Avalon Theatre

The only non profit theater in DC shows blockbuster movies and artistic, dedicated films. Beautiful classic interior reminds you that you are visiting the theater, not just the movies.nAvalon serves snacks, beverages (soda, apple cider, beer, wine, juices), and in my opinion the best popcorn (it doesn't upset my stomach like a movie theater popcorn might). I love this theater for the experience and feel good supporting a local business. You won't miss visiting!nIt's also walkable and nearby plenty of restaurants and a stone's toss from Chevy Chase Pavilion, so this is a perfect dinner and a show type of place. You won't be disappointed.

What a delightful theatre! Very comfortable seats, a wonderful café, and very pleasant staff. Enjoying a movie while drink chai latte??? Fabulous! We will come back often.

If you're looking for the fancy reclining seats and long lines at the impersonal food counter, Avalon is not for you.nnBut if you want to experience a traditional movie theatre, full of character, with personal service, run by people who care about movies and the movie going public, then Avalon is the best in DC. This beautiful old theatre is a treat and an echo of times gone by...

Wonderful arts theater. Very cozy and comfortable.nnA unique moviegoing experience

Good time vintage neighborhood movie theater. I give it 2 thumbs up.
