What a neat theater, thjis place has sub run & arthouse fare. A bit small, 180 seats overall, with a small balcony that is 21+ for beer & wine service. There are couches on both levels that are quickly snagged up. Better yet, there is pizza service from their own resturant nexxt door. Delivery was quick with little disruption. The regular concession prices are affordable. A digital conversion was funded thru online donations. I would come back again next time in town.

The Columbiana Theatre was twinned in October 1978, but reverted back to a single-screener in the early-2000s.
