The theater is very clean , the staff was friendly and the prices for the movies and extras wasn't outlandish. It beats going downtown, worrying about parking and coughing up a lung to afford it all!

Tommy Smalls

I’m so glad this theater was brought back. I grew up watching so many movies here. Prices are better than any theater in the city . Good drinks and themes for certain movies . And it’s very clean !

Darius Bright

Get there early if your going to a early evening weekend movie . They still have not figured out how to move a crowd thru fast enough. I got it, 2 ticket agents and more people at concessions

Oscar Garcia

The Groupon for this place is amazing. Look for it; admission, two popcorns , and two drinks for about 15 bucks. Win.

Melony Reed

For my first time visit it was not pleasant. Arrived to purchase tickets early and waited additional 20 minutes in concession line . Only one person working ticket booth and concession .

David Weathersby

To me this is the perfect sized theatre. Love the bar too

Kay D

Great first day opening! Comfy seats . Get there early as there are long queues to validate tickets bought online

I could overhear other movie playing in my theater. This place was a good idea but the space is too small for a theater.

Avi Schwab

Getting your tickets can take some time (even if you pre-order) so be sure to arrive at least 20 min early.

Georgette Moore Connell

Small theaters but they serve alcohol which is a definite plus.

Oronde Robinson

Groupon has two tickets, two medium popcorns , two medium drinks, and a designated a candy for $20.

Scott Sachnoff

All shows before 6:00 p.m. are only $6.00. 10% discount at nearby Clarke 's with ticket stub.

Ash FS

It's all about the matinees and discounts . $2 well scotch .

Scott Sachnoff

Matinée prices now up to $7.00 and they don't open till 3:45pm on weekdays.

Chris Natoli

Best bar on 53rd st. Strong mixed drinks

Akita

This place is super small. No security present. My husband walked through and no one stopped him. It wasn't that clean , there were missing numbers on the seats which makes it hard to find your seat.

John Broccardo

More affordable theater in chicago, not a huge selection of movies .

Sarah

Get a cup of Metropolis for your movie !

Erik Wilson

The matinee is $6 before 6pm. Nice!!

Sarah

Movie stub gets you 10% off at nearby Clarke 's.

Akita

Only one person available to purchase tickets from. A fight almost broke out and staff was no where to be found. Theatre feels like your in a tight bedroom with to many chairs. Won't be back!

Ryan "Gio" Hodge

The concession stand is super slow... plan for it!

Cassandra Dixon

My first time here since they reopened. Disappointed because the theater was filthy from the last movie ...no one bothered to clean afterwards. Did get a manager.

ryan morton

Theatre is still open during construction .

Melony Reed

Not enough staff , theatre seats were extremely tight and uncomfortable. I'll continue to go to AMC theatre.

Akita

They won't give you a refund!! I don't like the place why would I want a complimentary ticket to come back!?!
