AMC 600 North Michigan 9

I won’t be going to AMC theaters in the future. My wife & I trued to buy a beer only to learn without an ID they wouldn’t serve us, we’re 70 and 69. A little come sense and made a better ID possibly set at 35 and under would help the uneducated. Done with AMC, how absurd.

Love the renovations done to the AMC Michigan Ave theater! Reclining seats never felt so comfy; just have to be careful you don’t fall asleep! The theater is located just off the Magnificent Mile, offering your typical theater dining experience; but the new seating arrangements and process is nice and organized. The seating is assigned, where you purchase a select seat in the screening of choice, which you can purchase online before you head in, or on site. The risk of purchasing on site is that you may not get optimal seating choices, especially if you’re with a large group. Definitely a comfy theater and my go-​to, located a couple minutes from my home. Enjoy!
Best,

Soooo, me and my lady went here last night for the first time. First impressions… it was hot as hell in the building, on the first 2 floors At least lol like uncomfortably hot. Hotter than outside. Shit was crazy
But it eventually got cool, gladly the air was on when we got to the floor where the movie was.
I would give this place 5 stars cause the seats were comfortable as hell, and the staff was nice, but our food was fucked up.
We ordered some mozzarella sticks and they looked terrible, presentation sucked ass.
We took them back after the movie & instead of getting a refund, we got a free movie pass, so I guess that’s cool.

An improvement over what it was before, for sure. The wide reclining seats with small tables are nice, and being able to get food delivered to your seat is pretty cool. And they have Coke Freestyle machines! I like to mix regular & diet, which strikes a good compromise between flavor and calories (especially at movie theater Double Gulp-​like sizes).
Things I’m not in love with:
* Prices are on the high side. I expect to pay more at a place like this because of the seats (they’re wider & further apart, meaning more comfort but also fewer seats for the theater to sell) and it’s not EGREGIOUS but it’s a bit painful. It wouldn’t be so bad if they didn’t still charge $ 1.50/ticket for a «convenience fee» of buying online. In 2016, buying tickets online should be the default!
* Bathroom: When we got out of the movie, the men’s room trash can was overflowing with paper towels onto the floor. They also have the annoying hand dryers built into the sinks, but fortunately they also provide towels so you can just skip them.
* Cup holder: This one comes down to attention to the detail. The little tables at the seats have cup holders built in… but they do not fit large drink cups!
* Smaller size: The screens here run on the small side. If you like seeing those summer blockbusters on a huge screen, this may not be the place for it. It’s more like a really big home theater.
Overall, I give this place 3.5 stars, rounding up for giving them the benefit of the doubt.

$ 17 for 3D and lounge chairs. I couldn’t get comfortable in the lounge chair. My legs kept falling asleep. No one cleaned up after the prior screening so there was garbage at seat.
I had trouble buying tickets from the automated machine and I kept asking for assistance. The worker kept texting on his phone and telling me I needed to try again on the automated machine instead of getting off his phone and actually doing some work. After the third time, he finally put down his phone to do his job.

I’ve never been to a luxury theater before, and I was amazed from start to finish. Ok, maybe I’m exaggerating a little bit, but this place is still really cool. You can order food and drinks from the concession stand and have it brought straight to you in the theater. In the theater, you have these luxurious reclining couches so that you can kick your feet up and settle in. And then you have the tables that are attached to these couches where you can put your food, so no awkward holding of the nachos in your lap while you eat.
There was a wider array of food selections than you find at your typical theater, ie. sushi and burgers along with your normal concession food: mozarella sticks, popcorn, etc. And it looks like they have a bar lounge area too, almost like what you would find in an airport lounge.
Awesome place, wish we had this back home.

Great location in Streeterville. Very clean, nicely kept theater. They have all the typical AMC food options, and also have a bar and you can bring drinks into your movie. Tickets are around $ 12 for evening shows. They are located in a complex next to a bowling alley (Lucky Strike) and arcade place (FTW) for fun before/​after the movie.

