In my hood = Very good! Old school feel = Curb appeal! Newish flicks = Super slick! Cheap tickets = Jiminy Crickets! Cheap candy = Now that's dandy! read more

Let me just start off by saying that I live around the corner. So just for convenience purposes I started out with giving this place four stars. There's nothing nicer than rolling out of bed and walzing over to see a newish movie for relatively cheap. Which brings me to the 5th star. This is the best place for what this theater is offering. They just redid the bar, it's adorable. Everything is new and clean. It's not IMAX, it might not have a crazy surround sound system, and the theaters themselves aren't huge, BUT who wants that in their neighborhood? For a neighborhood theater, this place is PERFECT! Cheap tickets, good popcorn, cheap beer, clean theaters, and best of all, you can bring your drinks from the bar into the theaters. It's cleaner than the Vic's Brew & View and it's cheaper than that theater on Roosevelt that offers a similar situation. read more

So after searching through multiple theaters . We decided to throw my son's 10th birthday at the Logan. Let me explain a little bit more. My son has special needs and most of his friends has special needs so it is very hard for us to find places to go where we don't get stared at or treated differently. The Logan was one of the most accommodating place ever. I cannot rave enough about them from their sales staff to their concessions staff the manager everyone was top-notch. Our friends as well as I will definitely be back to book another party. P.S They also gave my son a birthday gift a new Toy Story 4 hat which he loves. read more

Wow. I feel like a tv show called Extreme Movie Theater Make Over came to Logan Square and blessed us with a new theater. I would come to the Logan Theatre to watch movies without losing a paycheck. Now I will be coming here regularly to enjoy the experience of having a nice selection of beers with an affordable movie ticket price. Probably the best part of the changes besides the beers would be the very comfy seats they installed. You might want to bring a pillow, the seats are that spacious and comfortable. read more

I love this place! It seems like ever since I moved to the neighborhood (admittedly this was only in December) they've been showing solid movies, with nearly every Best Picture nominee represented. Last night it was _The Queen_, before that _The Departed_, and _Babel_ (I missed _Dreamgirls_, d'oh!). All for $3 with a medium popcorn and drink costing another $5. Date night for $11, just over the price of a single ticket at a downtown theatre. The suit-wearing staff are very personable as well and the folks shlepping the popcorn put butter in the middle (I call it "internal butter") without even being asked! read more

Love the theater, love the bar, love the recent renovation. Did I mention, great old movies at midnight... of course, I don't know if they are great, because I happen to fall asleep in the comfy chairs if it gets too late, only to wake up with 5 minutes remaining. People are nice there and the first time I went, we happened to be talking with the owner, who was great and easy to talk with. This is what theater should be. Reasonably priced tickets and drinks. I'll take this theater over AMCs and Lowes (Is that still around)? read more

Seats are dirty and slimey and the place smells like piss and popcorn. Sorry logan, I'll spend the extra $6-7 so I won't have to deal with the nastiness. read more

If you can get past the urine and sweaty fat man smell, this is the place to be. Cheap movies and cheap popcorn. Went there last night to watch Iron Man 2 and enjoyed it very much when I could hear above the cackling of the drunk group of girls sitting in the next row. They don't take debit cards: Bring Cash. read more

Easy to get to, cheap, newish movies, get a large soda and it's free refills (sharing rocks!)! It's a nice theatre, good sound, good screen/picture quality, the staff is fairly nice, and it's such a value! read more

Great combo prices n why not a beer right after at the bar ... tickets are reasonable n combos not to expensive

This is for the Friday evening show at 10:15pm when Total Recall played at this theater. I actually work as a bartender and found it extremely disappointing that the standard count pour for the bar at logan theater is a 2 count, i.e. a half ounce of alcohol. Add to this that the "bartender" poured the (top shelf by the way) liquor into a plastic cup--sans ice. Your supposed to pour liquor over ice (using a 5-count for those who wonder) and then use a mixer. These guys must hire those whove gone to a "bartending college" which is clown college for college students who want to be bartenders. I find it odd that a place that charges $7 to watch defunct old movies has to skimp on the liquor for their surplus profit. read more

