This was the best Saturday night alone in a strange town I've had in a long time. The movie wasn't one I had been interested in (Stuber), but the theatre looked so fun I thought, "Why not?"
It certainly beat staying in my hotel room. I got there a little early and ordered a glass of wine at the bar, which also has beer, whiskey, and the like. They have popcorn available in both sweet and salty (or mixed, if you're like me). There were some locals there having a drink as well, and it was great!
The theatre is all painted in murals, with fun old-fashioned seats and a very good visual and sound systems -- super up-to-date -- and I was able to take my wine and popcorn with me into the theatre to enjoy during the movie. They even have a couch, if you prefer to lounge.
Everything was clean and well-taken-care-of, and the prices were amazing. Entry was only £5 (£6 for the balcony). I come from the US, where popcorn is $8, so being able to get a nice glass of wine and a good-sized box of popcorn for £7 was great. All in all, this is a fun night out in an unexpected and quirky place, and I'd even suggest it for families, as it's inexpensive enough to take everyone, and super fun. read more
