Screens good but service is non existent. Never have ice, no salsa , often out of pepsi max. Toilets filthy all the time. Staff doesn't smile. Either there is no management or haven't got clue what entertainment means. read more

As Ireland's only IMAX-capable cinema, the IMAX theater performance was great, large screen and thundering stereo. A great concession snack place with a huge variety of snacks, drinks, and ice cream. But the chairs left much to be desired. No adjustable reclining back, and the armrests were old and the paints were falling. Also the spacing was rather narrow. Still, the overall experience was good. read more

Cineworld Cinemas - IMAX theater - Cinema Near Me - Dublin, D

Came here with some mates, was left sorely disappointed for the size and prowess of this venue. Came here to watch The Wild Robot with some friends. When I arrived all the ticket retrieval machines but one was broken, forcing 30+ people to wait in one line to get the ticket. We then went upstairs and the whole place was either broken, closed, or dirty beyond belief. Felt disgusting being in there. Additionally, the bathroom was in terrible condition, beyond description to the point I could even use it and had to wait. The whole theater has let themselves go. Staff were nice but overall a disgusting experience. Would recommend going to Dundrum or other theater in the Dublin area read more

This theatre is huge but could use some updates. The seats do not recline, they're cloth, the arm rests do not go up, and the rows are really close together. Outside the screening rooms, the theatre looks more modern. The bottom floor has a small guest service/ticketing desk and the typical movie posters advertising new flicks. There are also self-service ticket kiosks on the opposite wall. There's also usually a stern looking security guard. Once you head up the escalator, you'll come to the concession stand. It's brightly lit, and on either side you'll see "help yourself" candy shelves, where you can fill a bag with as much candy as you want. Adjacent to concessions is a Baskin Robbins stand, which I found really surprising. Sometimes it's manned... and sometimes it isn't. I'm sure you can ask someone in concessions to scoop you up some overpriced ice cream though. On the next floor, there's a bar with TVs and such. I'm not really sure why you'd pay to screen a feature and then sit in a bar with small TVs, but maybe you have some time to kill. It looks pretty nice in there though. If you're in Dublin, it's a fine place to see a film. Just don't expect the experience to be luxurious. read more

When I stayed in Dublin for two weeks I needed a night without pub hopping. So I took in a movie at Cineworld Cinemas. Unfortunately my sober night didn't last long as this movie theater has a bar in it! So before the movie I had a few drinks with pals. By the time the movie started we were slightly buzzed and chatting about where to go to drink after the movie was over. Oddly enough I can not remember what movie I saw here, but the drinks were delicious. read more

Cineworld Cinemas - Cinema Near Me - Dublin, D

Cineworld on Parnell St is Dublin's biggest cinema with 13+ screens and is the hangout spot for everyone who dislikes the weather, is sick of pubs, and for all blockbuster enthusiasts. That said, the cinema is busy every time of the day - come here early in the evenings to avoid a sold out show. The good: - specials available: online booking (10 euro per ticket) or monthly pass (20 Euro per month with unlimited access and 25% off food & drinks) - variety of screens - all the latest blockbuster movies - bar on the first floor The bad: - some seats need an overhaul - people: when the two girls on your right get comfy and put their feet on the seat in front of them, and when that idiot on the left finally finishes his crackling popcorn bag after 30mins only to continue with a rustling bag of sweets, you know you're in the cinema Fair enough, I personally have a low tolerance for people that show no respect to others so I might not be the perfect cinema goer. I do, however, appreciate this Dublin institution. read more

Cineworld Cinemas - A good Guinness at the Cineworld Cinema's bar is the perfect way to start a movie night. - Cinema Near Me - Dublin, D

Now I know chains aren't strictly allowed on yelp but I'm going to make an exception for Cineworld. Its gone under a few different names, moved a couple of hundred yards down Parnell street but its still, in my humble opinion, the best multiplex in Dublin. I really wouldn't go anywhere else, partly because of the unlimited card, you pay €20 a month and get unlimited movies. Aside from this the place is huge, well kept and shows a huge selection of movies and genres. Screen 17 is probably the biggest and best in the place. Lately Its been moving into the IFI and the Lighthouse's turf by showing what more 'art house' type movies. I think it's good move though, the more variety the better. Yes it's losing a a point for the very overpriced popcorn and confectionary, €2.20 for a small bottle of water, c'mon lads! The bar is a nice touch though. read more

