgic small town experience in a gorgeous stretch of BK! This place is not big or fancy, its almost too cozy. The seats are very broken in. The projectors are mediocre. The acoustics not optimal. The bathrooms are claustrophobic. The butter machine may cause chest pains. Bundle that altogether and you have a truly special experience that is just as beautiful but way more authentic than a Restoration Hardware gallery. I came here with my family to see Once Upon a Time in Murica & will definitely be back!

Well, I wanted to enjoy my return trip to Cobble Hill first time since the pandemic (last film I saw was 2019's Rocketman) but alas, I won't be coming back ever. Just a comically bad experience here. The movie I wanted to see was playing at many cinemas but I wanted to support a mom and pop place so I came here. Things first went wrong when I attempted to purchase a ticket from a machine outside. Machine took my money but sadly would not administer the ticket. I alerted them and their solution (because they didn't think the machine had accepted my money) was to buy a second ticket and then they would reimburse me if I would email them. Because they were confident the ticket was not sold, as the printer seemed to be working in the machine. I asked them to check again to see if I'd purchased the ticket as I was confident I had. And guess what? I had. Funny how the customer turns out to be right sometimes. I mentioned they might want to put a sign out to alert other customers and the guy was like "yeah I was about to do that" but in a kind of snotty way. He huffily told me to leave and not come back until 15 minutes before the film. So I killed the time grocery shopping. I did purchase a can of coke and a few cans of soup. When I returned for the film I was shocked that the guy at the door took my entire bag with my entire groceries. I get not wanting me to enter with soda - petty as that is - but do you think I'm going to cook soup for your audience? No other theater does this, not IFC, not Union Square's theaters, not the little Kent theater on Coney Island Avenue. It's a gross policy. You got my $14 for the film, be happy with that. Listen, whether or not you take my can of coke I'm still not buying your overpriced concessions, so all you get is a dehydrated customer. The guy took my ticket and tore off the seat number so I didn't know where I was sitting. I vaguely recalled sitting at seat number 6, but there was no 6, so I sat at 5. Then someone else said it was their seat. I had to meet with the manager again. Turns out they sold me a seat that did not exist and mislabeled the numbers of the seats at the theater. Did anyone apologize? Silly rabbit, politeness is for other people. The theater was also really cold. The bathroom had an odd layout that meant everyone was in everyone's face. I'm giving the place two stars instead of one because they have a cute theater trailer from the 1990s that tells you to turn off your pagers. I appreciate nostalgia. They also have a nice marquee outside that has a retro flavor.

Great staff, loved the old school vibe! Support your local Brooklyn business, people! I'll be back!

Terrible theater, unbelievably hot and stuffy, uncomfortable seating, and rude staff to boot.

Came here to see Get Out. I chose this theatre because to me they had the cheapest prices to see a movie in Brooklyn. $9 for a matinee before 5pm. Compared to spending $14 or $20 (really?) at nearby theatres I'll take this one! I have no complaints really, this theatre was not as bad as people described. The staff were friendly and efficient. The theatre seats were slightly uncomfortable though. Sound quality was AMAZING! Best I've heard in a theatre in a very long time! Lobby is very tiny but you're not there long so who cares. Best of all this theatre didn't smell like piss or mold. Clean and quaint just the way I like it!

Nice oldie movie house in a nice location. I wanted to see a particular movie and this was where I was directed. A little far from my house, but an easy drive. A small entrance or lobby area accommodates the concession area and restroom. The theaters are long and medium sized with the older seating chairs. What I liked is that the arrangement of the seating, at least on the left side is sort of staggered.in a curvilinear mode. This provides fair viewing to the screen. This particular movie was an artsy, animated film about a young ballerina. The audience was filled with families and their aspiring youngsters. At the end, they were imitating the steps and giving the rest of us a free performance. I will keep an eye on their showings, because I want to come back. Staff was friendly and nice.

