The Regal Theatre

Very lovely art deco building with new refurbished seats. Even in covid times they hosted a charity event for domestic violence survivors. Long live community theatres.

Newly Refurbished Cinema which has preserved the vintage elegance. Good video, sound and comfortable seats.

Finally restored to its former glory, the Regal has all of the charm and character of its era. Service has similarly improved since the recent refurbishment and the new seats hug you while you watch. A great place to go to the cinema.

Lovely art-deco theatre glad no one has knocked it down! Great antique location with all the expected mod-cons.

Well done to the Burnside Council for giving her a makeover. She looks amazing. What a beautiful place to watch a live show.

Very regal, much theatre, staff are very welcoming the space has been beautifully renovated and happy to see a lovely show

Burnside council have given the interior a much needed facelift, with new carpets and re-upholstering the seats. Made the visit more enjoyable

A lovely old fashioned theatre that is seldom busy on weekdays. I enjoy coming to the matinees as its usually very quiet. Sometimes Im the only patron!

The best cinema in Adelaide. It has far more character than any of the cine-plex cinemas. A large screen and good sound system make it a great place to watch movies. Only $10 admission is a real bonus.

Lovely old theatre restored with care, certainly retains its old charm and was very comfortable when we went to see ride like a girl.

Ride like a Girl. Fabulous movie showing how hard it is for women to get past the barriers put up by men. Literally in this movie. The theatre itself is amazing and if you are lucky enough to get there take the time to absorb the architecture.

Love the architecture. While its a little shabby, it has character and the seats are comfortable.

Old world charm. Staff friendly. Waterlilies by Monet very interesting and smart in itself. And while you're there, try Sam's salted caramel popcorn. Made locally with quality ingredients. It will be my downfall

Great place to see a movie. Good sized screen. Authentic retro feel. Like most older theaters, there's not much slope in the floor so don't sit behind someone tall.

What a unique experience in Art Deco architecture and watching old movies without the need to struggle to listen above the interference of noisy others xx

Theatre is clean and well maintained but the screen size and sound effects were below par to my liking.

Good to have this historic space. Good ticket deals. No liquor license - check if the next-door bar is open. Some special shows and fundraisers have a liquid license.

Beautiful old art deco cinema with history. Opened as Princess Theatre in 1925, then remodelled art deco in 1940 as the Ozone. Bought by Hoyts Theatres in 1952. Sold to Burnside Council in 1965 and operated from 1972 as The Chelsea by Wallis Theatres.

Attempts to add screens to make cinema more viable as a small multiplex, failed. After a controversial attempt to sell, the Council inexplicably took the cinema back from Wallis and leased it to Republic Pictures, who renamed it The Regal. In 2018 the Council took it back from Republic and is now operating it as a council facility.

My experience is of extremely small audiences, which does not bode well for the cinema's future unless sold to a genuine cinema chain operator who can add screens, as single cinemas are not viable in the 21st century, even at the very competitive ticket prices charged by council.

Council also runs special live events, including popular and classical orchestracl concerts, as did Republic and Wallis.

Council have done a good job in lifting the quality of the cinema, which was neglected by the previous the. Excellent refurbished toilets. Very clean cinema.

Lovely old timey feel, like stepping back in time, great atmosphere with good range of films. Good selection in snack bar. Short walk to marryatville pub and Hula Hoop next door:)

I took my disabled son and mother in law to see "Ladies in black". Tickets were only $10 each, for everyone! The cinema has reasonable parking, although not a LOT of parks (behind the cinema). It has wheelchair accessible parking, toilet and entrance and is a comfortable cinema to sit and watch a movie in and I highly recommend it!
