★★★★★Featured review by Hailey Yasse

This was, without a doubt, the best cinematic experience I’ve ever had! I didn’t know about this place a week ago but as soon I as did, I booked tickets to see one of my all times favourites: The Holiday. I was already pleasantly surprised to see they were showing such an iconic holiday classic during Christmas season. But it was even more magical once I got there! The place itself is the perfect mix between modern and vintage. The bar is great, the overall design and decorations are reminiscent of 1930s cinemas which was amazing to see. And once inside, it was the cherry on top, the most comfortable chairs ever, a table to put food and drinks on (large choice at the bar by the way), and even a footstool. I thoroughly enjoyed rediscovering the movie in these fantastic conditions. The staffs were all lovely too, will definitely come back next time I’m in the city!!!!

🏆 Family Action Verdict

Best for families with older children or teenagers who will appreciate the premium seat comfort and cinema-quality audio rather than a standard multiplex. The armchair layout suits relaxed, special-occasion viewing. Families expecting a classic movie-snack setup should know in advance that traditional popcorn is not on the menu.

ℹ️ What to Know Before You Go

💡Book in advance — boutique screen sizes mean seats sell out faster than standard multiplexes
Visit the upstairs bar before the screening for drinks and light snacks
🎟️Traditional fresh popcorn is not available — check the snack menu online beforehand
🚗Each seat has its own side table and footrest for comfort

Absolutely loved!! What a beautiful, beautiful treat of a cinema! Upstairs is a very cool bar with lots of seating and a few activities and downstairs is the cinema. The cinema rooms themselves are boutique sized with arm chairs + foot rest. Each seat has a small side table. They offer a good enough range of snacks (only downside is no classic movie popcorn) overall a lovely experience and definitely a wonderful place for a drinks+movie date! Would return!

It was really nice watching a movie here! The lady at the reception was very kind and walked us to our seats very sweet. Thank you Electric, would definitely recommend it. This is REAL CINEMA.

Lovely experience, chairs are very comfortable, there is quite some distance between the chairs so you will lack intimacy if with your loved one