I rarely write reviews but I feel compelled because this movie theater is so bad! The lobby is so tiny that to get inside the theater you have to wait outside in line in the cold. Once you get inside, you can barely move because it's so packed, as the entrances and exits to all of the theaters all lead into that one tiny lobby, and the (long) line for the one concessions stand intersects with it. The seats are old and uncomfortable. The water was not working in the women's bathroom. The bathrooms are so small you can barely move around in them, and there are long lines because they can't accommodate more than 2 or 3 people at once. There is no butter for the popcorn. Worst of all, the hot dogs we ordered were hot on the outside and ice cold on the inside - clearly they had been just taken out of the freezer and not cooked even close to all the way through. Not just inedible, but unsafe. Old-school can be charming, but this theater is absolutely not worth it. We certainly will not be returning.

Came here to see Incredibles 2 over the Summer and I must say this was on of the smallest theaters I've ever been to. That's not necessarily a bad thing because it made the viewing more intimate. They don't really make theaters designed that way anymore. You purchase your ticket outside of the venue versus inside. It took a moment to realize that but once I did, I was directed straight ahead into the theater. I decided to use the restroom prior to showtime and left a mini black backpack in there accidentally. Fortunately one of the staff members came into the theater and announced that they found the bag. After a brief description, they handed the bag over and I was relieved. Definitely a pleasant experience overall and I don't see why wouldn't I want to come back here for another time.

Really enjoyed the old school aesthetic. Some of the workers aren't exactly enthusiastic to be there but they're polite and they get the job done. Saw black widow and wanted to come back. Very nice indie vibes as well

this is the worst movie theater I've ever been too. the people are not kind, there is food on the floor and the seats are always dirty. the space is too small and they do a very good job at cleaning

I have a semi-soft spot in my heart for Cobble Hill Cinemas. Apparently many years ago, it was called the Rio (I found this fun fact online) whereupon it closed and then re-opened later as Cobble Hill Cinema. I've been seeing movies here for years. It has that nostalgic and small town feeling to it. Standing on the corner of Court & Butler Streets, Cobble Hill Cinema always set itself apart from the unkempt Regal Cinema farther north on Court Street. Reason being is due to the fact that they run more intellectual, indie and foreign movies which in turn attracts a different audience. Don't be fooled--at the premiere showing of a new movie, just about every seat will be occupied in a given theater room. And we all know that nobody wants the dreaded first 3 rows (at least I don't). It's recommended to arrive earlier on such nights. Cobble Hill Cinema is not without fault. It's in dire need of a facelift as the interior appears tired and worn out. Or perhaps, that's what makes it charming. However, during a recent visit to see a movie, I was pleased to observe the replacement of those tired, red fabric seats (whose springs had sprung) with new pleather seating. I am assuming and hoping all seats in the entire theater have been replaced. These seats are not plush but it's clean and comfy enough. As far as prices go, Cobble Hill Cinema is still the best bargain around town even though they've increased their rates. Movies are $9 all day on Tuesdays and Thursdays. Every movie before 5 PM all week is also $9. Regularly priced movies has shot up to $12. Not long ago, it was $10. Still not bad compared to $15 I've been paying in Manhattan. 3-D movies are $14. There are also senior and kids' rates. About the concession stand: its small, oftentimes creates a line. Expect the same variety of snacks (heart clogging buttered popcorn, soda, coffee, tea, candy, chocolate and nachos, etc.) at the usual outrageous movie concession stand prices. Shhhh, I carry a granola bar or my own snack in my bag sometimes. In summary, this cinema is a welcomed fixture on Court Street and home to many avid movie goers. I appreciate it being in the neighborhood.

TL;DR Review: - No thrills with reasonable ticket prices - Small / Cozy theaters with a neighborhood vibe. - Screens are a bit crooked There's usually movie ticket specials throughout the week. Example: Tuesday / Thursday $9 Adult tickets all day ... verify with the cinema first.

Seeing a film at Cobble Hill Cinemas is like stepping back in time, or stepping a few hundred miles into Middle America (which are essentially the same thing, in my limited experience with time travel and flyover states). For gods' sakes, the pre-movie slides still ask you to turn off your pagers. I haven't had a pager since me, Poot and Wallace were slangin' in the Pit for them Barksdale boys.* In any case, Cobble Hill is better in just about every conceivable way than the Court Street multiplex a few blocks to the north. Their prices are better (particularly the matinees), the film selection is better, the surrounding bars/restaurants for pre/post movie drinks/eats are better, and there is a distinct lack of screaming at the screen by the patrons. One warning though: Don't get the nachos, because much like most movie theater nachos, they are repulsive. And if you get them to share with your date and realize their repulsiveness, she might get irrationally angry at you when she feels ill because you "forced" her to eat all of them by herself when really she was just as capable of not eating the nachos. The truth is that she's just jealous of your superior palate that screamed at you not to eat the repulsive neon cheese because in actuality, it is not cheese, but vile dreck that is unfit to serve to humans. _____________ * Unless that was in The Wire, and I never actually had a pager. I don't really remember.