Cineworld on Parnell Street is the king of cinemas. It makes other movie theatres look bad. Not only does it have something like 20 screens, but it spoils its customers with all these frills. First off, there's the bar on the second floor which is kind of expensive but has a good atmosphere. It can be nice to get a drink before settling down to watch a two hour movie. Secondly, there's the concession shop on the third floor where you can find all kinds of snacks to rot your teeth. It's hard not to go Miss Piggy when you have such a large selection of jellies. I spent 15 Euro on sweets, a popcorn and a drink last time I was there. Lastly, this cinema has arcade games which my boyfriend cannot resist. The games are a total ripoff but he seems to enjoy the thrill of almost winning an Ipod. I think I should also mention that the reason Cineworld is so popular is because it plays a good selection of blockbuster and indie flicks. It always something for everyone. read more

If ya wanna go to a movie while in the city centre, your best option is either the Lighthouse or Cineworld and, seeing as the Lighthouse is unlikely to be showing Hannah Montana: the 3d concert experience, Cineworld is more likely to cater to the average film goers tastes. It's a massive, towering cinema with something like 13 screens, and if you wanna see a blockbuster, Cineworld is the only place to go really. Definitely recommended. Avoid the hot dogs though. Not so good. read more

I am definitely a fan of Cineworld. I have the Cineworld card and for €20 a month, you can go and see as many films as you want. This is amazing value as for me to say, I love the cinema is an understatement. Once you have the card for a year they bump up your membership. It means that you can get around 20-25% off your food and drink - so large popcorn and large drink for 6 something. And yes, I finish every last pop. Before I didn't like that you couldn't book on line with an unlimited card, so a lot of the movies would be sold out but now, much to my happiness, you can book online. So by booking on line, I get to see the movie I want without queuing and non memberships get 10% off. I did try to broaden my horizons with the Odeon and Dundrum but didn't see any much difference. OH and did I mention they have Ben and Jerrys peanut butter cups icecream. Scrumptious. So now, I have to see two movies, one for the popcorn and one for the icecream. But sure, it's practically free (so I keep telling myself).I am definitely a fan of cineworld. I j read more

Cineworld is probably my favourite cinema in Dublin. It's located on parnell street right tin Dublin city. It has about 17 screens and shows all the latest movies, as well as some more foreign films, and it is always running various festivals where you can see more obscure/arty movies. The screens are big and the seats are comfy, and even though the queues are sometimes long, you're never waiting for a great length of time. My favourite part is the food counter - sweets, popcorn, hot dogs, ice creams and fizzy drinks...mmm read more

Cineworld Cinemas - Cinema Near Me - Dublin, D

The movies shown here are definitely mainstream variety, with very few independent films being shown. Arthouse Cinema this is not but that's ok. Sometimes you want to plop down and view the latest terrible chick flick, gory thriller or, in my most recent visit, one of the best movies ever, Up, in 3D! Cineworld is huge and spans many floors, each filled with large theatres showing the latest films. Seats are comfy and not assigned, so get there earlier and you'll get the best spot in the house. Other plusses: Staff was friendlier than the usual bored-as-shit movie theatre workers and the student discount is good. read more

This is the closest movie theatre to where I live so I came here to see Big Hero 6, and have been here before on numerous occasions. There are many screens with many viewing times, and the screens themselves are quite big too. The seats are comfortable, it's nor hot/ cold and there is also a good variety of snacks and ice cream. It's probably one of the biggest movie theaters in Dublin, and their online booking is really handy. Negatives are that the staff are not very friendly. I've been served by rude ticket staff a few times before so now I mainly book online. Another thing I noticed is that the ads for the movie I saw were like 20~25 mins long with all these trailers and clips. They're usually 10 mins at other theaters, or maybe it's just Disney movies. An Update: I saw Inside Out just recently and there was 20 mins of ads and clips as I arrived 10 minutes late and sat through 10 minutes of ads and a short animation before the actual movie started. Also, there's always a slow moving line on weekends, so I'd say arrive with plenty of time on hand if you plan to buy your tickets at the counter. But weekday tickets are cheaper, and they offer a student discount. You they started to now do seating allocations which weren't there before, but you can only choose between back, middle or front as opposed to the exact seat location. Overall, not a bad place with plenty of screenings and 3 floors! Not the cheapest place unless your a student coming on a early weekday afternoon. read more

