ABOUT

Welcome to the Plaza Theatre — Atlanta's oldest operating independent cinema! We offer an extensive slate of curated first-run programming, classic films & repertory revivals, community events with special guest and much more. We are open all year round, with operating hours being half-hour before and after normal showtimes.

We also offer theater rentals for public & private events, and offer rates of 15% off for groups 10 or larger for regular programming (please email those inquiries to info@plazaatlanta.com).

We offer a shorter preroll than many cinemas, so we encourage arriving early and on time. For updates and more, you can sign up for our newsletter (see form at footer) or follow us on Instagram, Facebook and Twitter.

Be sure to visit our sister cinema, the Tara Theatre, as our team works to restore it for generations to come.

ACCESSIBLITY

The lobby, box office, bar, concession stand, bathrooms and LeFont auditoriums are wheelchair-accessible. The LeFont includes wheelchairs in the middle / center row on the left (south) side of the auditorium. The Mike & Rej auditoriums currently require stairway access, but an elevator is in the works (the first in 85 years, due EOY 2024, permit pending). In the meantime, please don't hesitate to speak with staff if you require assistance.

All auditoriums are equipped with Assistive Devices, and are available for loan at the box office. To find out which films are captioned or compatible with these devices, please look out for showings with the following icons:

🎧 (Audio/Caption Devices), CC (Subtitles) and CC (Captioned).

We love cats, dogs and critters — but unless they're a service animal, please keep them safe at home.

Theatre Guests can now book their hotel stays at Hotel Clermont in Poncey-Highland for an exclusive 20% off Best Available Rate.

PARKING

The Plaza Theatre was the first property in all of Atlanta to have its own off-street parking and has a handful of parking options (see a visual guide below). Briarcliff Plaza is also home to many other businesses, so parking can be quite limited in our front & back lots. We also encourage rideshare, taking MARTA, riding a bike (we have racks in the back lot), or walking via the Eastside Beltline Trail (connected by John Lewis Freedom Parkway).

***PARKING IN FRONT & REAR LOTS IS FREE WITH VALIDATION! Do NOT prepay upon arrival. See inside cinema for further details.***
