Lido Theater

A bit of Newport History, this theater has seen many things. Have been inside a few times for events, was passing by during a local scavenger hunt (Newport Beach 2083) and looked around to see if there was any indication of when it might reopen.

Hope it does, at least before the actual 2083!

#NewportBeachFilmFestival at #TheLidoTheater is a great combo annual event where the community of filmmakers, media, fans, stars, volunteers etc unite in this paradise by the sea.

Love this art deco theater. It isn't high tech but still a nice place to see a film.

Amazing venue. This renovated movie house now also has live music with original artists and classic rock cover bands. The staff is friendly and this is an great place if you are not into the typical club scene but you want to have a fun night out.

Very cool vintage theater!! Loved the decor and architecture. History was made at this theater back in the day and if you want you can imagine stars of yesteryear walking thru the small lobby and into the beatuful theater itself. Go, have fun!

Great acoustics and the annual world renown Pageantry of the Masters, where people become living painting, statues, and movie posters. Before the show are some amazing artists selling their fantastic creations. Heads up tip, No photography allowed.

This is such a unique theater! Its like a legit old style theater, red velvet carpet and all. They even have balconies you can sit in. Watching a movie here is an experience of its own. Probably wouldn't come here regularly to see my movies but I would def bring guests and friends here for the experience.

I came to the Lido theatre last week to watch Rocketman (great movie) and we were kindly greeted by a tall guy name Shane. He was very nice and very helpful. I will definitely recommend this place to people because of the great customer service they provide.

Love love everything about this hotel. The service is impeccable, you are made to feel so welcome the moment you arrive whether one of the frequent celebrities who stop by or a very jet lagged Aussie couple in their saggiest travels clothes straight off the plane.

I've been here twice & loved the small, convenient venue. I've heard they've now closed, which is disappointing. I think it had something to do with an expensive lease or redevelopment... in other words, money.

It's one of the last Movie Theaters with a Balcony !! Just an AMAZING Theater. You will understand when you go there .. way way Cool !

Tiny theater-- came for the Newport Beach film festival. Typical movie theater fare with snacks and sodas. Parking can be rough depending on time of day.

This is a historical theater, very beautiful and
there's a lovely balcony and the staff are so
helpful.

As long as they continue to play "It's A Wonderful Life" around Christmas I will always love this place!

Wow, a classic old style theater, the way it should be! Worth the experience to see a movie here!!

What a nostalgic look back and a visual experience at what was a common type theater.

Nice theater and seating. Classic look to the past time.

I always love seeing film festival screenings and other film events here!

The Lido is like a trip back in time. Sit in the balcony front row for the best view.

Cute old theater right at the head of Balboa peninsula.
