Starlight Room

Love this theater and that they keep the history alive to continue showing films here. They generally show independent films. All kinds of goodies and popcorn to grab before you head in. Be sure to check out the popcorn topper options, so fun! You can also order up adult beverages as well. Really enjoyed this theater.

The Starlight Room has a cool vibe, merging retro ambience with high-​end meals. The best part — with the casual seating, you’re bound to meet people from not only other cities but countries. The socializing adds to the overall enjoyment of this unique venue. Best date for everyone!

Please do not order the steak. I am not kidding; we could not even give it to a homeless guy. He didn’t want it. I nearly choked on it. It was the toughest steak outside of France. The green beans were also pitiful. We had heard good things about this place from the locals & were very disappointed.

My boyfriend and I were in Pt. Townsend for a night, thought we’d see a movie. I suppose it doesn’t matter what we saw, but the style, comfort, intellectual introduction to the movie, view, organization, food, and drinks were all excellent. My mixed drink was over $ 10, which is often frustrating, but it was one of the better ones I have had in a month or two, so that’s ok. All and all, a wonderful surprise evening.

Now THIS is a theater experience worth repeating. Intimate, comfortable, and a great menu to choose from. Cannot wait to visit PT again just so I can go to the Starlight Room!

Visiting from Seattle and my husband and I had heard about this place and wanted to check it out. We caught the Theory of Everything at the Starlight Lounge. This place was SO NEAT. We ordered food (lentil sliders + popcorn) and when we walked in to sit down, were totally surprised. It was a large open room filled with old couches and chairs and blankets. It was so comfortable and intimate and made it easy to start conversation with the person next to you, until the movie started that is. A screen came down from the ceiling and the curtains were closed and a man introduced the movie. He did a really great job telling everyone some neat little tidbits of information about the film. The quality was pretty much just like any other theater, maybe even better. I was a little worried at first that it wouldn’t be quite as good or maybe a little pixel-​y but it was beautiful! Definitely a must when visiting Port Townsend!

This theater is really special. They usually pick the better movies and live broadcasts (like opera from the NY Met). There’s a restaurant next door that’s one of the better restaurants in the area. However one of the theater rooms serves food, beer, wine, and specialty cocktails. It’s all really good and the chairs are really comfy (and they provide blankets).
The people who work there are all really nice and what the love of movies. They usually introduce the movie with some special insight or trivia which makes the experience that much better.
Note: even though I have this a 5 star review, there’s a caveat here. The projection and sound systems aren’t the best quality state of the art technology. It’s not XD or IMAX, but the movies they show aren’t the ones better suited for those theaters.

This is such an awesome idea. Comfy couches and great food! A great date night idea or just hanging with friends!

Wow. What an awesome experience!
Seeing a dinner at the Starlight Room is worth the drive wherever you’re coming from.
The Rose Theater and the Silverwater Café teamed up to offer a charming theater and dining experience. It’s just excellent.
Tips:
–Arrive 30 minutes before showtime to stake out a good seat.
–If it makes sense, order a full bottle of wine to split rather than by the glass. Much more economical this way. If there are 2 of you this is 2 healthy glasses each which is totally doable. :) They have several bottles available for purchase starting at $ 18/​bottle.
–Don’t miss the popcorn. This is the same beloved popcorn from the Rose with real butter.
We had the crab stuffed mushrooms (6 caps for $ 12 and they have lots of crab).
You can order at the counter and they bring your food out to you. They are not taking orders and delivering food during the movie which is a good thing in my opinion.
Overall, I really enjoyed my time here. I can’t wait to come back!
I prefer this experience to some similar theaters on the Seattle side. I think they’re doing everything right here!

The Rose Theatre & the Silverwater Café have partnered together to form the Starlight Room – a third theater venue for The Rose that provides a movie-​going experience along with appetizer menu items & adult beverages provided by the restaurant.
The setting is lovely on the upper floor of the Silverwater accessible by elevator or a steep stairclimb. At the top of the stairs to the right, you enter a small lobby with an upscale concession area where you may order food and beverages, including wine, cocktails. (Because alcohol is served, no one under age 21 is allowed to attend films in this third location.) The staff will provide your drinks there, take your name, and bring the appies to your seat when they are ready.
As you continue through the curtained entryway to the theater itself, the room is furnished with old-​fashioned upholstered couches & chairs with small tables for food & drink. There are large crystal chandeliers hanging from the ceiling, drape-​lined walls, & tall windows where you can view Port Townsend’s downtown area. When the movie is about to begin, the drapes close over the walls and windows and a screen drops down. A theater staff person does the usual Rose Theatre introduction of the movie and tells «insider» background tidbits about how it came to be, the director, writer, actors, etc. The room is very cozy and mostly comfortable (my companion’s chair was a little lumpy!).
A staff person brought our food to us. We each had a glass of wine, and we shared small plates of five crab-​stuffed mushrooms and of four caprese skewers, and an espresso nanaimo bar. All was delish, but pricey – those items were just over $ 40…which I guess isn’t bad since we had the wine. I guess because it’s a movie, there is a pyschological thing going on that it shouldn’t be that much. But it’s more than a movie. It’s a fun and quite lovely experience.
We recommend that the staff person bring napkins with the food as we had to go back to the concession area to get them. We also could have used utensils as, even though the items we ordered were finger foods (sort of), they really weren’t – they were a little messy. We also recommend that when ordering, the staff advise customers that once the movie starts, there is no more food service. We weren’t sure how large the portions would be and since there wasn’t a lot to them, we were still hungry when they were gone (we were there at the dinner hour), and assumed we could re-​order; but of course, that would be too disruptive to the movie-​viewing experience if too many did that. If there were signs advising of this, we missed them. We also recommend that, with items such as the stuffed mushrooms, they serve an even number since most people are there in twos, so each person gets an equal amount. :)
Overall, it was a unique experience and a nice addition for Port Townsend’s movie-​going community.
