New Beverly Cinema

Truly a unique experience. I really got what he’s trying to do here. I absolutely do not understand the people complaining about the strict no phone policy. I can’t tell you the last time I wasn’t disrupted to some degree by people chatting and whipping out their phones. I think it’s cool to put down your phone for a couple hours and be immersed in something rare like this. Obviously, you can just go to the lobby if there’s something pressing. Anyway, love the authentically retro vibe. Doesn’t seem forced, just seems like a theater from the 70s that is really clean & inviting and nobody bothered to update it. So cool. The concessions are insanely well priced as far as theaters go. I love that they’re not gouging on the concessions and I get that “normal” theaters have to in order to make ends meet, but this felt like a big relief. I’m looking forward to going back. I can tell if I lived nearby I’d be there all the time. Such a rare thing this day and age and I’m very grateful someone is keeping the 35mm films alive.

Very cute theater. Plenty of legroom. My matinee ticket was cheap. The bathroom is very crammed, but it’s really cool that it plays the audio from the auditorium. If you drive here, there’s only street parking. The surrounding neighborhood was nice, so I didn’t mind the extra walk to the theater.

A truly communal and rare cinema experience in LA. I've been coming to NBC since the early 80s. Thanks to Quentin Tarentino we aren't lamenting its passing, like so many other LA landmarks, we are celebrating it's success! If you love movies, this is mecca.

An incredible, fun movie house. Always screens on film and a terrific selection of classics and gems you’ve never heard of. Popcorn is always fresh. Fountain drinks are always cold. Get there at least a half hour early and enjoy!

Outstanding. Note: They do not allow phones up when the lights are down and rightly so but one thing I didn't realize because the photos in reviews are lights up is that the screen is much larger than I thought it was. Not IMAX or anything but the sides open up so it gives you that 1970s, 80s, 90s screen experience. NO digital movies which I love but if you go thinking you're going to get a MCU 4K crazy crisp experience, you're not but that is part of the charm of the New Bev. Great posters, intimate, old school refreshment counter, just all around great time and experience. Highly recommended.

Went to see the 7pm showing for Jackie Brown and it was everything I had hoped for. Such a cool cinema for movie lovers. Will be coming back frequently

My mom and I visited the New Beverly earlier this week for the double feature of Single White Female and Pacific Heights. The staff were very nice and accommodating to us since she was in a power chair. They were strict about enforcing the no cell phone rule in the theater, which I appreciated. I also loved the old school ambiance, the Looney Tunes cartoon, and retro trailers before and in between the features themselves. I enjoyed the 90s nostalgia and I loved that QT and his team screened these two films together. He's obviously a fan of 90s suspense thrillers and I hope he decides to screen more of them. These two films in particular have been childhood favorites ever since I first saw them with my mom upon initial release. I was kind of annoyed and quite confused with the response by the audience who watched it with us. I'm not sure if it was because times have changed or people nowadays respond to uncomfortable situations with laughter (the 90s audiences took the films more seriously). Who knows why? I tried not to let it spoil our experience. My mom had a terrible time getting in and out of the restroom because it was so tiny and not ADA compliant by any means. It was during intermission and I did not go with her, but I will take her word for it. I asked some man outside to take our picture in front of the theater marquee and he acted like it was a huge inconvenience. Luckily, a very kind staff member took better pictures of us. I wish I knew his name, but kudos to that guy for being such a good sport. I only wish I got a Rick Dalton milk mug before I left! I totally forgot to get one! Next time when I'm in LA, but on a solo trip.

Couldn't have had asked for a better experience. Bought tix online back home in Canada. Doors open 45 mins before. Got super yummy snacks like : some crazy.chocolate covered cookie dough candy things we don't have in Canada(COLD, FROM THE FRIDGE!!!) , 2 dads root beers, 2 small popcorn 🍿, and 2 amazing 2 black custom ben cinema t shirts. ~$70USD The preshow "this is what the Bev is all about and house rules" speech at the beginning is honestly worth the experience in itself. There are seriously passionate people working here We got 2nd row. The seats are not on an incline. For subtitles, I had to move my head to find a window Hoodie, leggings, sweatpants, converse. Good temp Volume is LOUD. Good loud. Only gunshots were EXTRA wow that kinda hurts loud. They play Quentins personal copies of the films. The people r the best part. The mood in that theatre warmed my soul. Film is not dead, it is very much alive. I so wish to be able to have this vibrancy at home in Vancouver. Thanks everyone! I had a great time watching Jackie Brown for the 1st time at a midnight screening Free parking at the closed down businesses across the street They have unique books for sale too
