The official Facebook page of Landmark Theatres' historical Uptown Theatre located in Minneapolis, Minnesota.
One screen. Operated by Landmark since 1978. Home of the Twin Cities Exclusive, the Uptown Theatre is located in the heart of the Uptown District. Featuring the finest in independent film and foreign language cinema, programming is usually limited to one or two week runs, at which point films will typically move down the street to the luxurious Lagoon Cinema.
The Uptown Theatre was originally built in the 1930s after a fire destroyed its multi-purpose predecessor, the Lagoon Theatre. The Uptown still sports a 50-foot tower, originally placed to mark the Uptown area. The tower used to have a revolving beacon which, when lighted, one could see from miles around. The Uptown Theatre is still the only remaining area movie theatre with true balcony seating.
The parking lot behind the Lagoon Cinema is open again. There are also pay lots behind the Uptown Theatre and behind Calhoun Square. Metered street parking is available on nearby neighborhood streets and unmetered street parking is available out beyond the metered streets.