One of the beat around. Cineworld is pretty much the only multiscreen cinema in the city centre. I know that the Savoy is around the corner but unless you see a movie in screen 1 it's not worth The money as all their other screen look like something straight from the 70s. Cineworld on the other hand has 17 screens full of blockbusters, small independent movies and a surprisingly large amount of foreign films, which I love. They also show classics a couple of times throughout the month. The food and drink can be quiet expensive but show me a cinema where the popcorn and coke is cheap. A large popcorn and large drink comes in just under €10. They do have a Ben & Jerrys stand if you fancy some nice ice cream. The bar is nice too, the food in here though is crazy expensive and the atmosphere can be a bit flat unless there is a massive new release than everyone crams in for a pint. I'd recommend the Woolshed next door for a pre-movie drink an a bite to eat instead. The best thing and what really sold me on the cinema is their unlimited card. It costs €19.99 a month. With it you can see as many movies as you like in that month. I think the limit is 4 movies a day, everyday. Of course it's cheaper if you buy annually but Id rather monthly. When you think it's €10.50 to see a movie it's a fantastic bargain. Go twice in a month and every film after that is free. It saves me a fortune especially in the summer with the blockbusters as I'd see some movies twice, once with my girlfriend and once with my friends. Overall, this is your modern day cinema. It has everything you need to enjoy your movie but is slap bang in the middle of the city. I'd highly recommend the unlimited card if you are someone who would go about once a week. Defiantly the best around. read more

Oh the mobs. The terrible, horrible mobs! Stand in the queue to get in the door. Stand in the queue for tickets. Stand in the queue to use the bathroom. Stand in the queue to get on the escalator. Stand in the queue to get in the theatre. Stand in the queue when the movie is over to get back out. And the bar? Who in their right mind would want to hang out at the cinema longer than the time necessary to view a movie? Abhorrent, loathsome crowds of people. Agoraphobes...you've been adequately warned. read more

This is definitely my "go to" cinema. I like it because it shows a nice array of blockbusters mixed with independent, foreign and art house films. They do a pretty good student rate and with 17 screens its the biggest cinema in town. Some years ago I had the cinema pass for a year and it was fantastic, I really must get it again - great value for movie lovers read more

If you book online you get 10% off your ticket which is nice! Lovely spacious cinema. Treats are definitely not the cheapest but to be expected at a cinema. The bar area is a nice touch to settle the nerves of first dates etc. read more

Solid option for a centrally located cinema. Large screens, good sound, and plenty of popcorn. Added pluses include a fully loaded bar (pints for under 5 euro) and a $19.99 unlimited card that yes, lets you watch unlimited movies in a month. If you go more than 2x in a month, it pays for itself. read more

Ah the cinema, I think I've been to all the cinemas in Dublin at this stage. Cineworld used to be Virgin Cinema and the it was UGC but it has always remained one of my favourite. The cinema is located on Parnell street so it is not the most desirable place in the city to be walking around at night, even during the day for that matter. The best part about the theatre is the bar/lounge area although with 17 screens, you don't have to wait around for very long. Its great being able to park the car and walk right to the counter and buy your ticket (or pre book and take the pain out of queuing up!) I recently went to see 'Avatar' and my behind really appreciated the comfy seats! (long movie) read more

I feel physically ill being in this place. The toilets are manky and I feel like I am queuing to board a Ryanair flight no matter whether I am queuing to buy a ticket, enter a screen or purchase popcorn. The only redeeming qualities about this place is the amount of screens. It's impressive. They are also the only cinema with an IMAX screen in Ireland [this is the only reason I ever come here]. Their Unlimited card is totally worth it due to the amount of screens and choice. It's also RIDICULOUSLY expensive. €20 to see a movie in IMAX. Extortionate really. It may be IMAX but it's not the standard of IMAX screen that I have encountered in other countries. But hey, I like IMAX, some movies are made for IMAX. SO I have to put up with it if I want to see something in IMAX. I just have such an aversion to this place that I couldn't possibly imagine coming here on a regular basis. If you are immune to mankiness however and want to see more than 2 movies a month then get an Unlimited card and use it to your hearts content. Can I say IMAX again? I feel like I have not mentioned IMAX enough in this review. IMAX. read more

Meh. They're good cinemas. Big screens, comfortable seats. But expensive, so expensive! 13 euro for a ticket and that again for food / drink. Also no seating allocations - super annoying when it's a full screening and you've paid so much to be there. I mean, it's grand. It does what it says on the tin. But I'd take the Lighthouse any day! read more

