Love them! Wonderful staff, comfy seats! The food is overpriced but I love the fact that I can grab a cider and watch a movie. Spring rolls and salad are yummy. Highly recommended!

Y'all wanna talk comfort, then let's talk Violet Crown. This place is extremely clean and the staff are all really down to Earth and very personable. The auditorium has a cozy feel and will have you feeling like you're back in your rich Ex girlfriends home theater. The whole layout of the place is really unique. A short walk to the downstairs bar will have you walking back to the auditorium double fisting a couple cold ones.....or some candy. The food is tasty too. Cooked with love and the best ingredients. If you h... read more

Outstanding-what a great way to see a movie. Beautiful bar, the menu is decent and there is a soda machine on each floor for whatever soda and however much you desire.What a difference from the nightmare of multiplex theaters with mountains of overpriced snacks. This place has pizza's, salads,hot dogs, fries wines and liquor at a fully equipped bar and the staff is great. What else do you need ?

So I came to watch Star Wars here (since Charlottesville had that law where theater's had to bid to show it before the other one -they since got rid of that law and both local theaters can now premiere the same movie) and was impressed. The bar/cafe are open w/natural lighting (the whole front of the theater is a window-wall), clean, has seating at the bar and tables, and good handful of food selections. A little pricey (chicago style hotdog w/fries is $10), but tasty atleast. But the price is no surprise b/c the theater ... read more

What a pleasurable movie-going experience! I've been here a couple times now, and I've always been happy with the service, concessions, and comfort of the theaters. You pick your seat when you buy your ticket, so there's no stress about finding seats when you're running into the theater after dinner on the downtown mall. Every theater is equipped with roomy leather seats that are on a high enough grade that you shouldn't have a problem seeing over anyone in front of you, and some of the smaller theaters' seats even recline w... read more

I was sad to see the old theater go but this place is AWESOME!!! Chairs were amazing and booze prices amazing (especially coming from Brooklyn where everything costs an arm and a leg!!) All staff was super friendly and helpful.

I love this place. It is so comfortable and everyone who works there is so friendly! I went to one of the small screenings and the chair reclined. It was more comfortable than my house! The popcorn is also delicious. I can't wait to try the Brussel sprouts.

LOVE IT! I just watched Spotlight on Saturday morning and it was the most pleasant movie experience of my life. I was in theater 8 which only has three rows of seats. The seats recline completely and I had a table for my coffee. I felt like I was cuddled up in my living room. This place is the best. They show the best movies and the atmosphere is terrific

If you enjoy seeing movies in a mall multiplex, please keep going there! (That'll leave more seats available for the rest of us at the Violet Crown.) This is hands-down the most enjoyable movie-going experience I've ever had -- what's not to love about a cold draft beer at your seat while watching a movie! Food, beer, and wine are all available for eating in the theater or in dedicated restaurant seating area downstairs. Online booking is super-easy. There is a generous 4 hour parking validation for the nearby parking gara... read more
