I was very impressed with my first time coming here. I wish I knew to come here sooner. The lobby, restrooms and theater was very neat and cleaned quite well. The staff was very welcoming and kindly helpful. Snack bar is pretty standard as selection goes, but fairly plentiful. I'm eager to go back again.

Really great, well run theater. Beautiful area, plenty of bar options and restaurants. Seats were comfortable and nicely spaced. Besides popcorn,Davis gives you many drink choices. On this occasion, I saw one of the best indie movies I've seen in a long time called "Shank", plenty of Comedy, cheap violence and Chicago locations. All in all, a wonderful theater and experience. Check it out!

Fantastic no frills movie theater, right off the brown line! We loved the $10 matinee ticket vs. $20 at other theaters. Purchasing the exacts seats online was an added bonus. The seats have seen a better day style wise, but they were comfortable.
