Follow Beacon Street through Kenmore Square (past the legendary Citgo sign), staying in the center lane. After you cross the overpass, keep going straight ahead, following the trolley tracks along Beacon Street until you reach the intersection of Beacon and Harvard Street, landmarked by a large Tudor style building with a clock tower (and a Walgreens) on the corner. You'll see us one half block up Harvard, but continue on Beacon to Center Street and turn right to access our parking lot behind the building.

Go through the intersection and take a right immediately after the fire station, and loop around the back. You can now turn right and cross back over Route 9 onto Harvard Street. Follow Harvard Street through Brookline Village, about one mile to Beacon Street. Cross Beacon Street and you will immediately see our marquee on your left. Parking is along Beacon, or go around the block and enter the lot behind our building on Centre Street.

Parking Info

Nearby metered public parking is available behind the theatre (on Centre Street one block from Harvard Street) and along Beacon Street. Meters are free after 8:00pm and on Sundays and holidays.

Parking is also available just a short walk away at the Courtyard Marriott in their parking garage for a similar fee.

Please note that the lots tend to fill up on weekends or during large events, so please plan a little extra time to find space. We strongly recommend public transit for events and films you anticipate will be very busy! Additional parking at an hourly rate is available across Beacon and Centre Streets at the Courtyard Marriott Hotel garage on Webster Street.
