βJust back from watching Goodfellas, firstly cost, I mean Β£4 to see a classic on the big screen. Environment - a haven for introverts and obsessive film lovers - clean, welcoming and takes you back to the time when going to see a movie was a special night out- it just looks and feels so retro, because it is. What enhances this environment - kind, attentive and laid back staff, they care. The contrast is so stark when you've had to navigate the shark invested shops in Oxford street and that's just the shop assistants. I'll be back and look forward to seeing more specially chosen classic, indie, international, left field, popular movies at a cinema that love us film nerds.β

βThe bar is very cosy, warm and relaxing. The staff are helpful, friendly and kind to customers of all ages. I truly enjoyed spending time there. Itβs a calm and comfortable place, also perfect for those who enjoy reading. Iβll definitely be back soon, even to watch a film.β

βThe birthplace of British cinema is truly a place to check out if you like a good old independent movie theatre. I discovered it as an MA student in UoW but come back for special screenings over the years. Was so great to see Die Hard on a big screen!β
