The Kiggins owners treated the previous renters/operators rather shabbily and then ran them out before doing the restorations. Since then, the prices have gone up and many of the movies are either non-kid-friendly or unwatchable. The worst part is that they now sell beer and wine, which is a bit scary if you want to take kids there. Positives: The new seating is very comfortable and nice. We have enjoyed an occasional event there, including a screening of "Its a Wonderful Life," which (surprisingly to me) was very much better than watching it on television. Somehow, they seem to attract more people than the old operation even though the price is higher, so they must be doing something right (is it the beer/wine?).

This place has definitely "moved that bus" for an extreme makeover! Before, the overall theater was sketchy and run down. I was actually glad to hear it closed down. Now though, the entire interior got a face-lift. They re painted everything & added a cool lounge upstairs to enjoy cocktails before or after the show! They installed new comfy seats with a lot of leg room but kept the rest of the old theaters architecture for a blast from the past feeling. The sound could definitely use a tune-up and the movie was too big for the screen but I still enjoyed it. A great place for a cheap family night out!

Kiggins is ROCKING the remodel! Plus, you can have your drinks in the theater now! Its a very relaxed viewing experience and the seats are comfortable. The old theater has a lot of charm and you never have to sit close to anyone that you dont want to. Also, they keep a fast rotation on movies, so there is always something new to check out. OH and the popcorn and goodies are reasonable, unlike the normal theater scam. They run Rocky Horror Picture show every 4th Friday. I really enjoy the new line up!

This place is a Jem. An old school single screen theater with a huge historical significance. The prices are usually a little less than the big theaters and they often show independent films. They also do several community events, often with free admission. The marque bar is a quaint art deco style lounge with a few beers and always one cider. It also offers wine. Everything is kept true to the origins of the theater except the updated seats, which are far more comfortable than there predecessors.

Super excited to see this place re-opened. A little piece of history is a great thing to keep around. The inside is much cleaner and the seats are now comfy. Still has the old time feeling and keeping a low price for tickets is a plus. The movies are hit and miss, but for a family of three we only spent 22 bucks for tickets, small popcorn and three drinks. Dont care what the movie is, thats cheap for a night out.

Great location in the heart of Downtown Vancouver. The Kiggins Theatre had beer and wine upstairs and great updated seating. Its a comfortable place to enjoy a beer and a movie or if you like Science, swing by on the second wednesday of the month for Science on tap. The late night showing of Rocky Horror picture show is also worth checking out. Great old theater, glad to see something like this doing well.

We Love Kiggins! It real is a treasure! New owner/oper. Has done a great job renovating it. Downtown Vancouver has destroyed most of its history with the most recent loss of the classic Burgerville, the small grocery store that everybody remembers getting candy at, (that was right near kiggins) and of course the loss of the lucky lager Brewery ! Kiggins is the last piece of history in Vancouver

A fun throwback theater that plays tons of unique stuff that you wont see played in other theaters. They serve beer on the second floor and you can bring it into the theater and have a nice buzz while you watch. Tons of candy you will remember from your childhood, I got a strip of four or five Zotz (fizzy candy) for a quarter. Made me feel like a kid again. Go and have a great time.

Awesome retro place...very comfortable seating and reasonable admission/popcorn prices. They make absolutely the best popcorn I have experienced in my life (and it has been a long one). Upstairs lounge is very edgy and cool....place reminds me of San Francisco Mission Street Crown Theater where I was an usher in 60s back when it was in its heyday. Love this place!!!

Love Kiggins. Its a historic get in the middle of downtown Vancouver, the only place on this side of the river where you stand a chance to catch any indie/non-mainstream films. Where else would you have the chance to drink a local beer while watching a classic film on the big screen in a historic venue?

Remodeled theater gives you a comfortable seat at a budget price. They also offer beer and wine. Great night out. Just keep an eye on their website or subscribe to get notifications about the shows they get. If you like Anime, they are a good source of shows.

I love the Kiggins! Prices are reasonable, theres a great variety of concessions (including a number of adult beverages, if thats your style), and they choose interesting films you might not be able to find elsewhere. Cant recommend it highly enough. :)

Old school theater, stadium seating (great view of screen from any seat,) vintage candy/concession options, friendly service. Movie screen is a bit smaller than other theaters, but you hardly notice after a while. Cozy fun vintage movie experience.

Nostalgia abounds in this lovely vintage movie parlor. The seats are modern but they dont clash for some reason. The projector is bright and the sound is big and dimensional. Serving beer and wine in a real glass is a nice treat. Ill be back.

I grew up going to this theater. The new owners have done wonders with keeping the old and bringing in the new. Its an amazing place. Its a theater you can watch a movie and buy a beer. Just go you wont regret it. Hollie

I absolutely love the Kiggins! Awesome huge theater with fun movies - perfect for Rocky Horror Picture Show sort of audience participation. So cool to see a slice of downtown Vancouvers past being preserved.

Vintage doesnt get better than this. Enjoy an old classic in a theater that fully enhances the experience. Oh, but it does have one of those fancy wancy sound systems. And great popcorn!

Great old fashioned theatre showing older classics, art house types of films, worldwide cinema, etc. Great staff. Cozy lil wine and?beer lounge upstairs. New seats and digital upgrades.

This is my favorite place to see movies in the Vancouver area. It has a fun interior if you like historic theaters. They have a good selection of Indy films.

Stephanie Roberts

This theater has been lovingly restored with comfortable seats and digital projection, making it a wonderful place to catch the latest independant releases.

Very quaint little Theatre. Comfortable seats, good sound system. Great Popcorn and you can gave a beer in the Theater. Will definitely be going back.

The renovation is really impressive and they run some fairly off mainstream stuff especially for Vancouver. Prices on concessions are reasonable too!

Absolutely wonderful establishment! Prices are responsible and the staff was very polite. Would highly recommend venturing downtown to check it out!
