We were recently to rent one of the theaters. It was awesome! The staff was super nice and helpful. It was a wonderful way to spend some time with family and keep safe with regards to Covid
One of the last old school small theaters, and you can rent a theater room for private gatherings. Concessions are remarkably low priced and theres a full bar
Wonderful neighborhood movie theater. Good movies-great pppcorn-cozy atmosphere. Love it. Cant wait for the reopening. But I can, thankfully, still get the popcorn!!!
The cinema room was indeed comfy and goofy to watch movies with your love ones and friends. They offered lots of new movies with different genres. The room was clean and does not have any smell. And also their staff was very hands-on with the customer. What a great service that I experienced.
Super cute, great prices, and lovely staff. It has the charm that the big theaters don’t. I feel lucky that it is within walking distance from my home. I think last time I was there I got the ticket, soda, popcorn, and candy for under $10....!!!! Awesome drink specials too.
Went there 5 times and for the first time being in a movie theater I thought it’d be bad but the prices are so reasonable and the food there is awesome, the staff is sooooo generous and I’m DEFINITELY coming again!
Loved this place, been around since I was a kid & they are not just a business they get involved within the community they service hope they are around when my children become adults!
For the price they are charging, this cinema is amazing. If you want to just watch the movie in a big screen and not want to spend tons of money then this is the place for you. But if you want leather or other fancy seats then this is not the place for you. Personally, I enjoyed my experience their because it is walking distance from where I live and prices were cheap. If you are in the neighborhood and dont feel like spending too much, then this is the perfect for you.
Tuesday cheap tickets you cant beat that. Comfortable seats. I remember when it was just one big theater, and I miss that, but the screen size was good. Small tear or crease in the screen in the theater I was in. Wasnt terrible, but noticeable for bright shots
Classic Northside theater that has graduated from its history as a purveyor of second run films into a good value option for first run films. Expect small theaters and not a lot of creature comforts, but the staff is nice and helpful and there is a decent array of both beer and food a la the Davis Theater in Lincoln Square. Recommended as a nice alternative to big box theaters.
Do you like seeing movies in a theater? Do recliners seem unnecessary for a cinematic experience? Do you appreciate cinema? Does $40 sound like too much for two people to see a movie and have some drinks? If you answered yes to any of these then this is the spot.
Needs a little make over, but the price is right on all fronts and in the summer they have a live band play for free and handout popcorn to people sitting in the patio listening.
Its a quirky small theater. And charming. Its very affordable price makes it ideal and it compensates for the small rooms. Overall a cute little place.
Absolutely a hole in the wall movie theater, but there is an amazing charm to the place! The prices are very reasonable, and the staff is friendly. Probably not the place to go for a date night, but if youre looking for a cheap place to see a movie with no thrills, this is it!
The prices are great for a Saturday night movie. The staff is very friendly, the concession stand even has beer. The theater room itself was decent, the sound was good, the only thing that was below average were the seats, not very comfortable or clean.
One thing I enjoy about the 400 theater is, very comfortable nice service, people are caring. They always have a smile on my face. The food is awesome. Family day is great too but dont forget to bring your friends. I truly know that the kids would love it.
Fantastic theater - small, cozy and local atmosphere without feeling too modern. A rare spot thats fairly priced - if you go on a midnight release show you might be able to get a ticket, (specialty themed) drink and popcorn for the price of a ticket at some of your large corporation theaters.Staff go above and beyond - always warm and friendly but I was especially impressed when one night an employee and a manager ensured that a group of people who would not stop yelling at each other during a movie (Joker, of course it had to be this one out of the hundred times Ive been here) were escorted out of the theater in the most professional manner.Always try to bring friends, family and dates here and would recommend this place to anyone.
First run movies in a funky old neighborhood theater retrofitted into a mini-multiplex. Friendly staff, snacks and a bar all with a cool hipster vibe
Great student discount and drink specials; sound was a little off in the theater but not a big deal for the film I was seeing.
This place is an awesome little hidden gem. Its cozy, inexpensive, great for impromptu date nights, and they have nice staff. I would definitely recommend coming here vs the big name theaters.
