| - I've lived in Pittsburgh--in the East End, no less--for nearly two years and only just made it to the Regent Square Theater.
Self, what were you thinking?!
The theater is pretty low-tech, compared to the multiplexes that have become the norm. You buy your ticket from an actual person, who promptly rips it and gives you the stub. The concessions stand is less than ten yards away, and the actual theater is just behind that. You won't find stadium seating or built-in cup holders into the seats.
So what makes the Regent Square Theater so awesome? The low ticket prices, which are even lower, at $3, if you're a Pitt student. The concession stand which charges reasonable prices. I don't think any one item costs $5 or more. You can add seasonings to your popcorn like Old Bay, Cajun and Ranch, and even have a cup of tea. There's a generous amount of leg room between the theater seats. And, yes, of course, the film selection--what plays here isn't at the AMC theaters.
You can treat yourself to some culture and snacks here for less money than you'd pay catching a mainstream flick at the Waterfront or SouthSide. There's really no excuse for not coming here.
