My son discovered this spot while watching a film for one of his UAB course assignments. He immediately sent me photos (I currently reside in NC) to share what a cool place it was. It's a non profit, independent theatre that features some of the more mainstream movies as well as lots of independent films. While visiting over the Thanksgiving holiday, we went to watch a movie. I absolutely loved the "underground" theatre! It's so beautiful and chic, even when it's not decorated beautifully for the upcoming Christmas holiday. All of the staff were great and accommodating. I inquired about a coffee at the snack bar (at 8:30pm) and they brewed a fresh pot for me! Now, the itty bitty coffee cups (by my standards) were a bit of a disappointment, but that speaks more to my caffeine use disorder more than anything! lol Unlike many of your standard theatres, this one offers alcoholic drinks as well. The theatre is really beautiful and in good repair. It's also clean, which I appreciated. I am about to move to Birmingham and this will be a place I frequent!

Wonderful independent movie theater in the basement of the Pizitz food court. Paid parking is available in the adjoining garage (anything below 2 hours is free). Lovely decor, including seating areas with a shelf of games in the lobby, and the staff was unfailingly friendly and helpful. The individual theaters are small compared to a big chain, but chairs are very comfortable and it's hard to have a bad seat. Concessions are good quality (there's a bar with rotating themed drinks) and priced fairly reasonably. The bathrooms are even Shining themed! You can also reserve theaters for private events.

My first visit was for a $5 matinee showing of “Moonage Daydream” which was excellent, but can’t reflect on this review. No matter, because Sidewalk Cinema is a cool place, whatever they’re showing. All of the employees I encountered were polite, helpful and professional. I loved the videos playing on several large screens in the areas outside the theaters. There were several seating areas for enjoying cocktails, beer and beverages, making this a good place to visit even if you don’t have a movie on your agenda. Sidewalk is located in the lower level of Pizitz Food Hall, so there are additional options if you need to kill time before a movie or just chill out for a bit. I try to photograph bathrooms for my reviews, and did so here, but didn’t notice the mirror until I revisited prior to leaving. Nice touch! The movie was in a small theater with quite comfortable seats. The showing was sparsely attended, but that wasn’t surprising considering it was at 2pm on a Thursday. Now that I’ve had my first visit, I’m definitely going to be back. Sidewalk Cinema is a bright spot in Birmingham’s cultural growth.

Only come here if you want a good experience and love movies. If you want to be bored, go somewhere else. At Sidewalk Film Center friendly staff will greet you, you’ll find a really thoughtfully decorated space with lots of little movie Easter eggs, a gorgeous bar, plenty of little seating areas to hang out before and after a film, a food and drink menu with the classics, and comfortable and intimate auditoriums with the latest digital tech.

Been here three times now and not only is this a very nice theater it’s super fun. They really try hard to make this a unique experience for everyone. They have lots of theme nights and having a bar only adds to the experience. Everyone is so kind and we love coming here for the different events. Fun for all ages. Can’t wait to come again.

We saw the much anticipated movie "The Color Purple " musical. This was my second visit to this theatre. We love the cozy atmosphere of the lobby and small theatre. We especially loved the food and drink offerings. Reasonably priced. Special shout out for the pretzel bites and nachos. Not your average movie treats.

A sparkling jewel of a cinema that sends rays of superb cinematography into Birmingham and reminds us that a film is more than a filler between ads or the tickling of primal fears and lust. The foyer with its lights, comfy chairs that invite you to meet friends before the film and provide an opportunity to stay and discuss the film, the games, the TV, the popcorn booth, and the well-stocked and friendly priced bar, whose offerings include draft beers and cocktails that you can take into the theater, are the fantastic backdrop for a staff that couldn't be nicer or more knowledgeable. Go and watch a film without the distraction of the ever dinging phone and the looming chores that creep into your peripherals when watching TV. Actually, they do have quite a few events that are educational and/or entertaining and absolutely worthwhile checking out.

So much more than just a movie theater, Sidewalk is an incredibly versatile events center for the film and arts community. There are so many incredible events (many free!) for all manner of film lovers to enjoy. I'm always shocked when I hear people say they had no idea it was here, because Sidewalk has been serving the Birmingham community as a theater for years, and as a festival for decades. If I have to start shouting from the rooftops to get people to discover this local treasure, I will.
