This theater, which is also a bar and a cafe gave me all the feels! Between the old school marquee…read moreout-front, making such a presence on the bustling streets, the plush red velvet seats, the functional red velvet curtain they draw back prior to the start of the film, and the decorative fountains with sculptures, it was such a classy old world joint that took me back to what I imagine movies were like when my grandparents went on dates!!
Everyone was super nice, both the concession gal and the ticket gal! And the patrons too! (This was especially appreciated as I was on my first ever solo travel adventure and don't speak Swedish!)
Tickets are a hair cheaper than what I'm used to
Paying in the states even with the krona/US dollar conversion.
The first showing did sell out rather quickly and I bought the very last ticket for the second showing, even though the theaters are quite large!. (I can imagine with 3pm autumn sunsets and almost 24 hr winter darkness, movies are a popular retreat, so maybe stop by and purchase in advance during those times!)
The seats were super comfy and given with numbers, as if you were seeing a play. The popcorn was fresh (served freshly popped, no butter-they don't even have any) and I was so impressed with the healthy options like salads and pressed juices that were offered, too!!
The mostly popular new American releases were sub-titled in Swedish making it an easy activity for tourist!
A visit here was an all around fantastic experience! By the way, I saw 'Bohemian Rhapsody' and it was outrageous, so was the actor!! (I can't wait for award season this year and the battle between him and Bradley Cooper!!) Even if you're not a fan of the music, it's definitely worth seeing and, this theater is definitely worth putting on your 'things to do while in Stockholm' list!
