Everyman Manchester St. John's

“My favourite cinema lounge ever in the world. Feeling the luxury and excitement, a cosy environment. The food and drinks are very good. Feeling like in a special place. Would highly recommend.”

“We loved our first visit. Reinventing the cinema experience , will certainly be back”

“This place is a gem in the heart of the city. I visited in September to present a talk to the wonderful Women in Criminal Law, so I didn’t attend to dine or watch a film. However, it was an evening to remember, and a fantastic venue. I arrived early and a good job too. It’s a little tricky to find the way in. Always look up is my tip. The entrance is through a splendid gallery, and I only realised this once spying the Everyman sign high up above the gallery door. I still entered rather hesitantly, with a feeling that perhaps I shouldn’t be there, but once through the galley, found the bar, and realised I absolutely should! The bar itself is a sight to behold. Sumptuous soft furnishings and mood lighting against a brutalist concrete backdrop. There are various seating nooks around the entrances to the various screens. The bar seems well stocked and I received a friendly welcome. I was on coffee, given I was both speaking and later driving, and this was good quality. I didn’t sample but had a look through the menu, which was tempting indeed. Our evening was held in screen 3 (I think), in which seats were in pairs with little tables for drinks. I include my presenter’s view from the front in my photos. It was a fabulous cozy cinema and I am hoping to make a return trip for an evening out here to see a film sometime. My husband would love this.”

“One of the most special cinemas I’ve ever been to. From the moment I arrived, I was treated really well and everyone was very kind. The décor is very elegant — it feels like you’re in a movie because of how beautiful it is. I went to see The Lord of the Rings: Part One and I loved it. I highly recommend the Oreo milkshake, it’s delicious, and the staff’s service is excellent. The next time I’m back in Manchester, I’ll definitely come again.”
