My movie theater experiences have only involved two or three story buildings, expansive concession stands on each floor, more than six ticket windows, and at least twenty auditoriums.
"Oh, look at you. You've been living the high and fancy life!" you mentally exclaim.
Well, no. I've been fortunate enough to live a solidly middle class life, and my community just so happened to have only "high and fancy" theaters. Mind you, these theaters did not always have first-class people and first-class service. In essentially every other movie outing or two would be slovenly adults that make my eyes and nose cringe, rude teenagers with the penchant for adding their own obnoxious commentaries during the movie, and crying babies whose screech can overpower the loudest of sound effects of the movie.
Manor Theatre is a very welcome reprieve from the faux-luxury theaters. I echo the previous reviewers' comments on the positive aspects of the theatre: the types of movies they show, the comfy seats, and the all-important full bar. I am just going add my two cents about its service. The ushers have always been respectful, quick, creative, and courteous in all the times I've been here. When the theatre (accidentally?) oversold a showing of The Grand Budapest Hotel, my friends and I had thought we were going to stand for the entire movie. The ushers quickly realized the trouble and pulled in chairs from the full-bar area to accommodate us and the others. I was impressed. They did not even roll their eyes or raise their voices (except to announce updates to the standers on the what they were going to do to accommodate us all).
I have had a really great experience here. It really is a gem in Squirrel Hill.
