    AMC Dine-In Block 37 is what you would expect from a movie theater in the loop area. The AMC is located within Block 37 on the top floor. It's easy to get to as long as the escalators are fully functional (they have elevators so don't worry). Because it's dine-in style they offer you the opportunity to order your food to be delivered directly to your seat. You can order well in advance of your arrival or when you arrive. Be forewarned that they only give you a handful of delivery windows and they sometimes will bring the food out ahead of the time you setup. They'll bring it back out to you when you arrive as long as it's before the movie gets started. I normally only go to this location when everything closer to my house is sold out. The prices at this AMC is unbelievably expense. I've easily been able to calculate an almost $15 to $20 savings for movie tickets. That's before you even add on any food. I truly recommend eating before or after the movie because it's so expensive. The food is okay but not worth the price. My usual movie theater is a dine-in style setup so I can't place the price blame on that feature. It's a very touristy theater so they're used to people visiting that are willing to spend a lot.

    I enjoy both of the movie as well as the theater! I tend to come here a lot but never remember to review this dine in theater. It's always clean and they have great customer service but sometimes it's hard to find people to help. The theater is quiet and great for dates, family nights or solo movie dates. I do really appreciate the fact that not only is the theater itself is clean but the concession stand as well as the bathrooms are always taken care of. Of course like with all theaters, food and snacks are expensive but you do get some discount if you're part of the AMC movie club. Definitely come check out a movie here as well as the food and drinks. They have a full bar and they will make a special drinks for you if you ask.

    Horrible Was giving expire tickets & due to a mishap the last time we were here & was pretty much told unfortunately there's nothing that can be done about it ‼

    This AMC has to be my favorite movie theater to visit in the whole city. It's always clean, never too crowded, and the employees are always very nice and helpful. For me, the big reason I love this theater is the food options. I get the loaded Tater Tots every visit and they never disappoint! They have tons of other dining options, and it's definitely a plus that they bring it to your seat in the theater! The only downside is that it's in the middle of downtown so parking is difficult to find and/or quite expensive. It's also near a play theater, so there's often a lot of traffic near Block 37 depending on the time of day.

    I really enjoyed my time at AMC DINE-IN Block 37. The service was good, and the overall vibe was clean and cozy--especially with fewer people in the theater, which made it feel more homely and relaxed. The reclining chairs were super comfortable and perfect for unwinding. One suggestion: clearer signage or instructions would be helpful. The kiosk said my food would be delivered, so I assumed drinks would be too--but I guess that was my mistake. Just a little clarification there would make things smoother. Since we dealing with machines and not humans. Other than that, great experience! www.carlinecreate.com

    First time here and loved this theater! Good food options that can be ordered ahead of time when I purchased the tickets online and food is delivered right to your seats. Seats fully recline with a raised foot rest and the table swings over your lap for eating. Everything was great!

    Worse scary movie experience ever !

    Worse scary movie experience ever ! Who wants to pay $23 to watch horror with lights on, especially that bright one blaring right in your face ! Totally ruined the vibe. I even got up to ask someone to dim the lights. I get they bring food to your seat but that's only in the first 20 min of movie. *idk how to reply to AMC response, but I did in fact walk out the auditorium to speak with someone about it, he said he would look into it, and the lights still were not dimmed even 1% more

    A very nice theatre at the top of Block 37 mall. No CS agents, only kiosks, but a rep was available at guest services, which was perfect because I needed assistance with my AMC Stubs account. They have a bar and the women's restroom was very clean. Your food gets delivered to your seats, but I appreciated being able to pick up the bag of popcorn we bought. The seats are much larger than the standard ones, reclining and comfortable and these are the best of all of their theatres, I think. They are pricey but all theatres are now. As with others, there are discounts for matinees and most of the earlier times. Great for an occasional outing.

    We were looking for a break from our marathon Chicago walking, and decided to catch a movie. This is a dine in theater, and the seats are really comfortable. They are fully reclining with foot rests, and go back so far, you could literally sleep in them. If you go here before 4pm they offer discounted pricing, I think our tickets were $13. Our theater was small, and even though it was a weekend, there were only a handful of patrons in the entire theater. That's likely because the movie had been out for quite some time, and theaters tend to be slow during the day. That's why we usually go at off times, we find it's quiet and more enjoyable. You can order food at the lobby kiosk and it will be delivered to your seats. Since we had lunch prior, we don't know how the food is here. Seats are assigned, which is always a plus. The theater was clean and looked to be in good shape, it's on the fourth floor of the mall.

    Had a late night viewing of Insidious here and we had a good time. We bought our tickets online and we were surprised when each ticket came out to be $23 each. Not including snacks or anything extra - just the movie ticket. We arrived about 20 minutes before the movie started and the lobby was fairly empty. The employee was nice and scanned us in right away. We then headed to the kiosk and purchased popcorn, tenders, and a drink. Paid about $30 for snacks. Once inside the theater room we sat down and the seats were very comfy. My food slowly started coming out and we dug in. The popcorn and tenders were both really good. The French fries were also good, they were hot and crispy. The movie was great but people were being loud for no reason which was super annoying. I'm not sure why grown people think its ok for them to add their own sound effects... We were too scared to say anything to them because we were in Chicago after all...