As a Brooklyn native, you might find it weird that I just visited this movie theater for the first time, but in my defense, I live pretty far out. This movie theater is a throwback - it's been there for a while and you can tell. The ticketing booth is right out front with one person selling tickets and on a busy night, you might find yourself actually waiting outside the theater with a crowd because the entrance is so small. On a Friday night, there were 2 people working the snack counter and they seemed to work pretty quickly. A small popcorn and a bottle of water will set you back $9.50, but that's to be expected at movie theaters. The counter looked like it needed a good cleaning though. Actually, the whole place needs a bit of a facelift, to be honest. I find it charming that before the show, there is a reminder to shut off your beepers and pagers. I wasn't alive in the 80s, but I felt like I was transported there! It's nostalgic and funny, kind of happy they haven't changed this to "silence your cell phones." The seats were comfy enough too. No complaints here. With the price of $12 for a movie instead of the usual $17+ that other NYC and BK movie theaters charge, I can definitely say I'd come back here again.

Came here to get away from obnoxious millenials and big-theater crowds in general. Just my luck that in a 60% empty theater, the idiots managed to find me anyway -- first some tool wearing a hat obliviously, then a drunk/high couple I had to shush through the first hour of Blade Runner repeatedly. BUT, I am positive that this was an exception to the rule. END OF RANT (which has nothing to do with the theater) The theater itself is a really solid, throwback experience. It might as well be the 80s or 90s in here. You can't beat the price (about $12 a person and not even for a matinee).

This movie-theater is solid 3 stars. Not bad, but nothing to rave about either. Simply can't compare it to Alamo or some of the big chains - screens are smaller, theaters are smaller, seats are very basic. Simple concession stand that had hot-dogs, nachors, popcorn, soda. But it does have good prices - recent weekday film cost me $18 for 1 adult and 1 child - not bad in NYC, quite cheap. Saw Christopher Robin here. Theater was small, but screen size and sound quality ok for size of room. Seats very basic but not uncomfortable (on a narrow side - I was fine, but a fat person may have issues). We enjoyed the film and popcorn\soda. So no complaints. Can buy tix in advance but then have to print. Easier to buy at the window or from ATM looking machine outside. Could see how it can be a challenge on busy showtimes though (opening days and weekend evenings - may be a mess to get tix) Definite A-Ok

the ppl at concessions are RUDE, yelled at us to leave the lobby for no reason. we are patrons but they were clearly profiling us. do not come here. bad theatre and smelly and no AC. would give 0 stars if i could

They check your bags in case you are thinking about bringing in snacks so that's a bummer otherwise cool theater

A million years later but I finally made my way to Cobble Hill Cinemas on a Tuesday afternoon to watch Parasite. I practically had the theater to myself. (There were 2 other people who I couldn't even hear breathing--they had me beat for most quiet). I love the intimate, old-timey vibes of that movie theater. Four stars because the popcorn was hella stale for a $5.50 small size. Also, the attendants could've used some liveliness. I was tempted to burst into a farewell song on my way out because I said "good night" on my way out, but they appeared to ready to get up out of there and into their beds. The bathroom was quite smelly of old urine so I'd recommend some tending to that on the down time, where there seems to be a lot of on that early Tuesday evening.

Not a very happy camper at this movie theater. This was my first time there and probably my last. The bathrooms were not clean and somewhat small. I guess I'm use to bigger theaters as well. The minute we came into the theater we saw popcorn all over the floor, cups, and old bubblegum stuck to the floors. I'm just being honest and was disappointed. My friend came out with a backache because the seats were so uncomfortable and you did not have enough leg space. I was tossing and turning myself trying to get comfortable. One plus was that the staff at the concession was friendly. I believe they need to remodel this place. I wish I could have said better things but I had to be honest.

