Landmark's Bethesda Row Cinema

Nice place to see a movie if you want to enjoy an alcoholic beverage. They just remodeled and put in arcade games which makes NO sense to me. They should have put in better movie seating. Those seats have seen better days.The crowd there is older...much older and would appreciate a reclining seat.

The theater is under renovations. However, my experience was great. Everything was clean. The theater staff were very pleasant. I didn’t feel uncomfortable or anything. Also, the AC is definitely working. Things happen. It’s summer and some stuff is out of their control. As of today, no issues to report.

Looks like it's going out of business but people are claiming it's just under renovation. The entrance was bland with the escalator going down into the lobby out of service. Once you descend the stairs into the former fallout shelter you will find a dimly lit bathroom; only 1 urinal out of the 3 was functioning and 2 out of 3 stalls. The theater seats do not recline but that did not stop whomever was last in my seat. The movie picture and sound quality was decent but the first impressions definitely tempered my overall feel of the theater.

The theater is undergoing a renovation so there are "Pardon my dust" signs everywhere in the lobby and it does look bad in there. The theaters themselves are in decent shape, but the entrance desperately needs a sprucing up. The movie I saw was fine and the sound system was very loud. I was able to pick my seat ahead of time and there was no wait to get in and get seated. Parking is a bit of a pain. There are public garages in Bethesda that you have to pay for and are about a 2-3 block walk from the theater, but other than that, the experience was just Okay... at best.

I like this theater because is has great avant-garde shows that you don't find in other theaters. The theater is in an ally, behind a restaurant. So, it can be hard to find if you don't know that. The place is clean and has all the food amenities. Parking garage is nearby, but make sure you pay up or you get slammed with a ticket.

-The air-conditioning was non-functional. It was hot enough to cause people to sweat and with low air flow. Extremely uncomfortable. I've never been in a warm theater in my life. -Screen is small -Sound is meh -Seats are comfortable but hard to get in/out of the row. -One toilet and one urinal working in the bathroom with long line. -Emailed customer service and no response, not even validation email -Called corporate customer service and went to voicemail. Pathetic.

The theatre is currently under renovation; however there’s no note of that on the website. The concession stand barely had any hot items as advertised. The chairs did not recline. I’m sure once renovations are complete it will look a lot better but it would’ve been nice to know this in advance.

I desperately needed something to do to take my mind off of life and decided to try my luck on getting into a sold out Rocky Horror showing. So many other places would have immediately dismissed me but Naomi and Josh worked magic. They not only entertained my antics across multiple phone calls, but they — and everyone else I interacted with at Landmark Cinema — were INCREDIBLY kind from start to finish. I cannot express my gratitude enough!!
