    people have their favorite teams, restaurants , foods , but this is my favorite theater. The staff Greg , Shantell and the whole crew are always welcoming . I never have a problem renting a theater here for my special needs families to come enjoy a film here . Thank you AMC

    It's my favorite movies spot! It's always clean and parking is reasonable. It is a bit confusing with the theaters being spilt in two BUT it's kinda cool cause it's less people and it's a vibe

    This is a good move theater for mainstream movies. It's in an odd location, not bad, just odd. It's kind of underground. The theater is split into two parts, each with six theaters of varied sizes. The seats are upgraded lounge type seats. I've been coming here for almost 20 years, and i've seen the transition. The sound is good, as is the picture. AMC doesn't have small popcorn anymore, which is a drag. I go to the movies alone a lot. My wife doesn't have the same movie passion I do. The bigger sizes are way too much. This is a post-covid thing and, i'm sure, meant to increase profits. My most recent visit I made the mistake of ordering the Bavarian pretzel. If 2 or 3 people are sharing it, fine. But it's ridiculously big. It's the size of a pizza. Don't get it if you're on your own, I barely dented it and put it on the ground. What a waste. Having that huge box handed to me in my seat was an unpleasant shock. The theater otherwise is nice. I'll still come here. But i won't get popcorn ever again and I won't ever get that insane pretzel.

    Really solid AMC with some indie theater flare... The AMC Marina Pacifica 12 of Long Beach, California is definitely one of a kind with two seperate buildings divided into two 6 house theaters with 1 thru 6 to the left of the front entrance where the outdoor box office is for purchase of physical tickets, showtimes and movie posters lined around this cylinder mini dome on the lower half of the Marina Pacifica Shopping Center. As well as fun staircases on each side that lead to the parking lot behind it. Naturally these means theaters 7 thru 12 are on the right side. I've never seen a split house theater setup like this, but have been to smaller AMC locations with 5, 6, or 7 screens that had this more intimate neighborhood theater vibe. They have concessions and restrooms on each side as well as their signature MacGuffin Bar with the only downside being that you have to cross through all of this to get to your theaters and or use the facilities. Saw Barbie for a second time with an amazing date in the perfect seats in theater six. Being over six feet tall when I reclined my foot was fully on the seats in front of me as soon as they reclined lol I just propped myself up more... no big deal at all! Everything was really nice including the sound, lights, temperature, layout and the floors. Definitely will be back again soon most likely with the same date. Way to go Marina Pacific!

    My cousins and I chose this theater because it is located centrally to all of us. We decided to watch Joyride here with our respective husbands so we purchased our tickets in advance. My DH and I had discounted Atom tickets from T-Mobile (thanks T-Mobile) so we were able to reserve ours in advance easily. The theater is located near the Eat Fantastic Café, Starbucks, and Buffalo Wild Wings on PCH in Long Beach. Parking is easily found in the shared lot. My husband and I arrived early so we circled a bit to find appropriate parking that was close to the theater but wasn't restricted to time. The theater has been here for years but had been updated for reserved seating. All of the seats recline but there are no seat warmers. To be honest, I enjoy AMC theaters but the nearest one to me is still two cities over, so I frequent the Regal Cinemas more often. The lobby is small and there is a concessions counter. We opted not to get any concessions as we ate at the Eat Fantastic Café next door prior to the start of the movie and went to dinner nearby afterwards. Joyride was hilarious and raunchy. The 4 female Asian leads are fantastic. The movie was executively produced by Seth Rogan, so if you like his brand of comedy, you'll enjoy this movie. All in all, this theater is clean and the seats are comfortable.

    Ask the Community - AMC Marina Pacifica 12

    Is there white cherry in the slushy machine?

    Does this have heated seats?

    Unfortunately no heated seats at this location

    Do they have recliner chairs?

    yes

    Is this a Dolby AMC Theater? Will 1917 be on a special Dolby presentation?

    Unfortunately, this is not a Dolby Cinema location. https://www.amctheatres.com/movie-theatres/los-angeles/amc-marina-pacifica-12

    Is it cheaper on certain days?

    Yes it is if you are an AMC member!

    Do they check bags?

    No they don't check bags. They also have the best popcorn...always fresh and hot

    Are the stadium theatres handicap accessible?? My mom uses a walker and I'm not sure if there's ramps inside the theatres or only steps..

    Yes most theaters are handicap accessible! I know there are elevators that take you up to the handicap seats and most all have ramps large enough for wheel chairs or walkers .

    What time is alcohol served?

    As far as I know as soon as they open....

    Any recommendations on food to order for the dine in?

    Flatbread pizza is pretty good

    Is this amc a dine in theater?

    There's a big variety of food you can order from the concession stand, however it's not like the theaters where you order food from your seat and they bring it to you. They also offer alcohol.

    Are all theatres at Marina Pacifica equipped with recliner seats?

    Yes, they recline back to where you could fall asleep (My friend did). We were in row C and it wasn't too close for the movie. Enjoy!

