Bow Tie Annapolis Mall 11

Love this theater!
And the mall is wonderful as well!
Don’t go as much since moving a few years ago!

As someone who works in the movie theater business this place did not impress me, the seats looked super old, everyone in the theater would just get up and switch seats. They did however have someone come in and watch for a bit theater checks maybe. Popcorn was not fresh and only one refill per visit? What is that? I will say the sound was awesome it may have been up all the way but that didn’t bother me no military discount which for a place that is based around a military city… Kinda weird. Also no backpack checks, the guy beside me had a burger from the food court. I would go back because it is close to where I am staying but that’s probably the only reason.

Not a bad place to see a movie.
I like the automated ticket machines. 5 PM matinée movie is $ 9 for adults which is ok. Concession stand has plenty of lanes so your not waiting forever for some popcorn. The prices are as ridiculous as most other theaters so you just have to deal with paying $ 17 for popcorn and two drinks lol
Theaters have been clean every time I’ve been to a show and the seats are nice and comfy.

$ 6 Tuesdays. Best deal out there. We did a double feature with a large popcorn, large soda (both with refills) and free candy for under $ 35. A lot of times we pay that much just for two tickets. Popcorn is pretty on point. I wish they sold the popcorn seasoning instead of their pre-​made cheddar popcorn, though. Never had a problem with cleanliness in the theaters or bathrooms, which is much more than I can say about a lot of theaters in the area. Also, never have had a problem with other patrons here, again, unlike many theaters in the area. Membership, while a bit expensive to buy, has some great perks. Staff has always been friendly and polite. This place gives us an excuse to come out to the mall pretty much every week now.

Let me first say that this was my first time here. I am known to talk about something when its not right. But I must say that I was truly impressed by this family owned movie theatre. There was a pleasantness about the folks that worked there. And I didn’t have to stand in long lines. The movie theater was quite nice and the seats were comfortable. The only draw back was that the theatre was cleaned well, the seats were sticky and there was popcorn and spilled soda on the floor. I also didn’t like that, before the movie started, they asked for donations in the theatre before the movie started and came up the isles. I think that should be done outside the movie, you make people feel pressured to donate, when all they are there for is the movie. I also like the fact that snacks in the concession stand are reasonable and not over priced. Overall for it to be family owned, I enjoyed myself and would recommend this establishment for a nice day out

Management, air conditioning and poor performance. Are you kidding me? At the prices they charge and the extra expense of some pop Corn, and on a warm Indian Summer day, they left an almost sold out crowd for Dead Pool sweat and be uncomfortable for 2 hours. Shame on you Bow Tie. Im glad a few people found time to chew your ears out.

Located in a fairly nice size shopping center, pretty easy to spot from the road. Parking is pretty fair for the area.
Bow Tie itself is of fair size, no bells or whistles here folks, but a decent option nonetheless. I honestly didn’t notice too many showings. Once inside, I felt that the theatre itself was kind of small, and not as clean as I would prefer.
The staff were nice, and I like the idea of the whole trademarked lid that comes with the popcorn for sharing. They also have speciality popcorns and such.
I dig the fact that this is family owned, not sure if I would venture out again purposely.

You know what sucks about this theater? Many things. The seats are Horriable. Most uncomfortable theater in Maryland. And you would think at $ 17 for a popcorn and soda they could have renovated one theater at a time. The 2^nd thing 5hat really pissed me off is the cheep ass plastic lids they give you to share your popcorn. Good idea in theory, but have you ever tried to get them on the bucket? IMPOSSIBLE. And by the time you get done trying, your so pissed off, the only thing you can do is vent your frustrations on Unilocal.It doesnt help that I have experienced Harkins theaters in Arizona. Bow tie, you could compare, but you dont. This is a two theater town and I guess your ok with sub par theaters, cheap plastic to save a buck. I have no choice to come here, but I’m not happy.

Good place. The staff is nice and for the most part every time I’ve come here it’s been a pleasant experience. Great place to take kids

Maybe my opinion is biased because of the more luxurious movie theaters in the area, but I didn’t enjoy my experience at all. Went to see Jurassic World 3D. The movie started at 10pm. I get there at 9:40 and am told there’s a line. we aren’t allowed into the theater until about 9:50, which is odd. There were already people sitting in there.
After the first half of trailers run, it’s time for the 3D trailers, which my 3D glasses didn’t work the entire time. Fortunately, it was corrected when the feature started. The picture quality left room to be desired and the seats were uncomfortable with limited leg room. There are much better options elsewhere.

Everyone here made me very uncomfortable… Sexually. The movie ticket has a voice that voice that just was to sensual. Do not take your kids here!

