The Davis Theater, where matinees are real matinees

I hope I don’t regret sharing my favorite new release movie theater…

The Davis Theater is located near the heart of Lincoln Square, only has a few screens, and tickets are only $8.00.  The best part is that matinee tickets (before 6 p.m.) are only $5.50.  (There are also special rates for students and seniors.) Those are real ticket prices, not the exorbitant prices most city theaters charge.

Now, knowing the tickets are cheap, expect the floors to be a tad sticky and the box office run by teenagers.  However, it is well worth it for the real popcorn and old fashioned movie theater atmosphere.

Due to its prime Lincoln Square location, there are restaurants, bars, and coffee shops nearby.  The Western Brown line stop is only steps away, and street parking is available, so have a few quarters ready for that too.
