π Family Action Verdict
Best suited for families with children aged 10+ or teenagers being treated to a special occasion. The luxury pod layout, full bar, and attentive service create an adult-leaning atmosphere that older kids appreciate. The lounge area with pool table works well for pre-film time.

βIn Pasadena, I have walked by IPic Theater many times and have noticed it only once or twice. I was in the area for a different task then decided I wanted to see a movie. My initial assumption all this time was that this theater was a hole in the wall that screened older movies. I was kind of confused when my ticket was $25 but then I understood why. Lol. Sorry guys for my naivete. IPic is a beautiful facility that does not show off its luxury from the outside. It is a Dine-in Theater with a full lounge and bar. There is another level where you can play pool. Happy Hour operates between certain hours, but they do have an extension menu with more choices. I was happy to find a couple of dishes that were within my dietary restrictions. Plus, you have the option to veganize your meal. I asked if there was high fructose cornsyrup in the drinks and there was none. The water was fresh and good. I ordered the brussel sprouts. You can have them without the parmesan. The dish was flavorful. I just wished they were cooked longer so that some pieces were not so difficult to chew. They were still a little raw at the root and I just could not bite into them at all. Otherwise my experience was delightful. Blankets provided. Movie was great. Clean restrooms. I will definitely attend again.β

βI wish I could give 5 stars ! It was AMAZING - staff was exceptional from start to finish- even escorted us to our seats- It is my husband's and I 15 year wedding anniversary- all we wanted to do was watch a movie - chill and eat- the ambiance is unmatched-. UNTIL...... when the movie was rolling the credits as it ended - I was contemplating if I wanted to take my filet mignon slider home with me - employees were cleaning and I notice Edwin ( manager told me his name ) picking up food off plates and concealing them in his hands - bro had TWO sliders on hush mode in the palm of his hand. In my head I said aint no way! We made eye contact- before I got up I coughed crazy and dropped the slider on the floor, put it back on the plate and walked out - I told my husband and said I am going to act like I left something in there . I SAW EDWIN PICK UP MY SLIDER- walk to a corner and eat it !! NASTY NASTY ! spoke to management because what? They served us our food !!!- how hygienic is Edwin - he could've waited until all patrons were gone. I loved the place and was about to become a member - I'm not sure I'll go back ..β

βThe interior of IPIC Theatre is unlike a typical cinema - itβs upscale and stylish. After entering, you go down two escalators. The middle level has a pool table, and the main lounge area on the lower level features cozy sofas, a full bar, and a menu of delicious food, drinks, and cocktails. Inside the theater, every seat reclines and comes with a clean blanket. If you need anything, just press the silver button on the table and a friendly staff member will assist you right away. Their service was exceptional - I absolutely loved it! Tonight, I ordered the filet mignon sliders and a Coke. They also provided snacks, popcorn, and even mint candies with the Yelp logo. Enjoying tasty food while watching a movie felt so relaxing and luxurious - itβs definitely a great spot for date nights too! One note for anyone planning to drive: if you park in the structure behind the theater, thereβs no validation. Parking is $10 for three hours - just something to keep in mind!β
