Lighthouse Cinema, Pacific Grove

Has that old town charme and reminds me of my little hometown movie theater growing up. The smell of fresh popcorn hits you from a block away. The concession and ticket stand employees were both attentive and made sure we got a fresh batch of buttered popcorn. Delicious! Tickets were reasonable and the best part is there's no 30 minute preview to sit through before your movie starts. Will definitely return for the more artsy movies. Did miss the bells and whistles of the chain theaters while watching a superhero movie a little bit, hence the star deduction.

Friendly staff, clean comfortable theaters, & they don't force you to watch 45 min of loud ads & previews. Just a few of upcoming movies for max 10 min. Their concession items also more reasonably priced, & you can get discounts with membership points.
