Tivoli Theatre

The Tivoli Theatre is a movie theater in Delmar Loop featuring Spanish Mission architectural style and a 40-foot vaulted ceiling located on Delmar Boulevard. The space offers a classic cinema experience shaped by its distinctive historical design.

The theater opened in 1924 when streetcar service ran along Delmar Boulevard, making it a key gathering spot in the neighborhood. After closing temporarily, it underwent major restoration work that preserved its historical character.

The theater shows independent films, documentaries, and foreign language movies that enrich the local cinema scene. Regular visitors can discover works that are rarely shown in other cinemas around the area.

The theater is easy to reach and sits in the heart of Delmar Loop, a busy neighborhood with shops and dining options nearby. Planning a visit for Friday works best, as special events and additional screenings happen on that day.

The building has served a double purpose since 2021, functioning as both a movie theater on Fridays and as a church space following acquisition by a local congregation. This shared use makes it an unusual spot in the neighborhood where entertainment and worship occupy the same walls.