Standard AMC Theaters housed in a 3 (or 4) story building. You can purchase tickets on the ground floor via automated machine, or 2^nd floor at a ticket counter. This is an assigned seating type of movie house with leather reclining chairs. Didn’t try the concessions stands so can’t opine on that but it looked and smelled good as per norm. Clean restrooms as well as theater floors. A-​OK.

Okay, I have never been to a theater with reclining seats before (mostly because I don’t go to theaters much in the first place – I’m more of a curl up on the couch with a blanket and a movie streaming on my Mac kinda girl) but WOW these babies are the way to go! There’s seriously NO other way to watch a film.
The seats are cushy, leather, spacious, and can recline at varying degrees, so you can decide what’s good for you. I really had such a pleasant experience here watching Deadpool. Best part is the theater is right next door to Eataly so you can get gelato after!

I’ve been here sveral times and each time I’ve been in a theater that has reclining sofa-​like seats, which are very comfortable.
The only con about this theater is when you get your tickets you buy a specific seat — which means you can’t just decide to go to a popular movie last minute and expect to sit with your group or get good seats. On the bright side though, if you do reserve your tickets in advance you don’t have to show up until right before the movie.
There is a bar inside the theater where you can grab a drink while you wait if the show you want to see is sold out or you aren’t able to sit with your group.

Why would I ever go to any other movie theater?!
This is so far my favorite theater. You can buy your tickets online and reserve your seat. The seats are really comfortable, reclineble and they have trays for your drink and popcorn. Very roomy plus great quality screen and sound system.

Unlike its sister gazillion-​screen movieplex a few blocks away, this AMC is a great place to see movies. Since opening 15 years ago, they have remodeled twice, and I think they finally have a winner with a compact layout so you aren’t walking a quarter-​mile to your theater, pre-​reserved power reclining seats and a decent food selection.

Well the movie theatre experience just got taken up a notch. I tagged along with my friend and her roomie to catch a movie. The tickets were bought ahead of time, so we headed straight up the escalators. Along with showing our tickets, we also had to show ID. Not sure if they do this for everyone or because it was a R movie (and if so, damn, I look close to 18?).
My friend and I headed to the bar (is this a thing now?) and I got a craft beer in a plastic cup. We then headed to our theatre, which was a ways away. Here’s where things got a bit confusing: while the aisles are labeled, the seats are not. We had to try and count to figure out where we were supposed to be. Not easy to do in the dark! Once seated, though, it was awesome. The reclining chairs were super comfy and went pretty far back. There’s also a tray for your food and drinks. Legit.
It’s been a hot minute since I’ve been to the movies, but this theatre gives me incentive to go more often.

Best movie theater ever! Theatres in the south simply arent as classy as this! I love the seats! I could curl right up in them and recline. The quality of the screen was impeccable as well as the sound! I love the food and the bar here too. Its almost like a mini restaurant. Props to AMC! Seriously! Ordering tickets ahead was the wisest course of action.

This place has had an amazing makeover, much like the Regal Webster Place. DAAAAYUMMMMMM!
— BEST RECLINERS IN TOWN — the armrest on these can flip up and make a love seat.
— Tons of food options
— Alcohol
— Super Cheap matinée prices
You can have food brought in by a server, though I’m not sure what food that is. I didn’t take advantage of it.
Validated garage parking is $ 15 or 16, you can usually do a little better with SpotHero in this hood. I saved $ 2 or so.
Buy tickets in advance, especially on a holiday. These renovated theaters have limited seating and they seem to sell out or nearly sell out more easily.

