    I don't know what the locals think but are all theaters this big up yonder? This one had more seats than I've ever seen. This theater was so clean compared to the ones we have in Pennsylvania. Every person was super friendly. Ya'll are spoiled.

    Theater 18, AMC plainville CT.

    Go here a lot gets worse every time. Went to 730 showing Resident Evil sun sept 20, 2026. Woman's bathroom had several bathroom stalls out of order running toilets and not working. Few that were had stuff in toilets had flush before using some wouldn't flush what was in toilets. Was in theater 18 sat in top row. One row below in J at far end was group middle eastern guys and yes that's what they were talking throughout whole movie loud and inconsiderate to rest people in theater not that they would ever care or know proper respect for a movie theater. Freaked of weed was disgusting sitting near. Several people were upset. I finally went down told employees exactly where they sat and how they were acting. Not sure if because of who they where or what but employees said they'd handle it they went to lady possibly manager for that night and I told them again how many and location they said they'd go in. Yeah they didn't. Whole movie with loud rude scumbags. Besides them the seats we where sitting on were slightly offset rest chairs and they don't recline to well. Won't be going back at night again and with prices being as ridiculous as they are kinda hard to justify spending so much on a miserable movie experience. Where we are from if we complained they'd go right in and tell them shut up or they'd be out here they clearly didn't care or were afraid to confront them. Between me and guy in next row we were both about to call them out but I didn't want to have this escalate and possibly get violent.

    Got to enjoy a yelp event here. The theater was comfortable. Loved the reclining chairs . The staff was very friendly. I got to enjoy a complimentary popcorn and soda. The soda machine had many options and there was a station with salt and butter.

    Enjoyed a movie here with my mother. Staff is friendly and helpful. Large variety of theaters here. Concession stand was good too.

    Employees must wash hands

    Employees handle tons of food. There's no soap in the bathroom which means they are returning to work with urine and fecal matter on their hands. Absolutely gross!

    This is definitely the better AMC in the area. They show more movies and allow IMAX and Dolby, which is a game changer. The popcorn and drinks are hit or miss. And there's always ample parking. Warning: the bathrooms are always filthy.

    "I'm working so hard, I'm working for the company I'm working so hard to keep you in the luxury" (Jagger/Richards) Luxury is the key word of your AMC Plainville 20 Experience. Big luxurious upholstered chairs that will likely put whatever you have in your living room to shame. And if you can locate the push button below your cup holder, you'll discover that your seat will recline as the footrest ascends. The theater is neat and clean and downright gorgeous. The sound system is fantastic and the place rumbles and vibrates accordingly with the action on the screen. And the quality of the images on the screen were crisp and clear. We bought our tickets at the lobby bank of kiosks and reserved our two seats. By not patronizing the concession stand we interacted with zero human beings - no cashier, no ticket taker, no usher. Nada. We just came back from the 12:05 showing of The Boys in the Boat. Our Senior tickets were nicely priced at $10.09. Thank you for a fantastic customer experience.

    I am extremely disappointed with the experience I had at AMC Plainville this evening. My family and friends are avid movie goers; most of have AMC A-List and after tonight's experience, we do not know if we can continue to support AMC. A group of 12 of us went to the movies to see the new Captain America movie; we all were in the same row but entered the theater at different times since some of us ordered from the concessions. One hour into the movie, an AMC worker entered the row and asked my friend to follow her out of the theater. Security was waiting at the front of the theater. A few minutes after my friend did not return, his girlfriend, my dad and I left the theater to see what was going on. We walked to the lobby to see 7 AMC workers surrounding my friend. We immediately walked over and asked what was going on, in which my friend told us that they are accusing him of recording the movie on his phone. The only evidence they had was a picture of a screen which was incredibly grainy, and you could only see the back of a person's head holding a phone. The picture was so grainy, you couldn't really even identify this person at all. They stated that the person in the video recorded the first 35 minutes of the movie, including the previews. My friend and his girlfriend MISSED the previews since they were ordering $70 worth of concession stand food (they have the receipt to show the time when they ordered the food) so obviously the person in the video could not have been him. Even the young woman who served them the concession stand food (who was one of the AMC workers surrounding my friend, which again why did they need to have 7 workers, including a security guard, surrounding him for allegedly recording a movie) confirmed that she served him at concessions. My friend also showed the AMC workers his photo library to show them that he did not record the movie at all and they said that he could of already "sent it, emailed it, or send it to the cloud." They told my friend that he needs to leave the premises or they would call the cops. My friend asked them to call the cops. The police officers arrived and even said that they don't think it was him in the picture (because even grainy, looks nothing like my friend), but said unfortunately since AMC is a private company they have the right to have people removed from the premises. My friend was being extremely respectful and understood that there was nothing that can be done other than contacting corporate at this point. Extremely, extremely disappointed in AMC. Like I mentioned, we are avid movie goers. Even during COVID, we would rent out private theaters so we can still continue to support and it's something we always look forward to doing. This has tainted our experience so much. AMC workers absolutely profiled my friend as someone who would record movies illegally and I'm writing this review to warn others. They escorted him out of the theaters and as they were walking to the lobby, my friend politely asked them who they were looking for and they were silent. They literally treated him as a criminal without having any legitimate proof that he did anything wrong. They also surrounded him in the center of the lobby area, as many people walked by and it was extremely humiliating for my friend. We are considering never supporting AMC again unless this situation is rectified. We have spent thousands of dollars at this theater just to be treated like criminals without proof.

