In desperate need of a renovation. The place just feels dirty, the staff doesn't seem to care, and…read moreour seats were broken. One of the chair arms at the end was falling over - we couldn't even use the cup holder. I had to go up and down the escalator multiple times to get help at the bar just to pay way too much money for a beer. The seats recline, sure, but there's no stadium seating, so you're not at the best angle to the screen. I'll never come back here again - you're better off going to Scottsdale Harkins or AMC on camelback.

First time seeing a movie in a theater, in such a long time…read more We had purchased our tickets online we were able to validate them with no issues. We went to the snack bar and got her popcorn and drinks prior to the movie starting. The snack bar cashier was very nice. I think there was a disconnect as far as having butter on the popcorn. We checked in at the podium to verify our tickets and which theater we would be sitting in. Our seats were great. They were in the back of the theater with easy access to the stairs. I love the reclining chairs with the swivel lap tables... Makes a big difference when trying to juggle snacks. The theater was clean. I would definitely go back to this location in the future.

I am more thin, but can imagine someone who's not being a little tight or right ontop of you if your next to.. the movie was great great quality kiddos loved it we saw super Mario! Popcorn and refreshments available, no alcohol that I saw, popcorn was great tho, I saw some other comments about the popcorn not being so great, so I was worried because we love our theater popcorn lol, and it was great no issues what so ever! One thing I'd say is maybe wipe down ur theater seats my man had some grease from the last person. Also I did see reviews about the temp, and I def noticed that, the AC wasn't as cool as we had hoped I mean we don't want to be freezng but we were sweating to our seats a lil..and like I said I'm not a big person so I'm not one to usually be sweating..

4 stars for Harkins Arizona Mills IMAX. We went to see the new Mandalorian and Grogu movie and had…read morea great experience overall. One thing I really liked is that the IMAX theater is separate from the regular theaters and has its own dedicated area, including concession stands and bathrooms. It makes the experience feel a little more premium and less crowded. Concessions are priced exactly how you'd expect at a movie theater, but the food was actually pretty solid. We ordered the chicken tenders combo along with popcorn and a drink. If you order a combo meal, you place the order at the counter and then wait in a separate pickup area where they bring the food out to you. The tenders came out piping hot and the fries were crispy. They also have extra butter dispensers if you want more, which I always do. The IMAX screen is HUGE and the sound system was excellent. Honestly, there really doesn't seem to be a bad seat in the house. We sat in G21/G22, which looked close to center on the seating chart, and the view was fantastic. Nice bonus that there's also an elevator available for guests who need accessible access to the upper seating areas. The only reason this isn't a 5-star review is the seating. The seats were standard theater seats that rocked slightly. They were comfortable enough, but reclining seats with tray tables would have made the experience much better, especially since any food you order basically has to be eaten from your lap. One small touch that stood out: before the movie started, a staff member made a live announcement reminding everyone to silence and put away their phones. Most theaters just play a prerecorded message now, so that felt surprisingly personal and appreciated. Overall, a really enjoyable IMAX experience and definitely worth checking out for big blockbuster movies.

Today around 1:00 PM my husband and I purchased a large popcorn. The popcorn already looked old and…read morenot fresh when we received it, but unfortunately we ate some of it. While we were watching the movie shortly after eating the popcorn, I started to develop stomach pain. After leaving the theater, both of us experienced severe stomach cramps, diarrhea, and significant abdominal pain. Even now, we are both still experiencing stomach pain and it has not stopped. The symptoms have been bad enough that we are scheduling a visit with our primary care doctor. We wanted to share this experience so the theater can review their food handling and so other guests can be cautious. We hope management looks into the freshness and safety of the popcorn and butter stations.

