    Pepsi only :( I still drank it

    Quaint neighborhood theater hailed as the first in Atlanta to solely screen independent films (typically 3-4 at a time). I've lived in the area for quite a while now, so I'm bummed I hadn't visited sooner. I went to see the Last Duel on opening night...our theater had 4 other groups , so there was plenty of room to spread out if social distancing is a concern of yours. Masks are "optional". The concession stand within the lobby is small- I only noticed popcorn, mini bottles of wine, and beer...eyes on the prize. Check this place out for night out!

    It's not the best cinema but their offerings are great. Seats don't recline but are comfy. The bathrooms are an oddity - nothing is centered or even has any rhyme or reason. There's a sole sink right by the door. It's funny. Concession offerings are typical plus some wine and beer.

    A cute rustic theatre unlike what I have seen before. Although this is a chain theatre, it had a very small-town, personal feel.

    The Tara is an Atlanta institution. Even though Yelp has it listed as United Artists, it is now owned by Regal. If you go to the movies as often as I do, make sure to get a Regal Crown card and start earning points towards free stuff. This theater is where to go to see all the Oscar-nominated movies and independent films the mainstream multiplexes don't show. If it's not playing at Landmark Midtown Art, chances are you'll find it at the Tara. Yes, it's small, and old, but the restrooms are clean and most of the theater seats have been upgraded. So it's actually a bit nicer experience than the Landmark. Plus, if you're looking for dinner and a movie, there are plenty of hip restaurants in the area. (Woodfire Grill, Alfredo's, The Colonnade, Fat Matt's, Red Snapper, Taqueria del Sol, and many more. Something for every appetite and price range.) Traffic at the intersection of Cheshire Bridge and La Vista gets backed up quickly, especially during peak hours, but at least now there is a light near the Publix so you can exit the shopping plaza with relative ease.

    I've only been to this theater twice. The first time was waaaay back in the 90s and the most recent time was this past Friday (August 4, 2017). If you had put me in a hot tub time machine and had me switch back and forth from the 1990s to today, I would've been hard pressed to notice any differences in Tara Cinemas aside from the prices being adjusted for inflation. It has that old school vibe, although it combines both the good and bad of it all. Tara Cinemas is located on Cheshire Bridge Road in between the Midtown and Buckhead neighborhoods of Atlanta. Cheshire Bridge Road itself is mostly known for adult novelty stores, lingerie "modeling" shops and foreign restaurants but it changes just a little once you're about a block from the theater. Yes, there is a massage parlor nearby but there is also a Publix grocery store, Wells Fargo bank, CVS pharmacy and an upscale apartment complex right across the street. The community is actually very free-spirited, diverse, busy and yet relatively safe as far as violent crime is concerned. Tara Cinemas blends right in with the area because it has it's own style. It is a four room cinema that mostly shows indie and foreign films. The kind of movies they show is really its main appeal. The movie I recently saw was "The Beguiled." Even though it stars such big names as Nicole Kidman, Colin Farrell and Kirsten Dunst, for some reason it wasn't being shown at the larger Atlanta theaters. I paid $14.20 to see the 4:50 pm showing. This is a Regal cinema, so the price paid for popcorn and Coke were pretty much the same as I'd pay at the much larger Atlantic Station Regal theater. But the popcorn was kind of stale and the Coke didn't have that kick to it. The people who worked there weren't rude but they acted like residents of a small, remote town who were trying to figure out what the new people riding through were all about. Now I know this theater isn't supposed to be like the fancy new ones that you see in Atlanta but the room I saw my movie in had a sticky floor and was kind of stuffy. The seats had cushions but since it was dim I couldn't tell how clean it was. I enjoyed the fact that there were only about 12 people (including myself) watching the film. The crowd was older and I was the only one there who wasn't white. I'm not complaining at all about that though; I'm just painting a picture for the readers as to how the demographics were that afternoon. The sound was kind of low but since it was a small room I could still hear the movie. Afterwards, I found the restroom (with its three stalls and three urinals) to be surprisingly clean. In fact it felt cleaner than the room I watched the move in. I'm not trying to throw shade at Tara Cinemas. I know two stars is a low rating but I'm doing so with the attitude of "meh, I've experienced better" rather than anything else. I would attend another movie here if it's not showing anywhere else though. But I still think that Midtown Arts Cinemas is a better place in Atlanta to watch independent and low budget movies.

    One of my favorite theaters in the city. They show mostly independent films & I love the classic old school theater feel. The theater is 50 years old and cleaner than most new theaters. The only drawback Is that they have become part of Regal so for 3 adults it was $38 and a large popcorn was $8.79 & a large soda was $5.99. So If you go on one of those dates like in the movie half baked, you may want to pick somewhere else. I was on a date with two women, my wife and daughter. Had you going for a second huh. But in all seriousness Still one of my favorite places to go see a movie.

    A simple theater where you can see movies you won't see elsewhere. And also the nicest staff ever. I worked with the staff during one of their movie previews, and they were totally nice and helpful. The theater feels clean (yay! no sour patch kids sticking to your shoes!) and they have cool stuff in the snack bar like Odwallas. Yay, Tara. Yay.

