Why Drexel Theatre why was this picked
The Drexel Theatre on East Main in Bexley is the historic indie screen we book for repertory series, Cinema Columbus festival nights, and dates that want neon over a mall. The Art Deco marquee still signals independent film as the mission, and membership tiers cut the walk-up price. Seats are classic rather than powered recliners, which fits the neighborhood palace feel.

Know before you go
The Drexel Theatre is the Bexley indie palace we book for neon, repertory series, and Cinema Columbus festival weekends. Classic seats trade powered recliners for a room that still reads as a neighborhood movie house on East Main Street. Membership tiers cut popcorn and ticket costs if you return for repertory months.
Weekly schedules often concentrate Thursday through Monday unless a special series expands the calendar. Street parking and nearby lots are the default, and festival nights fill the curb earlier. Pair it with a walkable Bexley dinner when the marquee is the whole point of the night. The theater maps to Near East Side on our neighborhood pages. Build the rest of the night with our cheap date night guide.
