Apollo Theatre
Oberlin's first and only movie theater, just past the First Merit on East College Street. It's been around since 1913 (it opened in 1914), which is a ridiculously long time for a movie theater. Movies are a mix of first run and second run. They only show one movie at a time (except for occasional summer weekend matinees) but the movie usually changes every Friday.
Two-dollar admission on Tuesdays, Thursdays, and all matinees; $3 for all other shows. Showtimes on weekdays depend on the length of the movie, but are usually around 7:15 and 9:30; weekend matinees (usually just for kids' shows) are at 2:00 pm.
Drinking at the Apollo:
College students can commonly be found drinking forties at the Apollo at the late shows (particularly on Tuesday and Thursday). The Apollo employees know about it and actually don't care unless people are assholes. As long as people are respectful, don't drink at early shows with lots of kids, don't drop their bottles, get sick or rowdy, and take the bottles home to recycle, no one really cares. When drinking starts to become a problem, the Apollo starts cracking down.