When you dont want to see movie cast to TV or iPhone this is a Rogers Park alternative. The grand audition has been chopped into three spaces.They are reasonable prices and open air patio for the hole block. Starbucks to talk about the movie and enjoy your friends.There is bankofamerica ATM if needed.Two Asian restaurants, a bar and more. Make it a multi-purpose evening
Love this theater! Still has the old school feel, cheap tickets and really good deals on drinks & concessions.
The staff was very nice.
We always enjoy ourselves when you go it is clean and the popcorn is fresh nice theater to go tooalways enjoy our selves
Staff is always really nice. Will help you to your seat if its too dark to see. Will also help you carry your concessions if you need it. The only drawback is you if youre more than 20 minutes late they wont let you in to view the movie youll have to wait till the next one. Bathrooms are always clean.
This place is awesome.. Super friendly staff, great drink specials, and they have the newest movies playing. They just need to turn the volume down on their movies, that was loud as hell lol.
Classic place to watch a movie. Can you believe that this theatre is 107 yrs old. Starbucks right next to it which makes it my favourite place to hang out.
This place is great! Very close to the Loyola campus and a lot cheaper than other movie theaters. This place is relatively small but its kept in good shape. Theres a full bar and concessions stand built in so no need to worry about any of that. Definitely stop by if youre trying to catch the latest flick at a quarter of the price! Bring your student ID for a discount too.
This cozy neighborhood theater is a real treasure with its friendly staff and affordable tickets, particularly if you dont have to find parking.
You can have a beer while youre watching the movie.Price for the movie is reasonable.
Very affordable and intimate theater. I like the conservation of snack and drink options. And the staff were all friendly.
Small, 4-screen theater, full bar for the grown ups. 2D-only, which Im fine with, personally. Tickets a little under par on cost--Matinee showings only $6 (tax-inclusive!), but concessions are a bit more. Dont sneak food in here, folks: its different at the big box cinema but support your neighbors here!
A great locally owned and operated theater. The prices are great, and the selection of beer is pretty solid as well. You cant go wrong! Check out their website, because they do have specials throughout the week.
Great old theater with a fascinating history. Generous daily cocktail specials, comfy seats.Check out the $6 matinee prices.
Great local movie theater in Rogers Park. Nice and friendly people working there.
One of the old school mom and pop shops. Get a beer, get a mixed drink, a bag of candy the size of your face, sit in actual comfy chairs and watch a movie. Not one of those mega mall theaters with tiny seats. I love this place.
Great theater that always has first run flicks in an intimate setting, with awesome beer, wine, and cocktails. Need a good spot to take the kids to see that new pokemon movie and hoping for a cocktail to make it all go down easier? This. Looking for a perfect date night spot? This. Good people, great ticket prices, always something fun on the drinks list. Kindve a perfect neighborhood theater!
Very cozy theatre, almost like a family theatre. Great for birthday parties. Plays newest movies as well as older favorites. Not the newest theatre, so seats are old, the rooms dont get pitch black during movies (family plus for the small children). Its an experience to take in and enjoy with the whole family.
Tickets are cheap & so are snacks. It reminds me of the good old times i love it.
You cant beat the price and the bar,plus with the lake so close my wife and I have a picnic in the summer before we go and see a movie
The New 400 is a Rogers Park gem. Only four screens but lots of class. Good bar too and popcorn popped fresh all the time.
Quaint and cozy and refills on popcorn. Just theres no parking and we scored a ticket on Christmas Eve. That was a sad day.
Always a fun time. Staff is friendly and the matinees are great!
Love this theatre... its small but it serves its purpose.
As others mentioned, this place is fantastic for a movie night because the rooms are small enough where you can get cozy. The tickets are at a reasonable price so Id love to make this my main theater to watch movies!Also, I went yesterday for Valentines Day and it was the best time I had.
Nothing nothing super fancy but I love neighborhood feel and friendly staff and you cant beat the prices. Concessions much more reasonable here compared to your big chain theaters abd they have daily deals on drinks. Yes, this theater sells drinks! The neighborhood is really fun as well plus weve never had trouble finding street parking.
