Janice Renee Griffin

Love their area for the ones who have walkers or powerchairs or wheelchairs it's soon nice also its easy to watch a movie from that area thank u so much for providing a place like that for us out here

Angela Lee

Clean environment and good quality sounds and picture. Priced too high and seats could be more comfortable if they were a little wider and reclined a little.

Macy Halladay

Great theater. the bar is especially dysfunctional

phatvirgo

Beautiful and nice all the way. Comfortable seating.

Jonah Duran

Glad to see that they have implemented reserved seating.

Jeff G

This is my favorite theater. I drive all the way from Gatlinburg to see 3D movies here. I always come to the latest showings so there's no traffic and parking is easy. Just saw Avengers Endgame in 3D and it was very much worth the drive!

Courtney Jones

Probably my favorite theater in Knoxville. Always clean, nice employees. They have also started doing reserved seating for some of their big movies on opening weekend, which I really like.

Decepticon Rob

Went to see the the movie US and it was great...the audience made it more enjoyable.

Isaiah Rodriguez

Great service as in the ticket master was very nice. The cashiers who made the popcorn and got us our drinks were smiling and looked genuinely happy. The movie experience was amazing to not to cold but not hot either. Overall great experience.

Being a Regal the seats are reasonably comfortable and the audio visual is always on point. But being a Regal the prices are to high for an aging theater. There are other local theaters that are more comfortable for a better price.

Carlton Greene

This theater makes me imagine going to a show in the old days, if only because it is located on downtown Gay Street. It blends beautifully into the building and offers abundant seating, state of the art projectors and all of the latest feature films. The popcorn is always fresh and delicious, the sodas are always ice cold, and the other snack options are satisfying. If you love movies, architecture, and a touch of class, this theater experience is for you.

Lynne Ewing

Alway's clean and wonderful Custumer service!

Jacob Mode

I tried to pre-order tickets on the regal app and it didn't work, so I tried the regular website and that did not work either...Then I found out they charged my card 4 times and still did not give me my tickets or any email about the transaction details. I tried to call them 6 times to get a refund and ask about the situation and no one would answer. After that headache I just went on Fandango and ordered the tickets no problem at all...

Aimee G

First time to downtown one, loved it! Clean...

Jonathan Moore

Decided to go see John Wick 3. The theater is under new ownership and maybe management. The place was clean, the staff was friendly, the bartender was cute, lol. It doesn't have all the amenities of done AMC theaters, but I will be going back.

Christina Drawdy

It's nice but the prices are very high. Prepare to get searched before you go in (after you've bought your ticket of course) and slightly violated by a young man and his flashlight. Am I bitter? Yup. Will I go back? Probably not.

Steve Cook

Very nice theater. Also, First Man is a great movie. When it was over, one of my friends commented that he felt as if he had made the trip to the moon.

Kirstyn

Very clean and accommodating theatre with nearby garage parking and in a great location! Late nights and weekends matinees come complete with friendly atmosphere.

NOOTnoot

Not the best movie theater. Subpar employees, but it's a movie theater so you shouldn't have to worry about that for too long.

Jean Watrous

Very nice staff but seats to close to the ones in front of then no leg room

Karla Browning

First time at this Regal Cinema and I was very impressed! They have an indoor bar area. Their food menu is great. Their stadium seating was great too! It was a clean facility as well. Will def go back.

Ajerico Brown

Best movie theater in Knoxville. Theaters and restrooms are always clean. Never had an issue.

Meghan B

Good movie theater. Sometimes a little understaffed for how busy it gets

Corey Korpela

All kiosks are down. Sign says to purchase tickets at concessions. Line out the door and only 2 employees working.

Freddy Stooksbury

Nice place but you have to park in a pay parking lot so in addition to ticket price add another $6 for 2 hr parking

Patrick Nalle

Nice theater. Wish they had larger screens for IMAX and what not.

Vovix Vixen

It's a great family cinema but smaller than others but my family loves going their just needs better parking

Worlds Apartt

This theatre has a great staff, service, and bar.

