I moved to San Francisco 12 years ago and I still pine for the Byrd Theatre. It's just that amazing and magical. Nothing comes close to the bargain-rate splendor one may find at the Byrd what with the...

Great old fashioned movie house, especially on Saturday nights with the organ performance before the movie. And at $2 for a ticket, you can't beat it for a night of entertainment.

Who can beat going to a movie for $2? I mean, really? Sure, my butt falls asleep by the end, but hey, it was only $2! My husband and I go to the Byrd on a regular basis and spend less than $10 on...

I Love Byrd Theatre, but there is a difference between Historic seats and just plain unbearable.

Fantastic, beautiful old-timey theater (art deco if you want to get technical). Tickets are 1.99 (cash only) and on Saturday you get to see the guy play the Wurlitzer. They sell homemade brownies and...

If they would fix those damn seats, this would be THE movie theater to go to in Richmond. They could show first-run movies, charge full price, and they would have people lining up around the block on...

The theatre here is beautiful... if you close your eyes, you can almost believe you are back in the 1920's. The movies are cheap- $1.99- though you can pay more to sit in the balcony when it's open....

I started going to the Byrd when I was little, and even though I knew that the seats were kind of lumpy, I had no idea that they afforded so little leg room until I was older. Despite these...

For a historic landmark, this place is pretty well maintained. The floors are unusually sticky, the seats are a bit uncomfortable, but the experience itself makes up for it. I sat in the balcony...

It is rare that classic, old school theaters like this one survive on the East coast so be thankful the Byrd is still around. $1.99 for second run movies is cheaper than renting plus there are...

When you step inside, it almost takes your breath away. The elegance of the theater is remarkable--is it possible something like this can still exist in the twenty-first century? It's like a time warp--and it...
