Redeye Chicago • August 3, 2014Alternately a music venue and a movie theater, this celebrated locale is the perfect place to catch touring artists or enjoy a few beers during rowdy screenings of second-run and classic movies.
jennifer d. • August 29, 2010I love the grainy quality of the films here, and the way the screen is a bit too small for the film. Beer & popcorn is an added bonus, of course! :)
Stacy B. • February 3, 2023Go a little early to order food and drinks while Alamo-only videos play curated to the movie you’re about to watch. Great time. Tickets on Tuesday are discounted to $7.
Eddy G. • November 5, 2015Great place for independent movies
Matt D. • May 21, 2017Quite simply the best movie theater in Chicago. Great programming, even better atmosphere. The best place in Chicago for true movie lovers.
Ricky T. • March 25, 2011Don't forget: Not all movies have been released to DVD, and Facets also has a vast catalog of VHS titles. Can't find what you're looking for on disc? Chances are, it's still VHS-only & Facets has it!
Trina Beana • August 26, 2013The theatre where gangster John Dillinger seen his last movie and was ambushed outside by the FBI. He was shot and killed while trying to escape in the alley. Reports of his sightings since the 1970's
Benji G. • August 7, 2014Brand new seats that have full recline and feet up capabilities... Best movie theater in Chicago by far now!
SPIN • July 19, 2011Pete Wentz calls this his favorite movie theater because it's quirky and different with a little bit of a history. Bank robber John Dillinger was killed here by the FBI in 1934.
Alysha B. • April 25, 2014Beautiful space. Unique and versatile, a definite asset to the theatre community. I look forward to seeing more shows there.
