Looking for a cheap and unique location for a night on the town?
The Admiral and The Crest movie theatre are both old fashioned and second-run movie theatres with an exceptional price of $3.00 per person.
Most of the films are headed out of Seattle screens for good, so these theaters are ideal to catch old flicks with the fraction of the price. 
The Crest Theatre is an old, run-down but charming theatre located at the neighborhood setting of Shoreline. Built in 1949 and operated by Landmark since 1989, this theatre features any kind of independent, foreign and Hollywood favorite.
The theatre has expanded since 1949 to be implemented with four widescreens and old fashioned seating. This retro and evocative theater is perfect for an inexpensive date night for anyone living in the North End.
In the heart of West Seattle lays another hidden gem, The Admiral Theatre. The rustic and antique atmosphere takes you back in time to the 50s.
The Admiral is equipped with only two widescreens; however, this venue also provides spots for Seattleite musicians, comedians, and actors to perform on stage.
It hosts any kind of night show, from the Rocky Horror Picture Show to the Peter Pan Ballet.