When a great little cozy movie theater has been and I snuck here on our date day and we had the best time it was very clean very cozy and very quiet other than the movie of course I definitely recommend this theater and I would deathly be back again and again

I’ve lived in Annapolis my entire life, so this theater has always been a go to, granted — the other theater in Annapolis is also a Bow-​Tie, and plays different movies, so sometimes you can’t help which you go to. It’s a beautiful theater with stadium seating, and always clean every time I’ve been.
We went to see Taken 3 this past weekend, and me being me — I was late, so we were late, and there were no two seats together. They graciously refunded our tickets and headed to another movie.
The only downfall I feel about this theater is that even after a ton of renovations, they still do not have a ‘purchase ticket by seating’ option, where you select your seats from the available seats on the screen. This option would allow people to determine that there are no 2, 3 or 4, etc seats together — and they need to see a later showing.

Still my favorite theater to go too. Love the $ 6 Tuesday tickets at night they do now.

Great movie theater first time here saw The Equalizer with Denzel Washington. I truly enjoyed this must see action packed movie of the season. Denzel was awesome as usual. Take the time to check it out.

My complaint is how the staff treated us, not with the cinema itself. We tried to joke with the concierge about a military discount (we were in a good mood and excited about relaxing and watching a movie) and she fired back with: «I make $ 7.75 an hour. I don’t make the rules». Clearly she was not in a good mood. We were nice with her, but she was rude to us and when we said we’d go back downstairs to get our tickets out of the machine, she gave us a sarcastic and rude look and treated us like we were being ridiculous. Honestly, she upset us and we didn’t want to speak with her anymore and allow her to ruin our night. I asked her why she was being rude to us and she looked at me like she was completely confused as to the allegation and kept asking me what I meant. I guess that means that’s just her personality? How about learning some professional customer service skills? There are plenty of people out there who would be thankful for $ 7.75 an hour. Count your blessings.

Nice clean place to watch a movie. Newer Stadium theaters make this seem dated. Theater is up the escalator in the food court. Kind of odd a day could be difficult to locate if you’re not aware.

Wow nicest bowtie cinema I’ve ever seen. Looks brand new. Stadium seating, thx certified dolby 7.1 sound. Clean and comfy chairs!
Only way it could have been better is if the seats turned into beds and popcorn was dirt cheap

At some point, a theater has to realize that it is better to ensure upkeep of your establishment over time than to wait until it totally has to be overhauled? Or maybe that’s their big master plan. Just wait until the rebellious kids destroy the theatre and then renovate the entire place and make it a big deal. In the meantime, it’s getting old. The carpet could use some cleaning. It smells a little musty. The front popcorn station is never open but the smaller one is inside past the ticket stand. Even if a place is older there can still be heart and soul in the maintenance… like sweeping up popcorn and keeping the bathrooms filled with paper products and clean.
I have an even better idea! Make this a dollar theater! We need one. And I don’t mind paying a dollar to see a movie here. It’s way better than the full price tickets they charge now (with no discounts).

I’ve read some of the other reviews on here, and it looks like the really bad ones are a bit older. I’ve been going to this theater for almost 3 years, since I moved to the area and have never found it to be dirty or unpleasant, at least as far as the functional part of it goes. With that said, their prices are out of control. $ 10 for a regular ticket is ridiculous, although they do have $ 6 tickets on Tuesday nights for the Criterion Club members. Concession prices are ridiculous, but that’s pretty common everywhere.
The sound is good, and the picture is good for regular movies, but don’t waste your money on any of their 3D offerings, as you really won’t be able to tell a difference and will just leave feeling like you were ripped off, which you were. The seats are OK, not the most comfortable I’ve ever seen, but not the worst.
Parking at the mall can be a huge problem, but they do have a garage with an entrance directly into the mall from the second floor… just be careful, since the garage is one of the worst designed I’ve ever seen, with sharp turns and blind spots galore. They do have automated ticket machines in their lobby area, but if you’re a member of their Criterion Club, you can’t use your card to earn points or get your discounts at the machines, you HAVE to go to the counter. They do have a special «Concierge» counter for club members, but it’s not staffed all the time. If nobody’s there, you have to go down into the food court of the mall and buy tickets at the box office there, which is a bit of a pain, especially when the mall is crowded.
My biggest complaint is that the staff make no effort at crowd control, especially when there’s a bunch of teenagers there. I’ve been to a couple of movies where the theater was packed with teenagers who talked and texted through the whole film and nobody said a word, even when people went out to complain. When you pay as much as these movies cost to see a film, you expect to be able to actually hear it, but the management doesn’t seem to care about your experience once they have your money.
One note: Hold on to your ticket stubs, and if you’re hungry after the movie, Johnny Rockets downstairs will give you a discount if you show your ticket stub.
