### 2024 review 34/100 ###…read more First time at this screening location. The email confirmation didn't include any information on parking validation -- that usually is the case for all FYC screenings in the industry. Emailed to inquire but got no response. On the day of, we circled around the blocks but found no parking on the streets either, on a Saturday afternoon. As we were getting close to 2pm screening time, having wasted time driving around looking for parking -- we ended up parking in the attached parking structure. Got the last 2 seats but had to sit separately. They apparently turned away a few people -- must have overbooked for no show. It's a small but cozy & comfy theater. No reception after the screening of The Substance, so don't know if they have any room for reception setup. Oh and the bathrooms are locked -- I got lucky as they left the women bathroom door prop'ed open. But the men's bathroom was locked and I had to wait for hubby while he goes find who may have the key. Pro tips: - show up early as most screenings overbook due to no show - confirm for parking validation, or show up early to look for street parking

Very well located screening room, easy to find, right in the heart of Beverly Hills…read more The actual screening room isn't big, but it's clean, the decor is nice, cozy with very comfortable seats, a major plus. My main issue with this place is that you have to pay for parking, there's a garage with various rates for week day versus weekend. The person who pays for the booking - they are charged plenty, so parking on top is too much for guests in my opinion. I did find street parking. So come here early to hunt for free street parking!

It's been a long time since I've been to the movies, especially a place like this. I've been to…read morethis type of luxury theatre many years ago and it's definitely a good way to treat yourself. My son has been wanting to see Devil Wears Prada 2 and the first one is one of his favorite movies of all time. Personally, I don't like that movie but I went along with him. Tickets are $25 each and they have a $4 parking garage, but we were lucky enough to get a free after-hour meter on the street. It's a nice place and it seems like comfort is their top priority. The recliner chairs are extremely comfy and come with a blanket in case you get cold. You know how movie theaters are always chilly. Once you get settled, you can press a button that sends an employee over to take your order. It's completely optional. We got one small popcorn (light butter, $6) which was big enough for both of us. I like this idea of having the option of ordering and dining at your seat while watching a movie, but the reality is a bit different. It's kind of annoying to see the employees coming and going when someone needs a refill or places a new order during the movie. You can hear them talking and they can even block your view. It's frustrating when you are trying to focus. With that being said, I think it has more pros than cons. There are bars and bathrooms located across the several floors and the one we went to was exceptionally clean. I probably wouldn't go out of my way to come back to this theatre. I prefer something more standard like AMC or Pacific Theatres (RIP!)...

My wife and I were members of iPic for years and have always utilized the nearby Westwood location…read more Although disheartened when the company entered bankruptcy, we were encouraged to find out it had been purchased and would continue operating as The Cinemas Los Angeles. Last week, we attended a showing of Toy Story 5 at the theater. We learned that not only is the new ownership not offering food service during the transition but intends to abandon that amenity altogether. This is among the most foolish decisions that could be made from a business perspective and will undoubtedly result in a total loss on the owners' investment. The building has a gigantic kitchen going to waste. The screens are small, and the ticket prices are high. The sole reason people have chosen this theater over the numerous options (e.g. Century City AMC) is its special quality of in-theater dining and expanded, up-scale fare. It is absurd that the owners are trying to spin this as an improvement, claiming this unique feature has been "retired in favor of elevated food & beverage offerings -- designed to enhance your cinematic experience by reducing service-related noise, light and other distractions." No amount of polishing to the menu at the tavern will offset the loss of clientele brought on by the abandonment of the in-theater dining option. The owners need only look to the onslaught of terrible reviews streaming in across Yelp and Google or the consensus of complaints in the Reddit community to understand the extent to which this misguided approach will devalue their investment. They will certainly be losing our business until this irrational new approach is reversed.

This is a cute local theatre that is wayyyyy bigger than I thought. Came here last night for a free…read morescreening and I'm so glad to have been introduced to this place. I was pleasantly surprised by some of the modern concessions they had, specifically the cans of LaCroix they were selling. Love it. This is located on a busy part of Wilshire. But don't panic. There's parking for you if you're stealthy. Right before you approach the theatre, there's a small side street called Holt. If you turn onto Holt, it's free residential parking all the way down (please read the signs though). Parking closer to the theatre on this street will get you one free hour of parking but if you park several blocks down will give you more time. Consider this option if you don't mind a bit of a walk. I hope to come here for more screenings in the future.

Great theater and staff! The box office attendant today at 1:30 PM (medium/long hair with a face…read moremask) was very polite and helpful, creating a good mood upon entry. Although I couldn't stay for the actual movie, I attended a 70mm screening several years ago and remember the projection and sound being very high-quality, and the concessions being reasonably priced. The screen is just over 30 feet wide, so I recommend sitting in the front half for good immersion. The seats are the only downside, since they're traditional fabric, pretty rigid, and aren't tall enough to act as more than a back rest for many people. But, they're on a decent incline, so they should be okay comfort-wise and you'll have less chance of people's heads blocking the bottom of the screen (like at the Aero Theatre in Santa Monica).

Security is very strict which is understandable considering that this is one of the most iconic and biggest studios we have in Los Angeles.

For MI: Dead Reckoning Part 1, they provided popcorn and water bottles which was nice! Although, when I watched spiderman, they didn't have it. This theatre is done in Dolby Cinema format which is probably one of the best formats to watch films in. The seats are not recliner seats but it's still comfortable. I also parked at the Bronson Gate as it's the closest to the paramount theatre.

We came out for Friday night roller skating at Melrose Rooftop Theatre to celebrate a surprise…read morebirthday with friends. It's a fun concept, but the experience left a bit to be desired. We checked in at the front entrance and took the slow-moving elevator up to the rooftop. It wasn't a huge deal, but definitely something that stood out. When we got to the top, we were asked to fill out a waiver on our phones--super quick and easy, but honestly something that could've been done earlier when buying tickets online. Parking in the area was $20 at a lot across the street. Not terrible for a Friday night in LA, but still worth mentioning. Your ticket includes skate rental and one drink, so we grabbed a Paloma (the other option was not available) which hit the spot. Unfortunately, the skating surface was a bit of a letdown--treaded hard plastic mats that didn't offer a smooth ride. It took a lot of effort to move and wasn't beginner-friendly. Plus there was a tricky spot that tripped up more than a few skaters. The biggest surprise was the low energy overall--music was pretty quiet, and the vibe felt more relaxed than festive. We expected more of a party atmosphere for a Friday night rooftop in the heart of LA. It was still fun to do something different and hang out with our group, but unless they upgrade the floor or amp up the energy, it's probably a one-and-done for us. Tips: - Allow extra time for the elevator to the 3rd floor. - $20 parking lot across the street. - 1 Drink included, so grab one and make the most of it!

We brought our nephews and nieces. They were a little bit like whatever (our niece, 4, the most into it) but the adults, myself included -- sobbing. What a powerful experience - what a milestone. A real bookend moment. Glad it happened at the New Bev. They also screened a dead end kids flick here recently and I hope they do a series. Michael (perhaps the manager?) is especially kind.
