For a quicker direct link an October 2022 street view use “33 Main Street, New Haven, CT 06512” minus the word Annex.

I went there about 3 weeks ago on a Saturday night. I’m a dresser, and I’m told an attractive one. It was pretty much what I expected, a little worn down and aged. The clerk at the desk seemed nice enough. I paid my money and went into the theatre. It was dark, so I stood up the back letting my eyes adjust. Once I could see, I noticed two or three gentlemen standing in the back of the theatre, and just two more seated. I took off my long coat and one of the gentleman proceeded to walk me down to a seat in the front row. It was there that I thanked him for his assistance. I had a few other gentlemen come visit with me there as well. I had a great time and will be making the trip back as soon as I can!
Did this place start out as a legitimate movie theatre?
Need a date
The Fairmont theater is in the ‘Annex’ section of New Haven (not East Haven). I saw Horror of Party Beach there in 1964 (that film made in Stamford Ct.)
There are 106 seats in the Fairmount. I went in and asked. It’s shady, of course. Tinted doors. You walk in and there’s a mini-dvd/video store on both sides and a front counter with the auditorium behind. Lots of older men walking out, adjusting their belts.
Saw and ad in last week’s New Haven Advocate that this theatre is looking for employees!
Anyone out there who goes here still? Any links for us?
