Channelside

We absolutely LOVE Channelside. I can't believe this place is not more crowded than it is. What a gem to have this so close to Tampa, right on the water. It has seen its share of ups and downs with the economy, but it is always a fun and enjoyable place to be. The movie theatre is great. Love the choice of food, and you can ALWAYS find a good seat. Movie parking is STILL 50 cents if you get it validated. Seems some people are afraid of paying that, and will subject themselves to going over to Westshore in that melting pot of teenage fights in the parking lot. Do yourselves a favor and RETURN to Channelside for movies. Westshore movies just seems like so much work and way overcrowded. You see the same movies at both places. We will ALWAYS go to Channelside first! more

While at the concessions I was a victim of rude discrimination and mockery by an employee and a fellow female employee.\r They laughed at me in my face for around 5 minutes and when I complained the ""manager"" literally put the blame on me without asking for a full story and without allowing me to confront the above mentioned employees.\r ""Operation Specialist"" Adam Rose was extremely rude and literally blamed me for being victim of discrimination!\r I am taking legal steps to resolve that, but also I would like to warn people about the kind of place and employees one will find if one goes.\r Resuming: terrible experience - Don't go if you want to be treated with respect; employees are rude, they discriminate and when we complained, they protected each other without taking an serious steps to avoid discrimination which by the way, is absolutely illegal under any circumstance in this country.\r Beware! Cons: Rude and Inconsiderate Management and employees more
