I love everything about the David Minor Theater. Great staff, great seats, great food selection and drinks. I want to go there more often, but I hate the selection of movies. My friends and I have a hard time deciding when to go, because the film selection are usually big box office films that had a recent bluray release. You might as well be going to a friends house to watch a movie. I like to watch the big budget blockbusters when they come out in the big fancy theaters, I honestly wished the David Minor played more limited releases, because the Bijou doesnt keep up with everything. I also wish they played more classic movies and acclaimed films, if they did that, Id be a frequent visitor. Instead I see them playing the same movie for a month plus, and the selections arent that great (CHAPPiE and Trainwreck were playing there for an eternity). Usually these showings only have a few people going to them anyways, so why not do spaghetti western/samurai movie events, or rerun Casablanca or something? You only need a couple showings, and I bet theyd fill up.

KThey have an interesting selection of movies, have kombucha on tap, and cater some really delicious food from 2 local businesses. You can also purchase beer and popcorn with optional nutritional yeast, or candy and soda pop, if thats your movie preference, and they bring your order to your seat in the theater when it is ready so you can enjoy the show. If youre in the middle of a movie and you find the bottom of your brew, you can text for a refill. Now thats service! Other than a little bit of spilled popcorn, the theater has always been pretty clean, too. The staff has always been very pleasant and helpful. We brought in a blanket last time because the theaters can get a little chilly when the air is on and no one said anything about it, which I really appreciated. Tuesdays and Sundays are discounted days which is perfect for date night on a budget! Highly recommended!

Love the small, casual feel. But the owner is also a dealer of high-end audiophile-grade equipment and they really set this place up. It doesnt sound small and casual. Some people think its annoying to have the employees coming in to deliver food and drink orders (you can order by text message), but on the other hand, they deliver your food/drink orders! You just have to go in with the right attitude. The one thing that would make this place better, is a better place to hang out when not going to a movie.

I love this theater because its small, cozy, comfortable, unusual, serves you food in your seat, has couches and recliners, shows movies that the small crowds can participate in, is run by friendly people, and has a memorial to David Minor who sounds like he was a great guy who died very young (see his bike memorial by 13th and Willamette). Try it out!

Seriously? If you havent been here yet then make a trip over. Lots of current movies with a few modern classics sprinkled in Lebowski!), To watch a lrage screen from comfy leather chairs and be able to have neighboring restaurants deliver when you text an order during the film is awesome. That, and did i mention legal beer at the movies!

So we went in to see Star Trek.. and they went is to see Swiss Army Man without telling us. What the hell?? This is garbage! Who the hell sells ticket to the wrong movie? The excuse was "oh our website is wrong". That and your building sign! This place is has treated me well but an absolute garbage move! Disrespectful and inexcusable.

Best local movie theater in Eugene! Serve beer, delivered to your seat by txt message. Even have food ordered from cornucopia across the street, also delivered to you in the theater! Couches and chairs to lay and sit on comfortably. Cant go wrong here.

Primary front desk server/ticket vendor charged us regular price when we specifically stated and were eligible for senior discount. He seems to choose rather arbitrarily whom he will serve politely and courteously and with whom he will do the opposite.

I love it, nice relaxed atmosphere, good movies and beer. They seem like they have a decent system worked out. Only thing i noticed was that if the line for tickets gets too long it seemed like it gets all crammed up in the lil entryway

Really nice service and nice selection of food. The atmosphere is great with comfy seating, and a totally different experience with going out to watch a movie. 10/10 would definitely recommend and wil definitely be coming back.

Small local venue that often features counter culture classics. Stuffed chairs and sofas take the place of the usual theatre seating, and you can order food from nearby eateries to be delivered during the show.

I love this place for the cozy atmosphere, option for beer, and interesting movie selections. So much better than a bloated, sticky, filthy place you find everywhere else. Its always my first choice

Great vibe. Homely and friendly. I wish there were places like this at home. Good beer. Good food from local restaurants delivered to your lap in your seat. And great movies. Heaven.

Terrible customer service over the phone tonight when I was trying to purchase a gc for Christmas very disappointed, as I had never been to the theater and wont go in the future.

Very nice small theater. The only reason its not 5 star worthy is due to the massive amount of noise from excessive chatter...

It was ok. Food and drink are expensive. Unless you get there early for the couches, its not very comfortable.
