Whats great about the Downer is that it offers a more classical way to view movies in the heart of Milwaukee. Youre able to watch more artistic movies which arent shown at other more blockbuster oriented theaters. In addition, the staff is all very friendly and welcoming which makes the viewing experience even more enjoyable. Another plus is that if youre hoping to go out for dinner before or after your meal there are tons of amazing restaurants all around in the area. All in all, this is a great theater with a lot of charm and heart.

Always has a very good selection of thoughtful, provoking, intelligent films. Seats are OK. Generally a nice-sized audience that knows how to enjoy good film - lots of laughter, but not disruptive. Seats OK. We love the Downer. Without a doubt, the BEST FRESH BUTTERED POPCORN IN MILWAUKEE!

This is a small classic Theater. Its quant and cute and plays very artistic films. The film festival is definitely an experience and the crowds can be huge for big premiers. What a gem on Milwaukees East Side.

Wonderful movie selection in a comfortable, familiar environment. Classic, casual styling in a great location. Im a fan of regular seating styles without having to pick seats before I get into the theater.

A great old theater on the east side to see independent films. However there are only two theaters. It is not as scenic as the Oriental but it is more low key if thats what youre looking for.

I love old time theaters. Brings me back to my youth when most theaters were single venues. The ornate interiors and quaintness of older buildings is becoming a lost venue.

Great atmosphere and there are many restaurants within walking distance making this a very good dinner and a movie date night location

Personally I enjoy visiting this theater over the Milwaukee Disney one because parking is easier and prices are cheaper.

This is a grand old movie house, now in its 90th year. If you love movies, this is a place you want to go.