I was expecting a super low-budget experience but that was not it at all. I was so pleased at this theater that this will definitely be my go-to theater from now on. The place was so clean and fresh that I assumed they had just opened, but it seems they've been open for several years. I went on a Tuesday, and was thrilled at the $6 ticket. Popcorn was also super cheap. I think I paid $23 for ticket, popcorn and drink. A bargain! The popcorn was fresh and crisp. I gobbled it up. The seats were super comfy with no ripped seats. The only thing I didn't like was the handicapped seating (I needed it this particular day) was at the back of the theater. As a member of the short-girl society, it was a little challenging to see over the seats. The next time I go I won't need that seating, so I'll be fine, but I'd imagine someone who needed it might find it challenging as well.

NCG does free or super cheap kids' tickets during the summer, which is such a great deal--perfect for keeping little ones entertained without breaking the bank. The theater is always clean, the reclining seats are super comfy, and the unlimited popcorn and drinks are a big win (especially with kids who love refills). Even the bathrooms are clean, which is not always the case at movie theaters! If you're in the Brookhaven area, this is definitely a solid spot for an easy, fun movie night.

I usually go to Regal Atlantic Station or IPIC at Colony Square, but I'm definitely adding this spot to the list. The theatre was clean, ordering food was straightforward--kiosks, then pick up at the main bar. There's even a full bar on the right if you want a quick cocktail. The seats? Super plush recliners. They've upgraded well at this location. Since I'm in Buckhead Village, it's too convenient to ignore. The only snag is the parking at Phipps plaza--it's a maze. But with patience, you'll figure it out. Overall, I'll definitely be back--it was a solid movie experience.

My husband (who is the big film buff) tells me that the Laser format just means they are using laser projection instead of the normal bulbs, so it's little more vibrant. But still, we wanted to check it out. This AMC is located within Phipps Plaza, which is a high end mall, so the theater gets kept up pretty well. They have a little better concessions than normal AMC theaters I've been to also - and a full wall of candy and chips/snacks. But the best of all is that they have a Costa Coffee right in the concessions area! I have never had a frappe to sip on while watching a movie before, but I don't know how I'll go back to not having that now. Their seats are nice and large. Maybe even TOO large - it was a little difficult to get out to use the bathroom LOL The movie we saw was F1 and it was presented well with great sound, and the screen was newer in the theater we were in. This is a nice, newer-seeming theater (or maybe it's not new and they just keep it maintained very well?), with extra treats that not a lot of other AMC's have, and a theater-going experience that's a little different - so definitely check it out if those types of features interest you!

    I went to IPIC yesterday to see Spider-Man: Long Way From Home and was seated in Theater 6. Shortly…read moreafter getting settled, I noticed the auditorium was a bit warm. Once our server, Diamond, greeted us, we learned they were dealing with a few operational issues, including a limited food menu, a nonfunctioning call button, and unfortunately, no working AC in the theater. Despite the circumstances, Diamond was excellent. She was attentive, communicative, and kept us informed throughout the movie. Management also handled the situation well, coming into the theater to offer guests a full refund and a pass for another movie. We were also given the option to wait about 20 minutes and move to another auditorium showing the same film. I decided to stay and was still able to order a pepperoni pizza and some candy from the limited menu. The pizza was good, but that ranch deserves its own mention because it was surprisingly delicious. Technical issues happen, and I appreciated how both Diamond and management handled a less than ideal situation. iPic will definitely continue to be my theater of choice, and Diamond's service made a big difference in the overall experience.

We came to see Odyssey, which was amazing, easily one of the best theater experiences movie-wise but the in-theater dining side of things fell apart fast. Ordered a Coke and got Diet instead, along with wings and a large popcorn. When the wings came out (wrong flavor), I asked for an extra plate and napkins got the napkins eventually, no plate, and the wings themselves were the wrong order. That took over 25 minutes to even attempt to fix, and at that point I just left mid-movie to go grab things myself at the bar. We hit the call light multiple times after that and the server didn't come back until the last 10 minutes of the film. On top of that, our seat cushion was detached and torn when we sat down not exactly what you expect for the price point. At the end, I asked to speak with a manager about the experience and to get my points credited. He handled the points fine, but honestly seemed pretty indifferent to everything else, which felt off given we'd just spent over $100 for two people. To top it off, parking wasn't validated correctly, and there was no going back up to fix it once we'd left. The movie itself was fantastic. The experience around it wasn't. If you're going for the movie, go just don't expect much from the service.

Despite them having customer contact information, the first notice that dinner was not going to be on the menu was taped to the outer door on arrival. Given that we were there to see The Odyssey - a 3 hour movie - this was pretty disappointing. While the agent on the ticket counter was very apologetic, and the bar team was friendly and working as fast as they could to get through the long, 20+ person line, the whole place was chaos and it felt like we'd surprised them by showing up. This isn't an isolated incident or one-off staffing/capacity issue. We've had similar experiences with long delays, backed up kitchen and order mix-ups the last 2 times we visited, as well. I wish I'd learned from that. You can't run a dine-in theater and not give customers any food. Halfway through the long bar line, an employee said they were taking orders again at the seats via QR code. Everyone ran in, tried to order, couldn't, then came back out to make a new line. 5 more mins later, they came out to say they were taking manual orders and encouraged us all to sit back down and wait. We decided not to trust that, ordered drinks and sent a member of the party to Newks for sandwiches. Spoiler alert: no one ever came to take an order, but the sandwich was delicious. Thanks, Newks.