Love this place but the checking bag is outdated and rude. People pay 14 for a ticket and buy popcorn and a drink for 12 you don't need to take a small bag of candy that costs 5$+ at your concession stand and be rude about it. The blonde lady at the door called us "desperate" for trying to bring in sour patch kids when we didn't complain or say anything about her taking them. Usually have good experiences here but didn't appreciate the rudeness considering that's what everyone does at movies theater.

This tiny no frills theater is just fine. They have a good selection of indie movies, and like most such theaters, they have pretty small, uncomfortable seats, with no stadium seating. You are also guaranteed to be surrounded by exclusively old people and hipsters, due to the low prices and the neighborhood, respectively. Aside from the above mentioned much cheaper prices than most theaters in NYC, and the pretty good location in terms of some good places to eat around here (if you happen to be in Brooklyn for some reason), there aren't many other positives. The concession stand is also way cheaper (just $9 for the Super Combo of the tub of popcorn and the large soda - though, the larges here are way smaller than the larges at chains). Unfortunately, the popcorn was super stale. Luckily I have a very thick-skinned wife who didn't mind missing the first few seconds of the movie and ran out and had them exchange our popcorn for some from a hot, freshly popped batch. I can only imagine how long the first batch was sitting there as it was nearly inedible. Even with the new batch though, it obviously tasted good since it was hot popcorn, but it was a little too greasy and overwhelming even for me. It is also fun to see the intro video that is literally straight out of the 90's (not 80's, there is a pager references in there). But I think I'd still much rather stick to Angelika or Landmark in the city for my indie movies.

Nice, small theater. I've gone here to catch a matinee and during the evening. I didn't like that they searched bags and purses, although brief. Should I be worried? What are they looking for anyway? They didn't searched bags during the evening viewing though. So, not sure what the daytime search is all about. They have the usual concession stand and the popcorn is pretty good. The theater can be a little warm and that's not a complaint (I don't like to be uncomfortably cold whilst trying to enjoy a movie.) the bathrooms are cute and clean and that's a definite plus.

This is probably the smallest movie theatre I've been to. It's really cozy and the service is great. I will be back with my kids so they can input on it.

Came here because it was the least expensive movie theater relatively nearby in Brooklyn. Pretty much what I expected from a non-chain movie theater - laid back atmosphere, no crazy lines, a little rundown, small theaters, fewer food options. The seats are clean and comfy, but the armrests are awkwardly short, so the drink holder is situated mid-forearm. I really enjoyed some quirky things like murals of classic movie scenes (including several menacing villains and monsters which I'm sure must terrify kids) and a "welcome to the theater" reel that features some wild 1990s CGI and warns you to silence your pager. Great throwback. They also have a self-serve butter dispenser, so you can grease up your popcorn as needed.

Do not go see A Quiet Place here if you want people to be quiet. Staff are great, clean and nice. It's not for the cinematic experience.

I just saw a few reaction videos of people watching Spider-man: No Way Home and made my way here to give CHC their well-deserved 5 stars. I called in advance to make sure I confirm that talking during the movie wasn't allowed, let along constant screaming during, especially in the midst of the most important parts of the most anticipated movies. Along with an old school PSA in the beginning that enforced that rule, I got NONE of those drunk screamers at Cobble Hill Cinemas! Cobble Hill Cinemas is a good place to watch documentary films that don't release in all chain theaters. I went there to watch a Mr. Rogers Documentary for my birthday a few years ago, and I could not have chosen a better place to go to. The ticket prices there are lower, but so is the amount of people per-room. The smaller than normal screen is not a huge flaw, especially when you can see all of it in an easy view. It gets even better with staff checking Vaccination statuses, but NOT your bags! Cobble Hill Cinemas will most likely be my go-to place for future Marvel Cinematic Universe movies. Also, peep the exotic restaurants surrounding the place..... especially The Chocolate Room just next door.