Better than I expected. The seats were large and comfy. The place has a multitude of options for food and drink. My only beef is that the ladies room on the second floor was small - only 2 stalls. Like the rest of the place, the bathroom was clean so that was a plus. It is pretty expensive, around 12 euros for ticket, but that seems pretty standard these days. They also have an option where you can watch unlimited movies for 22 euros/month. It sounds like you need to pay for 2 months upfront and can then cancel anytime thereafter. That's not too bad if you like going to the movies. read more

Wow this place is expensive! I saw Clash of the Titans here, but was disappointed they didn't provide an option for non-3D. So I had to pay the 3D upcharge plus buy 3D glasses, and ended up with a movie ticket that cost twice what it does in the US. The theater itself was okay, but 3 of the 4 machines for electronic ticket pickup were broken, leading to a very long line for the 1 working machine. And once I got there, it wouldn't recognize my credit card. So I ended up having to go up to the counter anyway. So thanks for that, dumbasses. read more

My favourite place to go when hungover; Cineworld offers sugar lased drinks, early opening times, dark rooms and light entertainment. The first show time starts around 10 am, which is much earlier than other cinemas in the city center. Inside you'll find a bar/cafe, pix&mix, hot dogs, Ben and Gerry's ice cream, and a massive shop full of all kinds of ubiquitous cinema treats. All the screens use digital projectors so the image will be nice and shiny while your sitting in the comfy seats. The staff are cool and the cinema has a great app for viewing show times as well as booking tickets. They also have easy to use ticket vending machines in the lobby. If driving, the cinema has a large car park with the entrance located around the back. There are also bike racks at the front but I wouldn't risk it unless you have some really good locks; maybe it's better to use Dublin city bikes which has a depot nearby. Why only three stars? Simple, it's more expensive than the Savoy which is only a short walk away. Money talks folks :) read more

I like the big big screen feeling of this cinema, and the fact there are a LOT of screens. Movies are one of my favority pastimes, and I especially like Matinees, which this theatre has in abundance. I also like well stocked refreshment counters, alcohol availability, and cushy seats. Check! So the only reason this place lost a star was for the AMAZING heat levels in the upper most theatre. I've seen several films in that up...up...up room, and nearly died each time from heat stroke. Bottom line: as long as it's not Screen 17, yer in luck!! read more

Very disappointed to find gum and popcorn on my seat. The location is modern and very large, but I think this is a classic case of profits before people. It seems that the staff doesn't have enough time to thoroughly clean before the next show starts: in addition to the seat not being clean, the smell of people was overwhelming - again not enough time to air the theater before the next show For the money that you pay the experience is not great, definitely no return on investment. read more

This is my regular haunt. I love going to the cinema. Cineworld has roughly 20 screens so there is always plently of movies on side by side at many time slots throughout the day. They also have an IMAX screen on the top floor. It's huuuuge takes a few minutes to get into the movie as the screen is so big it almost made me feel slightly ill at first.....I'd recommend to go see an action packed movie in here....the sound is great! I pay 21.90euro direct debit every month for a cineworld unlimed card which allows me to see any movies I want as many times as I want, although there is additional charges for 3D and IMAX screenings. It also allows me to get 10% discounts on drinks in the bar or popcorn and drinks etc. After one year of being an unlimited customer they upgrade you from a red card to a black card which means you get 25% discounts on food and drink and also don't have to pay any additional fees for 3D screenings. If you go to the cinema a lot, I would highly recommend getting one :) read more

Cinemas are like the pirates of Main Street. They're (literally) the only show in town, so their prices always seem a little high. That said, Cineworld is an expensive cinema.Considering we've gotten accustomed to high prices in the cinema, I still felt like I'd been mugged after leaving. Oh, and their popcorn isn't great either! But I can't give out too much, since the sheer size of the place means they show a more varied selection than most multiplexes. There's always an art-house or indie release snuck into their schedule. read more