Matt and MB Gosnell

This facility was clean and the staff were friendly but it is way to expensive! It cost over $27 for two small popcorns and drinks... really?!? That's absolutely ridiculous! I can go to other theaters just as nice for much cheaper! The popcorn was burnt and stale as well. If I had not of had a gift card I would not have even went this time. I do not understand how they can charge so much for things that cost pennies on the dollar to make. It's very upsetting that it is not more family budget friendly.

Little Bear Renée Matin

An enjoyable experience. The seats are very comfortable.

Michael Aceves

Such an awesome experience every time I go watch a movie!

Jeri sutton

This is my all time favorite movie theater (besides the Tennessee Theater down the street which has lots of live shows as well as movies). The seats here are comfortable and you can see good from each. The snack bar has all you need. Great theater.

C.S. Pipkin

Endgame....opening night....nuff said

Darleen Patterson

VERY NICE THEATER

Rachael Ann

Nice movie theater.

Shanna Hillsman

Great sound, large screens, comfortable seating and very clean.

iAm Shawty Poppin

Went To See Captain Marvel With My Guy. Ws Enjoyed The Movie And Theater Itself And Will Be Back Again. No Cap We Plan To See Alot More Movies This Year And This Is Our Go To Place

Elisa Carmichael

Great selection of movies with the feel of a small, hometown theater

Lauren Taylor

All commercials before the movies are excessively loud. I could barely even think. These aren’t even the previews, just bs like gieco and phone services.

a Wolfe fishing

Pretty expensive but movie quality and concessions were excellent. Biggest complaint was the people. Everyone was on autopilot and not one person acknowledged my thanking them for their service. #mannerspeople

Rouge pillowcase

It was an amazing theater and i would most definitely got there again.

Sade Mattress

Very clean and the workers are nice

Kaylee Mccann

I love the view and the old school walk up theater where you buy your tickets outside at the pay box. And enjoy an adventure without getting on plane.

M R

My husband and I enjoy dates here. It's nice to eat at Nama next door and walk down to market square.

Allen Walker

Awesome downtown location with helpful and friendly staff

love joy

My favorite theater in town. Chairs are comfortable, clean bathrooms & person at ticket booth was very kind.

Charlie Brown

All around best place to catch a movie. Mixed drinks can be a bit pricey, I would suggest sticking with draft beers. Great movie screens and wide variety of popular films. Validated/free parking in all the city owned garages with ticket stub for up to 3 hours. (Parking is closest at State Street garage on State Street. Walkway access is on level 3. There is also an elevator.) There are automated ticket machines in the lobby as well if there are long lines at the box office.

Alejandro Fuenmayor

This is a wonderful movie theater that hits all the notes you want. Clean, great service, big enough to host enough showings. The staff is wonderful, super friendly and attentive. From the ticket counter to the concession stand, everyone smiles and makes you feel welcome. The auditoriums are fairly big, with the chairs being fairly comfortable as well. The screens and audio are what you'd expect from a great modern theater. All this combined make Regal Cinemas Riviera 8 the perfect spot for a night out at the movies.

Amanda Reid

i've never had a bad experience here. This is the only movie theater I go to

Trena Cable

Always a great experience. Great destination for downtown Knoxville. They're also selling adult beverages now.

Jamie Kennedy

Great theater! Always clean. Friendly staff. Good variety of food that’s not too expensive for a theater.

J M Edwards

Nice theater. It has stadium seating but does not have the comfy, reclining seats that some of the other area theaters have. Alcohol is available. They will validate your parking ticket for the State Street garage.

Nathan Flanary

Love this theater. It feels like an old theater still but with the modern tech added.

jr henriquez

Beautiful and clean. Do recommend.

Anna Kimsey

This is probably my favorite theatre in Knoxville. Its location is what sets it apart, though - inside, it's just a normal Regal Theatre. The only reason I take off a star is because it is incredibly over-priced: $10 dollars for a matinee ticket, and refreshments bring the bill up to around $20 per person.

Rebecca Lauderdale

Love this place its never really overcrowded and they have a bar!

