The Academy Theater

Brand-new 1940s retro theater pub

  • Babysitting available
  • Brand new theater
  • Microbrews

Originally launched in 1948, the Academy Theater was a popular Montavilla destination until its closure in the 1970s. Over the following years, it fell into disrepair, but a full-scale $1m renovation was completed in 2006, including careful restoration of the glittering rounded lobby with its soaring, metallic two-story dome. Great attention was paid to every detail of the project. Using vintage photos from the original opening night, even the theater's signature marquee has been recreated to imbue the building with authentic 1940s charm.

They also have babysitting for children 6mos to 7yrs! Call ahead and reserve.