    Come here very often to watch movies. Recently I came here to watch Black Bag movie. And order the loaded fries. They are good.

    Ask the Community - AMC DINE-IN Block 37

    Are the movie screens the same size as a traditional theater?

    Old-time theaters- No. Multiplex- Yes, on the larger end of multiplex screens.

    Is the food included or separate when purchasing tickets?

    The food is a separate charge

    Do they ever turn the lights out?

    No, not really. It's kinda annoying actually.

    Does anyone know if they accept the Yellow AMC passes you can buy through Costco?

    What's the best parking?

    There's a parking garage below the ground floor. Have no idea what the price is.

    How early should you be for a movie?

    Usually they start letting people in 15 min before the movie starts.

    Me and a few friends would like to see a movie here, but we are under 18. The movie we want to see is a PG rated movie. Are we able to see the movie without parents?

    Assuming you're in your teens, yes.

The vibe is speakeasy-ish; the entrance is off the street in an alleyway but the interior is very nice, low light, and would be fun for a date night! The staff were attentive and very friendly. My friend got some shots, which were surprisingly good given they were kind of sweet, and I ordered the "mystic lamp" cocktail ($16) which was VERY memorable to me as someone that loves floral drinks -- it was very floral, slightly fruity, and had a lovely chunk of lychee it came with which was delicious! The drink was decent sized too; I've been charged a lot more for much less drink at other speakeasies (those of which I don't plan to visit again any time soon haha). In my opinion, this spot has the perfect combo of great drinks, nice ambiance, cool speakeasy-vibes, but also cheerfulness given the tiki-theme inside. Would definitely rec a visit to anyone visiting Chicago who likes cool bars!

    I can't understand what the fuss is all about here. I couldn't wait to leave…read more This place represents itself as a tiki bar but is the most half-hearted attempt I have ever seen. I was excited for the experience having heard how busy it gets, blah blah. These positive reviewers need to seek out other tiki bars. After you negotiate the alley entrance and go down dangerously dark stairs, you are met with crazy boring decor. I kept thinking there had to be more right? The whole point of a tiki bar is to strike a mood, but hanging a very few polynesian masks on the wall, putting up a grass facade over the bar and dressing the servers in vaguely polynesian outfits is sad. I've seen private tiki bars at people's homes that are more exciting. Add to this a comparably boring music selection played far too loud over boomy lo-fi speakers and you'll wonder what's going on here. So what about the food and drink? Completely uninspired for anyone who's had more than a mai tai before in their life. About a dozen extremely common drink choices is all you get!! No specials, that's it. When I asked if this was the whole cocktail menu, the server said it was but they have a full bar so you can get anything you want. Well, I could get that service at just about any bar in the world, so big deal. Maybe it would be better if you sat at the bar and chatted up the bartender. One could also go taste their rum selections and other cocktails in the Bamboo Room, but I hate that kind of elitist nonsense. That's never been what tiki bars were about. The drinks we sampled were okay at best. Even the namesake 3 Dots and A Dash cocktail was lackluster and used cheap cherries for the dots instead of classic Luxardos. (If you know, you know) The appetizers were okay, but way overpriced. 5 tiny spring rolls for $18. Come on guys, enough already. I'd rather go to the bar at the Polynesian Hotel at Disney than return here. This place is a hard pass.

It's a reasonably-priced busy dive bar in the heart of Chicago. I asked the bartender if she had a beer + shot deal and she said "no, but you can order a beer and shot." And so we did! Noise level is fairly high, thanks to a lively crowd plus a jukebox. They don't normally serve food but I think are fine with customers bringing in your own food, and you can also place an order from a nearby restaurant (I don't recall which one). And yes, it's cash only so bring some money if you don't want to pay ATM fees! 4 out of 5 Green Stars for social and environmental impact. I like bars that allow customers to bring (or order) their own food - it allows for all diets! The one thing I'd like to see is more beer on tap - even just one good rotating local beer (e.g., Goose Island). Draft beer has smaller environmental footprints compared to bottled or canned.

After a quick ID check at the door, the bouncer let us know it's cash only (thankfully we came prepared). From the moment we walked in, dim lighting, loud music, and shoulder-to-shoulder crowds gave the vibe of a full-on frat party, but not in a bad way. It's chaotic, energetic, and unapologetically no-frills. There's even a self-serve cooler with drink prices clearly listed underneath. I grabbed a Sapporo Premium, brought it to the counter, and our friendly bartender broke our change and offered a chilled glass to pour it into. Simple and efficient. That said, it was loud, so loud that even whispering-distance conversations were a struggle. The space is small, seating is limited, and since we couldn't snag a spot, we ended up leaving shortly after finishing our drinks. This feels like a better weekday hang than a packed weekend night. Still, if you're looking for a classic, gritty, no-frills dive experience, Rossi's delivers exactly that.