I love the theater real wholesome feel. Definitely recommend
Its a great small movie theatre but Ive got to say, those seats are so uncomfortable. If you are someone who is tall or taller than the average height, you would not enjoy your movie because those seats are closed up together that your legs dont get enough space to stretch them.
This theater is old but pretty comfortable. The popcorn is cheap, but they dont have a lot of food choices. Just hot dogs and popcorn. And I think nachos. They do have a full bar though.
Me and my family we love this place. Its a small size theater but we friendly staff nd a affordable prices
The crew here deserves a round of applause. Always friendly and accommodating, the staff really go above and beyond to make the moviegoing experience a breeze. If an incident crops up, theyre on it in a flash. A staple of Rogers Park. Shout-out to Madisen and the team at the Sunday night showing. We WILL be coming back!
Really nice movie theater. Been coming here since I was a little kid. Just like fine wine it got better with age.
This Secret Theater is my Favorite Movie House in Chicago! Nicest Employees EVER!! Best Ticket Prices + concessions R fair too.Reminds me of some Small Town Theater Where U can go to see the talkies. Staff = +Prices = Size = (cozy)
Great for me and my kids. My 2yrs old loves to run ariund while my 7yrs old stayimg in to watvh the.movie. and staff are great n helpful. But after 6pm adults only and Love the the bar & the bar service.
Best little show in town love the Tuesday rates & you can have a drink if needed
Great neighborhood theatre with first-run movies, friendly staff.
It was my first time going to the 400 theater and anyway all the employees are a nice warm welcome there
Great neighborhood theater. A break from the megatheaters. Cheap and friendly.
Great little neighborhood movie theater. Prices are great, and the cta service cant be beat if you live in the area. It does fill up quickly though if you go on an opening weekend, so plan accordingly (I would get there early to buy tickets, then go get lunch or dinner in the area, you have plenty of options).
Good local spot for movies. Decent selection of drinks. Need a little updating.
Great customer service and good popcorn salt.
Good customer service buh the last time I went there,the heater was not on.It was so cold
Love the theater, but the seats could be better. They show up to date movies without the downtown prices.
Fun, relaxing and intimate place to watch a movie. The sell alcohol and have affordable ticket prices! Has a mom-and-pop feel but with a younger, hip employee base. Great for a date or just catching a flick on the cheap with a family or friends. Never have had a bad time!
May not be the most technically advanced theater around but it is the BEST with service, feel, and price! The employees are always pleasant and keep the place clean. The concession stand prices are low enough that you are breaking the bank to snack while you enjoy the movie. Yes, they are in need of an update but it you like a true old school movie experience this is the place for that.
This is a small theatre with a cozy ambience and a huge lack of ambition. Food selection is scarcer than parking and parking is a nightmare.
Great little theater. Smaller than the chain places, its cute and intimate, and the ticket prices cannot be beat. Its also great to be able to get wine and other drinks to enjoy during your movie. Ive always had great experiences here.
Awesome staff, I tip every time. Theyre really friendly, have great drinks (though I think they could expand their bar a bit) and its super clean. Will be going back.
On Tuesdays Veterans can see a movie here for free.
I want to give this place 5 stars only for the fact that they play korean movies (some with and without subtitles) but the service here is just whatever so I want to give it 1 star. That being said, I arrive at 3 stars, middle ground. Parking is also difficult so be prepared to fight your way out of your tiny spot with massive amount of cars driving by and not letting you pull out!
Cozy theatre with a bar and decent popcorn. Very affordable. My go to theater when I want to stay low key. Good location with great food places close by. Has a local feel to it, not a huge theatre or movie selection.
Great early movie. Clean and semi quiet. The parents and young children were out to see the new Marvel movie, a bit too talkative for my taste.
Great movies.. great service
Like the people they are nice.Big and roomy.Play nice movie and easy for me take short cut my home
Old fashion movie theatre, with traditional snacks. They sell alcohol. Ticket prices are the best in the city. First run, popular movies. I love having this movie house option in my neighborhood rather than travel all over the city and pay a lot more money. The whole place does need some investment in repairs and appearance.
