Everything I read about this theater is so cool. Although it was closed during my visit it was still beautiful to see

George RR Martins theater! That alone makes it worth a visit, but it really is a beautiful little cinema. Its clean and elegant. I couldnt recommend it more.

This is a place to be. The owner is the author of “Game of thrones” if i got it well. And he welcomes you sometimes in his lovely little museum.I highly recommend. You will not be disappointed.

The movie theatre was uncomfortably hot! Otherwise a cool theatre

Cleanliness (5/5): *****I came to this theatre for the first time to attend an event that my friend had. It was quite an experience. It was easy to locate the theatre. Walking inside I saw the entry way to walk through. Its not a boring straight line like other places. By the end of the walkway, I ran into a concession space that was well lit. You couldnt miss it. The people who worked there were friendly.The room that the event took place was a nice space and very clean. No popcorn left on the floor, which was impressive. I think I will try to go back to check out movies here in the future.

Small, clean, quiet, great films featured, books signed by George RR Martin, and you can even custom flavor your popcorn.

The new book store is open now and it’s attached to the cinema, all the books are signed by George RR Martin and other authors, you can get coffee there and read some books, great place, love it.

We went for the GoT premier of Season 7 Episode 1 and it was awesome! Definitely something I will always remember!

Small....cute...exciting

Awesome venue. Get autographed books from the store and enjoy an intimate, small viewing at this beautiful theater. Enjoyed the screening of the Neil Gaiman Dream Dangerously documentary and following Q&A session with George RR Martin and the film makers!

This is a hard review to write. Ive only been there once, for a special screening and a q&a followup with a show runner/author. My understanding is that it caters to mostly art and limited release movies, and I am so happy that Santa Fe has cinemas like this. I might not go often, but I really enjoy them when Im there. *Thanks to George R.R. Martin!*First, the Cinema itself. Its very small. Like seating for 120 people small. Its clean, well kept and comfy, even if the chairs were a little small for my 6 frame. The screen is smallish. Not sure what the measure is, but its not much bigger than what you can get in a home theater easily enough. But you go for the experience AND the productions!They have a full bar and typical movie snacks and popcorn.I had a ball there and cannot wait for the next occasion to visit.

Great atmosphere and very friendly staff.

I enjoy an occasional visit to this venue, but its not great for film viewing. Both the screen and projection equipment are close to the floor and people walking down the center aisle throw shadows that cover substantial portions. Further, the seating bowl is virtually non-existent. If someone sits in front of you, move!

Lovely theater with a great staff. Its a also the right kind space for stand up comedy, which they present from time to time. You can have a nice drink as well as popcorn & more. Its in downtown Santa Fe, so come early to find parking. If youre coming from Albuquerque, you can take the Railrunner practically to the door.

Tbe theater is a great piece of history. It is quaint and cozy. I saw a holiday showing with a dinner and a movie. It was packed and a bit crowded, which made it all the more fun. The food was good. The drinks are just ok. It was well worth the experience!

Great place to have in town with good selection of movies that aren’t running at your standard movie theatre. Love the little bar, bistro tables and art that add to a special place. If you haven’t visited you missing out on a special experience

It gets so so amazingly dark. You can get nutritional yeast on your popcorn. Great film selection. Great location.

Definitely one of the most interesting and unique businesses in Santa Fe! Located at the northern tip of the rail yard, it is a cute indie-cinema with a small bar located in the lobby, snacks, and board games to play if you arent interested in any of the movies offered. Due to its famous owner, there is plenty of fun merchandise available for purchase from well known book and television series.

Nice theater, of course. Havent been since the new owners really buffed the place up. Screen ratio was not ideal, though. Is that usual, M. Cocteau?

Love the connected bookstore. Nice small town atmosphere with popular names. Definitely Southwestern but not overly western feel.

George R.R. Martin is a very gracious man and the theatre is absolutely phenomenal. Most recently I attended the Final Season Premiere of Game of Thrones which George wrote. Thank you Mr. Martin. Shine on!

What makes this place amazing is how charming it is. The location is great, the place is small and comfy and the popcorn is amazing. It would be hard for me to recommend going to the cinema as a tourist destination, but in Santa Fe is a must.

