Rose Theatre (1907)

The Rose Theatre is a family-owned, beautifully restored 1907 movie house in downtown Port Townsend, Washington, and reviewers rate it among their favorite movie experiences anywhere. Upstairs, the Starlight Lounge is a 21-and-over auditorium with a full bar, food from a partner cafe, and Victorian sofas under chandeliers. Even the popcorn is a treat, with a popcorn spice bar where you can add Parmesan, garlic or curry. Each film gets a short introduction, which adds to the old-time feel. Tickets for popular shows sell out, so buy ahead online. Plenty of restaurants are right outside the door if you want dinner first.
