Bow Tie at Annapolis Mall seems to be a step above the competition. I went recently for a free movie courtesy of the Baltimore Sun, so obviously the price was right, but they still impressed me with many other things. First, the prices for when you do pay are just $9 before 6 pm and $11 after 6 pm. And this for a fairly new stadium seating theater in a high rent, high occupancy mall with tons of foot traffic. Their closest competition is a good ways away (not including their other Annapolis location), so they could charge as much as Cinemark at Arundel Mills, but don't. Additionally, the popcorn is popped fresh and tastes good and fresh, without the additional butter. They are also decently priced for their combos (as much as a movie theater is). A large tub of popcorn (with a lib to keep it hot and make it easy to carry, a large soda and a big standup bag of starburst was $13. And the popcorn and soda included free refills. Again, you can't get this elsewhere at these prices, certainly not Cinemark, that would have been over $20. The lobby is also huge and easy to move around. Plenty of restrooms near the screens and one in the lobby. The screen I went in was huge. Stadium seats, arms that move, seat backs that recline. You do have to get up to let someone by, but it's not that bad. Most seats are in the middle, but they do also have two seats on the side if you don't want to have to get up for anyone. The theater itself is just an escalator ride up from the main food court. So, it's easy to grab a bite before the movie. Highly recommend Bow Tie. I may have to drive by Cinemark and Regal to get there, but it's worth the drive to see a first run movie and save some money, while getting good popcorn...
Read moreI go to this theater all the time and I've gone to many theaters and this is the best one. it is not humid! they all are big fat liers, maybe they just had a bad day and the room they say in was the only bad one. the air never had a bad smell. there has NEVER been a rat, that was a lie from that person. trust me, I know I'm not adult but I know that this is a fabulous theater and sometimes it's cold, definitely not humid! the seats have patterns that make it look dirty. some seats are new, they are trying to get money for new ones but some are, u have to find a new one. there is 2 I think in a each theater that recline I'm pretty sure, that's what one of my friends told me. the popcorn is delicious and it's perfectly clean. the arm rests, yes they can be sticky but seriously people, u guys are selfish! u think 10 people can clean every single seat in every single room perfectly! are u kidding me! every night u think they can clean over 300 seats with only 10 people or less every night! I bet u, that u spilled some stuff on there and didn't clean it up. I always clean my stuff up. be nice, maybe if u be nice, they will be nice back. it's a great movie theater and u should trust me on that. don't expect 10 or less people to clean over 300 seats a night and it to be perfect. u don't even know what the employees are going through, we all have our good days. I prefer this movie theater over any of the others in Maryland. it's...
Read moreRidiculously unnecessary and rude. Me and my friends went to see terrifier 3 at the AMC in the annapolis mall. We are 19, 17, and 17. Although the movie is unrated the ticket taker hassled us for our ID's. Me and my friend (19 and 17) had our drivers permits and he accepted them. He said said we had to be 17 to be accepted. My friend only had her school ID. she is a senior, 17 as well. He would not accept her ID and claimed "it could be fake" she is a senior in high school and 3 seniors attested to this and even showed their ID's as well. Despite the fact that her ID has her senior photos and her year of graduation (2025) he would not accept it. He said he would accept A PICTURE OF HER BIRTH CERTIFICATE. a birth certificate to see a movie. An unrated movie. Granted it was gore-y but she was of age. He simply wanted to complicate things. He spent over 10 minutes hassling us before she was able to get a picture of her birth certificate, which he proceeded to zoom in on. To check if she was faking it. Who in their right mind would fake a school ID or a birth certificate to get into a movie. We're adults. Absolutely unnecessary and frustrating. It ruined my experience. He's getting paid minimum wage in a mall and he has the gall to pull that. I get it, retail is hard. Malls suck and people are mean, but that was so petty and immature. I do not recommend...