You would think that if you have a small establishment customer experience would be important to the staff but no, apparently not. My boyfriend and I came to this theater only due to its proximity to my job. When we arrived the directions weren't clear for where to get your tickets printed if you'd purchased online, so the staff member sent us back outside to print them. After the movie many of the movie goers, including us, were waiting inside for our ubers to arrive since it was cold and pouring rain. Cue "Andrew", the apparent manager, who rudely announces that everyone hurry up and leave so that there is room for people to come in. There were two people who came in the entire time we were waiting for a car. Staff here are rude and unfriendly. Take your business elsewhere!

Great neighborhood theatre. My daughters and I always have a pleasant experience here, it's so much quieter compared to the theater a few blocks away.

Sorry I can only give this place one star, not really... I get it has some history, etc., but I cannot stand the following from an old school movie theater: (1) Had to wait in line OUTSIDE the movie theater before the movie started, and mind you, it was in the rain. (2) Only three bathroom stalls in Ladies restroom, for the entire movie theater. I have never seen lines that long for bathrooms. (3) Obviously this is an old school movie theater, but I really do not get how back in the days people could see the screen when the seats in front of you were not that much lower than you. I had to change seats twice because the people in front of me happened to have long torso. (4) I sat relatively close to the door, so unfortunately I could hear some kids crying and some adults laughing, in the lobby... Anyways, kudos to people who maintain this place so well. But if I want to watch a movie, I'd rather go somewhere mainstream, where I don't have to wait outside to get in, or have to struggle to watch the screen, or have to wait in a mile long line to get into bathroom, or...

Since this is the closest movie theater to my apartment I frequent this place, but man oh man does it need a makeover! The seats are absolutely from the 80s or earlier and super uncomfortable. And while I understand that vintage definitely has its charm, I do not see that in this place. To their credit, they do offer a very good variety of movies and available showtimes, but I've never left the theater thinking how comfortable I was the entire time.

I hadn't been to cobble hill in years, although it was the usual when I was growing up. The theaters are long and narrow, more like the Angelina than the Alamo, for example, which isn't my favorite. But they've updated he seats so they're not gross old cloth, but new fake leather which is less hot and seems easier to clean. The sound quality was good. It just happened that they had the director in the theater for the showing, so that was a nice touch. There's just one ticket window and one concession stand, so just before shows the line can certainly build up. The concessions still look pretty old school. They get a decent selection that's a nice complement to the alamo and the court street UA--some of the same stuff, some less major movies.

Super small throwback movie theatre with a skeleton staff and uncomfortable seats. What else would you expect from a movie theatre of this caliber? If the movie your watching is good, you'll lose yourself in the chalk board size movie screen and forget about the creature comforts the place is lacking. (Why are their arm rest so short?) If the movie sux, well then your in for an uncomfortable two hours. My advice, go to a midday day movie and make-out in the back corner like it's a teenage love affair with that special someone; you'll probably be the only ones in there. Don't be mad at this place, you know exactly what you're getting when you step into Cobble Hill Theatre.

Cute place, ticket prices are a little cheaper than some of the bigger theaters. Keep in mind there is a surly gentleman at the front door taking tickets and aggressively checking bags for outside food. My son and I had just come from Trader Joe's and decided to see a movie, so we had a couple bags of groceries with us, which he refused to let me take into the movie theater. We bought food and drinks from the concession stand, and I tried to explain that we would not be snacking on the groceries, and I was still rudely told that the groceries would not be going into the movie theater with me. So my bags of groceries had to wait outside the theater while we watched the movie. He was just as discourteous with the other patrons. (Maybe would have helped if the guy that sold the tickets would have told us the groceries weren't allowed. We would have skipped the movie altogether.) Also, we saw the first movie of the day and the popcorn we bought was beyond stale. My guess is they were using up the remnants of the previous day's popcorn.

First time at this theater. Cute, clean place. It's stuck in the 80's. The advertisement telling you to be quiet gave me nostalgia. Someone yelled out "don't forget to turn off your beepers." Lol Its not as easily accessible via public transportation, so the crowd here is a little more reserved, which I like. No stadium seating, but I was fine with that.

Really good seats for couples. Sound wasn't too loud so it wasn't like blaring. The employees are VERY nice. And the bathrooms were just the cutest designs ever!! Definitely must try this place out! It also is very vintage and great for those instagram worthy photos!

