Welcome to the (walk)-in
The Lyric is a locally-owned Fort Collins institution — three intimate indoor screens plus a towering outdoor screen and stage, all wrapped in an eclectic mural-covered patio. It's part cinema, part live music venue, part art gallery, and the whole place doubles as an event space.
The outdoor movie theater provides ample space to spread out and enjoy the sunset views. Ample free parking and close to downtown Fort Collins. Capacity is 700.
There's an on-site lot, but it fills up fast on show nights — get there early. If it's full, overflow parking is available along Hickory or Conifer Street just north of the venue. The employee lot to the west of the outdoor screen is strictly off-limits (they will tow).
Please see these policies provided by the Lyric for more FAQ & parking information:

Relax, enjoy yourself... and be responsible
The on-site café/bar pours NA drinks, craft beer, wine, and cocktails, plus coffee, espresso, and bubble tea. Food-wise it's counter-service pizza and finger foods that travel well from the bar to your lawn spot. No outside food or drink is allowed, but concessions are available both indoors and out, so you can grab a beer and walk it right to your seat on the grass.
Uber and Lyft both operate throughout Fort Collins, and there's a taxi stand nearby too — cheaper and easier than risking a DUI on College Ave.
Several hotels sit within a couple miles, mostly clustered around Old Town and CSU — a short rideshare from the venue.
Horsetooth Reservoir Campground, about 15 minutes west of Fort Collins, has 149 sites (RV and tent) plus cabins, open year-round — book ahead to be certain.
