I have wanted to go to this theatre for years and so glad that I finally did! From the moment that I walked through the doors I felt transported in time. The theatre has maintained its classy look curtains and all. The customer service was very friendly. The bar was a very nice bonus ($6 shots) A real treat for movie lovers.
Nice place to stop in for a bite to eat. Good food and beer selection. The staff was very receptive to my group and got us in and out quickly before we headed next door to catch a movie.I had the cheeseburger and wedges. Wasnt the greatest burger, but I still enjoyed it. The wedges were nice and crispy.
Awesome old school movie theatre and diner and cool little bar. The Majestic diner is a little expensive, but it is a cool place to go to though. They have been open since 1929 and they have not closed once. It is open 24 hours 7 days a week.
Theres a number of reasons to come to this shopping center. They have a few clothing stores, a bar, and several restaurants within eyesight. Theres also a few shops for running errands like a FedEx, cleaners and shoe repair, the Plaza Movie Theater, and a gym. There parking can be difficult but I generally find a spot. Personally I love the Majestic diner, Buffalo Exchange, and the cleaners in the back.
Support this amazing place. What an amazing experience! Some chain movie theaters arent as clean as this place and the staff is just amazing. Went to see the midnight showing of Rocky Horror Picture Show a few weeks back, a great time!
The Plaza Theater is an amazing place for being the last independently owned and run theater in Ga. It has a very retro vibe. It has a lot of old movie posters on the walls. Every Friday night they put on a shadow cast reenactment of the Rocky Horror Picture Show at midnight.
An older shopping plaza! Very outdated, on s very busy corner. Parking is absolutely horrible! Only free parking is one small lot behind the plaza which filled up very quickly for the event we were attending which was the premier showing of the movie Shaft!!! A local radio station on Atlanta debuted the movie for its listeners as a treat before it hit the regular theaters. The venue was a very old theater build in the early 60s so you can imagine how outdated that was lol. If you visit be prepared to deal with local homeless who have found it comfortable to hang around and lounge. Just my take.
This diner has amazing late night foods especially their double lamb burger. Their pricing is also very reasonable. Ill definitely visit this place again when I visit Georgia. They serve in 15min although the place is usually packed even at 2am.
Great little strip mall including Atlantas oldest movie theater--The Plaza. Parking is absolutely a nightmare here as is dropping off passengers. Both points of entry into the parking lot are awkward due to the layout of each street. The stores and theater are great. Im just evaluating the shopping center.
I spend quite a bit of time here at Briarcliff Plaza. Between the theater and the Righteous Room, I practically live here!! The Buffalo Exchange is a great consignment place to sell/buy and the Majestic is just across the street...Not a fan of Urban Outfitters, but does make for fun people watching while having a beer on the patio at the Room :-)
If you are looking for a old style theme movie theater, this is the place. Parking might be a bit tough, but it is worth it for the selection of movie they show and retro feel of the place. Bar is a plus.
The movie theater is Amazing with a original vintage vibe. The concession area is far better than those other AMC theaters.The seats are extremely comfortable.
Greatest of classic breakfast joints!
This an old school mini strip mall, its best features are the Righteous Room bar, The Plaza movie theater and The Majestic Diner. The other shops are of little interest and lack any character if youre not shopping. However, it becomes a major task trying to find parking during peak hours and parking in the wrong place and leaving the property will get you BOOTED!
The only reason why its not 5 star is because on a busy day... due to the number of times that youll circle that plaza to find parking is a headache. But I get it. The front lot is not very big however I imagine that it was perfect back in the day day. Fun stuff to do. Some stores have been there for decades and some come and go. Overall its fun to hang the, watch a movie at the plaza theater, grab a bite at the diner, take care of that sweet tooth at insomnia cookies (omg.. forever my love) lol, or even buy an outfit. Plenty to do and great for social people.
The plaza itself is a little dated but Urban Outfitters always has some trendy thing to purchase and the theatre runs with Indy and classics all the time. Find myself here mostly for parking when I go to Majestic Diner for the tasty flattop cooked burgers. Heard the Island flower shop had to leave because of the rent increase for the upcoming renovations...the curse of things changing.
A friend and I meet weekly at the Majestic at Briarcliff Plaza. We have a favorite waitress, Ellie, she takes the best care of us and we always go on the night when shes there. The food is good, the chili is great.
Place was aight , they didnt mind me smokin blunts on the patio . The server gustin was a absolute delight . Eat the hummus , drink the spirits , Im not sure about the other food .
Great new Cycle and Yoga studio! The Majestic Diner for 24 hour delicious and San Francisco Coffee right beside the parking lot. Love walking to this center.
What could you possibly not say about the Briarcliff Plaza limited parking construction you can possibly get run over theres food The Majestic I mean my Lord catch a movie in between trying to dodge a car what a fabulous place especially late at night when the freaks come out
An Atlanta staple located in a very walkable area near plenty of bars, restaurants, and shops. Buffalo Exchange is great, the Plaza Theater is great, Righteous Room is great. The only thing I dislike about this plaza is the Urban Outfitters, but hey, thats not Briarcliffs fault.
Fond memories here. I worked security at this plaza for 5 months. Each store had its own culture and following and i came to know each manager of each store quite well. Its a hip and trendy plaza.....i think Ill go back for a visit.
Customer service was specific to my needs.
The plaza theater is a great callback to a past moment in history. It is beautifully restored and an amazing place to view movies with friends/ loved ones.
The Plaza Theatre is a place that shows movies for those who LOVE the movies! They show a great mix of new and older classics. Although it was built a decade after Atlantas Fox, it has the distinction of being Atlantas oldest continuously run movie venue. NOW it also has a Real Live Theatre Organ, for the first time in its 80-year history, thanks to the Atlanta Chapter of A.T.O.S. You should come early just to hear organist Ken Double (and others) play the pre-show!
Candy Movie Premiere ATL 4-27-19
Was great once, before the Plaza Theater was sold and transformed. Also, dont step one foot off the block or the guy who waits in the parking lot will boot your car.
One of the most convenient shopping malls and the entire Midtown area always nice and well kept and easy to find parking and a nice place to shop for groceries or even visit the Majestic Diner or a number of other nice locations one of my favorite places to stop because its not congested
This is a very nice spot on Ponce Ave. It is part of the elusive ATL look.
This Plaza has been there for years and well-known for Plaza drugs its happy you see me interesting people that little interesting restaurants to eat at the real toes there its worth your time to go and walk around and see the other side of life
Best theater in town!
The milkshakes were made with real strawberry ice cream...they got some strawberry whatchamaycallit.....not good looking for new shake spot, pay too much for fake items...
The food is goodI have a friend who works as a waiter. But this place is too high priced.2 eggs and toast for $8.69 is ridiculous
Just try to visit any of the business in this area and you will get the boot!!! It will cost you big time if you step off the curb. We went to the car to get our camera to take a photo of friends and you got it ..... The coffee was cheaper than the extortion you have to pay to get your car unlocked!
I went to the theater there it was a entertaining night. But if your looking for snacks be prepared to pay triple the price. Ijs.
This is a Historic Landmark,despite the age theaters in excellent shape. Joined in for private viewing of a web series. Had an amazing time.
The plaza theater was hosting a screening of Shaft. Enjoyed the historical atmosphere...but more parking is needed
Love the atmosphere. Great food.
Only been to the Plaza Theater
Urban Outfitters is also in this plaza. Wonderful store to shop for unique clothing, shoes, candles and perfumes.
Rigteous Room is a great local bar. Always run into a familiar face or make new friends when there
Awesome place for a date night. Very original presentation and great for catching up on some old and classic films.
Theres not many old school theatres left. This establishment was quite beautiful from them the outside in.
Watched Color Out of Space at The Plaza and then ate at the diner next door. Parking was rough. Movie was tight.
Very busy unique place that seems to be under constant renovation, definitely historic, old as if not older than me but endures
Went for the movie screening of The Gentlemen and it was nice. I had not been since the remodeling and it is awesome.
Urban outfitters was the best the employees are so nice. The sweaters are a great quality
Very cool little shopping center with a massive variety of stores and restaurants. Briarcliff somehow packs an entire mall worth of stores into a city block.
This place has stood the test of time. 1950s till now its just a plaza next to The Majestic.
NIGHTMARE ON ELM STREET? On Haloween Day? Great weather for such night, Oh I knew Id love it.
I went here to see Get Out. The staff is friendly and the theater atmosphere has a 1950s feel.
Easy parking, nice shops but there is usually someone here begging for money. Not the safest place at night, either.
One of my favorite theatres. Do yourself a favor and go see a classic here.
Nothing special. Cops always watching the bar in this shopping center.
It is a plaza. Some of the shops here are good. Some of them not so much. A convenient location although it can be a bit of a pain at rush hour.
Small area and definitely hard to find parking but thats Atlanta for you
Always a legend.... movies and Urban Outftters , with a little retro shopping at Buffalo!
Great location! Plaza movie theatre is a fun place to see movies.
Looks cooler than it is.
Movie Premiere for Blindfolded! Very nice facility!
Drink at Righteous Room, watch a film at Plaza Theatre, eat at Majestic Diner. ♥️
Since 1939 this theater has been delivering the goods.
Good place for pedestrians and taking lyft too. Parking can be scarce.