Reduced price movies. New releases. They even sell alcohol. It is close to the Red Line and the # 147 bus. The people are very friendly
If you want to watch a Korean movie this is your only option here in IL. They have different snack options than other movie theaters(different flavor popcorn/beef jerky). Seats are pretty much the same with others and have premium seating at the end for a bigger seat for more $$. The only negative part that I experienced is the contrast, which was too dark.
Fun neighborhood, friendly staff and cool cocktails.
Good customer service just not modern enough. But really enjoyed the movie
Been here a few times, and its definitely the theater Ill keep going to. Have good prices (and discounts for students), and always a selection of good movies. Only four theaters and they are a little small, so show times are limited, but havent had an issue getting seats when Ive gone (both weekday and weekend nights).Also, 2 for $6 well drinks on Wednesday is great! Includes almost all the mixed drinks they have on their menu -- just with bottom shelf liquor. So lots of options (instead of the usual rum-and-coke type choices Ive seen other places).
This was a really fun place to see a movie for half the cost as regular movie theatres. It is small and pretty close to your neighbors, while watching the movie. Cant beat the price tho!
Friendly staff and Tuesdays are the best $5.00 movies all day. There is a $1.00 service charge for online purchases. The bartender was super friendly and there was a drink special as well on Tuesday. The only thing, was that the seats were very close together and not super comfy. I would go back
Its a nice little gem. I live in the area, so its nice to be able to stay in the neighborhood and still have the movie theater experience.
Awesome little theater with bar service. Near great restaurants. Worth the trip if they have something you want to see.
It’s a decent place Food and Drinks Aren’t as expensive paid about 38 dollars for 6ppl not bad I recommend it.
This is a cute little theater, the prices are the best! Just $6 for movies every day before 4 and even after 4 they are $8. But the theaters are a little small. They are not very crowded though.
It is the second time coming into this theatre in a 1 year time span.My wife and I only order a bag of popcorn and in the morning we both vomit horribly both times we went to this theatre! This place is dirty. The food needs to be inspected. They probably don’t clean the machines and butter does spoil! The city needs to inspect this place immediately and shut it down!
Love the theater, the prices and everything. The only negative is that it was very cold in the theater tonight.
I love the cozy theaters & pricing specials they have. They even have a bar.
Inexpensive, with 5 screens; clean and a friendly, helpful staff. The only negative was that it seemed a bit cold, but we all have different opinions as to what that means. Alcohol and food are available.
Small town feel in the big city
Best movie theater is really nice
Love this place able to come with my kids and watch movies all in my neighborhood
Reasonably priced, but pretty no-frills. They do have beer, which is nice.
This is my favorite theater in Chicago. Its simple, small, affordable, and the staff is great. And its super convenient to have something like this Rogers Park.
The New 400 Theater is a small, intimate theater. The staff is friendly, attentive, and helpful.If youre into having a brew while you view, they offer a small but decent variety of adult beverages, along with traditional, theater fare.Its a good idea to arrive a bit early for your viewing because, as previously mentioned, it is a very small theater. Getting there right at start time could leave one in the first couple of rows, which could be uncomfortable for some viewers.One, great feature worth mention: Free refills on popcorn, during your viewing! Go with a few people, and draw straws for who will miss a few minutes of movie, to score more fresh popcorn for your crew!
First necessary trait for a movie house; great movies! and great sound! Oh, and comfortable seats. (Sure, it may be obvious to you now, but I mean, really! This is rarer than you might think. Sitting for 2hrs or more fully immersed in what Im there for requires an ability to forget my physical surroundings. And THAT can only happen when my toes are not tingling and my butt is not numb!)Then of course, I count a friendly and engaged staff as requirements. And yes, good popcorn too.The _New 400 Theater_ succeeds grandly in all of these!So. Go there. Grab a good hot box of popcorn, settle in to a comfy seat, and lose yourself in something great!