We came here to see Wicked for Good and it was a good experience! The staff was very sweet and…read moreattentive, the venue was clean and well kept, and the atmosphere was overall very nice. Only downside is the prices - the food is good but overpriced (but not more than the standard movie theater upcharge!). If you're okay with a splurge and want a movie date night, this is a good place to go! Highly recommend getting a recliner if you choose to come catch a movie here, they make the whole experience a lot better!

It's still closed and has been since march of 2020. No longer a temporary closure at this point. Would give it 4-5 stars if they were actually open for business. Update: Harkins gave the same non answer as a reply to this review as they do to everyone. Also got the same reply when I messaged them on instagram or facebook about this theatre. They are great at the copy and paste reply's.

Inside the theater is very clean, and the bathroom was clean too. They have the usual Harkins drink and snacks. I went to see the Interview and the theater was packed. Attendant came on the stage before a movie started and greeted us. I haven't seen that forever. Due to the nature of the movie?, a police officer was standing at the lobby. I saw more staff here today than any other Harkins theater. Great and friendly staff, clean bathroom, interesting movie selection, I would definitely come back here again.

05/02/2026 This Harkins is located on the second floor of…read morethe mall, and there is an escalator inside that leads right up to it. My friend and I bought tickets online, so we had the QR code ready and moved through the entrance quickly. There was a full bar, but we opted for bottled water at the concession stand. The cashier asked if I wanted Dasani or Smart Water. I wasn't paying attention to the pricing on the menu, so I said Smart Water and ended up paying $8.50 - not their fault that I didn't check the price first, but also, that is so expensive! Inside of the theatre was clean, and the recliner seats were comfortable. I always forget to bring a sweatshirt or light jacket because the theaters usually get cold. Bathrooms were clean as well. Overall I had a good experience and would definitely see a movie here again. For parking, we parked in the garage on the north side of the mall. There are a set of doors kind of tucked away. Once inside, you'll see Abercrombie & Fitch, make a left by Lululemon, and hit the escalators up to Harkins.

We returned to Tempe Improv to see Eric Eatons "Magic for Adults" show. We showed up about 30…read moreminutes before show time & got seats that were very close to the stage, but we were off to the far right corner, so the view of the stage was not the greatest. The show was hilarious though & we had a wonderful time. This makes for an awesome date night. One thing I did not enjoy is that I was seated across from my husband, I would have preferred being next to him, so we could talk to one another a bit easier... We did not order food, but I got Sangria. One of the best Sangrias I have had, to be honest! I was very disappointed to hear that a single shot does not qualify for the "2 Drink Minimum". I feel that should be mentioned on the menu for guests, because if I had ordered the shot, assuming it counted, I would have been furious! I also think it's a bit ridiculous that you cannot order food in place of the drinks? As long as people are spending money on something, why should it matter???? We had a good time, and will be back in the future. I just hope that they will consider modifying their business structure in a way that makes a little bit more sense.

Last night, I went to Improv Tempe for the first time to see comedian Jared Fried. Surprisingly,…read morethe venue is large yet intimate but what's always questionable about comedy clubs in general are the funky seating arrangements, the table setup--the chairs are so close to each other that it can feel like you're sitting on top of others while at your table. The ambiance is good all around, the staff are friendly, and the menu options are decent. I would suggest more non-alcoholic beverages options but their food options are good. The audience was engaging for the most part with the exception of some people that were VIP and happened to be seated in front of me. Two couples on a double date had such dry personalities and apparently forgot how to laugh. In some cases during the show, their lack of engagement and energy made the comedian sense a level of awkwardness, but he carried on his engagement well while others laughed in appreciation of his humor. At the end of the show, he welcomed fans to take photos with him, which I did. I caught the 7pm show which ended early enough to enjoy the rest of the evening exploring other establishments nearby. Overall, this is a great venue. You get a little of everything to make your visit enjoyable. The club is easy to find, parking is free but can fill up fast as there's other shops and a grocery store that share the same lot. If you're not familiar with Improv Tempe, definitely enjoy a night out seeing any comedian here. I'll be back again.
