Star Theatre

The Lynn Theatre opened in 1916. Later known as the Alpine Theatre and Berkeley Theatre, movies have been screened since 1928. This depression-era, mom and pop neighborhood movie house is owned and operated by a husband and wife team. Movies are shown once a night on Fri, Sat and Sun, year ‘round. The feature changes every week. Prices are $3.50 for adults; $3 for children.

The Star Theatre is the center of nightlife in the historic spa town of Berkeley Springs, WV and led the revitalization of downtown when it passed into the current owners' hands in 1977.

The main attractions besides the vivid marquee that lights up the night sky are: 1949 Manley popcorn machine that produces great popcorn served with real butter; 3 overstuffed couches available by reservation; etiquette speeches before the movie; a friendly, down-home crowd that make visitors feel like part of the family.