I hadn't been to the Logan Theatre since it was remodeled, but I was looking to see Silver Linings Playbook this weekend, and it's nearby and the showtime worked perfectly, so off I went! Several of my friends have told me how great it is now, but sometimes you have to see for yourself to really believe it. Holy cats did they do a nice job! To call the pre-renovation Logan Theatre a dump is to put things delicately. It smelled bad, the seats (that weren't completely out of commission) were brutally uncomfortable, and I recall being cold. Well all that has changed. There's a lovely bar, brand new sparkling clean restrooms, a small but more than adequate concessions counter, the theatres themselves are clean and the seats are new and comfortable. I mean, really, what's not to like? Plus, while they may not be showing movies during their opening weekend, they're showing ones that are still in wide release. I am so pleased that the Logan has been brought up to snuff - I will definitely be seeing more movies there! read more

It is my favorite movie place For sure. LOVE being here! Feels just Good. Comfy. I don't really like those big cinemas. Maybe cause I am just a small town girl.... That's why it's perfect For me :) Plus, the Lounge Room is really sweet to. The Groupon got a awesome deal For Logan Teater lovers. I think is $11 For 2 movie tickers and medium popcorn. Enjoy! read more

I don't go to big chain movie theaters, so this is my place for movies! I wish they had more movie choices..but that's what you get with small. It's a super cute prohibition-era theme, and there's a full bar too! I usually get a drink instead of snacks, but they have decently priced food. I really like their icecream selection. They have the usual Thor size candy. (I don't understand why movie theaters can't carry normal-size candy bars???) Tickets are very reasonably priced, and the theater is usually not crowded. We sometimes come for the late night retro movies, which is full of stoners and drunkies, but it's lots of fun. The screen is not huge, but the theater is small, so all the seats are good. read more

I'm just gonna wait out movies until they hit the Logan Theater from now on. Saw Vicky Cristina Barcelona here last night (pretty good movie too). $3 tickets. Mostly empty theater. Small theater, not the gigantic crazy AMC type. It was very nice. My seat was broken but it was only out of sheer laziness on my part that I did not find a new one -- there were a hundred or so empty seats I could have moved to. I didn't visit the concession or the bathroom so I can't comment on those, but I was intrigued by what looked to be a ladies' room with a sitting area of some kind in it. This theater reminded me of going to see cheap movies at the Portage at Six Corners when I was a kid. Once I saw a double feature there -- Heart and Souls and For Love or Money -- with a friend in junior high. Man, it was the best -- two forgettable '90s flicks, going to the movies without parents, etc. Until the man about two seats down began masturbating. That didn't happen at the Logan Theater, so 5 stars! read more

The most magical movie theatre you will ever step foot in (at least until you walk into a movie room). You are immediately transported decades earlier when you're in the lobby and refreshment stands, and everything looks so elegant and fancy. The staff is so awesome, the prices are sooo low, there's alcohol and lounge areas and I just can't say enough good things about this place. I don't even care that the room floors are sticky and that the seats pretty much fold me into them when I sit down. For that low of a price, I would never imagine the place to look so nice when you walk in. Love love love. read more

I grew up (and currently reside) in what is now called "Bucktown" - back then (70's early 80's), the nearest theater was either Logan Theater, or Armitage Theater (long gone). My family, friends and I went to Logan Theater for years, until the Webster theaters of the world started coming along, and until Logan Theater was - well - gross. I returned to Logan Theater to see a film that was part of CIMM Fest - didn't know what to expect, and was very pleasantly surprised at how nice it is! At first I didn't like the seats cause they reclined too much - but once the movie started, I loved them! Love the bar area, small concession stand, comfy chairs to sit and wait for the theater doors to be opened. I may have to start coming back to catch a movie once in a while, I was smitten AND they have matinees! read more

