Downtown location, Sunday parking relatively easy, free n street. $11 pp. 2nd floor, the elevator smelled funky. The stairs are wide & used that ti leave. Clean, wanted no-added salt but the guy behind the counter said he wouldn't make more popcorn. Salt makes me swell. My husband went to the 1st floor concession & he said 3 people couldn't figure out what to do or didn't want to make popcorn & catch it as it pops so it doesn't get the salt from existing batches. Seems like no staff person wanted to accommodate a health requ... read more

I've been to my fair share of "upscale" movie theaters at this point and Violet Crown definitely exceeded my expectations. I was in Charlottesville on business but had some free time so decided to whip out my MoviePass. Checking in was a breeze and I picked my seat which takes the stress off of rushing to snag one. I wasn't hungry but did check out the bar area while I waited. You can order food and drinks to bring in with you. I opted for some wine which they serve in a single or double pour (hey, movies can be long!). S... read more

This is probably my favorite movie theater in town. I enjoy the atmosphere the theater offers as well as the personable feeling of the theaters being small compared to larger theaters like Regal or AMC. Also the location is great if you're killing time before the scheduled movie starts. I have yet to try their food, but from what my friend tells me it's pretty good. (I don't typically order anything at theaters tbh haha) I have also found that none of the theaters I have been in so far have been dirty. They're very well kept... read more

Great movie theater! Good selection of movies, excellent food, and a surprisingly good beer list! Facility is clean and fairly new. 4 hours of free parking at the Water Street garage with validation.

CAVEAT: I did not try their food so this review is for the theater/bar only. Okay, now that I've gotten that out of the way: I stopped into this movie theater with my MoviePass over the weekend and it was a pleasant experience. One downfall is the lack of parking. For me, I appreciate theaters that have parking but since this is downtown at the Mall, the parking isn't as convenient BUT if you park at one of the nearby garages, the theater will validate, which is nice. However, the upside is that it is close to a lot of... read more

Visiting from NYC and this is absolutely a hidden gem. Fantastic service, good food and good people. Quaint but very comfortable theater. Beautiful motif and very, very clean. Also cost $7 per person for first run movies is fantastic. When you pay for 9 family members it helps. Looking to come back as soon as possible.

Great movie theater in a very convenient location. The theaters are very clean, and the seats are comfortable. There's a wide selection of coffees and other hot drinks, as well as a full bar. In addition to traditional movie theater popcorn and candy, the Violet Crown has a chessboard, fruit snack boxes, ice cream cookie sandwiches, and many great options. The service is very friendly, the employee who served our popcorn even put extra butter on when we asked. I will definitely be returning here!

My official go-to theater now! I love Violet Crowne because of the fantastic service, bar, and comfy seats. Plus they also validate parking for four hours in Market Street or Water Street parking garage. The theater is so beautiful and clean, too. They offer complimentary sweet tea, coffee, and water as well. The bar prices are reasonable and everybody is just super nice and helpful. They let me sample different beers for free! There are also plenty of food options too. The seats are larger and so is the arm rest and cup hol... read more

Strolling around the downtown mall on a Sunday a little earlier than most of the shops were open, I was able to see a movie and have a delightful light lunch (flatbread with pear and arugula). Highly recommend!
