Next door at 5614 Connecticut Ave. #291 NW Washington, DC 20015 Is J Allen and Andrea Mason Designers from Perceptions Interiors LLC This are 2 crooked persons who likes to scam many contractors be careful, they hire contractors and don't pay them, some how they have master a very sneaky way to kick them out of the jobs when the contractors are 99 percent completed, If you don't want to have a big problem with any unhappy mad contractor do not hire this professional thief.... I am speechless about how bad is this lady.. They also do a lot of bad business in West Chester PA and Philadelphia...

Piotr Kulczakowicz

Great movie theater to see interesting and perhaps not mainstream movies

Karl Amundson

Very cool old movie theater that operates as a non profit. The movies shown seem to be a lot more diverse than the regular Hollywood and Marvel stuff that's everywhere now.

Alexis Taylor

Sharon Ramirez

Nice vintage theater. I hear they tend to run more "artsy" films. Wierd bathroom rules about movie patrons using the bathroom in a cage that is attached to the theater

This movie theatre shows movies that you would not see anywhere else. There is a nice caffe in the lobby, however the auditorium is old, dumpy and smelly. It needs remodeling.

Great neighborhood cinema. 3rd Thursday morning for senior (sometimes with closed caption), a foreign film every Wednesday evening and top movies all the time. Love my neighborhood cinema.

Well selected films. Renovated historic theater built in the early 1920's. More renovations will be made by the end of 2019 which will make an enjoyable location to watch good films that much better.

The Avalon Theater is a very intimate venue and the acoustics are very good. Every seat in the venue is a comfortable seat like soft and The staff, the venue, and the acoustics are all excellent.

Justin Shaw

Quaint atmosphere. Real old time movie palace!

Jeannine Clark

The movie was wonderful for Downton Abbey fans, the theatre lovely and comfortable but the popcorn awful

Lee Dante

I went to this theater regularly 60 years ago and it's pleasing that it's still much the same although they walled off the balcony to make offices. The balcony was great for dates. Sadly, even nostalgia isn't what it used to be.

The nostalgic Avalon gives us feeling of coziness and privacy to watch the best movies of month.

Adi Abel

We enjoy going to this movie theater, lots of character to the place.

John Crotts

Has very good movies. The kind of movies which are typically not shown in the suburbs.

Sheila Lo Monaco

The Avalon Theater is the oldest theater in the NW DC area. It offers first-run studio films, independent and foreign films, film festivals, a weekly Wednesday night series, and special programs for students, families, and seniors. They will rent for events my daughter had a wonderful time here at a friend birthday party. I enjoyed movies from Germany and the Czech Republic. The chairs are comfortable enough. The theater is clean and the staff is friendly welcoming. Tons of street parking

Woodrow Boon

My girlfriend and I watched this movie with Jennifer Lawrence and Bradley Cooper, Silver Linings something. She liked the movie, I definitely liked the cinema - comfy seats, no popcorn all over the floor, good location (or at least for us), good prices.

Angela Mariscal

A DC classic. We love it. My dream theater

R T

Great! Nice big screen. They serve wine, beer, coffee and ice cream etc. in addition to popcorn and sodas.

Tracey Filar Atwood

We love this beautiful, old, non-profit movie theater. The cafe in front is not fancy, but is a convenient place to grab a snack before a show. Be sure to admire the painted ceiling in the larger of the two theaters on the premises.

BEST CINEMA IN TOWN! The only not-for-profit in DC, great little café on the premises where you can order a latte or a white wine. A neighborhood institution playing first release and foreign movies. See you there!

Emy Dillon

Kevin Walsh

Delightful neighborhood theater with friendly staff.

Maria-Cristina Maass

Always an amazing place.I teach a French cinema class and have discovered some of the best films I use for the class at Avalon. Fast ,courteous service.Wish the café offered more healthy meal choices: Salads in the Summers and warm soups in the Winter.

