    Super comfortable cinema! High risk of falling asleep. They serve some drinks and food at the bar. Depending on when yoh are going you will get a 50% discount at the Electric Diner which is next door. Make sure to book in advance for popular screenings.

    My company hired the venue for a training event - which was an amazing experience on so many levels. I’ve always wanted to visit the Electric Cinema, as I love going to the cinema and I’d heard really good things about this place. So when my company said we were spending the day having training there I was thrilled! The venue and decor is exquisite. The cinema itself is beautiful: very elegant, but also extremely comfortable. I also liked the little storage boxes in front of your seat for bags, and even shoes if you want to get really comfy! Plenty of bathrooms, which were clean and well maintained. All the staff I met were lovely and very friendly. I will definitely return one day to watch a film in this beautiful cinema.

    Absolutely amazing, unique and cozy cinema! Loved it! 🩷 The only minus unfortunately, the gentleman at the bar had a huge attitude and looked like he’s had to work there as punishment. (Monday 6pm 15th July) Otherwise everything was great I wish there was a bigger selection of films 😊

    Super fun experience! The seats are extremely comfortable (so that’s means high risk for falling asleep!) and it’s definitely different then a usual cinema. The screen extends and you get quite a good view of it in the whole room. The only downside for me was the snacks and drinks prices since they were quite high.
