Lack of empathy

September 09, 2024

I feel so displeased that your staff can't accommodate a pitcher of water. I don't mind paying. Just be accommodating. There should be no reason that anyone can't have anything outside legal litigations. Do better.

More than just a Movie, A n Experience

February 14, 2023

Our favorite date night movie theatre. Tickets are priced fairly. We like their combination sandwich. Staff are always friendly and Fred, the owner, goes out of his way to please patrons. More than once we have stood out in the cold waiting to get in and he’s allowed us to come in early and sit until the box office opens. Love this movie venue. It’s so beautifully restored and has such a rich history.

Classy venue to enjoy a movie!

August 26, 2022

Great venue to watch a movie. Best sound system in the area. Ignore the few haters. If you know Portsmouth you understand who they are. I've been going to the Commodore for 30 years and never had a bad experience.

Prices are outrageous for the venue. $2.95 for a soda and $2.95 for a refill!

August 06, 2022

Food not worth the cost. Watery spinach, artichoke dip. A .50 cent charge because we had 2 checks for our table. Disgusting toilets. Drink prices ridiculous. $9.00 for 3 soda’s. Food plates left on the table for 2 and a half hours.

Great Experience - Beautiful, Restored Theater

November 09, 2021

The Commodore is a great experience! They offer movie only seating and dinner seating where you're seated at a table for the length of the movie.

Old time movie screen experience with modern table service

July 24, 2017

The sound and wide screen experience simply cannot be matched. Show up early to spend some time looking around and enjoying the atmosphere. The food, delivered to your table, is reasonably priced and tastes good. The sandwiches, nachos with beef bbq, and frozen pies are hits with our family.
