Logan Theatre

My favorite theater. Seriously this is my favorite theater ever. It is small and intimate nothing extravagant, but lovely and irreplaceable in my eyes. They really got it right when they remodeled this place to it’s vintage glory.
If I still lived in Chicago I would use this place for my next birthday party. They have a full bar and a lounge area that can be roped off for private events.

The last time I set foot in here, I paid $ 1.50 for ticket and wore a certain pair of shoes I kept on my balcony just because the floors were that sticky! A dank, dark shell of a place that ran mediocre, second run movies where you avoided concessions because you might literally get the plague, with seats peppered with gang bangers on «date night.» A real treat, but I was poor.
I walked in here for the first time in «- AHEMPHFT -» years, and it has most certainly changed. Amazing lounge area, and a bar with some fine martini making skills! It is an absolute jewel compared to what it was before, and I can’t wait to go back again — could very well become my new go to spot for movies!

An vintage feel cinema, located in an amazing neighborhood, staffs there are so nice and friendly. I love the whole crew Orlando, Elani, Dora, Anna… and many more. They always make me feel like it is my second home

I absolutely love the older movies they play here. It’s close to my house so I need to try and get to them more often. Nowhere else in the city would I be able to go see Taxi Driver or A Streetcar Named Desire in best their form.
Prices are spot on, even for not-​old movies. I’ve seen a lot of Matinees here. It’s a way better experience than Netflix or renting from Amazon, especially in the summer when it’s too dang hot and your apartment has no AC and you just need to get out of the house for two hot seconds.
I could go on, really, but it’s just amazing and I wish I could do more to support this awesome theatre.

Went to Logan when I was growing up. Took my kids there as well. Now taking my grandkids. Love the renovations!

Every time I go back to the Logan, which is our neighborhood theater, I like it a little bit more, and I’m convinced I don’t go nearly enough. The space is impeccable, a beautiful old theater with good seating, a stage, a spacious bar/​lounge, and a fantastic old marquee and sign. The selection of drinks at the bar is pretty standard, but they do their cocktails well; the snack bar has a better-​than-​average selection and good prices (well, not THAT good, but good for a theater). The service is impeccable; I’ve never had a bad experience with the staff here. The movie selection is a bit haphazard, but there’s always something playing worth seeing, and it really gives you an outstanding experience of neighborhood cinemagoing, which is largely vanishing from American life. All hail the Logan!

I love this place. I don’t need high tech sound and video to entice me. This theatre is a short walk from my apartment and watching Star Wars there today on a boring rainy day was great. Place has character too, from the old school lit up décor on the outside all the way to the random movie photos in the bathroom

This place is a gem. I saw a movie here last weekend and it was great. Normal prices at last! 6.50. The seats are very spacious and comfy. Pay to park (lot) across the street. Cute lounges. I didn’t look at the concession stand but I think they served booze? No previews which is a major plus for me!

Theatre is an awesome neighborhood staple. They renovated it a few years ago and it’s beautiful. Still holds a vintage appeal with a homey bar (which you can bring your drinks from into the theatre… huge bonus). They play what seems to be half new movies and half… old school movies, late they were playing Bill and Ted’s Excellent Adventure. Jaws, etc. It has an real charming lounge area next to the bar that people will hang out in, and it seemed that some people will come up just for the drinks and conversation.
It’s just got a ton of personality with everything you’d want out of a modern theatre.

Something great to do when it’s freegan COLD!!! This theater is super awesome, great staff, friendly and accommodating. I think they do a great mix of hard to find classic movies, representing decades like the 80’s! and new releases! I saw, the BIG SHORT here and the movie was great, surroundings were awesome, and staff was very helpful and accommodating, and I cannot wait to return!

I love coming to Logan Theater! They often get movies a little bit after they come out, but that isn’t an issue for me at all. They also will show older movies as well, which I think is great. They seem to be a little less pricey than their chain counterparts too. It’s decorated like an old fashioned movie theater, with old movie posters, a phone booth, and lots of red velvet. My favorite part? They have a bar where you can enjoy a drink before the show or bring it in to the theater with you. I think this is a great addition to a movie theater. Their drink prices are actually really good for the area! I had a Moscow mule-​esque drink for only $ 6! The bartender was very sweet too.