$4 movies. Alright, alright. You might want to hit up Walgreen's on your way because the candy selection is lame but they've got soda and popcorn. And there's a McD's right across the street if you wanna sneak in a McDub or whatever. You're not gonna hear me complaining about this spot. read more

Three cheers for the cheap theatres!!! A dying breed. Just find a seat that's not broken and you're in business!!! read more

Big fan of the Logan Theatre. Why? 1. It's setup as an old fashioned theater, and they recently renovated to accommodate a full service bar / lounge area. You can go hang out in the lounge for food/drinks prior to or after the movie if a given movie time doesn't exactly jive with your schedule. 2. You can take beer into the movie theater itself. Yup. 3. They show virtually any of the current movies that you'd want to see, and they also show a classic movie at 11-midnight on weekends (such as Big Lebowski). Finally - one of the best reasons Logan Theatre is so great, is that you won't have to navigate a sea of kids/teenagers. It's typically filled with all adults, and it's wonderful. read more

Squeaky seats, odd theater angles and cheesy lobby. Those are all the physical characteristics that are wrong with Logan. But you know what I don't care. I love this place. It's so sad that the movies have gone up to 4 bucks but it's still better then paying 3 times as much for a crappy movie. And don't forget the popcorn here is cheaper and tastes just as good as other theaters. Logan allows me to get out of the house and enjoy a movie on the big screen. I will never give up on you. read more

The seats are incredibly uncomfortable, but that's what you pay for an historical interior. The Logan Theater I *believe* is circa 1920's. The place still retains a vintage flapper feel. When you walk in, you'll see a sitting area complete with vintage furniture (think: chaise lounge look) marked "Ladies' Lounge". I love that that kind of swank. Tickets are only $3, and the movies are current, although films won't play here on opening weekends (but who wants to deal with a crowded theater anyway?) Side note: Like most movie theaters, The Logan is cold - so dress accordingly. Also like most theaters, they won't let you bring in left-overs/food, so you may want to consider hitting up El Pollo Loco (4 stars, btw:) after the film. read more

Cute place. Hella cheap tickets. Hella gross theater. It smelled like pee so we moved to the other side of the theater, and it smelled a little less like pee. I'm definitely going again because movie prices are ridiculous these days and I can bike there, but it did just feel a bit filthy. read more

The renovation is very nice. Plus, there's a bar! That's pretty much all it has going... I was excited to see a film here, but the sound was so strange it completely ruined the experience. The sound effects and music were loud enough to make your chair vibrate, but the speaking was so quiet you had to strain to hear it. Hint: don't' sit near the back. The audience kept getting up to get drink refills and, therefore, multiple bathroom trips. Every time someone entered or exit the swinging door squeaked. Drove me nuts! Plus there was a collision in the aisle between two drunkies. Really, is drinking at a theater such a novelty that we lose all inhibitions?? If I were in the hood, I might give it another shot, but I'll stick with my beloved run-down Davis Theater. read more

Aww, the ugly duckling became a swan. I never thought I'd say this, but The Logan is, well..it's gorgeous!! It's just so classy now! I didn't even know it had opened back up until I strolled by it the other day. Have always had respect for this place because it was their for me like a loyal friend, with it's $3 price tag, back in the days when I was on a rice only, or occasionally ramen noodle, kind of budget (I feel an appreciative tear forming in my eye). But now: WOW! The remodel has so elegantly restored it's beauty and charm, and modernized it in all the appropriate ways. It's luxury now, with the perfect touches of vintage here and there. The overpriced Regal Cinema 14 on Western and Schubert better watch out now; I may seldom step foot in there again now that my lovely Logan is back. I went to see Avengers at Regal 14 last weekend; cost more than $30 for two 3D tix; and while that place is reasonably modern, it's a cookie cut theatre with no class whatsoever. The Logan on the other hand: full price is only a mere $7 ($5.50 matinee), and it's nice to see that one could still afford to take their family out for a movie night here. (For comparison: At the Regal, their basic regular price admission is $11.50, matinee is $9.50, and matinee time is any movie before 4pm! Ridiculous, I know.) Thank you Logan, you clean up real purrrty! read more

