Fleur Cinema & Cafe

The Fleur Cinema really knows how to do it right. They generally have a nice mix of independent films and big box office movies. It is an amazing local theater that makes coffee, teas to order, local craft beer/​wine and homemade baked goods. The prices for the films are very reasonable and the staff are über friendly. I am always thankful we have such a wonderful local places to take in the newest of films!

I can count on the Fleur Cinema to run movies that I can’t find elsewhere. The employees are friendly, and there’s a great variety of refreshments including coffee and wine options along with a variety of desserts, plus the normal popcorn, candy and soda options. Not a big chain theatre, so a more comfortable lobby with chairs and sofas. No stadium seating.

First time at this theater but it won’t be the last. Comfortable seats and lots of foot room between rows. Felt like first class in a plane. Friendly staff and theater was clean.

I love this sort of hidden gem, if you will. I have driven past it so many times, and until now only had I realized it is actually tucked back away from the street away from their street sign. Inside is modern and seemingly more «up to date» than the bigger more popular theaters in the area. This theater is completely locally owned and operated which is what makes me want to frequent here even more. It is almost a mix between a Flix Brewhouse and a regular theater. You can order food, different kind of snacks from the norm, and alcohol — but it is normal seating whereas you don’t get served. You just order it all from the concessions itself. They also have a variety of café items such as coffees, teas, and hot chocolate. There are plenty of places to sit in the lobby/​concession area while you are waiting to be seated for your movie. Fleur is loaded with fun décor! The table tops are made to be like old film spools and they have bright canvas photos of different movies hanging on the wall. They don’t show the big box office type of movies all the time, maybe one here and there. «Quaint cinema for art, indie & current films plus a café with beer & housemade snacks» sums it up rather well. Admission is $ 9 for adults with matinée’s being $ 7. Reasonably priced and no differently priced, even, than the bigger theater’s which are nationally known and spread out. Check it out and support a GREAT local business!

very good excellent movie!
report on catholic church child abuse centered on boston, ma.
sadly, the eventual outcome was exposure across the entire catholic church worldwide.

The Fleur is one of my favorite spots in Des Moines. During the height of movie season (December-​February), we frequent almost every weekend to watch independent films and sure-​to-​be-​Oscar-​nominated films.
For the two adults, we get in for $ 18 for a night screening. We always get a large popcorn and make it our dinner (it’s refillable if we are REALLY hungry) and a large soda to share (also refillable). These snacks cost us less than $ 10, which is a MUCH better deal compared to chain theaters.
For those that want adult beverages (I think I’d just fall asleep), they have beer and wine you can take into the theater. Also, they have coffee and espresso drinks.
Now go and visit the Fleur! It’s a gem of a spot in Des Moines.

I have a secret obsession with this place, yet have only been here a handful of times. Why, you ask? Probably because I just don’t see many movies. BUT when I DO see a movie, I want to see it here. Fleur is a quaint theater with fantastic movies and alcoholic beverages. You will find really great movies here like the Grand Budapest Hotel or Only Lovers Left Alive, along with independent films that are good but wouldn’t be caught dead in Carkmike Cinemas. They have a good beer and wine selection considering they’re a theater, and much much more appeal than a place like Flix. Do not be deceived. Just because it is off the beaten path does not mean it is not busy. There are a fair number of screens and I’ve always gotten in to see my movie, but go early on a weekend to avoid a long ticket line.

I love this place!

I love this place!
Do you get the message? i love this place.
Such a cool place to catch a movie.
Living in a rather small town, I find the local theater typically caters to the lowest common denominator, so I usually have the choice of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles or Sponge Bob, so I am thankful for this great indie theater that affords me more options.
The goodies at the concession stand also make me smile.
In the event you missed my point… I LOVE THIS PLACE!

Great art house theatre with four screens. Nice décor, friendly staff, reasonable prices and extras at the snack bar like tap beer and wine.
Chairs are pretty comfy. I’d give them five stars if they had a better sound system.

You can drink booze at the movies! And besides that they screen movies that aren’t shown elsewhere.

Great vibe. Theater gets good movies you can’t always see anywhere else.
Get a beer and a dessert and enjoy the show.

This place reminds me of one of my favorite theaters in the east bay (The Vine). On our first trip there it took a minute to find it. If you are using google maps it will direct you into a shopping center. just follow it to the back past the taco restaurant.
They had 5 beers on tap and some wine choices along with coffee and café foods. No tables in the theatre — would be cool to see some couches /​tables dispersed throughout.
Excellent movie choices — spend some time watching trailers online of the movies they are showing. You won’t hear about a lot of them, but that just means they aren’t mainstream and much higher quality movies. We saw «Chef» — had couple drinks in an uncrowded cinemas and loved it. Couldn’t ask for more and can’t wait to come back.

Best movie theater in town! Enjoy some wine or beer with your reasonably priced movie… and a TON of leg room!!!

This is my favorite place to see movies! I’m not real big on movie theaters in general. They’re expensive, the seats can be uncomfortable, and they’re usually cold. However, The Fleur has always offered me a great movie-​going experience.
They always get really good indie movies, so it’s great if you’re the type that avoids a lot of that Hollywood junk. The snack bar is great. You can find your typical movie theater popcorn and soda, as well as coffee drinks and wine and beer! I’m so smitten with the fact that I can drink a beer and watch a good movie outside of my home. The Fleur will definitely continue to be my cinema of choice!

I came here to watch the movie Her, because it was not available anywhere else. This theater is a nice local theater that shows many independent films. Their designs are nice and unlike standard places. They have a coffee shop inside and have great tasting coffee.
I would definitely come back here if there is another movie here showing I want to watch.

By far the top place to catch a movie in Des Moines! Unique flicks, lovely atmosphere, beer/​wine, desserts… what more could you want? Ticket prices are reasonable: $ 9 for evening showings and $ 7 before 6 p.m. on weekdays and before 3 p.m. on weekends.

The Fleur is a ridiculously cool place. I’ve never been anywhere else that has managed to capture that same vibe. It’s nice to have a place like this in the area to show the indie movies and smaller films that you wouldn’t otherwise be able to see in a local theater. For me personally, going to the movies has become a water-​down experience. Despite this, every time I step into the Fleur, is still feels special. Definitely a great movie-​going experience.

Fleur Cinema is one of the coolest indie movie theaters in the country! It’s clean and modern look, fits right in with the movies they show. All the best in contemporary independent film. Whether it’s a new Woody Allen movie, or some documentary you never thought would come to Des Moines!
Join their frequent movie club to get deals, on snacks and drinks, and let me tell you they have a great wine and beer selection or get your self a latte before you head in to the theater. They keep the website updated and have a nice online presence so you know when movies are coming and going. The sound in the theaters is great and the screens are the perfect size. This place is a must stop for any movie fan, the ultimate movie going experience when your headed to see films a little off the popular grid.
I also love all the prints in the lobby of famous movies from Star Wars, to Wizard of Oz, to The Godfather. This is a movie lovers paradise!

Recently saw «The Bling Ring» here. loved my rice krispie treat and the old school feel of this theatre. It took me back to my younger years!

Best theater in DSM! Only 4 actual theaters and not some huge mega theater. They show box hits as well as foreign and independent films.
Who doesn’t love a theater where you can order a glass of wine or beer!