I love when I visit local theaters! It’s the «vintage old-​time» atmosphere with movie posters from different time periods that makes this theater feel more comforting and service an a lot more personable. The staff was surely friendly, assisting with menu options and the huge plus here is have to say is the lounge with the concessions. The lounge area is a great place to relax before and after movies.
I’m definitely returning for another movie!

My first movie experience was at this thearter. I can still remember the movie, Clash of the Titans. This was back in the 80’s. Logan has a very special place in my life and I’m happy that it still stands.
The theater has gone through some changes over the years, but only for the better. It’s now a brew and view, which is a nice touch for movie goers. The movies are second run and they also have themed movie nights like Ron Burgandy’s quotathon, The Blues brothers, and yes even a Grease Sing-​a-​long, which my wife dragged me to. Thank god for the bar. Some special event viewings are done there as well.
So, if your looking for a more intimate movie going experience or a funky movie joint to hang with friends, then this is a great place to start.

I enjoyed our visit. It was clean, and they were friendly,

Logan Theatre is pretty cool, definitely takes me back to the kind of theatre I went to as a kid! Unlike any of the Theater Chains, Logan Theatre seems a bit more personal with it’s service. It definitely gives off an old school feel with it’s decorated atmosphere and obvious history. Space is somewhat limited, it can get a bit crowded, but it’s kind of part of it’s territory and overall experience! I genuinely enjoyed the atmosphere and the crowd.
The little bar is a nice touch too. After bar hoping before our movie, it was nice to top it off while viewing! The snack bar is pretty typical, sticking to the standard Popcorn /​Soft Drinks /​Candy. The popcorn was really good too, as requested with extra butter and a little salt! YUM!
The viewing area is pretty small, I came in with my boyfriend and his buddy to see the latest 007 Movie. We walked into the viewing area 5 minutes before showtime thinking we had plenty of time to find seating… the theatre was packed! We almost got stuck in the very front… thankfully my boyfriend found a spot right at the center, thank god! The viewing area is pretty small, definitely give yourself enough time to find seating, seriously! Picture & Sound quality was pretty great, the seats were just as expected from a smaller theatre — Comfortable!
Overall the experience was pretty great for a movie night, there really isn’t anything negative to say about my experience and first time visit, I am a fan! See for yourself how great this theatre is! I definitely recommend paying a visit, just keep your movie time in mind and grab your seats quick!

Nowhere else often plays the weird movies of my youth as well as newer releases for a heck of a price! And a wonderful bar!

This place is really cool. I came here out of my way because of the awesome Groupon for two tickets and a medium popcorn for $ 12!
I love the price of the movies here. I don’t feel like I get robbed for snacks either– sour patch kids were $ 2 vs. at more commercial theaters they’re closer to $ 5. The low cost of this theater really makes me want to come back!
The movie screen and sound quality was good. I felt the images were sharp, and I was able to clearly hear the movie too! The chairs in the theater were comfy, but not ultra-​luxurious. I’m okay with that.
What’s really cool about Logan theater is the history behind it. Everywhere they have vintage movie posters, and you can really spend a good amount of time looking at them. There’s a display of the history of Logan which used to be called Paramount Theater, built in 1915.
I would definitely recommend coming to this theater! This place has great character.

This is a gem of the west side! I have never had a bad time here, and love the service they provide. This renovated movie house now shows a mix of 2^nd run and classic movies on the big screen. The theaters are modern, and the seat comfortable reclining chairs with cup holders in the arm rests. Add to that the full bar and reasonable prices and you have a great night instore. Bring your friends, bring a date, fall in love with the movies again here.

I’m a huge fan of the Logan Theatre. They screen a good mix of fairly recent (one to two weeks out of major theaters) and older movies. The older films are generally what I’m more interested in. I recently saw «The Shining,» and the experience of watching that film with an audience was one that you just can’t replicate on your couch.
The atmosphere at the Logan is a lot of fun too. Instead of a standard concession stand, it features a snack station and full bar, along with a series of chairs and high tables for hanging out before movies. And yes — you can take your drinks into the theatre with you.
The individual theatre themselves are really nice too. There aren’t a ton of seats per screen, but that makes for a slightly more intimate settings. The seats are comfortable, with reclining backs and plenty of leg room — something which, at 6′ 2″, I very much appreciate.
If you’re looking for something to do outside of the house that is fun and affordable, you should definitely check out this Logan Square staple.

