Old Town Warren Theater in Wichita, Kansas

*Originally published on 9/24/09


My roommate and I are big movie buffs. There are times where we end up going to see a newly released flick on a weekly basis. It's a great weekend activity that lets you kick back and get away for a while. If you live in Wichita, the go-to theater is the Old Town Warren theater. It's the largest theater in the area. They usually have screenings of all the major releases. The theaters are big and have stadium seating. The chairs are more comfortable than most theater seats as well.

The best part about the Old Town Warren is the fact that they offer a full menu. When you walk in, you can ask for a menu. You call your server by pushing a button that is on your arm rest. You have a variety of meals to choose from and they are reasonably priced.

They bring the food right to you and you can eat while watching a movie. You get dinner and a movie simultaneously. The portions aren't skimpy, you'll find yourself full afterwards. It's restaurant quality food. Most people don't bother getting food at the movie theater unless it's just candy or popcorn, but now you can get something more substantial. They offer burgers, pizzas, and even pasta items.

Another cool thing about the Old Town Warren is the fact that they have a bar in the lobby. You can go in and have a drink before your movie starts. There are a bunch of monitors that broadcast sporting events or other programs so you can pass the time if you get there too early or just want to hang out and have a drink.

Really, there's no better way to spend a Friday evening. You go in early, grab a drink, watch your movie and get a full meal, all in one place. With people trying to save money on gas and everyone being as busy as they are, it's nice to find a place where you can get all of your relaxing and unwinding done in one place.

Wichita residents will be greatly pleased with this theater. If a movie is playing here, you'll want to see it here. Other theaters just don't compare when you see all that the Warren has to offer. There are other Warrens, and they're pretty good, but even they're not quite as good as the Mecca that is the Old Town Warren.