Although I previously gave this very quaint movie theater 5 stars, I am now compelled to only give it 4 stars but for a very specific reason. The gentleman (that term is not earned) that greets you and takes your tickets is quite rude and I am not saying that based on one experience. I have had about 3 to 4 experiences with this worker who needs a talking to because he knows nothing about how to greet someone and in my opinion he actually takes away from the overall Movie experience. Boss/owner, talk to and train this man on manners! Particularly given that he is the first person you encounter. It would certainly be more pleasant to be greeted by a polite, or even cheerful (maybe a smile?) ticket taker, in such a pleasant theater. And just to add, this worker not only takes tickets but is the go-to person for general questions (i.e. theater location, checking food-items, bathroom location). I am someone who is really peeved by workers who make YOU, the customer, feel guilty or bad for asking a very ordinary and simple question. Btw, LASTLY, allow me to mention that this worker seems always to work on Saturday evenings, as that is always when I go to the movies. (It's possible that a nicer ticket taker works another shift).

$11 dollar tickets + a generally well-mannered clientele and of course, a good selection of films. Win-win, on all fronts.

Is this review #800? I think this is review #800. Cobble Hill Cinemas has its charm and its place in the movie theater hierarchy. Go to the Court Street Regal if you want to see something in IMAX or the latest blockbuster. Go to Cobble Hill Cinemas if you want a more intimate setting with smaller (dare I say, Indie) movies. The theaters upstairs are super tiny. There's literally nowhere to sit to be dead center with the screen. The air conditioner turns on and off, which makes listening to quiet dialog difficult. It's also so small that the struggles of someone opening a box of candy can be heard by everybody in the theater. But hey, they play an 80s style intro before the movie, and the place is decorated with old school posters and wallpaper. If you want to impress a date... you probably shouldn't go to the movies anyway. But CHC is definitely a unique experience at least. For better or for worse...

Quite possibly the worst movie experience of my life. Tight cramped seats from the 1970's mixed with the smallest theatre screen in existence. Add that Star Wars is playing on the next theatre screen and there is no sound proofing so we get to feel every sound effect. AVOID AT ALL COSTS.

There's so much to love about Cobble Hill Cinemas, especially for someone like me who is having a mid life crisis at the ripe old age of 32 years old! You see, I've lived here my whole life and with everything around me changing so fast i seem to be grasping at anything in the borough of Kings that reminds me of my youth. Cobble Hill Cinemas, please enter the review stage right... I've wanted to see "The Artist" for quite some time, and my go-to theater in Sheepshead Bay never decided to add it to their rotation. This past President's Day was the perfect opportunity for me to see it so i begrudgingly woke up early on my day off to go see it here. Why begrudgingly? No online advanced ticketing scares me, looking for a free parking spot anywhere near Court Street scares me, and the fact that the theater is smaller than Trader Joes scares the CRAP out of me. (They do have 3D capability, which surprised me!) But i did it anyway, and it was the first time i stepped into Cobble Hill Cinemas since my dad brought me to see Terminator 2 many many years ago. It was just as i remembered it: the smallest lobby area in the history of cinema! If it were not 12 noon on a holiday i probably would have been on a line out the door! I went to get some popcorn and soda and to my delight, i paid &7.50 for BOTH! That's about as much as one item anywhere else! So i take my seat, and i get blown away by something i had not seen in two decades, the "opening" welcome message from the theater. You know how they tell you not to text while the move is on? This place reminds you to "turn your pagers off" before the film....wow i loved that so much! Along with the early 90's neon graphics in the message. So they have 6 theaters in this tiny space, but it works. Their theaters are the size of the mini versions at the UA establishments (you know, the theaters where they park the movies that are a week from being removed from rotation). Either way, it didn't bother me, i got into my seat, which was comfortable, and enjoyed a movie that will probably sweep the Oscars this weekend (remember where you hear it first!). Bottom line, Cobble Hill Cinemas serves so many purposes for moviegoers. They are affordable, they offer films that are mostly out of rotation at other theaters and most importantly they show all of us that the little guy can perform just as well as the big boys. Bravo to the folks who run this cinema, you do a great job on so many levels, and thank you for putting my crisis at ease for 2 hours!
