Vine Cinema & Alehouse

Wonderful old style theater. Friendly, family run. Food & drink order brought to you. Regular seats have more support than soft loveseats.

The independant theater has been operating in Livermore for nearly 60 years. When you enter the lobby, you can feel how much the managers/owners love movies. As my daughter would say, the Vibes are immaculate.

My favorite theater in the tri-valley! The Vine has a warm and cozy atmosphere and wonderful employees. It is a pre-multiplex theater, has only 2 screens, and no assigned seating, but that is all part of its charm. My husband and I go frequently and have never had a bad experience. I love the bistro tables and couches in the theater. The bathrooms are always pristine, and the crowds of moviegoers tend to have a happy/good energy. Thursday nights are classics nights and have played films like Casablanca, Back to the Future, North by Northwest, Grease, White Christmas, and more. I highly recommend for any movie going experience: alone, on a date, with friends/ family and/or with kids (my daughter always gets a thrill at the old-fashioned marquee).

When I rented my latest apartment, I made sure it was close enough that I could walk to Vine cinema. 7 years later I still love going to this cinema. The prices are good, they serve a selection of beer and wine and have the tastiest walnut cranberry salad in town. Oh, and the movies are good too!

Absolutely choice movie haven. Loved it since 1986, but it's been around much longer than that. Great food, drink and atmosphere. Tops.