Ok. It’s a movie theatre. Positives: location, right off the mag mile in walking distance to lots of restaurants and shops. Friendly ticket sales agents, ability to purchase tix online and print at kiosks. Screens and audio are good too.
Cons: those darn seats. While they recline, they are very uncomfortable because they have those darn trays that can be retracted or anything. I don’t know if anyone has ever cleaned them. It makes you feel like you are in an elementary school desk

This theater is one of the better places to see a film in Chicago. The theater has recently undergone a nice renovation, which outfitted the theaters with new reclining leather seats. The seats are very much made for two people, which is nice if you come with a date or in even numbers, but is a little bit uncomfortable otherwise in my opinion. I wish that the middle arm rest was also doubled to provide a little bit more space when you aren’t with someone you know.
The theater’s update also came with a new menu as well. The food here has been solid for the most part. You can order burgers, hot dogs, doughnuts, brussel spouts, and milkshakes among other things. Popcorn and your candy favorites are also available as well. You still order the gourmet food at the counter, but like fancier theaters, the food will be delivered to your seat whenever it is ready. It is a nice touch, but can be a little bit frustrating when other guests sit in the improper seats.
Sometimes the theaters are not the best cleaned. For example, sometimes there is spilled popcorn or candy wrappers left behind from the last movie. But, all in all, it is a pretty fantastic theater.
When I want to see a movie, this is usually the first place I check.

My favorite place to watch a movie.
The theaters aren’t too big so get your ticket early. The seats are assigned too, which is great! You can choose your seat online or when you purchase your ticket at the door. The super comfy chairs recline and they can bring food right to your seat.
Make sure you are sitting in the right seat. It’s hard to find the seat numbers.

The best theatre in the city. You can buy your tickets ahead of time online, and pick your seat so you don’t have to get there super early to save seats. And those seats… oh my god are they amazing. Large, comfy seats that recline! Each one has their own arm rests too. There’s also some decent looking food in their restaurant (never had it but looked good).

Decided we wanted to see a movie so looked up the closest movie theatre on Unilocal of course. Decided on a movie and bought the tix on line. Really easy to find good selection of the usual movie snacks and one thing I liked is that they offered you a cup so you could get some water if you weren’t buying a soda 2 thumbs up for that. Seats were recliners and super comfortable bathrooms were cool the same faucet where you wash your hands also had a hand dryer built in too how cool is that ! If I lived here I would definitely go here to see a movie. Tickets were about $ 15 each
Check it out !

Like many other things in this part of Chicago the address is deceiving. It may be in the building of 600 N Michigan but the entrance to this theater is actually at the corner of Ohio and Rush, not off of Michigan at all.
You can buy tickets from machines on the first floor or just take the escalators up to the 2^nd where you can get in line for an attendant and buy tickets there. The theaters are full of reclining seats. This is the first time I’ve ever seen this. We used to have AMC in Toronto but not anymore and I can safely say they don’t have these at regular theaters in Toronto.
Seating is assigned and you get to choose from a map of the theater floor which seats are available to pick. Obviously like all reserved seating the middle seats are the first to go because they offer the best view of the screen. The recliners are in pairs and if you’re so inclined you can move up the middle armrest just like a plane.
Movies are movies depending on what you watch but the seats here are special. You can control how much you recline with a button on the side which goes right and left and the recliner is powered so you can set how much you recline and it will stay in a mid recline if you so chose.

One word, the seats!!! I cannot get enough!
I love this theatre.
Although I’m new the the assigned seats thing here — it’s still great!

I have always been a fan of this theater due to the location and the selection of movies, however, this theater was way overdue for a makeover.
AMC 600 is almost completed with the makeover. From the lobby, concession stand, restrooms, bar area, and common public area this place is incredible. Even though, this is multiple level theater, all of the theaters are easy to obtain.
All of the theaters have these large reclining chairs. The armrest can be raised so you can snuggle up with your movie goer providing you know that person. These chairs are so comfortable, a person could fall asleep.
Just like many other theaters, you have the options to pre-​purchase your tickets with assigned seating which is a great idea. I like a certain area of the theater so I buy those tickets so when I arrive the seat (s) will be waiting for me. For those complain about the assigned seating… two words… plan ahead.
AMC 600 is my preferred theater, however, I will trek over to AMC 21, if I have to.