Crystal Parmele

Saw a fantastic movie "Loving Vincent"

Edward Spector

Been here many times. Small theater that focuses on arty flicks. Great milkshake, comfortable seats.

Sammy Fries

Friendly, vintage theater with, Indy curated films and community screenings. I love the charm of this theatre and the accessibility for watching smaller released movies in the friendship heights / chevy chase area. I refrain from 5 stars as I don't always have interest with the films they screen. I believe they have a committee so I suppose it is my own fault but I am not too invested. Definitely worth checking out.

I went there to watch the movie of van gogh, the theatre is really awesome, is perfect to this kind of movies. everyone should go to a classic theatre like this.

Cara Fulton

What a cinema should be.

I love this historical theatre. They have a diverse, interesting and not-so-mainstream selection of movies. I specially like the Wednesdays features like the French Cinematèque, Lions of Czech Films, Avalon Docs.

Margaret Morgan-Hubbard

Michael Bishton

The Avalon Theatre is a labor of love for those who keep it running and see it's very interesting selection of movies. It is a gorgeous old fashioned theater that is a little worn around the edges but had a friendly vibe to it because it truly is a community theatre with a nice snack place to sit with your friends and enjoy an aperitif before the show.

Ryan Haber

Good atmosphere and WiFi. The menu is a bit limited.

paul sieving

Great films. Pleasant environment. Just like the old times.

Michaele Weissman

I love the Avalon, Washington's only non profit movie theater. It's cozy, like a welcoming club..only everyone is welcome, and it shows the kind of movies smart people want to see.

The movies are few, the food is expensive but it is good.

Gilbert Raiford

This is a non profit neighborhood movie theater. It is very comfortable and serves food. It is close to a post office, a supermarket, and a drugstore. The staff is friendly. The admission to price is right.

Pj Smith

Luz Montanez

Very old school classic theater but the bathroom for women is small.

Kathy Torres

Pamila Gray

Wonderful historic theater, films with that something more than big blockbusters, and a charming cafe in the lobby. Seats a little uncomfortable is my only negative.

Michael Habermann

Peacherine Ragtime Society Orchestra at the Avalon was fantastic. Classic silent movies with music provided by Peacherine was amazing.

Przemek Klosowski

Arthouse movie theater---we've been to many great movies here.

Katherine García

It's like a very classy theater. They show a limited number of movies, two or three.

Avalon is a DC gem.

Yordanos Asrat

K.C. Russell

I've been looking forward to seeing A Quiet Passion, but just learned that closed captioning is not offered...very disappointing!

David Woodhead

We thoroughly enjoyed, "Loving Vincent", about the troubled genius. While the large theater is comfortable, more space in the Men's Room would be a wonderful thing.

Walter Teague

Classic old theater.

Elliott Hays

Awesome classic theater that deserves everyone's patronage.

Michael Smith

Run down could use qb upgrade.

Laura Neal

Dahi Was Here

Great place to watch plays or more movies. Snack bar was closed when I went.

Mazen Elkurd

A beautiful throw-back to a different era. As soon as you walk in the theater it feels as if you've stepped back decades into the past with beautiful vintage decor throughout the facility. The movie selections are quite limited but if they happen to be playing something you're into I would definitely give it a go.

Daniela Garcia Romero

Great service and movies even if they are independent. Great experience there!

Daniel Julius Markus

Fabulous old world theatre.

Dan Fernandez

morgan gale

Awesome experience and very helpful staff.

Arnold Thomas Bigger

Bobbie Hodges

Landmark neighborhood theater nicely restored. Handicap accessible. Good movie options.

Johnny Utah

Lovely historic theater. There's a little "Cafe" attached, but it's really more of a concession stand. The downstairs theater is very large compared to most modern theaters, with comfortable seats. Ladies room is very small; it's hard to get out of the stalls when someone is coming in the door. But you're not going to be spending all of your time in the bathroom anyway, are you?