The only movie theater I know of where you can have a beer! They showcase a lot of locally made films. Loved it!

Culture is everywhere in Santa Fe. The Jean Cocteau Cinema specializes in bringing great foreign films to the city. A bar and a small gift/book shop are nice amenities. The theater is owned by George Martin, author of Game of Thrones. Small venue with comfortable seating and an ever changing calendar of high quality films.

Caught a showing of Cowboy Bebop the movie. Saw George RR Martin just hanging out in the lobby. Pretty cool. Would recommend.

This is a tiny, tiny venue with a small bar, but it is a great place to catch movies that are not hitting chain theaters.

One doesnt want to say anything disparaging about this place because its so unique . I wish the seats were more comfy and the smell in the theatre wasnt like dirty feet. Other than that, great bar and cave like hangout. Im sure its full of local celebrities whom I dont recognize.

Such unique movies I am in love with this theater! Where else would you get the chance to say that you watched the 1930s reefer Madness movie in theatres! I will be back time and time again

Bottom line... I was thrilled to get a signed copy of the Martian and Outlander in hardback. Neat place.

Love this little theater! A Santa Fe gem. I can get an espresso and a good movie, too! The staff is fantastic! I look forward to the day I can premiere my own films there!

My wife and I stopped in during our vacation from Pennsylvania recently. David the manager was very accommodating, taking time to speak with us, offer stories and treated us like we were regulars. What s great place, we will be back!

Great service!!! Staff was kind and extremely helpful!!! I will be back and buy more awesome stuff and maybe even see the best writer in New Mexico...George R. Martin!!!

Excellent film and live Q & A. Very unique experience.

Had a chance to stop by while driving through to Phoenix. Great selection of merch from Game of Thrones and Martins other books. Most if not all of the books appeared to be signed. Worth noting that all HBO BRANDED GoT books are $10 more than sticker price.

Enjoyed movie showing of Santa Fake.Such a quaint cozy theatre!

I saw the John DeLorean documentary movie here last month. Theater is reliably interesting; the movies they show here are intelligent and treat the customers who like to watch films that are off the mainstream and independent.

Very cool little cinema with great showings and a nice staff.

I was just here for an art showing. But it seems like a lovely place. Popcorn that doesnt seem mass produced, and a sign at the ticket booth that says Dont bother, I cant here a word. Please come inside. And they play some off-beat sci-fi movies that deserve big-screen treatment. Definitely want to go back.

This place was great before it was purchased by J.R.R Martin. Now it is beyond amazing. They movie selections are terrific with delightful classics.Make sure you sign up for the newsletter so you dont miss any of the many events, including author talks, classic movies, games and other fun.

Attached to George RR Martins bookstore, beastly Books. As a GoT nerd, I had to stop when in Santa Fe. Neat looking store in a cool neighborhood.

Fantastic cinema, bookstore, and full service bar. George RR Martins place; hes very passionate about bringing in nationally-acclaimed authors and artists...All books in the store are signed. A must see if spending any time in Santa Fe!

Im a huge Game Of Thrones fan, so the opportunity to visit a theater owned by George RR Martin I couldnt pass up!!! Great atmosphere nice people. Im happy!

Every event Ive been to was wonderful! Excellent film choices and an incredible collection of books actually signed by authors! I love this place.

I love this place. The people are friendly, the atmosphere is homey, the films are great, ditto the events, and it is one of the rare gems of Santa Fe.

This is a very cool place. You can purchase signed copies of George R.R. Martins Game of Thrones at the same bookstore price. They have a full bar and snack bar with fresh popcorn. They frequently have new events and its always a good time.

Went the other day to see the Baron of Arizona, tickets are reasonably priced and I loved the adorable lit up snack bar as soon as you walk around the corner. Better than going to a regular movie theater.

A great small venue for some great movies you wont find in many theaters. Great popcorn bar to season your popcorn exactly to your taste.

This is an amazing slice of history. Owned by George R R Martin, the lobby is filled with autographed copies of all his books. Not to be missed.

Always enjoy our stops into the cinema. Even if you dont catch a show, the bookstore and cafe are always so quiet and cute, its not had to just grab a coffee or cocktail and relax for a few moments while looking at the books for sale.

