This is a gem in the City of Belleville. I can't believe the acts that they are able to book. We've seen some world class bands there. More

Known more for its live entertainment, the Empire also features carefully-chosen films which are shown at 7:30 on evenings between other features.

A great evening! More

I have seen MANY concerts at the empire and love the small hometown feel of the place. Comfy seats and good sightlines. Ticket prices are generally cheaper than other venues. A great place to take teens for their first few concerts. More

There are none of the long trailers before the movie (Be on time!), you can have decent seats, the concession stand is reasonably priced. It was a pleasure to go to a movie here. Parking was just across the street. I... More
