Great View; Fun Atmosphere

  • March 9, 2008

This was the first time I went to the Warren. We sat in the balcony and had a great view of the screen. The love-seats and tables on the balcony are great and the service is really good, too. I like that you can put the arm-rests up on the seats, which is always a plus. The screen was really big, clear, and easy to see. The menu is good and there is a large selection to choose from. Definitely recommend this theater!

Warren Theatre

The Warren Theater makes the most of the movie going experience. Going all out with the decor, the Warren aims to give you the experience of going to the movies in the 1930's and 1940's with an art deco scheme, its very own malt shop (west location) or diner (east loaction), and uniformed staff with brass buttons. Not to be out done, the restrooms at the new east location has a waiting lounge complete with couches and a real fire in the fireplace, while the restrooms (at least the women's) have a vanity area and at least 30-40 toilets.

Of course the technology is 21st century with Digital surround sound and some theatres with stadium seating and curved screens. In all of the theaters the seats are red plush with high backs that lean back. This makes both for comfortable movie watching and avoids the scenario of having to lean left or right to see around the tall person in front of you. There is also so much leg room between rows that you don't have to squish in order for people to get up and out of the rows. Everything is run very professionally. The curtains are drawn up from in front of the enormous screens before the show begins and the only ads are movie previews (no made-for-movie-screen commericals that have taken the Odeon movie chain by storm).

Tickets are $5 for matinees (begins before 6pm) and $6.50 afterward. Showtimes can be found in the paper or by calling the theater at (316) 773-3232. There is also a drive-up ticket machine and ATM for ticket purchasing out-of-hours.

The Warren Theatre's west location is easily found on west 21st street. The east location can quickly be reached on the northeast expressway (Kansas highway 96) at the 13th street exit. There will also be a location in Old Town opening sometime within the next year or so.
