    Outside of the theater

    We came here to see Jaws and had a frustrating experience. At the front, we were told twice that the theater and seats had changed, so we went to the new location. Once the movie started, Fantastic Four came on instead. We went back to ask again, and this time someone else told us it was actually in the original theater (7). By the time we got there, the movie had just started. Over all the theater was fine but the lack of direction and the confusion that came from the staff was unprofessional. A few other patrons of the theater were also confused and someone had to leave jaws to see fantastic four and they missed the start of there movie as well.

    This theater has been renovated with the big recliner seats and lots of leg room - much more comfortable. To do this, they sacrificed a lot of the seating capacity, so now many auditoriums have very few seats. The screens are decent sizes, but only few are large, and not as large as I would prefer. Even the IMAX screen seems smaller than others in town.

    MOVIES ARE BACK! bow to Barbenheimer! fairly large movie theater for NYC. relatively clean and well-maintained. variety of theaters from large to small to an IMAX screen. most theaters are upstairs above street level. seats are the comfy reclining ones. overall this is a solid theater to watch summer blockbusters as well as awards favorites. this AMC typically gets a good selection of films beyond the big feature releases. because it's in a residential neighborhood, the theater does get crowded but alas that is New York City. have seen a handful of movies here in 2023. do yourself a favor and download the AMC to buy your tickets and select your seats in advance.

    Nice movie theater in midtown Manhattan with theaters on the 2nd floor and in the basement. The theater was on the small side (only about 7 rows of recliners) but was very comfortable and pretty clean - although the theater staff need to clean in the crevices of the recliners which can accumulate garbage. If you're booking in one of the smaller theaters, then I definitely recommend sitting in the middle of the second to last row.

    Ask the Community - AMC Kips Bay 15

    Does this AMC have parking?

    There's street parking

    Is apple pay accepted?

    No. I've yet to see any AMC accept Apple Pay. In fact, 99% of the time, their machines won't even take a chip. You have to slide it the old fashioned way and sign the slip.

    Is row A in the recliner right at the very front of the screen? I was looking to book a movie in theater 1, but only row A was available, and I'm worried it's too close to the screen.

    It is so right up there. My neck didn't hurt afterwards but it was enough to have to recline my seat.....all the way.

    Do all the theaters have reclined seating?

    All except the Imax

    Do the 3d theaters have recliner seats?

    Yes! When I went to see the Black Panther movie in 3D, the room I was seated in had recliner seats. I am unsure if every room is set up the exact way.

The mozzarella sticks said 5 of them but we got four of them. They were good none the less. ::bathroom alert:: Very clean bathroom. I was very happy about this because I had just ate. There was tons of soap, it smelled nice in there. The beer and shot special under $10 in the city? Haven't seen that in awhile. The beers are super cheap here as well. They feel like old NY prices! Can't complain. They have four booths in the back maybe it was three. I did notice one of the hanging lights was from an 80s pizza hut joint. Letting you know now the paper towels for your face at the table felt like jail toliet paper, very rough. The bar doesn't have bar stools with backs! You either need to get one or two tables by their mini kitchen, very hot there not recommended for preimenopause or menopausal women or one of the booths. This is a great bar they played 60s music a lot. Heard some weird al too! Very random and fun place to be. The bartender was nice as well as security! Try the burger! Worth the $9!!

    We enjoy local bars ! And this bar was perfect for us to wind down with a couple of drinks…read more Great deals and not over crowded. Quick service. We are low key couple and enjoy supporting local businesses. They do offer food but we only wanted a couple of drinks. They have some booths available if you come w friends. So if you just need to wind down stop by local 42 for a drink or two!

    This place has so much potential it's honestly a little offensive that it's not living up to it…read more Like... you walk in and you feel like something should be happening. The energy is right there, hovering, but it never actually lands. It's giving "almost iconic" but not quite--like a party that never fully starts. And that's what gets me. Because this bar could EASILY be that spot. The kind people plan their week around. Where are the themed nights? Where's the drama? The chaos? Give me a reason to come back on a random Wednesday. Do a city-event tie-in, a holiday takeover, literally anything that makes it feel alive instead of just... existing. Because right now it feels like a missed opportunity wearing a cute outfit. BUT--let's talk about the one thing they absolutely did not fumble: the view. The VIEW??? Insane. Genuinely stunning. The kind of view that makes you pause mid-sentence and remember you're in New York and not just spiraling in your own life choices. It's carrying the entire experience on its back, respectfully. So yeah. I'd come back... but mostly for the view and the potential. If they ever decide to actually do something with this space? It could be dangerous (in a good way). Until then, it's vibes... just not fully realized ones.

The view is gorgeous and sweeping. The service is attentive and professional. The drinks are sophisticated. I ended up here because I saw a video about their gin and tonic. Sounds simple, but it's one of my favorite drinks, and I'm always looking for someone who can do it well. I ordered their "dear G&T" and it was a fruity, complex riff on my old favorite. I also got the foreign forage, "a bourbon smash with a mint zing." It was also a delicious take on a classic. They have several types of cocktails, all broken down by spirit and flavor profile. They also offer a lot of spirits made in New York State. They have cocktails with earthy notes, fruity notes, fancy martinis, and a section boasting limited edition and special spirits, if you're "feeling fancy" and wanna cough up 35 bucks instead of 20 or 25! They have a bar snacks menu (sliders, nuts, and the like). I had their thick cut fries and they were light, seasoned, and tasty. I couldn't stop eating them. Midtown or not, I highly recommend this spot, which also has a couple other locations, including Gramercy.