Its a little outdated shopping center. I really only go for the movie theater.
Great shopping like Buffalo exchange and the greatest diner ever in the majestic!
This location has everything in it from A to Z. The location is old school ATL with a new school ATL multicultural feel.
I so love the Urban Outfitters & TJ Max stores... good place for a quick refreshment.

2022-01-21I only put 4 stars because they would not allow me to add the name of the restaurant. We went to our favorite breakfast spot Majestic. Its located next to the plaza listed. As always the food and service was absolutely perfect. BTW every server had on there mask.

2022-02-02Lots of great businesses in a very cool historic shopping center. Parking can be hard in peak hours but if you circle 3 times you will most likely get lucky. Wondering what happened to Buffalo Exchange??? Me too, I miss them.
Review №3
2019-04-22A true Atlanta shopping landmark. Built in 1939, Briarcliff Plaza exudes art deco and streamline moderne design. The Plaza Theatre is a wonderful local cinema and the longest continually operating theatre in Atlanta. Also home to the Righteous Room (bar), Urban Outfitters, and more.

2021-08-17If youre looking for a classic shopping center, the classic Atlanta landmark isnt it. Most ofghe shops, including the iconic Plaza Drugs are gone.On the other hand, the theater lives, the diner lives, and the Righteous room remains.You can graze your way to a delightgil evening.
