The Metropolitan Theatre is now restored and operating as the Metropolitan Entertainment Centre. The theatre is a food and beverage emporium and OPEN to the public mainly as a restaurant. Occasional screenings of old movies are played here as well as Winnipeg Jets home games. For those that can’t get hockey tickets you can watch the home game on the big screen for free! Lovingly restored by Canadinns with financial help from the City and Province, this heritage theatre had it’s rebirth as the Metropolitan Entertainment Centre November 2012 nearly 25 years from the day it last closed as a Famous Players Theatre. If you are in Winnipeg, this rare restored example of an Allan Theatre must be seen! A great place for a dinner
date! Paste this link in your browser for more information:
The boards were off the theatre for the filming of the movie
“The Horseman”. When I looked through the windows and door, everything looked as it did in ‘99, aside from all the
filming equipment. Since, the Met has been re-boarded and has
returned to it’s former quiet state. I work near to theatre
and always keep on eye on any activity going on there. Currently,
there is no sign of any project going on there. I will keep you posted if and when I see the start of anything going on there.