I go there when I miss the whole cinema experience: people swarming, smell of popcorn, bright lights, excalators etc... That said, the place is quite dirty. I also find it outrageously expensive. There was one bad experience recently, as I went in to see Melancholia. I sat down during the ads and the screen was flickering violently to the point where I could not watch. I seemed to be the only one who could see it. I decided to wait for the film but the same thing happened. It was baffling!! Needless to say after I complained I saw one of the ticket girls come in and look at the screen as if she had any competence whatsoever in projection and she concluede there was nothing wrong with the film. Now, I have seen thousands and thousands of films, many in this very place. I worked in the industry along with my family, I've gone to festivals in 4 different countries and I have never seen a screen flicker like that. I could only imagine that there was a problem with the actual light speed, because they were hardly missing actual images. It was too painful for me to sit through and I had to leave, along with two of my friends (one could not perceive it, the other very slightly). The plus side is they gave us our money back without arguing. But it would have been so easy to just pop up in the projection room: they would have seen the problem right away (when I looked back at the source, the missing light was even more obvious, there was a black gap of half a second at least!) Oh, and I think Dublin city centre needs another 10 cinemas. read more

The best thing about this cinema is that it is right beside The Woolshed bar so a trip out to the cinema always ends up in a wild night out, well for me anyways! This cinema is great on weekends for a date night as it is full of couples but during the week it is more full of annoying little city kids hanging about and making the place look messy! read more

In terms of the selection of films on show, Cineworld is easily the best cinema in Dublin. Plus, their seating is laid out in a type of amphitheatre fashion, so even if you are a little bit off to the side, you'll still have a good view of the screen. Plus there's a bar in which to have a tipple while you're waiting for a film to start, and the Woolshed just next door for your post-flick pints. And there's a yearly membership, and tickets are only €5 for any film that starts before noon (though maybe that's just for students. Then again, who else is in town with nothing to do at that time of the day?) Ah yes, DIT's lack of communication re lectures being cancelled resulted in a significant revenue stream for a lot of the Hollywood studios. read more

Ehh, over ten euro per ticket to see Dark Shadows?? Seriously? It's not even 3D... Sigh. VERY expensive, both the tickets and the concession stands, but they're central, they're huuge and they do offer a good variety of yummies - tea/coffee, nachos, hotdogs, ice-cream - in addition to the usual popcorn/soft drink stuff. I prefer the Lighthouse or the IFI, to be honest, but it is convenient. read more

Cineworld is pretty good, as far as cinemas go, and the seats are actually comfortable - bonus!!! And they're large enough that you're not sitting in the lap of your neighbour. There is a great deal on at Cineworld at the moment - 19.99 for unlimited movies for a month! This is one of those direct debit deals, so I imagine you have to commit for a few months, but if you're a movie buff this is definitely worth your while - you'll get your money's worth if you go two or three times a month, but just think, you could go EVERY day! Ah the possibilities! read more

What I like most it is the possibility of paying a monthly fee to watch as many movies you want (some restrictions apply). You also get some discounts when purchasing some of their food when you are paid member. The only downside here is their location. Dublin 1 is not the safest part of Dublin, especially near Parnell Street. read more

The third star is because they have a nice bar on the upper level of this theater that overlooks Parnell street, but other than that this theatre is just average and the prices get more ridiculous every time I go. Now this could just be Cineworld or because this Cineworld is in Dublin. The concession prices are ridiculous and find it a better deal to bring your own. There are screens aplenty at this theatre so you get a bigger selection of showtimes and even a few indy/art movies thrown in. But that would be the only reason to go here. read more

Good Cinema, actually one of my favourite if it comes to the felicities. There is an ice cream shop that I really like (comparing to other movies where you have either ready ice cream or no ice cream at all) plus alcohol bar where you can get drinks before movie. Good selection of movies. Big screens, you can select your sits before hand, the only one minus is the temperature. I went to the cinema yesterday and it was bit chill. I had to stay in my jacket for the first 20min. read more

I was surprised by how large this theatre was! I'd always seen it from the outside, where it doesn't look like much apart from the large movie posters. I liked the fact that they were showing movies quite late in comparison to other theatres like Dundrum and Rathmines. We went to see The Witch at 22:20. The price is what brought my rating down- it's ridiculous! We paid almost 24 euro just for the tickets, and then treated ourselves to ice cream at the Baskin Robbins (I couldn't believe it was there!! Had never seen one outside the US) upstairs. We also passed a nice-looking bar and cafe on the second floor. Waited a little for the fancy little screen outside the theatre to confirm that we could go in. Since it was so late, there weren't many people in the showing which was nice. We had been given perfect seats in the middle at the back, putting the screen right in the centre. The seats were comfortable. Nothing else to report! I enjoyed the experience but I think I'll probably save the money go to Dundrum or even the smaller theatre by the O2 Arena for a fiver. read more
