10Best Says

The Uptown Theatre is a downtown Napa landmark. Ask any local and they'll have a story to share about an outing to the theatre. Opened in the summer of 1937, it has seen everything from vaudeville to movie screens. Clark Gable and Carol Lombard used to frequent the theater on trips north from Hollywood. In 2000, a local resident and businessman George Altamura bought the old movie house. Along with restoring the theatre's glory and grandeur, with the help of friends like Francis Ford Coppola, he invested in a state of the art sound system, and the Uptown Theatre opened its stage to live performances. The distance from the last row to the stage is less than 100 feet, so there isn't a bad seat in the house.
