Today is #SmallBusinessSaturday. Please consider supporting the local businesses on Ludlow in Gaslight Clifton. Many of us are locally owned and operated and don't receive any corporate support. I hear gift cards to area theaters are always a hit! Bonus cards with purchase make the deal even better!

Esquire Theatre @esquiretheatre.com · 24/11/2025

As we enter "Oh, $^@#" season for gifting, please consider shopping local. Ludlow Ave. is unique in Cincinnati for having a variety of stores, restaurants, theaters (little self promotion!), and more that can provide great gifts and gift cards all within a few blocks. #Cincinnati #LocalOnLudlowl

The ACX Cinema in Blue Ash closed this week. Theaters are a gateway to wonder & a little bit of magic dies when one closes. If you have a gift card from ACX or any closed #Cincinnati theatre, exchange it at our box office for a pair of passes to use at the Esquire, Mariemont or Kenwood Theatres.

Just no. It's not fair to the people around you. It's not fair to us (our concessions sales pay the bills). It's not fair to our staff who have to clean up after you. If you love movies and the movie theater experience, please don't be this person.