Carol

Was not happy with our experience here! I was with a friend and her handicap daughter that lives in a wheelchair. Regal in the past has allowed the handicap person in free in a wheelchair, and only charged for the mother. My friend was informed that they had never let the wheelchair person in free that they let their caregiver in free,and that doesn’t apply to a mother it would only apply to a caregiver that is escorting from a facility and has a facility identification. BAD decision Regal! I also paid over $23 dollars for a large pop corn one large coke and a large water, that is totally ridiculous!!! Such a shame you have made a movie experience to only allow wealthy people to participate. I am not happy with your cost, your changes in treatment of wheelchair people , I will try to go to another theater on my next trip to the movies, NOT REGAL!!!! I must say this happened at Turkey Creek REGAL Knoxville, not at Gay Street , I don’t know why Google Maps put the wrong address on here!!!

Richard Chesney

Excellent place to see a movie and hang out downtown.

Sharon McDaniel

Love the layout and have very comfortable seating arrangements. Movies are clear to view and the restrooms were very clean too.

DeWayne Hensley

Great customer service lastnight by staff. Clean restroom & clean theater. Joker, great movie. DeWayne

Colby Musser

Regal was kind enough to let me come in and take really cute pictures of my daughter who's not ready to go to the movies my mom is still wanted pictures of her and a Captain Marvel outfits

Kevin Blue

I like going to this theater. It really adds to the downtown area.

Dessiree Ankeny

Really love this theater the staff is always super friendly and helpful. They have a drink bar(alcohol) and lots of great food and snack choices. The establishment is always kept clean.

Philistia Glenn

I like the theater . The cost for food & beverages are rather high. But the venue is clean, movies show & sound great.I even like the seating for plus sized people & wheelchair access. Lobby people are nice. Concession workers could be more customer friendly, speak, make eye contact, maybe smile,etc.

Mary Mount

Our favorite place to watch a movie. It's clean, comfortable and they're employees are nice. The popcorn and drinks are expensive (like they are at every theater), but they aim to please.

Allison Bilbo

Beautiful venue! And funny movie!!

B Hu

Nice, clean, well staffed, parking nearby, but wasn't free. Popcorn and drink cost the same as any other cinema. I would go there again.

first name last

My favorite one in Knoxville. The seats are comfortable. They recline a little.

Tyler Bird

Out of all the regal cinemas in town, this seems to be the most affordable. Also... I like how you don’t have to reserve seats like Cinnebarre.

matthew stewart

Nice people, nice theater's, and awesome movies.

Leslie Butler

Took.to long to get tickets had to get at consessions and few people working and messing orders and tickets up

Chris Huddleston

No one at guest services to help me with my questions and once I did find an employee, they were rude and not helpful. The person I did speak to was very dismissive and never answered my questions, nor gave me other options. Guess this is par for the course with no other movie theater options downtown. I recommend any other theater in Knoxville or Maryville.

Jennifer Fernandez

They need to update their theaters. Only went here because of gift card and location. Miss reclining seats that are big and comfy. Screen seemed smaller than most to.

Devon Williford

No reclining seats but an amazing experience overall!

Cynthia Jeffers

Lately they have not had a chance to get a new movie that appear to see s a . movie worth watching for a 66 year's old person

jules w

Same review as always. Great movie but no employees. I couldn't find anyone in the lobby or concession area.

William Howard

sell tickets at the box office not the concession stand Regal what a fail

Ethan Vanoye

My go to to see movies. Very clean with great staff. Only had an issue with sound quality once and the management gave everyone in the theater a voucher for another movie. The issue has since been fixed.

Sherry Clay

Wow! What an experience! They have reclining seats and someone comes right to your chair and takes your food and drink order from a full menu that includes favorites like candy and popcorn! It was so weird but so cool at the same time. We got popcorn, and donut holes with dipping sauce and honestly the best wings I have ever had in my life!! I'm going here for all my movies from now on.

Tiffany O'Donnell

Nice theater! Clean... In the heart of downtown.

Emily Marsh

Beautiful theater located in downtown Knoxville.

Chris Karvonen

Great place to watch the latest, in 3D or standard, with decent food and even alcohol beverages.
