Who had the brain wave to turn a bunch of movie theaters in a mall showing PG-13 movies into a bar at night? So teenagers wanting to go see Gravity buy tickets on line and then discover only when they get all the way there that they cant see the movie? The bar thing by itself is one of the worlds dumbest ideas -- its a movie theater in a mall, for heavens sake, not an art house -- but to sell the tickets on line without a huge skull and crossbones saying "This movie is being shown in a bar; under 21 not allowed" actually tops the original idea for the sheer stupidity of it. There is some boilerplate on the webpage that talks about Theaters 6 & 7 being 21+ and serving alcohol, but nothing that says the PG-13 movie youre buying tickets to is in Theater 6 or 7 or is subject to that restriction. It just sounds like standard boilerplate that applies to something else, because surely no one would do something so ineffably stupid as to turn their shopping mall movie theater into a bar and cut off half their audience.

Not my preferred movie theater. I only come here for the free pre-release movie screenings. Other than that, there is nothing special about this theater to drive all the way to Friendship Heights to watch a movie, especially when you have to pay for parking at all of the surrounding garages. The garage directly below the mall validates up to 3 hours. However, some new movies run longer than 2 hours and you have to consider getting there early to claim good seats so that may take you slightly over the time, which will cost you ~$5. Its one of the older theaters in the area. No reserved seating or reclining leather seats. Typical concessions. They serve alcohol in their Club Bar, which is located towards the back of the theater. There are two bathrooms, but very few stalls. Its located inside of the mall on the top floor. Its metro accessible and has plenty of restaurants in its vicinity. Dont forget to sign up / use your AMC Stubs rewards card when you buy tickets and concessions so you can rack up points!

Went and saw Ghostbusters the other day and was incredibly disappointed. Right in the middle of the screen was a huge stain. You could see it in every scene and was really distracting. It actually looked like the screen had been slimed. When you go to the theater and pay those prices I wouldnt expect to watch a movie on a dirty screen. Why even go to the theater if the screen was going to be like that? I made a complaint to the manager after the movie ended and was met with "yeah thanks for telling us" and she just kept walking away. I wasnt expecting to get a refund or was really looking for one. But the curt attitude that I was the recipient of is why I decided to write a bad review. I hope AMC realizes that if they keep their theater screens covered in stains they should not expect people to leave the comfort of their home and pay for a bad audio visual experience. I will not be going to this theater again and will now be thinking twice about going out to theaters at all if this is what I am to expect.

What sort of mall charges $3 for parking for less than 5 minutes - when THEY are the ones with NO signage at the parking entrance saying they dont open until noon on Sunday. Any other place would let you out for free, but the often rude or unhelpful parking staff hit a new low. Im not shopping here again. Overall the malls not got much - one great store (Corby Collection - hidden away and it would be much better anywhere but Mazza), and Neimans seems to draw some people - but their refusal to take Visa or Mastercard means I dont waste my time there. I wont be bullied into opening a store account and their collection is not good enough to justify such a shortsighted policy.

AMC Mazza is a decent theatre -- although it is a bit far for the city folk to travel -- definitely more a suburban theatre. Its a bit confusing to find the theatre if you are stuck in the maze of the below ground mall -- otherwise its on the 5th floor (if all else is lost, just keep going up -- you will eventually get there). I have found the seating as decent but the screens seems to be smaller to me. Definitely not my preferred location as I live in Columbia Heights -- my recommendation still stands AMC courthouse + reserved seats + couch seats.

This is my local AMC (I live a block away). It is always nice and clean and the theaters are rarely full (maybe a weekend opening blockbuster?). It is very 90s/2000s in that it has nice stadium seating and the theaters themselves are fairly large. It would be nice for an update to the new posh/reclining seats that other local AMC theaters are getting. There is also a bar inside the theater, though I have not used that personally, but it is definitely somewhat unique for the area.

Very poorly run theater. The staff is always unhelpful and unenthusiastic about the job. The only redeeming quality about the theater is its cleanliness. The club section makes no financial sense. Today I saw at least 8 people between the ages of 18 and 21 get turned down to see a movie in the club section. Unless they sold 88 dollars of alcohol in those five minutes, they took a huge loss.

I think this theater is convenient because of the location and ease of parking. The theater itself does not have huge screens, but the space is clean and well-maintained. Ive never had any problems here, and while its not as grand an experience as the Uptown Theater, it is a well-managed theater that is pretty hassle-free. Oh, and the seats are big, and it has an adult area for alcohol!

Pequeño respiro en medio del comercio. Sin grandes pretensiones reúne todo lo que podríamos esperar: buen ambiente, comodidad y un bar adecuado, donde preparan tragos a la carta.

Theater is never crowded when I go but its usually during the week for the sneak previews. Most of the floor level seats (where I sit so I can stretch my long legs) are slightly broken. They seat part tilts downward so its not a comfortable seat. Most other seats that Ive sat in have been just fine though. They do not recline, not even a little bit though.

Disappointing. The location is convenient, and the parking can be validated which is nice. The staff at the concession stand were nice but incredibly slow and inefficient (took me almost 20 minutes to get my order while some people were just standing around). The theater seats were old, broken and uncomfortable.

Theyre an ok theater, not anything special. They do have a bar which is nice. One thing I judge places on is their bathrooms: upkeep, cleanliness, and function - this place fails for upkeep and cleanliness. I went to both bathrooms and I really didnt want to use either.