Did not go into the theatre, only the bar, which was also supposed to be a bookshop but had barely anything besides GOT books and paraphernalia. concessions staff made us uncomfortable, acting like we were infringing on their space. Beautiful building, and the person at the front ticket booth was great.

Awesome little theatre owned by George RR Martin.

Awesome place. Love the layout..

Neat atmosphere. They really embrace their ties to George RR Martin. Retro feel and nice staff.

Super cool and funky theater with coffee bar and snacks.

Quirky programming, a cool small bar, customizable popcorn toppings, Game of Thrones paintings on the walls, stacks of books, board games in the cafe, and occasional celebrity visitors. Whats not to love? Its like being able to hang out at George R.R. Martins home theater.

Very cozy, and reminiscent of a goofy small town theater. Serves decent beer and the Cowgirl restaurant across the street caters food for them. Seems to attract a stereotype of a crowd.

Nice art house theater. Old, tight, uncomfortable seats. But good movies.

Unique and intimate venue. The theater seats are not comfortable, though, and popcorn was freshly popped but somehow tasted really old. But the unique events and atmosphere keep me coming back.

Great place to see movie, see a super cool event or just hangout! This place has everything! A coffee shop, bar, and bookstore in addition to its wonderful screenings!

A cozy theater with a bar, bookstore, concession stand and theater. The concession stand lights up in pinks, blues, greens and golds. All the books are signed by the author. Theres a game night and everyone is friendly. Definite stop when you go to Sante Fe.

Great local movie theater. Really appreciate the atmosphere and more.

A small intimate theater with many personal touches where you can partake in local events and see international movies. There is a bar, homemade popcorn, art exhibits, and all the autographed books you could ever want by George R.R. Martin, he bought and revamped the place.

Cool little local theater that shows different films than the standard

Arthouse cinema at its finest. just how it should be... small, independently owned, wit a bitchen cool basement bar vibe. you half expect David Lynch to round the corner inna purple velvet smoking jacket, caressing a joint wrapped in red foil. strangely muffled, discordant tonal frequencies reach your eardrums. hypnotic light frequencies, leak from under the door...

Great atmosphere and a fun to theatre!! Great drinks and old time nostalgic feel.

I have always enjoyed this old school Cinema.

Nice clean theater with a great mini bar with state winning cocktails and signed books by George R.R. Martin. A must stop for fans.

Love this nice small theatre with great vibe. Various coffees and snacks. Beer and wine served here.

Nice venue for offbeat films, with a bar and book store of all things GRR Martin, the owner.

Very small but quaint, there is a bar, and good popcorn!

Great place! Great films with organic popcorn and a bar. Santa fe at its best!

Pleasant, intimate. Would like more modern screen, seat and film choices.

Omg this is a cool little privately owned theater.

Great local cinema with a decent bar, and a small selection of books available for purchase.

Nice place. Good service and in a good location.

This is always a fun place to go for the special events.

Small, friendly, great movie selection, nice George Martin (and others) signed merchandise.

Charming old movie theatre with great cocktail bar and board games.

Reality Thief Show was amazing

Awesome theater, great crew and overall fantastic location.

Weird, eccentric, quaint. Love this little theater.

I really enjoyed this cinema, great staff.

We loved the vintage vibe here!

Amazing would come here next time Im in Santa Fe.

Thanks George RR! Great theater to watch amazing movies.

The theater is a positive contributor to local culture and a supporter of local artists, writers and filmmakers.

Fabulous Premier of GoT 8-1...

I love, love, love the Jean Cocteau. Ive seen several indies here that I wouldnt have been able to see anywhere else for hundreds and hundreds of miles.

Fantastic place experience the unusual...

Small theatre that serves alcohol. Never seems to be overcrowded or rowdy.

It a good place to watch a movie and play games.

I saw Chaos on the Bridge yesterday. The Q&A afterwards was great, too.

Great space. Excellent quality.

Intimate and eclectic film vie.

One of THE best places ever.

Intimate space, great atmosphere.

Great vintage screen with deftly curated films

Its a great place for a drink and movie

Great service.
