A small lobby, one large theatre and a one-man outside box office. This theatre isn’t known for its state-of-the-art venue, but its charm. The bright and warm lobby is always filled with chatting movie lovers. The single theatre has the look and feel of an old art house. And the box office is always occupied by an extremely friendly teller who won’t hesitate to start up a conversation with you. Places this comforting are hard to come by.
Even though there is only one screen, that doesn’t mean it isn’t a great one. Unlike many independent houses, the Royal has a huge screen with extremely spacious seating. And because of the generous room, most people are courteous and try not to crowd your space.
The theatre always makes an effort to choose interesting films and many times is the only venue in the area playing certain titles.
Ticket prices are extremely fair ranging from $7 to $10 depending on the time of day. And students always get a discounted rate of $8.50.
You should plan on arriving a little early because sometimes parking can be a bit difficult. Because there isn’t a designated area, it’s first-come-first-served street parking.
