There are SO MANY specialty drinks at this full bar. All of them are prepared efficiently by 2 bartenders. They also have middle and top shelf alcohol available here. I spotted Glenlivet 12, Makers Mark, Dolce Vida, etc. here at the bar shelves. There is only 1 bartop seating for two option here. You can take your drinks into the theatre, which is nice. My drink was delicious. I ordered the OG Watermelon Crush. It was refreshing and well made. A couple of my friends did Aperol Spritz I think. The theatre is well maintained and clean. They have a lot of candy options, about 4-6 food options (pizzas, nuggets, hot dogs, popcorn, etc.), and a million drinks. Lines are split into regular customers and AMC A-List. Concession lines move quickly. Bar line moves a bit slower. Theatre was the Dolby Sound Max and it was great. Clean, not smelly, and seats were VERY COMFORTABLE FAUX LEATHER LOUNGERS! This was a great time.

The massage chairs are $5 for 15mins or $1 for every 3mins. After a long movie sitting in theatre seats, this massage chair is a hit! The concessions were great today.

I find the stairs inside very narrow -- I am elderly and the width of the stairway makes for an insecure crossing from rail to seat and back, like walking a plank. The stairs are lit with leds.

The theater is good for what it is, however when you are expecting one experience and get another it's a bit off-putting. The photos look to be marketing images not photos taken by patrons. Which leads me to believe they were posted by the business, not other reviewers.

I can easily rent something, wear my jammies, have a full meal and drinks in bed... but The LOT makes it worth getting out of the house. I still wear my jammies and slippers here and feel extra comfy. The reserved seating is a huge plus, and the recliners are so comfortable you feel like you're lying on a bed. With the push of a button, someone comes to take your order -- food, drinks, whatever you want. Yes, it's pricier than a standard theater, but the experience feels special. The theater itself is clean, small, and elevated compared to a typical movie theater. Each seat has its own little lamp and a swivel table for your snacks or dinner, which makes the whole setup feel boutique and cozy. I haven't tried the outdoor bar, restaurant, or café yet, but I love that they offer all of that in one place. This is the perfect spot for movies that deserve surround sound, a big screen, and a shared audience to laugh or cry with. And a tip: if you join their free rewards program, you can snag discounted tickets -- a great mid‑week treat. I would recommend getting their early to order your food/drink before the movie starts so you don't have to get intruppted mid movie! They also have a location in La Jolla that's just as nice, and they host fun watch parties and themed movie events, so check out their website to see what's coming up.

However, both food quality and service have been declining. They recently debuted ordering directly from your phone. But there's a tension between going that route and the servers. The servers are more proactive, almost aggressive about getting to you before you begin a phone order. And if you politely refuse, then you're persona non grata to them. Case in point, this weekend we watched the latest Star Wars movie. I'd ordered ketchup and ranch with two of our entrees. Neither were delivered with ranch, only ketchup. When we pressed the button for help, it took a while for the server to come. She understood our request for ranch dressing. But it never came. My fried chicken sandwich was dry and barely edible. The fries were good though, despite not getting the ranch I asked for.

Their sweet potato fries and chicken tenders are delicious. You can also order alcohol and get bottomless popcorn. The ambiance is comfy, and with the exception of our chairs malfunctioning 1 out of the 10 times I've been here, it's usually pretty relaxing. I also love that it's located in Del Mar Highlands Town Center, where there are plenty of shops and restaurants, plus you can get your grocery shopping done.

Movie was great and what we expected. One of the recliners was not working properly, but enough to get by. Asked the server if they had old school chips, jalapeños and yellow cheese nachos. Wrong! it was white dip with stale cold chips, and no jalapeños. Ordered their "new" pizza sticks. Was told they were running short on Mariana sauce so they gave me ranch. Not exactly what I wanted or needed. BTW they are just mozzarella sticks with pepperoni inside. I ate both of sticks but wasn't aware it was only two sticks. Not worth the money. Bathroom: ladies have 3 stalls - one had a floor sign stating out of order, one had a broken seat, and the only one working someone got sick all over it. They never cleaned the bathroom for the two + hour duration we were there. Terrible service standards especially with sanitation. I thought places are supposed to check them at least every 30mins. Not going back anytime soon, too bad

i come here a lot and love to watch movies & get a drink/bite! want to give a small critique on my…read morerecent experience though. i attended a movie showing and ordered the salmon lime bowl ($27) which was said to include guac. the bowl itself was good but i was a bit disappointed as there was quite literally one small spoonful of guac and for the price i would have expected more. it also was just salmon, rice, beans, and tiny bit of guac, would have been nice to have some other veggies / components to the bowl instead of so much rice/beans. the overall portion of the bowl was very filling though. my only other bone to pick would be that sometimes the theaters have kind of an accumulated scent of fried food and chicken that isn't super pleasant, it would be nice if they had more air filtration or something that would make the theaters smell a bit nicer. being nit picky here but i've noticed it every time i've gone. love the lot and will definitely come here again soon just wanted to give my two cents :)

They validate four…read morehours free parking on the street level and subterranean parking, the later offers limited spaces, so you can street parking too. Since the Covid pandemic I haven't frequented going to a movie theater to watch movies. Also, because my movie watching experience is nice and in the comfort of my own place with a 85" tv, my own leather recliner and access to lots of streaming movies with a touch of a button. I recently rewatched Devil wears Prada part 1 and wanted to see part 2 and not have to wait for it to show on streaming because it will take a long while. The movie was very entertaining and if you haven't watched it, I suggest you rewatch part 1, because it has been 20 years since! The bathroom facilities were clean with everything touchless, but the hand soap dispensers were on the blink and perhaps need batteries. Staff were courteous and helpful and efficient. There was no long wait for anything I ordered. The Lot theater where I watched this movie was smaller than expected and the seats weren't situated optimally because a few rows ahead of mine, a viewer's head blocked some parts of the screen when he was sitting up and not reclined down. The leather seats were wide and spacious, reclining feature did recline pretty low but not flat 180. The call attendant button feature is great; it's table service: you can order food and drinks. The menu includes burgers, fries, pizza, popcorn, hotdogs. Drinks including FIJI bottled water, sodas and alcoholic beverages... all served during the movie is very convenient. The LOT is the closest movie theater to me and for the sake of convenience I would return and recommend it.

It's a great experience even for a regular cinema. I love how they have different flavors of popcorn. Last time I went, they had a cheesey mix flavor, regular butter flavor, and a chili flavor. There's also a small coffee shop in the theater next to the popcorn/snack sale area. Sometimes they even have a crepe stand that sells both sweet and savory crepes. It's usually between the popcorn sale area and the coffee shop. I know that Cinepolis has a few locations in California as well. I'll have to make a visit to see if they're as good as the ones in Mexico.

I love their self service kiosk for concessions, I really appreciate how fast it makes the process go. It's set up well, and clean. It's smaller then expected, less screens then I'm used to be the IMAX theatre was huge! My gripe is the incredibly outdated seats. I love stadium seating but they are still the old chairs from decades ago. Most theaters have recliners now so it's a huge drawback. We came here in a pinch because this was the only showing in the city, but based on the seats this won't be a top contender for future movies. Also note that I am only referring to screen 1, since that's the only one I sat in. But if the IMAX theatre is like that I am assuming the rest are as well.
