First and last time coming here. The good: -The retro look is super cool. I had only seen how this place looks in, old timey movies. -Men's restroom is beautiful and kept clean. -Popcorn in a metal bowl? Cool! (Although it reminded me of a dog bowl a tiny bit) -My first interaction with the staff member that brings you the food was great and actually funny. She thought the person next to me was my partner even though we were strangers. The bad: -Auditorium 2 (the one to the left of the elevator on the second floor) smelled... read more

I LOVE❤️ The River Oaks Theatre. They screen an impressively wide range of film genres: current releases, documentary, foreign, art house, old classics…plus live events, film fests-you name it!

This is different and it’s special to have the shared communal experience of seeing films out in a beautiful theatre. You just don’t get that with Netflix. The seats are comfortable, the staff is lovely. I’... read more

Our third time visiting the iconic River Oaks Theater! There is no other cinema experience like it in Houston! Truly a one of kind! Historic and legendary!

The film curator has done an outstanding job showcasing some of the best films from arthouse, indie, mainstream, oldschool, cult classics, something for literally everyone! No way I was missing this opportunity to meet Shannon Sossamon ... read more

This is the coolest theater I've seen in the area. It kept a lot of it's original character with modern commodity. I felt super comfortable and the food was super fresh and delicious. If you are looking for a good date location, this is definitely it!

We came for a matinee on Saturday afternoon after having a pretty bad experience at another theater in town. Purchasing tickets online was easy. The pay to park situation over there is kind of a bummer but it does make it easier to find a parking spot. The seats were pretty comfortable but would be much better if they reclined. We didn’t order food or drinks so I can’t speak to that but I did notice that they serve their popcorn in reusable metal buckets which I like. I know that this is an art house theater but I do wish th... read more
