Varsity Theater
Historic movie theater that opened in 1927 on Franklin Street and has been renovated. The two-screen theater plays second-runs of major Hollywood hits along with classic features at the low price of $3. Concessions remain reasonably priced and, much to UNC students' delight, the new ownership began serving craft beer to go along with their flicks.
