We visited Richmond from Washington, DC hoping to see historic buildings, fun places to eat and shop. We were surprised by the fact that Richmond is like a ghost town. We thought maybe it was because we were there on a Saturday but the locals told us that it is always like that. They told us Richmond is not a tourist destination.
There are a lot ...

In a class by itself.

They don't have the organ show other days of the week. This is a gem in the city of Richmond, older folk as myself can truly appreciate the turn of last century decor, the monstrous chandeleer and the detail on the walls and balconies. Brings back old memories.

We go every week
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 11/02/06
We love the ticket price just 1.99 after all these years and the refreshments are also very affordable and on top of that the popcorn is better than any other theater I have ever been too ( and that's a lot)

Super Fancy and Friendly Theatre!!!
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 08/30/07
The Byrd Theatre in Carytown in Richmond is the best movie theatre I have ever been to. A lot of times I go right after I get off Ukrops and so I go a lot in my Ukrops uniform. The staff there is very friendly!!! Its awesome to look at the fancy chandlier over the seats, hear the organ show, great prices, and see a great movie!!! It seems like a ...

Always Fun!
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 06/25/08
The Byrd theater is a great part of Richmond's history and offers a fun and inexpensive way to entertain yourself any night of the week. Although they only show one movie each week it's only $2 a show and the inside of the theater is really beautiful. Plus, if you come on a Friday night (I think...) you can also enjoy a live organist show just like if you were at one of those old time movie showings!

You have to go at least once, if not once a week

The Byrd runs movies a few weeks from when they left mainstream theaters. There's always a large crowd for the Byrd - it's a lot of fun.
The picture in this listing is seriously out-of-date. The front looks a lot better!

Great Budget Theater!
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 12/19/06
The Byrd shows current films at great prices in a neighborhood where there's not a shred of competition. I just moved to Richmond and was delighted to find this gem in my backyard, especially to see the quality of the movie prints. Many budget theaters have cruddy copies that are scratched up, blotchy, etc., but the flick I saw was clean and ...

Incredible experience!
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 04/04/08
The Byrd Theater is a magnificent place--where else can you fit a movie, popcorn and a drink into a $10 bill? It's a wonderful 1920's atmosphere, including the famous sing-a-long before the show, for our family's night out.

Byrd Theatre is Aewsome:
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 05/17/07
I moved up here from Va. Beach and greatly enjoy the Byrd Theatre. They have a friendly staff, I love how the whole theatre looks so fancy with the huge chandlier over the seats, playing of the organ, and the advertisment about litter right before each movie is very funny. They have played a lot of great movies over time but the best movie I have ...

Come one, Come all to the only affordable place in town!
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 04/15/05
The Byrd is in Carytown, an area of boutique and alternative/ vintage shops and small restaurants and is the closest thing Richmond has to an "Arts District". The theater works well in its neighborhood, especially the Saturday Midnight Movies that tend to be cult classics (Rocky Horror Picture Show, Goonies) and, because it is just about ...
