I purchased Pop and popcorn on the 4th Floor using my Credit Card. I wanted to purchase M&M's. I…read morewas in line to make my purchase and realized that I had lost my wallet. I was told to go to their booth on the 2nd floor. I was able to talk with a very nice lady manager who looked into the Lost and Found Drawer. Unfortunately it was not there. She offered to assist with a flashlight once the film was finished. She said that wallets often slip,out of pockets into the side of the chairs and said someone will be there with a flashlight to help out. As I was leaving she asked me what I was going to purchase and I said peanut M& M's, she went to get me one and said it was complimentary. She made my day, it was a very professional move, often seeing it in great hospitality awareness. Working in Hotel hospitality for 4 decades it is noteworthy that she did that kind act. Often if a guest was checking in and it was their birthday or anniversary, I sent up chocolate covered strawberries and a bottle of Champagne, or a small Chocolate Cake, with "Happy Birthday ", written on it. I encouraged my employees to do the same. We could send up $100.00 in floral arrangements, hot tea, with honey, and lemon, and a bowl of Chicken Soup if they were sick. It made my day when I was able to do this, once I found out a couple was going out to dinner in Magnolia celebrating their25 th Anniversary. I arranged our Limo to take them there and pick them up. When you're empowered to resolve guest issues, make their stay memorable, it filled me with joy and happiness, just like that manager made me feel... the power of M&M's!

But it's clean and well-maintained, has a nice mix of mainstream and art-house films, offers bulk candy, and is staffed by universally nice people. I ordered a coffee once and assumed I'd need to pop back out to the lobby in five minutes to pick it up--imagine my shock when someone *came and found me* at my seat instead. (Yes, this was before the show.) It was wholly unnecessary, and just the kind of small human touch that makes the Crest such a pleasure. Also, you know how at huge megaplexes you actually have to go track down an employee to report a sound or projection problem? (Or if, say, the wrong film is playing entirely, as happened to me at Thornton Place last summer?) Doesn't happen here because they actually pay attention. I've only ever experienced a couple of technical issues here anyway, and each time the staff was already on top of it.

I am rooting for this movie theater. In its glory days the front windows weren't smashed and the…read morecardboard boxes weren't left in the front entrance with urine stains and needle caps. Even during the homeless days with the Capitol Hill and U District tweens with patchwork jackets and dogs mobbing around in packs this theatre was in good condition. I have over 20 years of memories coming here watching indie movies like Pirana, docuseries to Siff films. I also watched plenty of blockbuster films. My fondest memory is the smell of the popcorn that fills the front space. It is so distinct and the melted butter and grease on my fingers rubbed on my movie ticket is nostalgic. I love the indie vibe of the workers. It was a polite Seattle cool, depending on the era a little emo and punk, with some grunge. The attitude was very U District. I hope this theatre can raise the funds to fix itself up. It is one of my favorites and I hope it doesn't get boarded up. It still has so much life left.

I looked into other reviews prior to going to the Varsity Theatre but it seemed like people were…read moreeither raving or hating on it. At this point it felt like it's mostly dependent on personal preference so I decided to go in and find out. I thought the place is decent. The biggest attraction is that tickets are probably the cheapest in the area. Regular ticket price is around $16 for Seattle but it's $10 at Varsity (as of December 2023). And you get a dollar off if you're a student. Also you don't even have to buy the student tickets in person because you could just order them online (other places like AMC downtown, you have to go in person). I made sure to bring my student ID in case if they want to check, but it was never checked onsite. I think it's a little more shabby than AMC and other more commercial theaters, but it does its job. The movie started on time and there were no issue throughout the movie. I wish they could just shut off the ads before the screen turns on at starting time because you're facing a blue screen that shows nothing while the ad is blasting. On the other hand, I liked that there aren't that many previews to watch through to get to the actual movie I came to see. The bathroom is two flights up the stairs from the ground floor. It's well kept and smells ok, but they probably have to check the toilet paper inventory more often. By the time I went in, there were no toilet paper left at all so I didn't forget to inform the staff that before leaving. The staff was polite and accepted my remarks in good spirit.

