It's seems as the last reviews are old except the one review in 2015 I'm really not sure why all my fellow Yelpers dislike this place. I love it. As you can see from the image I put up the loop has both restaurants and retail stores. All of those extinguishment are different reviews. This review is for the Loop only. The fact that I can go to one parking lot and visit this many stores is what I love the most. You go to dinner and movies and not wast time driving. I'm not a fan of typical malls so strip malls are the way I go. Yes, you can drive to Salem, NH and save some money on taxes however I would rather spend extra money for convenience and time saving. read more

The Loop - What they have at the loop - Cinema Near Me - Methuen, Massachusetts

A decent retail center with several name brand stores and restaurants including Super Stop & Shop, AMC Theaters with IMAX, Old Navy, Marshall's, Gap, Game Stop, Starbucks, Chipotle, TGI Friday's, Not Your Average Joe's, The Olive Garden, and more. The Loop serves my basic needs and I can shop and eat here in peace most of the time. However, I now try to avoid going here on Friday and Saturday nights when the place is overrun with mobs of high school kids. I've see some skateboarding and heelie action here, which is definitely not allowed on the property. Yikes! read more

Its a strip mall with tonz of kiddies running around screaming for mummie and daddie. We like the Macaroni Grill and Joe's and that is about it. Skip the shopping here and go up to Salem and $ave on the tax! read more

The idea behind this shopping center is great and unique to New England, but it falls short in my mind. Love: +Outdoor shopping during the summer...music plays as shoppers venture along the sidewalks from store to store. +The combination of restaurants, shops, and a movie theatre to satisfy entertainment cravings. +10 minute drive from my house. Hate: -The options of stores is weak and the restaurants weaker. Macaroni Grille? Disgusting. Gap? Crap. Bugaboo Creek? I'm in no mood for talking Buffalo heads. -The clientele raises my blood pressure dangerously so. The sidewalks are littered with annoying teens that would make any parent reconsider their choice of birth control. -The movie theatre is a breeding ground for above mentioned teens. And the ticket prices resemble those of Boston theatres...this is Methuen, that is sinful. Oh, but once I did see a 13-ish year old girl pass out and require medical attention near the entryway--that was awesome. -Walking outside during a New England winter...you figure it out. *The Rockingham Mall in TAX FREE New Hampshire is just a short 10 minute drive away. Oh, and cheaper prices at the Showcase Cinemas in Lawrence is a short drive in the other direction. TTYL Methuen!* read more

This place is your average strip mall with many memories: -It has the first "bar" (T.G.I. Fridays) that I ever got cut off. -The Border's I went to Harry Potter book release parties at and may or may not have scared small children. -The Chuck E Cheese that I tried to get into without a child and learned that is a big no-no. -The Loews Theater that me and my H.S sweetheart would go to and make out in the last row. -The Old Navy I used to head to while I was skipping class. It's also where every under age person in a 20 mile radius comes to hang out on the weekend. So avoid at all cost between 7pm friday until Monday morning! read more

So great! :) love the variety of restaurants and the theater. Have seen a lot of movies here

Lowes is too expensive, they rob you of your money. The four stars is for the restaurant choices and Old Navy.

I've been coming here for years. It's been getting very boring. It's basically just a hang out spot for teenagers now. They have the same stores which is pretty boring. read more

There are many large name brand stores in what is really a large strip mall. Many of the locations appear to be new. The parking spaces are small and hard to navigate with a midsized truck, I did not see a great deal of security presence in the area. I was in the Mall for almost four hours shopping and watching a movie and only saw one security truck. Maybe the mall should provide a police substation as is done at the Natick and Holyoke Malls. A second cost free idea is kick Starbucks out and put in a Dunkin and likely there will be some law enforcement traffic. read more

This theater chain is completely unacceptable, it is completely unreasonable, I went to see a new movie with my friends and the theater chain refused to give us tickets since we only had our student IDs with us, which proved we were 18. This is the third time it has happened to me, and I simply want to see a rated R movie as an 18 year old adult, I find it utterly insulting that they insinuate that I am lying about my age. NEVER see a movie here, I would recommend Woburn Cinemas instead, where they treat you with civility. read more

Good stores here. In theory it's a great location for dinner, shopping, and a movie with my friends, but OH MY GOD, there are so many teenagers hanging out on the sidewalks on Friday and Saturday nights that it's frightening (and I'm a middle school teacher, kids don't scare me!). Last Friday night there was a group of kids playing catch by throwing bottles of soda around like they were frisbees, zooming over and through the crowd, then they ran into Border's and probably scared the crap out of all the people shopping there. If the police would make an appearance every once in awhile, it would be a nice place! read more

This is a nice shopping area in Northern Mass. It has shops that are near to me I frequently use. It gets busy on the weekend, but if I'm not here for a movie I will shop at other times. read more

Bathroom was disgusting and as normal in movie theaters food was grossly overpriced. Drink station and condiment displays were terribly unkept. Over a half hour of previews. read more

The Loop is always dirty and there are always kids yelling or swearing and they could use more Methuen cops around to help take care of the problem and The Old Methuen Mall Was 100 Times Better and Lowe's movies could also be a heck of a lot cleaning the bathroom are gross and they always smell and when you go to the movies in Lawrence it is so much Cleaner and so much nicer read more

Recently went to TGIF to meet up with some friends for appetizers and drinks. The drinks were good, the food was good but the service was terrible. I thought everyday was suppose to be a party in there and every employee looked disgusted and annoyed. Every two minutes a service runner would rudely interupt the conversation and asked if this plate was our appetizer, it happened at least ten times. Will give it another try but the customer service needs to be stepped up! read more

It's ok, would be great if it was an actual mall like it used to be The parking islands make it like a maze and they are too tight