    Me sitting in front of my seat I love these little tables that they have here

    The seats were really comfortable they reclined the theater was very clean and they made everything fresh for us. The movie quality was really good I really enjoyed honestly how clean the seats were the most. They offer a wide variety of popcorn sizes and snacks and drinks. They have mozzarella sticks and sliders as well as hot dogs and candy. They have slushie machines and the soda machines where you can mix match or pick from a bunch of different types.

    My movie spot! I signed up to be a free AMC stubs member and with my membership it includes 5$ Tuesdays! What a affordable option to take the kids out for a nice relaxing evening. Forget taco Tuesday, this is my new to go! Along with the great ticket price deal, AMC also included 5$ popcorn and icee deals til Jan. 2023 which was a hit for all us to be able to enjoy a nice snack during the show. Tonight's movie choice was Wakanda Forever which ended up being phenomenal. The recliner seats were clean and cozy and the quality of the big screen and sound were on point. The crowd was moderate and seating was spread out which was nice. I love the option of buying online and picking your seats before you go. Such a great feature and such a convenience to be able to book ahead. I'm so excited to see what the girls pick for the next Tuesday movie night!

    First time Lounging at this Joint.

    Still in business? I have driven to here twice in the last two months and it's closed. No signs--…

    It's still in business. I go there all the time, and don't usually see too many staff members; most of the purchasing you do there (tickets, concessions) can be done through a computer, which may be why they don't have much staff and aren't picking… 

    I've seen the kiosks, but i was wondering if they have a slot for dollar bills to pay? if not, then how would you pay if you don't have a card?

    If the self-serve kiosks don't have dollar bill slots to pay, there are still regular registers where you can see an attendant to get your tickets.

    Are there recliners in IMAX theater?

    Yes!

    Let's get into some great eating guys! I ain't ever been to J Timothy's, but I was recommended…read morethis place at work when I mentioned to some co-workers I would be going to the AMC in town where I got to see the first two episodes of "Lion". Honestly, after reading the reviews, I wasn't too confident I would even be able to eke on in for dinner, but my God was I able to get in, and thank the LORD I was able to find a parking spot with such a full lot of cars! What started as a solo trip to J Timothy's became a welcome table event when fellow Yelper Angie showed up with her husband and invited me over to their table. I'm SO glad we were able to have that happen! It became one of the best post-event dinners I've had yet. It did take a bit of time to decide between the three of us, but we eventually split our checks, with me taking care of my order and Angie taking care of the rest. We had Kate as a waitress, and might I say, she was not only nice and efficient, but she was very knowledgeable of the menu and very helpful and accommodating. I immediately requested a take-out box and she delivered just like that. She was even knowledgeable on what foods and such were made in-house and what wasn't, which is honestly very impressive! Also note, we all got to have a taste of everything that came in tonight, so we got lots of food to get to! We did have the wings for our appetizers. I did the 10-wing Dirt Style Honey BBQ Gold for mine, and they got I wanna say 20(?) Buffalo wings. They were cooked to perfection, and I was able to twist the bones off the flats. Both flavors were good, but even though it could possibly be my bias talking, I did prefer my flavor of wings. I will say the Buffalo had that signature spice level there, but it didn't overpower the wing, which is awesome! Oh, and there were also the potato skins which was rated perfectly, and that tasted really good as well. For the entrees, this is why I immediately requested the box. My order was the full rack of ribs. Angie got the chicken pot pie. Usually, I don't eat pot pies, but the one Angie ordered was honestly very good. Flaky, buttery crust top, and savory filling or chicken, potatoes, peas, etc. As for my ribs, whenever I tried to cut them, all the meat kept falling off the bone! That's how you know it was cooked properly! And dear God were these ribs were delicious, succulent, and delicious! Did I mention they were delicious? The BBQ sauce was a symphony of bliss that helped make each bite of rib taste like I went to Cloud Nine! The coleslaw it came with was good, but it's not something I would say can compete with the South. But good all the same. Drinks were great too. I got the Dragon Fruit Martini(?), and that was sweet and relaxing to have after a long summer and a long drive to Plainville. Oh, and we also got dessert! Again we picked different things: Angie ordered the "Not Fried Chicken" while I went with the Key Lime Pie. Wherever these guys get their key lime pie from, keep them coming and let me know so I can get some more myself! The raspberry sauce was a great choice for accompaniment and complimented the pie nicely. And the slice was divine! The Not Fried Chicken is a very innovative idea, and it tasted good as well. I can see now why this place gets so much love. It's insane how good this place is in just about every aspect! The sink did take a bit to learn, but that was about my only criticism, other than that this place easily gets 5 stars from me, and I am so glad to have had this dinner with Angie and meet her husband. #KeepYelping

