About

Tin Pan Theater is a beloved arthouse cinema owned by BendFilm in the historic district of Bend, Oregon. The intimate 28 seat theater is adorned with red velvet old-fashioned seats that can best be enjoyed with the best home-made popcorn you've ever had.

The small in-room concessions also serve up other classic movie fare including candy, soda, and local beer and wine on tap!

Along with independent films and cult classic showings, they offer events like 'Spaghetti Western Wednesdays' which serves up a spaghetti meal paired with a surprise old western film and 'Crouching Tiger Micro Cinema Sundays' which serves up a delicious Chinese dinner and a surprise martial arts film.

Tin Pan is the destination for a wonderfully nostalgic movie viewing experience.
