Best Outdoor Movie Theater Oakland Near Me

4worldlovers:

The New Parkway Theater offers free evening activities every day of the week on our Mezzanine in the café. Join us for good food, good drink, and a good dose of community. All ages are welcome.

They need to have theaters like this in every city! Wish there were places like this in Los Angeles and all over. Way to go, New Parkway. I hope they branch out.

I literally just returned from this theatre and my enthusiasm can barely contain itself. As someone who went to school for film/currently works in film, I applaud anything that reinforces the magic and communal experience of going to the movies.

Truly a unique experience! After visiting The New Parkway for the first time last weekend, my boyfriend and I decided this is the only theater we will go to when we see movies.


This is definitely Oakland's best-kept secret, and probably my new favorite getaway.


Stellar. Comfy. Delicious. Real. This makes me never want to enter a mainstream movie theatre again.

4worldlovers: 3 Screens, DLP Digital Projection and Sound. Landmark's Piedmont Theatre offers an eclectic mix of independent, art-house and Hollywood fare. Features luxury leather seating and a variety of concession items.


3 Screens, DLP Digital Projection and Sound. Operated by Landmark since 1994. The oldest operating movie theatre in the city of Oakland, the Piedmont Theatre opened its doors on September 15, 1917. From its earliest days showing silent films through the studio era (including memorable runs of Jaws and Star Wars in the 1970s) to today's eclectic mix of independent, art-house, and Hollywood fare, the Piedmont has long been a mainstay of the community.

In 2010, the Piedmont Theatre completed a remodeling, returning the vintage theatre to its original grandeur. The remodeling includes modern amenities such as leather theatre seating and upgrades in the lobby and concessions.

During your visit, be sure to stroll the friendly Piedmont Avenue neighborhood, visit the shops, and dine at one of the many fine restaurants.

PARKING: Available on surrounding neighborhood streets where meters run from 8 AM to 6 PM Monday to Saturday.
