    It's an older location (I think) it this AMC is probably my favorite because it's convenient and compact. The recliner seats and setting is spacious and I love the soda/Icee machines. Would definitely recommend.

    April 4, 2026 | Long Beach | After a pink dining experience nearby & walking distance, friends, and I decided to see a movie! Forbidden Fruits was our movie of choice at AMC Marina Pacifica 12! Inside of the Theater | A small selection of seating! The theater was absolutely packed for this particular movie! It was a sold out show, minus the handicap seat next to me, which no one sat in; my handbag! Outside | When you purchase a ticket outside in the center, to the left and to the right are two totally different entrances/buildings, depending upon which theater you're in! Seating | Cozy reclining seats, which I enjoyed! Since we selected seats last minute, we weren't able to sit together, which is completely fine! After all, the entertainment is in front of us on the screen! Restrooms | Neat & tidy! Customer Service | Friendly service with a smile, as well as happily pointed us in the correct direction to our theater! Overall | If in the area, I would easily return to this theater! Plus, there are numerous shops and restaurants nearby! Excellent!

    My favorite movie theater. Plenty of parking. Comfortable reclining seats. Good food and drinks options. Great screen and sound.

    This is one of my go to AMC Theaters. Love having the AMC Stubs pass and seeing a lot of new movies. This location has 2 sides for theaters and a lot of parking in the front and back, though weekends can get a little crowded, especially in the PM. Staff are always really nice and helpful. Theater has been clean when I have gone. Snacks taste fresh. Not a huge fan of the new cookies but will always love some popcorn (especially only paying $5 for a large with the popcorn pass for the year) and pretzel bites.

    This movie was awesome

    2026 Review. Tried the bar for the very first time. We looked through the menu and found assorted alcholic beverages. Once we know what we wanted, we walked up to the counter where we were greeted. Ordered a Michelob Ultra and specialized drink called Hail Mary, in reference to the movie with Ryan Gosling. Our drinks were served in a a few minutes. The bartender made it to perfection. Cold and refreshing. I am going to do this more often. The prices are not bad at all. Its like going to a regular bar like hooters. I always assumed the prices were going to be outrages like Disneyland. I was wrong all this time. Affordable drinks and they were delicous. Definitely come back.

    This might be my favorite theater in Long Beach! I've had average experiences at Cinemark at the Pike and Regal Edwards at Towne Center, but I like that AMC 12 is somewhat tucked away in the plaza and finding parking was easy on the weeknights when I went to see the 25th anniversary showings of Lord of the Rings. Since I'd pre-bought my tickets on Fandango, all I had to do was check which auditorium I was in, have the QR code scanned, and take my seat. The associates were friendly and made finding my way easy. I've only been in auditoriums 5 and 6, and both are very spacious - even fully reclined, there's at least 2 feet in front, making it easy for others to navigate to their seats. Something interesting about the layout is that instead of an incline like many places, i.e. going up as you head to the back of the theater, these are mostly level. The handicap seats are actually in the rear instead of the front. Surround sound is excellent and truly made the viewings feel immersive. If I had to nitpick, the first showing I attended I could briefly hear the vacuum next door. They also seem to keep the temperature moderately warm, which I actually don't mind since I get cold easily, but dress accordingly if you run hot! Ladies' restroom is to the left and men's restrooms are to the right for auditoriums 5 and 6.

    First time back since renovation, which I believe was only done on one side. I love the new recliners, and theater.

    Is there white cherry in the slushy machine?

    Does this have heated seats?

    Unfortunately no heated seats at this location

    Do they have recliner chairs?

    yes

    Is this a Dolby AMC Theater? Will 1917 be on a special Dolby presentation?

    Unfortunately, this is not a Dolby Cinema location. https://www.amctheatres.com/movie-theatres/los-angeles/amc-marina-pacifica-12

    Is it cheaper on certain days?

    Yes it is if you are an AMC member!

    Do they check bags?

    No they don't check bags. They also have the best popcorn...always fresh and hot

    Are the stadium theatres handicap accessible?? My mom uses a walker and I'm not sure if there's ramps inside the theatres or only steps..

    Yes most theaters are handicap accessible! I know there are elevators that take you up to the handicap seats and most all have ramps large enough for wheel chairs or walkers .

    What time is alcohol served?

    As far as I know as soon as they open....

    Any recommendations on food to order for the dine in?

    Flatbread pizza is pretty good

    Is this amc a dine in theater?

    There's a big variety of food you can order from the concession stand, however it's not like the theaters where you order food from your seat and they bring it to you. They also offer alcohol.

    Are all theatres at Marina Pacifica equipped with recliner seats?

    Yes, they recline back to where you could fall asleep (My friend did). We were in row C and it wasn't too close for the movie. Enjoy!

    Did I mention they have reserved seating so you don't have to go to the theatre 30 mins early to get good seats?!

