About Lighthouse
More than a movie theater. A Pacific Grove institution.
Our Story
Lighthouse Cinema has been a cornerstone of Pacific Grove's downtown for decades. Located at the heart of Lighthouse Avenue, we are a four-screen cinema, full-service café, craft bar, and community event space — all under one roof.
Under new ownership since August 2025, we are investing in the Lighthouse experience — better food, more events, upgraded facilities, and deeper ties to the Pacific Grove community. Our vision is simple: to be the place where the neighborhood comes together.
Whether you are here for the latest film, Thursday BINGO, Friday karaoke, Saturday salsa, or just a craft cocktail at the bar — you are welcome here.
The Experience

Comfortable auditoriums with digital projection and surround sound. Intimate enough to feel personal, big enough for the full cinema experience.
