| Welcome to the new Dunellen Theater & Cinema Café Web page New Jersey's Only Cinema Café A Brief History About The Dunellen Theater |
| 458 North Avenue Dunellen NJ, 08812 732-968-9010 |
In May of 1920 the Dunellen Theater was built. It has under gone many
changes since then. Richard Zupko purchased the theater in 1989 from
Gild Luca who’s family had it for many years. Richie grew up in this
town and did not want to see it become something other than what it was.
He had a vision in 1989. He wanted a place where families could
go on the weekend for great food and entertainment. After redoing the
theater inside and out keeping and restoring what he could to maintain
the “old theater” look and feel. He reopened it in 1999. At first it was
used for a variety of different things such as comedy shows, concerts,
movies and plays. Then he had the great idea of a Cinema Café. Going
with this we decided to remove every other row of seating and replace
them with coffee tables. To keep the Cinema Café a family atmosphere
we now show mostly family
oriented and children’s movies. Families can come enjoy dinner and a
movie simultaneously at a very reasonable cost. Our ticket prices are
$7.00 for adults and $5.00 for children and seniors. You can either
order anything off our Tavern menu which includes a variation of
sandwiches, salads, appetizer, children menu and more. Take advantage
of our $13.75 Pizza Special which is 1 large cheese pizza and a pitcher
of soda or beer.
Upon arriving you purchase your General Admission tickets at the
Box Office, then proceed to the concession counter to place your food
order or to get a snack or drink. If food was ordered you will be given
a number to be placed on your table, this number helps the theater
employees to deliver your food as it is ready. All of our food is freshly
made to order.
So sit back relax and enjoy!!