They've a waterfront location with the most lush environs and sumptuous atmosphere. Dark & tranquil with a hint of sexy and the bay views - come on now. The menu is so fresh and bursting with Asian flavors, and nothing was too heavy. Do try the hoisin ribs - so tender - and the chicken wraps, which were so bright; the burger was also a hit. For the table, the Buddha Rice - hearty and perfect to split. Their staff was all fantastic and it starts at the top. Manager Joe brings a genuine touch to every guest encounter -- he's rich for conversation, so grab him when he makes his rounds and allow him to suggest a fantastic wine pairing. Beautiful service all around. Also worth noting: while they're perfect for enjoying date night, they can easily accommodate larger groups as well. It may have been a rehearsal dinner or joint bachelor/ette they were hosting, but either way, they were entertaining a large party who were also having a blast. Wonderful energy, great vibes. Looking forward to visiting with friends soon!

    First off, I want to say the manager and the receptionist was outstanding, best service I've had in…read morea while, and our server was awesome, they were friendly, genuinely nice and they really enjoy their job, very attentive, efficient and courteous. Ambiance is nice, very romantic by the water, you can see the sunset while enjoying cocktails or a glass of wine. Food was good, I had the miso glazed mahi-mahi, I would prefer a side of salad instead of 2 cups of mashed potato, sauce was a little on the sweet side for my taste. My husband had the Scottish salmon, and he cleaned his plate, the sweet potato hash w/ pancetta was yummy.. it enhanced the taste of the salmon. My sister in-law had the pan seared scallops, I also think that the side should be optional instead of rice and there was only a few pieces of the scallops. My brother his friend had the Wasabi crusted filet mignon, which they've enjoyed but also should have options for the sides, not everyone like mashed potato, the mushrooms was a bit salty, maybe better with shitake & asparagus. We have the calamari and warm fried brie which were delicious :) Maybe they can add the fried tofu as an appetizer instead of brussels, just a suggestion. I've had the Tahitian Sunset which was too sweet for my taste but you can taste the flavor of the passion fruit , the strawberry fields was better, maybe next time I will try the cucumber crush... I will highly recommend this place, you will definite enjoy yourself with a singer/band performing while you enjoy the food.

    This place is honestly a joke…read more We waited in line for almost 2 hours while security kept people outside for no reason -- and when we finally got in, there was so much open space inside. It wasn't even close to full. They're clearly holding people outside on purpose to create fake hype, which is honestly pretty messed up. You're telling me dozens of people are stuck waiting forever while there's plenty of room inside? It's giving manufactured crowd and poor management. To make it worse, they stopped serving drinks and turned the lights on at 1:15 AM, way earlier than literally any normal bar. So after wasting hours in line, you barely even get time inside. And it somehow gets worse -- at 1:35 AM they were literally kicking people out of the restroom. We weren't even allowed to finish or wash our hands before being rushed out. That's not just rude, it's straight up unhygienic and disrespectful. Overall, completely overhyped, disorganized, and not worth the wait at all. Don't fall for the line -- it's fake.

    This review is only for their salsa/bachata dancing night and the bar…read more The bungalow has weekly salsa/bachata nights that include free dance lessons from 8 to 9:30. The instructors are great and the crowd is fun diverse (in terms of age, background, and experience dancing). The djs are also awesome play a lot of good music. The vibe is fun and high energy. It's nice to see a place that is filled with dancers of all skill levels just having fun and learning to dance. The venue itself is beautiful. They have a large open air dance floor that overlooks the marina as well as a smaller dance area inside near the pool tables. The decore is classy and elegant overall. On salsa nights they have drink specials in addition to the regular drink menu. Lastly I once lost my key fob there and someone returned it to their lost and found. I'm forever grateful to whomever returned it and the staff at the front door / lost and found. Overall it's an awesome place to come out and hang out and dance.

He was attentive and warm, making us feel completely taken care of even with a packed house. :) Amanda was helpful and on top of everything, and Abe, one of the managers, always has a quiet, steady competence about him that makes the whole place feel grounded. The team works together beautifully. And the food! Gorgeous, generous portions, hot and perfectly executed even during the rush. Steve and I love Palapa. The Palapa team makes it feel like home (if home was overlooking the marina with palm trees in the foreground and people bringing us delicious food we didn't have to make ourselves). :)

Every single time I needed something, whether it was to order or ask for the check, I had to go up to the bar when my server was there to ask cuz I already waited hella. She was super nice so no complaints in that regards, just not good at checking in with our table at all. Even getting a menu took forever. Idk if it's cuz they're short staffed but the service def needs to be improved. The poke was well seasoned and fish was fresh. Great shareable item. I would come back again cuz I liked my friends drinks that I tried (def would not get the lavender yuzu martini again), the food, and the outdoor seating vibes. Docking stars for service and cuz how bad my martini tasted. Hopefully it's a better overall experience next time.
