Grand Lake Theatre

"Amazing movie palace. You must see movies here to keep it running. Unfortunately the festival we saw here used to be at another movie palace that's being converted to a live venue. Glad to still have this one. Nice to explore the upstairs where they had a temporary gift shop for the festival. On the first floor down a side corridor there are old projectors and pictures from history."

"This is my go to theater in Oakland for new movies as they come out. I have found that it has the best prices in the area and the staff are very friendly and welcoming. It also is right by Lake Merritt, meaning that you can spend some time walking around the lake before going to the movie. There are also a lot of good places to eat or grab a drink nearby if you are trying to have a whole night out on the town."

"This is my favorite theater in Oakland! It is over 100 years old and is very well kept. Real buttered popcorn, comfortable seats, and a classical ambiance."

"Such a beautiful movie theater!! Gorgeous inside and out. Very comfy chairs, delicious popcorn, nice staff. Loved the organ playing before the movie. Not too crowded. Will definitely come back! Highly recommend."

"I like Grand Lake Theater— depending on the day you can catch $8-$10 matinees. Popcorn is good and likes are short. I’ve been a few times and the audience is pleasant along with the staff. Able to find movie times online and purchase tickets online. Although, I’ve went up to the Theater a few times and walked up to purchase my ticket without a problem."