    A friend of mine took me here for lunch after church during a recent visit to CT. The interior was…read morerustic, comfortable, and spacious with 2 levels. We chose booth seating on the 2nd floor, which was cozy, and boasted a cool view of the downstairs area. For my beverage, I chose the Cherry mocktail, which was oh so fizzy, refreshing, and a nice mix of sweet and tart. We shared the Chili Dirt Wings and Fried Calamari. The Wings were fried twice and generously sauced. They were satisfyingly crispy and full of bold flavor with a bit of a kick. The Fried Calamari was light and crunchy. I had a tough time selecting my entree, but finally went with Taverne Grilled Meatloaf. This dish consisted of beef and pork meatloaf, loaded mashed potatoes, and mixed vegetables. The Meatloaf was cooked perfectly on the char-broiler, giving it a slightly smoky taste and bit of caramelization, then smothered in a tomato glaze. Meatloaf was delightfully tender and well seasoned. Loaded Mashed Potatoes was mouthwatering, covered in melty cheese, bacon, and scallions. Veggies included carrots, zucchini, squash and had a great consistency, adding a fresh element to the dish. For dessert, I had to get one of my favorites: Sticky Toffee Pudding. Their version was a moist, dense sponge Bundt cake with caramel sauce. It was decent, but overly sticky sweet even for me. Service was solid. Our waitress was welcoming and knowledgeable about the menu. Everything came out in a timely manner. If I return, I would want to try the Shepherd's Pie, Boneless Braised Short Ribs, or Pierogies and Kielbasa.

They've since expanded the size of their tasting room into another huge, open space full of high tops and comfortable lounge seating along with a bar mixing up creative cocktails. The new space also has tons of pinball machines and other games. We stopped in after a movie on a Friday at about 6:30. There were a few groups hanging out but it wasn't too busy at all. It was pretty chill vibe, and I got the sense that a lot of locals frequent them, which is cool. We hung out for nearly two hours and by the time we left the only other folks there were at the bar in the front room. The beer is still good! I did want to try some of their cocktails though. They have some pretty creative cocktails made with interesting homemade syrups, shrubs, and the like. I tried the Honey Don't which was tart but well balanced. I wished it was a little spicier, but I am a spice fiend.Then I felt for something a little sweeter so I went with the Poolside gossip. All the different ingredients really combined into a unique and delicious flavor! I really enjoyed what they have going on. The space was comfortable and relaxed and there's something on their drinks menu for literally everyone, plus entertainment. They have small snacks available, but you're also welcome to bring your own food. So it's basically like a very relaxed bar. We'll definitely be stopping in more frequently!

    Relic Brewing is a craft brewery that opened in Plainville, Connecticut in February 2012. It was…read morefounded by brewer Mark Sigman. Although his professional background was in advertising, Sigman had been an avid homebrewer since 1994. Eventually he decided to open his own brewery. Sigman chose the name "Relic" to reference his world travels. Aiming to craft artisanal ales inspired by flavors from around the world, he thought of himself as more of a chef than a brewer. Sigman doesn't brew beer based on which styles are trendy, but rather beers that he personally enjoys with tastes that he views as complimentary or exciting. I have visited Relic Brewing multiple times since I first became serious about craft beer in 2013. At that time, Relic was one of maybe 10 breweries in the state (today there are over 100). Of those original 10, only half remain in business. The taproom was very small during my initial visit: about 10 square feet and they only served small free samples. I recently stopped there with my older son because it occurred to me that I hadn't been there in at least 10 years. A lot had changed! In 2016, a full bar was added and Relic began to serve full pint pours as well as craft cocktails. A large back room addition opened in 2019, which featured a fully furnished lounge and a pinball arcade slowly evolved. When I first arrived, I ordered a taster flight which featured "Oktoberfest", "Nebraska IPA", "The Whim" (New England IPA), and "Double Whim" (Double New England IPA). I grabbed my flight and headed to the back room with my son. He was so excited to play the pinball machines and other various arcade games. The two of us had a nice father-son bonding experience playing pinball as I also enjoyed my beer samples; the "Oktoberfest" was my favorite! If you like great beer paired up with pinball, then head down to Relic Brewing!
