MX Movies & Bar - St. Louis, Missouri

Maurice H.

This was about a year ago but I'm genuinely disappointed to have to write this review, but my experience at MX Movies and Bar was, without exaggeration, the worst movie theater experience I've ever had. We live directly across the street and were excited to support a local business, but our attempt was met with utter failure.

The customer service was atrocious, mirroring what seems to be a sadly common theme in St. Louis. The staff were dismissive and unhelpful, creating a very unwelcoming atmosphere.

The cleanliness of the theater was appalling. It was clear that no effort had been made to clean up after the previous showing. Popcorn, wrappers, and other debris littered the floor, and the seats were sticky and dirty. I honestly couldn't tell when the last time the theater had been cleaned.

To make matters worse, one of the staff members began attempting to clean during the previews, creating a distracting and disruptive environment. The half-hearted attempt did little to improve the overall filth.

I'm truly baffled as to how this establishment remains operational. The combination of terrible customer service and unsanitary conditions is unacceptable. I strongly advise anyone considering a movie outing to look elsewhere.

The lady that worked at the concession stand had a HORRIBLE attitude after being asked for a refund on 3/23/25. When asked about the next showing, she didn’t respond, as if she didn’t hear the question. The place was empty, so I can clearly understand why. Thumbs down to the staff( the lady at the concession stand)

I like that they validate parking, the cinema chairs rock a little for all the wiggly folks out there, speakers were good, and there are little table trays you can swing around to put your snackies on.

This theater has been spectacular from the start. Very clean, seating is spacious (every chair is its own recliner), and stadium style seating helps with your view. There isn't a bad seat in here. There's a cool bar just 20 feet away. I went to use the bathroom and staff behind the cash register were singing karaoke. What more could you want in a movie theater? This is the best one in the city, by far.

Honestly I like this movie theater I know it’s not an “AMC” theater but for the area it’s nice to have something like this for downtown residents. I always say the more you put into something the more you get back. So if we patronize it more maybe they can upgrade to something’s that people are looking for.
But on a more positive note: I like the staff, I love that there is a live band playing during the week (they sound good check em out), there’s a bar inside, the parking is good because you can park inside and walk straight to your car, if you’re at a hotel it’s walking distance from your hotel. So yes it’s intimate but as a person that goes on a consistent basis I’m happy!

Awesome place. Diamond in the rough. Bar is stocked. The prices you can not find anymore.

This was the worst movie theater I have ever been to. Do not waste your money!!
First of all, I didn't have any issues with staff. They were very friendly but they cannot save this review.

I was in Theater 3.

Screen: You could see the projectors reflection in the screen itself. Very annoying. But I could ignore it. The screen was also very small for a movie theater.

Seats: They look good but they're pretty bad. Seats are hard and they do NOT recline. They look like reclining chairs but they are not. Also they are squeaky so when you lean back it squeaks. And that was not only my chair...

Sound: Whenever there was bass heavy sound there was a metallic rattling noise from the right side wall when facing the screen. As if some metal panel had come loose.
Whenever there was silent scenes the extremely loud AC would fill the room with noise. Unacceptable and impossible to ignore. The room was cold. I think it was like 65F in there.

Food: 12 dollars for the chicken tenders and chips. These were just frozen Walmart chicken tenders heated in an oven, to the point of being completely inedible! They were bone dry and charred. And as for the chips...a tiny bag of Lays? And this was twelve dollars?!
This is absolutely insane and unacceptable at this price point!! Drinks were crazy expensive as well, I think 8 bucks or so for a fountain soft drink. But at least they were as expected...

My disappointment is immeasurable and I've wasted my money. I wouldn't go to this theater again even if the tickets were free.
