Off center to the right there's a 6 partially hidden behind a palm tree. That is the theater entrance.

Mann Pierside 6 Cinemas in downtown Huntington Beach, California on Pacific Coast Highway near Main Street is closed now but was located in the Pierside Pavilion building. It has a second floor theater entrance with elevator or outdoor stair entry, next to Spark Woodfire Cooking (known for Italian food and 30 types of martinis). You must pay a fee to park in the Pierside garage to see a movie but the garage directly across Walnut is a city-operated facility that you can park at free to watch your movie with a validated parking ticket at Mann Theatres (see parking chart.) Pierside Pavilion garage is operated by MPI Modern Parking, Inc.

Also next door is Fred's Mexican Cafe with rock 'n roll music, margaritas, beers and cocktails, pool tables and great Mexican food. Downstairs is Gallaghers Irish Pub with live bands and Irish music many nights. Also in the building are Subway, Asian food, candy stores, smoothies and ice cream, Hot Dogs, an art gallery, Curves, a nail salon, Huntington Surf & Sport, the Surfers' Hall of Fame with a statue of Duke Kahanamoku and Poseidon Billiards.  Seldom will you see a more lovely theater next door to several restaurants with cocktails, sunset views and the Pacific Ocean across the street. You can also shop in the same building at the huge Huntington Surf and Sport store.

Mann Theatres operates this theater much in the style of its Hollywood counterparts. Reflecting the local culture, it features a monthly Surf Film night, often with live music and entertainment, guest appearances from local surf film producers and actors and the promoters. You can find the surf film schedules usually on HUNTINGTONBEACHEVENTS as well as movies appearing.
