Convenient location, easily accessible from all directions by public transit, many good restaurants nearby. Theatre itself is clean, well-run, always well-programmed, has pleasantly appointed lobby area, where one can enjoy a glass of wine before the show, and there is no game room with all those god-awful video games that one finds in most movie theatres these days as they are mostly catering to children and teens, it seems. In short, this one is the must go-to destination for the discriminating adult movie goer.

Layout and design

With 35 years of film viewing in Toronto I have always found the Varsity VIP the most comfortable venue in town.

The best movie theater for adults

October 18, 2013

What's great about the Varsity is that it isn't tailored to kids. They don't have video games; they have a wicked fish tank. And lots of Oscary movies. The 6 theaters that were built in addition to the 2 old ones have stadium seating. The older two do not, but the bigger one, #8, remains one of the best theaters to watch a movie in. This is also one of those theaters where the customer service tends to be quite above average.

Great Theatre

January 06, 2015

Convenient location, close to subway and parking in the building. Close to shopping and restaurants. The theater itself is clean and well maintained, but there is no theater seating.

Matinees Cancelled

April 07, 2018

Unbelievable! Matinées cancelled. When I asked about it I was informed it was due to construction. When I asked when construction would cease and matinees would resume I was informed approximately 2 months. Very disappointing.

No more afternoons on Monday vies :(

January 22, 2019

This was my favourite theatre in Toronto. I loved taking an afternoon off work and watching an early afternoon movie. That option no longer exists :(. Going downtown, and dealing with rush hour on the way home after the movie is less appealing. Bring back afternoon shows!

Squeaky seats

February 10, 2022

We avoid Odeon when possible. Squeaky seats make for a very uncomfortable movie experience and they charge extra for seats and concessions. Go to Imagine Theatres for luxury reclining chairs.
