Olympic Studios
📍 London, Greater London
Upscale independent cinema in Barnes with reclining seats, personal tables, a full bistro and bar, and a Grab and Go snack counter. Free parking options available nearby.
Absolutely loved this Cinema, the whole design on the space, made it so welcoming an elevated the whole experience beyond “just a movie” to a magical evening at the cinema. Also the customer service was incredible, I had accidentally booked tickets for the day before but the staff were so friendly and allowed us to sit in some vacant seats. I then went spilled my popcorn everywhere and in asking for an extra extra box to clean it up they also gave me some more popcorn as well!!! Will definitely be coming back! Thanks so much ❤️
🏆 Family Action Verdict
Families with older children and teens seeking a proper evening-out cinema experience rather than a standard multiplex visit will find Olympic Studios rewarding. The bistro-before-film format works well for families who want to make a meal of the outing. The Barnes location is residential and relaxed.

“A cheeky tuesday evening spent in the bistro before catching a film. The bistro is super warm and welcoming with a cocktail menu I could happily work my way through with ease. The cinema hits you with the "WOW" factor on entry. A warm vibe with insanely welcoming seats. I really enjoyed the added movie intro that shares a touch of the Olympic's roots as a studio. It really added to the experience. It is a fantastic venue with alot on offer and I highly reccommend a mid week night out in The Olympic.”

“Really enjoyed our visit to Olympic Bistro & Bar in Barnes! The drinks were fantastic — great selection of beverages, all beautifully made and full of flavour. The staff were welcoming and attentive, and the atmosphere was relaxed but lively. A lovely spot for a night out with friends or a casual date. Definitely coming back!”

“tl;dr: zero defects. 6 of us wandered in randomly on a Friday evening looking to eat and were lucky enough to be seated. The wait staff were amazing. The food was delicious. A flawless experience.”
