    The primary hallway for auditoriums 1-5
    Eric A.

    If you're reading this review you probably love movies. You want to go see a movie - and somehow your phone gave you showtimes to this AMC CLASSIC Mill Plain 8 and there are a few things you should know. The building that holds these 8 screens used to be the most luxurious and fine dining movie experience out there. I saw Avatar here back in 2009 and with the sequel having just come out, I often think back to the miraculous movie experience that used to be here. Imagine 21+ only screens with food service to your seat, adult beverages, a full service restaurant just outside the auditorium and wine tasting galore. It was so fancy at the time that I was mad that I lived in New York City. WTF. MY hometown of Vancouver gets this amazing facility, and I get boring ass stadium seating with AMC or Regal in Manhattan? Should I move home? First and foremost, to the people working at the Mill Plain 8 right now, you guys are the underdogs of the entire cinema going experience . You're the Mighty Ducks of movie theater employees. You're doing your best with what you have, and the folks at AMC, aren't giving you much. Let's start with the good. I saw a movie in Theater 6, and it retained heat. I had a winter coat with me and I didn't really need it. To top that off there was a screen at the front of the room and it was white. When light was passed through a projector, it shined an image onto the screen, and the screen was free from rips or tears - so a big visual win. The speakers around the room also worked pretty well. What probably was surround sound was had by all, but as I was seated a little lower in the room you may not get as much rear speaker action. Yet this sound issue is going to be the least of your worries. From the outside, the building is definitely worn. The actual box office is a storage area, and closed, so you gotta buy your ticket from concessions. Well I used the AMC app so I was one step ahead. Once upon a time, the food and snacks here were top notch. They are just standard AMC run of the mill mediocre movie fare now. The carpet in the primary hallway was nice and the place actually for a moment seemed to be put together. The place was eerily empty. Yet I wasn't quite prepared for my visit to the men's room. Did you ever see the movie Nick and Norah's Infinite Playlist? There is a scene where a young girl, drunk, obsessed with her gum, is in a bathroom stall at Penn Station in New York City. Envision the most public bathroom you've ever seen, updated with the most lack of public funds you've ever seen, then envision this girl dropping her gum into the toilet, and then her trying to fish it out with her hands because she wants it back. I told you, I love movies. So this was the vibe of this men's room. It might technically be clean, but it's clear that its just as important to AMC than public restrooms are to the Penn Station. I found my hand sanitizer and skipped the sink I walked into the area that housed what might be a Bar? I don't know - it looks like one, but nobody is around and nobody cares. A few feet away a few curtains hide a giant empty storage space that used to be a great restaurant. The potential in here is amazing, yet it has been murdered seven times over by a serial killer in a David Fincher movie. While skipping the trailers, since I don't watch them anymore as they spoil too much of the movies, I made it to my seat in the dark as Nicole Kidman welcomed us back to the movies. In the dark, with white light flickering - I could tell that some of these seats were worn out AF, and I didn't even take my assigned seat. As the movie came to an end I noticed how a little bit of paint could help with some of the spots on the walls that so badly need it. My movie was free anyways due to using some AMC Stubs points, but this facility and this theater should be paying people the $8 ticket price to come here. Cinetopia was a dream movie product, until they opened a location near the AMC headquarters in Kansas City, and they played some hard ball with using their corporate leverage to deny the new trendy new Cinetopia location access to first run movies. This goes to court. Cinetopia vs. AMC, and mysteriously the case settles and Cinetopia disappears and their three surviving locations become the AMCs that we have today. I don't know if some AMC executive is Regina George incarnate, but withholding the funds to update these properties is just plain and simply, mean. This was supposed to be a review of the late and great Cinetopia, now masquerading as an AMC, but this really reads more like an obituary. Maybe something can happen and the employees here can make some movie fetch happen, and turn things around. Maybe they make a movie theater mighty ducks storyline about them someday. That would be something - until that happens though, proceed with caution if you come here; wear a diaper.

    This location seats remind me of 90s vintage seating. No recliners, no luxury leg spaces. Just older seats that slightly tilt backward. The seating is of an older material but comfy still. I enjoyed the location for a quick cheap place to go. The staff was attentive and recommending services. They have a freestyle machine for drinks. Overall, I did not think the location was as bad as the reviews. My theater was theater 5. So, if your movie is in that theater, it was nice and intimate. The lobby was decent and clean. So was the halls. I will revisit. The parking lot was full so maybe more people go on Sundays.