I don’t go to big chain movie theaters, so this is my place for movies! I wish they had more movie choices. but that’s what you get with small.
It’s a super cute prohibition-​era theme, and there’s a full bar too! I usually get a drink instead of snacks, but they have decently priced food. I really like their icecream selection. They have the usual Thor size candy. (I don’t understand why movie theaters can’t carry normal-​size candy bars???)
Tickets are very reasonably priced, and the theater is usually not crowded. We sometimes come for the late night retro movies, which is full of stoners and drunkies, but it’s lots of fun. The screen is not huge, but the theater is small, so all the seats are good.

Meant to write this review awhile back. We decided to splurge and get a sitter to go see Boyhood last summer and had what we to check out the Logan Theater for awhile. We bought our tickets online earlier that day, only to show up that evening and be informed that the air conditioning was broken in the theater the movie was showing in and that it would be very hot inside.
We went in the theater to see how bad it was, and it must have been 90 degrees with 85% humidity… Definitely not bearable to sit through a movie in (a very long movie at that). Ok, so sh! t happens, right? The kicker is that they told us the air had been broken in that theater for at least 3 weeks!!!
Why in the world were they still selling tickets online for a theater they already was unbearable to sit in? We were now out of pocket for a baby sitter and had really just wanted to see the movie. My parents were in from out of town and were with us, and they were also like WTF? I spoke to the manager and they refunded our tickets, but refused to give use anything additional for the hassle and the fact that we were now out of pocket for a sitter just to come there, when they shouldn’t have been selling tickets for this showing in the first place. No rain check ticket… Not even a coupon for a free small popcorn on a future visit. Not cool! Won’t be back…

Great Neighborhood Movie Theater! This movie theater has been around forever and a day. The Vibe of this movie theater is Vintage at it’s best. The Lounge and the Bar area alone is Killer. You have a full bar available, where you can grab a crafty cocktail, and you have a wide range selections of beers to choose from. You have the option to hang out in the Lounge Area as you are waiting for the movie, the Lounge is absolutely adorable.
If you are starving, you can grab ice cream, pizza, and/​or chicken tenders. I decided to grab a fresh batch of popcorn. Top Notch Popcorn! Seriously when you walk into this movie theater you will feel like you are traveling back in time and you will remember why you loved going to the movies in the first place. The truth is movie theaters like this do not exist. In fact writing about it makes me sad because I no longer live here locally, and I grew up with this movie theater literally. So to see all the amazing changes years later… Speechless!
This theater has a special place in my heart. It will have one in yours too…

Why are these things always so hit and miss– Had a Groupon that was about to expire– good for 2 tix and a small bag of popcorn. I wanted to use that groupon and settled to see a movie that I probably would have passed on even if it was free on HBO– but went anyway.
It was the stale popcorn that made me mad. As we sat and tried eating the popcorn, I returned to the concession stand to ask when that popcorn was made, was it possible it was left from the day before? I was told it is made fresh every two hours. It was stale– The young girl behind the counter, could pretty much care less about what I had to say about it, and could have offered me a new bag, since she was popping new popcorn as I was asking about the stale bag… but no.

Big fan of the Logan Theatre. Why?
1. It’s setup as an old fashioned theater, and they recently renovated to accommodate a full service bar /​lounge area. You can go hang out in the lounge for food/​drinks prior to or after the movie if a given movie time doesn’t exactly jive with your schedule.
2. You can take beer into the movie theater itself. Yup.
3. They show virtually any of the current movies that you’d want to see, and they also show a classic movie at 11-​midnight on weekends (such as Big Lebowski).
Finally — one of the best reasons Logan Theatre is so great, is that you won’t have to navigate a sea of kids/​teenagers. It’s typically filled with all adults, and it’s wonderful.

I love this place!
It brings back the days of the movie-​going experience.
First, you come in and have a drink in the bar/​lounge area. The lounge shows old movies, and there’s pictures of old movies. I usually order wine in a juice box, and it’s actually really good!
They show second-​run new movies AND old-​school movies at night. For example, I’ve seen Beetlejuice, Bill & Ted, and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles there (TMNT from the 90s, not the remake BS).
It’s a great time, the renovation was a fabulous idea!

It is my favorite movie place For sure. LOVE being here! Feels just Good. Comfy. I don’t really like those big cinemas. Maybe cause I am just a small town girl… That’s why it’s perfect For me :)
Plus, the Lounge Room is really sweet to.
The Groupon got a awesome deal For Logan Teater lovers. I think is $ 11 For 2 movie tickers and medium popcorn. Enjoy!
