More about Grandin Theatre
Grandin Theatre is a quintessential 1932 movie house in the middle of Grandin Village that was saved from closing in 2002. It now has four screens showing a mix of first-run, independent, and documentary films. Beer and wine are available right in the lobby. They also host special screenings and events, but even on a regular night it still feels like an old-school theater in the best way.