Three bucks each to get in to see Nim's Island - check. Five bucks for a small popcorn and bottled water - check. Lovely perfect evening with my (almost 4 year old) daughter - nothing short of amazing. Tonight was our little date night and I mentioned the movies to her and her eyes brightened with excitement - so off we went. The theater was really clean, and there were maybe 5 other people watching the movie with us. People were friendly when we came in - parking on Milwaukee was ample - we'll be back for sure! read more

Old school movie theatre with old men in suits and ties as ushers ( maybe also hitmen, or bouncers)....."yea lady dat's showin' on screen tree.." $4 tickets, 4 screens and seats that will make your ass remember the good old days -before the Icon or the multiplex, those ancient times before the invention of the cup holder. I love this place. When I come here I step into the twilight zone, remembering the grungy theaters of my childhood, and I'm happy. read more

super cheap =) smells like urine =( I love the logan Theater as they are very cheap (movie, soda and popcorn for like $10) but there really is sacrifice. It smells like urine. Until they make popcorn, they it smells like popcorn. My suggestion is get a margarita next door before the movie so your a little sauced prior. read more

I've seen a handful of movies here and it's always been what you might expect from a small theater. On Monday, I saw a movie that I walked out of and was really discouraged by the situation. The movie began playing and an incredibly loud, muffled voice seemed to be narrating the scenes in between the dialogue. At first, I wasn't sure what it was, but I sat through about 15 minutes of the movie. I saw other people going out to talk to staff and coming back in and assumed they were getting the sound fixed. I went out and alerted staff, at which time I was told she had talked to the General Manager and it was Closed Captioning and that it will happen for the first few runs. I guess I wasn't sure what that meant, but went back to my seat for a few more minutes until I ultimately decided to leave. The sound issue rendered the movie totally unwatchable. As I walked up to the same staff member, she said to her General Manager, "Here comes another one," at which time he turned the other way and walked out of the room. She told the cashier to issue me a refund and said "that's just what it's going so sound like." I did not receive an apology or any other follow up. I don't understand how they could in good faith sell tickets to a movie that is unwatchable. They were obviously aware of the issue and did not alert the movie goers about what they were getting themselves into. I think the problem was really poorly handled. I let the issue sit with me and followed up via phone and email in the days following. Nobody has gotten back to me. After mentioning this to a friend, she stated that she had the same problem when she went to see another movie a few months ago. I don't think I'll be back until they address the issue. Update: After reviewing, I received a call back. GM explained that he originally misunderstood the issue with the sound, thus why the issue wasn't addressed as promptly or with as much attention as it deserved. He owned that the situation wasn't handled as well as it could have and explained to me the technical side of things. This was a technical glitch that was later solved with help from IT. It was not a closed captioning issue that was known prior to selling anyone tickets. He informed me that the staff is taking the issue seriously and will be discussing how to handle similar situations in the future. I'm glad he returned my contact and believe they're learning from the situation. Overall, a business I'm glad is around, and I'm especially glad to hear that they take consumer feedback seriously. read more