    I've been a frequent flier at this restaurant for at least fifteen years, and the food and service…read morehave never been anything but superlative. It's been my go-to for 15+ years when I want good food, good vibes, and great ambiance with no trouble. to cut to the chase, we learned the restaurant is now under new [kitchen] management, and to be honest, i wonder if it's private equity in charge now, because literally no one with restaurant experience would've let what happened today happen. For mother's day, with my son and daughter in law having no strong feelings about how we celebrated, I made reservations here a month ago, with my mouth watering for their kobe sliders. We were seated at 1:15p. It was clear from the jump the disorganization for mothers day madness, but we were in good spirits and happy to endure longer than usual wait times. that's what happens when you go out for mother's day. and, my DIL is a server, so she knows what's up. I think our first clue that things were gonna go sideways is when it took till 15 minutes after we were seated to even get menus, waters sometime after that, and 15 minutes after THAT to finally have our order taken. we immediately ordered two drinks and two apps, about 30 minutes after being seated. Just to be clear on two points: we do not at all blame our server for what happened after this; he was clearly overwhelmed with a shitty management team and a too-large section; and, again, we walked in with the expectation that due to a holiday brunch, things would get crazy. So in light of that, I think it's important to just share the timeline: 1:15p seated 1:45p server comes by to take apps and beverage orders 1:55p waters finally delivered 2:10p beverages arrive (55 min after being seated) for ages, we watched others being seated around us (though we noted several tables around us remaining empty as the lobby stacked up with people with reservations waiting to be seated.) it was sometime between 1:35p and 1:50p that my daughter in law started saying that she felt like she should go put on an apron and help them out. she was sitting there telling me and my son how this should be going, and was going nuts watching things go absolutely sideways, telling us everything she could see going wrong and how she'd fix it. of note, at this point, my son and i were just thinking "this is how it goes," but once she explained how all this was going wrong, we were like yeah, wtf. skipping ahead: around 2:20p (more than an hour after we were seated - and note still without our apps!), our server came by for the first time in a minute to take our entree orders and subsequent drink orders. we put them in, and reminded him of our apps orders. he seemed stunned and said, 'oh, i haven't even checked on those, i'm sorry.' he explained what was going on behind the scenes, apologized, told us that two of our three were no longer being served, asked us for replacement orders. i told him, I guess i'll just stick to the calamari as a main, and my son literally told him, "bring me anything." in the meantime, the drinks weren't coming, so after 15 min, my son went to the bar directly and paid for a couple of beers and brought them back to the table within four minutes - so clearly the delay wasn't due to the bar. around 2:50p, my order of calamari finally came out. though the brussels we had also ordered at 1:45p were nowhere to be seen. the calamari was of course ice cold. at that point, i'd had enough. we had all been so patient - brunch/lunch service on mothers day sucks, but we'd been there for OVER 90 MINUTES. WITHOUT FOOD. i grabbed the plate of calamari, went up to the front, was like 'who can i talk to about this,' and they brought out the manager. BELIEVE ME WHEN I SAY that i am not a karen. even in this, i was polite. "look, i know you guys are in the weeds, but i've waited over an hour for one of the five things we ordered, have been now told two of the things we ordered are not being served, and this came out cold, with five orders still outstanding. please tell me how this will be addressed." at this point, we were still happy to give them the opportunity to correct. the manager looked at me with derision and said, 'i'll talk to someone' and waved me away. i dutifully went back to the table to wait. i mean, we were just hungry; none of us had eaten all day. at this point, we were still assuming all would be rectified, though honestly at that point, we were planning to demand comped lunch and just tip our beleaguered server. as we waited, my DIL called another restaurant who confirmed they had no wait, and we gave the staff 15 extra minutes to rectify, and after no one came by our table at all, much less with food, we all walked out, and everyone watched us do so and they didn't say shit. at least restaurant #2 took care of us, but damn.

    This review is only for their salsa/bachata dancing night and the bar…read more The bungalow has weekly salsa/bachata nights that include free dance lessons from 8 to 9:30. The instructors are great and the crowd is fun diverse (in terms of age, background, and experience dancing). The djs are also awesome play a lot of good music. The vibe is fun and high energy. It's nice to see a place that is filled with dancers of all skill levels just having fun and learning to dance. The venue itself is beautiful. They have a large open air dance floor that overlooks the marina as well as a smaller dance area inside near the pool tables. The decore is classy and elegant overall. On salsa nights they have drink specials in addition to the regular drink menu. Lastly I once lost my key fob there and someone returned it to their lost and found. I'm forever grateful to whomever returned it and the staff at the front door / lost and found. Overall it's an awesome place to come out and hang out and dance.

    This place is honestly a joke…read more We waited in line for almost 2 hours while security kept people outside for no reason -- and when we finally got in, there was so much open space inside. It wasn't even close to full. They're clearly holding people outside on purpose to create fake hype, which is honestly pretty messed up. You're telling me dozens of people are stuck waiting forever while there's plenty of room inside? It's giving manufactured crowd and poor management. To make it worse, they stopped serving drinks and turned the lights on at 1:15 AM, way earlier than literally any normal bar. So after wasting hours in line, you barely even get time inside. And it somehow gets worse -- at 1:35 AM they were literally kicking people out of the restroom. We weren't even allowed to finish or wash our hands before being rushed out. That's not just rude, it's straight up unhygienic and disrespectful. Overall, completely overhyped, disorganized, and not worth the wait at all. Don't fall for the line -- it's fake.