The problem I had was with the bathrooms, and it was a BIG problem. The lobby bathroom was filthy. I had to look in 8 stalls to find one that was flushed and/or did not have urine on the seat. There was toilet paper and trash everywhere. The place reeked (stronger than public bathrooms usually do) of urine and feces. I have literally been in porta-potties that were cleaner. I notified the staff before I went into the theater, and when I went to the bathroom again over two hours later, it was still in the same condition. I expect more from a theatre where I spend a ridiculous amount of money and is in a chichi location like Bellevue. I feel like I drove an hour each way to pee in a nasty bathroom. (I live in a small town with a less impressive theatre, but much better bathrooms. I never had this problem in Kirkland Cinemark, either.) At least the movie was good. The popcorn there is tasty, as well. Please, please, please, though, keep your toilets clean. (Also, women moviegoers, stop being so freaking disgusting and wipe/flush the dang toilet!!!)

There is a button you can push to call a server, but I've never had to do that as someone usually greets us shortly after we sit down. From what we've tried on the menu, I can recommend the quesadilla, the mac n cheese, the grilled cheese, and the fried chicken. The fries are really good. I've tried several cocktails and the mule is one of my favorites. The servers have always been really pleasant. One time a drink was not delivered that I had ordered but they didn't charge me for it without me having to ask. This movie venue isn't cheap. Tickets are $20 and the food menu isn't discount. The food is pretty good, and when I compare to what I'd pay for dinner and a movie elsewhere, IPIC comes out in that range. Note that they do add an automatic 18% service charge to the bill which isn't boldly stated. I was glad I saw that in another review and thought to look for it myself. The screen and sound are good. My daughter and I like our fun nights out here and will keep returning.

While SIFF is an amazing theater with one of the largest screens and supports 70mm film, some other…read moretheaters feel better at times. Tickets are about $20, concessions are expensive as with all theaters, but they are really lax on bag checks so on my visit, I saw a lot of outside food and drinks. SIFF is pretty popular for their chocolate popcorn which some people come solely for. It's a nice chocolate covered popcorn but I'd say overhyped. However, to accompany a movie? Pretty solid pairing. On the other hand, very disappointed that they turn off their fountain machine towards the end of the movie so that no one can refill their drinks. Fountain sodas are cheap and the cups are expensive, so penny pinching on that margin is sad. Regardless, it's a good experience and I'd definitely opt to not purchase concessions next time if anything.

This is my favorite Movie Theater in the whole State of Washington!!…read moreThere is no other theater, no other IMAX that compares to it at all! The screen is from ceiling to floor, and then some! It is absolutely huge! The stadium seating combined with the colossus of a screen means that there is not a bad seat in the house! The sound is impeccable and very immersive! Very loud yet well tuned! It will have great sound on both low range and high range frequencies. It is a nonprofit which gives you a little more warm fuzzies that the reasonable cost of your ticket is going back to the community. There are the standard modern concessions, with good popcorn, and also a variety of local beers, wines, and ciders!! Concessions are actually pretty affordably priced compared to other modern day theaters! Best place to see your event movie of the year! Some of the best movies I have seen here were Oppenheimer, 1917, Avengers Endgame, and Star Wars Episode 9. (Somehow, Palpatine returned... terrible movie, but at least the picture and sound were immaculate). Cheers!

My family and I had been looking forward to seeing The Odyssey for weeks. Tickets were sold out…read moreeverywhere, so we were incredibly excited when we finally got them. Unfortunately, the experience was one of the worst I've ever had at a theater. The seating is unbelievably cramped. If you're over 5 feet tall, prepare to be uncomfortable for the entire movie. The seats are small, hard, stiff, and offer virtually no legroom. Sitting through a three-hour film felt unbearable. What concerned me even more was how the auditorium is laid out. Once everyone is seated, you're essentially trapped. There are no aisles running through the seating sections, making it extremely difficult for people to get in or out without disrupting entire rows. It genuinely made me wonder what would happen in the event of an emergency evacuation. The concessions didn't make up for it either. The popcorn was stale, and the overall concession experience was disappointing. To make matters worse, seating is first come, first served, so if you want decent seats, you'll need to arrive at least an hour early despite already having purchased tickets. This theater completely overshadowed what should have been an incredible film experience. I would not return, and I would strongly recommend seeing a long movie somewhere with comfortable seating and a better auditorium layout.