I think the last time I paid $3 for a movie, I still had training wheels on my bike. I thought for a measley three dollars, the sound and picture quality would have been absolute poop - but is was pleasantly suprised! And since i was seeing 'Twilight' (insert geektastic girlish shrieks here) I was quite happy i could see Edward's dreamy face clearly on the giant screen. They had a nice selection of candy, popcorn, etc - but i was stuffed to capacity after eating a brunch at the Winds Cafe so I didn't check prices on food. I enjoyed the women's LOUNGE, yes lounge, not bathroom for its super creepy factor. I kind of felt like i was in a horror movie with the dark lighting, unusual kitschy fixtures, and odd layout. so, they might be a negative for some - but I'm an odd duck so I liked it. (Next time I hit up the theatre, I'm taking a picture of the lounge). My husband said the men's bathroom made him feel like he was in the movie hostel or after he was done they were going to come in a film a slasher porno in there. Also - a negative just like a previous reviewer mentions were the little squares of toliet paper that individually came out - I almost felt like they were going to make me insert a quarter to get another piece. Overall - it was great but again - this is not an AMC or Lowes - its $3 and it gets the job done - so enjoy! read more

The seats are sometimes uncomfortable, and the place often smells a little funny, but once you get there you realize none of that actually matters because you're only paying four bucks to see a movie - without any trailers, even! Before the movies, they pipe some classy jazz music over the PA, then it's straight to the feature. Awesome! This place is a great way to kill an afternoon/evening and catch some movies you might have missed on their first run. read more

I like this place...But i dont want to watch a movie with a 4 year old child crying behind me or a small kid kicking my seat. most of the time i can do durning the day when no one is there or if kids are in school but you know you always get those asshole people who bring a baby into a scary movie and they scream the whole time I cant complain on the like 5$ a movie. IF it was 10$ id be pissed, with the anoyingness. read more

I love when I visit local theaters! It's the "vintage old-time" atmosphere with movie posters from different time periods that makes this theater feel more comforting and service an a lot more personable. The staff was surely friendly, assisting with menu options and the huge plus here is have to say is the lounge with the concessions. The lounge area is a great place to relax before and after movies. I'm definitely returning for another movie! read more

I'm so glad I finally made it to Logan Theater. It's only 3 blocks from my house and ONLY $3 .... (THREE DOLLARS) to see a film on the BIG Screen! Sure, the seats are uncomfortable and it smells a little funny but I'm a poor graduate student and $3 rocks my world. yehaw. read more

Yuk. Used to be a lot nicer in the early '80's, I think they changed owners or something. Cheap eats and movie, but so noisy you can't even hear the movie so why bother? Anyway, every movie I've watched had already come out on DVD. I know better now. At least a home, if I can't hear the movie the first or second time, I could watch it again. DVD is cheaper than hauling 4 kids to a low-rate Theatre. And don't go alone, especially at night. DO NOT go to the McDonald's across the street- it has to be the dirtiest I've ever been to. read more

Second run movies in a place that no longer smells of urine, heck yes. I've made it a point to come here more often as they have seats I can sit in without fear of breaking, I can buy a GOOD BEER and bring it in to the show, incredible midnight movies, and it looks so much better. read more

Nowhere else often plays the weird movies of my youth as well as newer releases for a heck of a price! And a wonderful bar!

When I lived in the Square, I used to walk by the Logan countless times a day. And each time, I'd think to myself "Hey, I want to see that movie" or "Wow, I can't believe this movie is already here while it's still out on the main screens" and by the time I'd make it to the theater, would come to find that movie would no longer be showing. The turnaround is so quick here. If you wait more than a week to see a movie chances are it'll be gone the next. You get what you pay for at $3. Sticky floors, really uncomfortable seating, and dingy bathrooms, but I can't complain, because I have seen so many movies here for a third of what it costs at a regular theater. Bring a chair pad though, your ass can thank me later. read more

Cool local theater in Chicago. I've been here three times and only three times were great. The Logan film festivals and 11:00 movies on the weekend. Every month they have a different selection of 11:00 movies with the same theme so every month I check to see what is going on for the month. Being close to the blue line is also a huge positive. read more

No self-respecting person pays $10 to see "The Proposal". But $4 on a Sunday afternoon? Well, I'm in. Cheap popcorn. Cheap seats. Cheap movies. Cheap fun. read more