    Torn seats on every other seat

    I was hoping once AMC bought cinetopia this theater would be renovated. Sadly it hasn't happened and this place is in disrepair. The living room theater seats are broken, torn and wobbly. Carpet is ripped. I'm currently 10 minutes from showtime and we are staring at a black screen. Half of the soda fountain drinks are out of order so they must still have vendor issues. I honestly don't know why you would reopen without getting 100% up to par.

My companion and I had the absolute pleasure of visiting ME Ultra Lounge for the first time Saturday May 16th from about 4PM to 10PM or so. Dolph and his partner were extremely professional, efficient and polite. The service was outstanding. I own several hookah setups and this was the finest smoke I have ever experienced. I had the lemon mint and the staff's expert coal management (coconut charcoals--the best) was precise and allowed the shisha to toast evenly and completely with absolutely no effort on our part. Very kind to the lungs, too. Hookah had a perfect long handled mouthpiece with several one-use interchangeable inserts for multiple users as one prefers. Silicone hose, everything sanitary and in top condition. Great ventilation and atmosphere, nice mix of beats on the sound system which while lively was not intrusive and definitely stimulated conversation and relaxation at the same time. Great selection of flavors and drinks--we had lots of water and Gatorade to rehydrate and the prices were reasonable throughout. I had recently eaten but next time I will sample more of their goodies. Nice dim decor with a low-key disco vibe--lots of interactive lights with music--and plenty of space. We plan on hosting some small social gatherings here in the near future. Small wonder this place has been around over 10 years! Here's to many, many more.

After ordering food and a round of drinks for the group, we sat down at one of the gaming booths, excited to dive in. When I went back to the counter to ask how to start playing, the bartender told me it was $5 per person to access the games and that guests needed to consistently order drinks to maintain access. Honestly, that seemed fair to me. However, things quickly went downhill. I offered to pay the game fee, but was told I needed to buy drinks first. I explained we had just bought drinks--he had literally served us minutes earlier. His response: "You need to have an open tab, and we won't let you play unless you order more." At that point, the experience soured. The staff felt dismissive and unwelcoming throughout the interaction. Despite already spending money, we were denied access to what we came for. We finished our drinks--which, for some reason, didn't count--and left. This was my first visit, and unfortunately, likely my last. (This place had 5-star potential when I first arrived, but the staff interaction left miserable)

Tonight I stumbled into the great deals they have on Thursdays ($5 well drinks, $ off of beer and wine). There's always something. They have board games you can sit and play. Indoor seating, a big outdoor patio with heaters to cut the chilled evenings and umbrellas to give shade. It was busy when we arrived around 7 tonight and stayed busy most of the time we were there. You order at the bar but they will bring your food to you when it's ready. Their menu is decent for a small place. Tonight was the first night I had ever eaten the food. Gluten free options are limited but I got the hot honey pizza on a gluten free crust. It. Was. Delicious. Life changing. I ate the whole thing. It was not a personal pan pizza. The combination of flavors...spicy and sweet and salty...one of the best things I have eaten recently. I might go back tomorrow. This is a local, independent, woman-owned business that makes you feel like you can stay a while and like you should come back again soon. They have discounts for military folks and a special section of their menu for dogs. Highly recommend.

    I am pleasantly surprised by this spot…read more The Margherita pizza was bomb - thin, crisp crust; robust sauce and simple toppings. Only $16 too! Perfect for two people to share. I also ordered the Murdertini. It was a perfect blend of liqueurs and lemon juice.

I ordered a drink of the mixed drinks and my husband got a margarita. The drink was so bad - neither one of us could drink it. I don't think I've ever returned a drink I can't pound before haha. It was 10 minutes before I went home to the bar to ask for something different - no one came by to ask how things were. The guava choice I picked for the second - not good. Watered down flavors of who knows. The drinks at Wahi Hanna are amazing in comparison - especially with the Dole Whip vibe. The spam fries were $9 for half a can of spam cut up and put in the oven with a side of mayo? The loco moco was promising but tasted like something you'd get at Kenjis - not a Hawaiian spot. I feel like with a lot of tweaks in flavor - this could be a great spot.
