About Us

The Lyric is what some would call a quaint twin theater. Funky, maze-like and unique. It started as an idea that two guys had and saw no reason not to pursue. Both from Fort Collins, both knew as little about opening a theater as anyone else in town, but recognized that if they didn’t open it, someone else would. If you look hard, you can actually see blood stains and indents in the walls from all the injuries these legendary men accrued during the construction of this theater.

If you are expecting a multiplex with a 30 foot screen, stadium seating and DTS surround sound, you will be disappointed. What we offer is the chance to see a new smaller movie (that will never come to the bigger theaters), sit on a couch, drink a glass of wine or beer, enjoy some good finger foods and relax. We think of The Lyric as our living room, where we watch  good movies and invite the rest of Fort Collins to join us, and hopefully you will eventually trust our taste in movies and come no matter what’s playing.

Of course, if you aren’t a movie person, couldn’t care less about independent and foreign films and just want a spot to hang out, we highly recommend Starbucks…and if you don’t like that conglomerate chain atmosphere and need something less trendy and billion-dollar-corporationy, well, The Lyric Cafe might just hit the spot. We serve beer, wine, coffee, tea, bubble tea, finger foods, empanadas and cheesecake from local baker, Puffin Pastries. Not only that, we happen to be game nuts, so we have an assortment of games to enjoy while you aren’t enjoying a movie.
