We have been a few times and most recently saw “When Harry Met Sally” on the big screen. We had a great time. Screen is big, seats and booths are comfortable, acoustics are great!

You can either sit at cozy tables or in cinema like seats.
It's BYOB and the food selection is minimal. There is no table service either. Parking can be challenging and the box office has limited hours. Nevertheless, this is a great venue for an evening of interesting entertainment. read less

The staff is friendly, and their ticketing has improved from when the venue first opened. The line-up is varied and appealing, the movies offered are both offbeat and popular as are their special projects. The biggest downside of the place is the food - absolutely pathetic! Oriented as a movie theater snack menu with additional upscale light food offerings, the availability of items is sporadic. I have never been there without having to make a 2nd or 3rd selection because they have "run out" of items. And more importantly, the quality of the food preparation is abysmal! They manage to ruin a plain hot dog more than any other place in the Western Hemisphere!

Make an afternoon/evening of it--take a walk through the Sourland Preserve, drive through the local countryside and visit historic sites like the Stoutsburg Sourland African American Museum and Cemetery, and have a pre-show dinner at one of several restaurants in town. read less

As soon as we saw Tom Rush was performing, we snagged the tickets and blocked off the date. What a marvelous little facility only an hour from our home.
Tom Rush was magnificent, as he was in the late 60s when we first saw him. But the true surprise and delight was the theatre. The acoustics were fantastic, and there is not a bad seat in the house. We opted for not having dinner there but it looked as though the folks who did thoroughly enjoyed it. The prices for drinks and snacks were reasonable.
We are on the mailing list now and will get out there to the Hopewell Theatre again and again. More read less

Parking is simple and free on the street right around the venue (there is plenty). The staff is super friendly, and the facility is perfect for sit down live music. The main level has about 140 seats, about 100 of which are around tables, the other 40 at the back are more traditional fold down theater seats but they have a ledge in front for drinks and food. I walked around and the view from every seat was great. They are BYOB and sell snacks, water, and some other food items. I didn't eat so I can't really comment in the food choices.

I have seen movies here but my favorite is the live music that comes here. Folk musicians have been very entertaining. There are drinks, light food choices and snacks available at the concession stand.

All production values are top notch, geared to audience experience--from seating options and "theater environmentals" to food choices and, of course, to the mind-and spirit-expanding schedule of creative work being made available to us. read less

The small space always makes for a great view. Yes, the shows are sometimes a bit weird - sometimes in a good way, sometimes confusing - and sometimes - well everyone's idea of art can be different! read less

Theater was large enough to enjoy an a great band without being crowded but intimate enough to see the band up close and interact.. Staff was very gracious and the concession stand was more than adequate. read less

It's a small but lovely venue, an old-fashioned small-town theater that brings in movies and shows that are unusual for such a small town. Regrettably, the sparse crowds bring to mind The Last Picture Show. I hope people in central Jersey begin to appreciate the easy access and parking, as well as the number of fine restaurants within walking distance or a short drive, and begin to support this place in greater numbers. read less

Easy to park in the small business district and a few nice eateries within a block. I commuted from Bucks County PA; it was delightful not having to fight traffic on major highways to Philly or NYC. The space itself if intimate, comfortable and there's pretty much not a bad seat in the house. Plus, it's new and clean! I was there for an acoustic singer/songwriter set. The sound was incredible and pure. No table service, just a refreshment stand in the lobby. read less
