Accessibility
Arrival – The Roxie is 1.5 blocks from the 16th St BART stop. The sidewalks are fairly smooth, and the curbs have cuts for easier mobility whether you’re on wheels or on foot. The challenge at the Roxie is the slope into the front doors which is on the steeper side. It is nice to have someone assist a person in a wheelchair getting up the slope but it can be navigated without assistance.

As of March 2021, both the Big Roxie and the Little Roxie have automated push-button door opening functionality. The Big Roxie has buttons on the inside and outside, and currently the Little Roxie has a button on the inside.

Seating – All ADA seats are marked with blue signs.

The Roxie has two wheelchair accessible spots with reserved ADA companion spots next to them. The outside armrests of these two companion seats can be lifted up.

There are 4 other ADA accessible spots on the edge of the rows with more leg room. These spots are located 1/3 way down the rows of seats in the middle on both aisle sides of the auditorium with very good views of the screen.

Bathrooms – As of December 2020, the Big Roxie now has an ADA compliant, wheelchair-accessible bathroom, with touchless faucet and soap dispenser, in addition to a smaller, non-ADA bathroom. All bathrooms are gender neutral. Frameline does not use the Little Roxie.

The Roxie Theater has assisted listening devices and closed captioning devices available at concessions.
