I've been here a few times and each time, the staff have been really friendly. The screens themselves are a bit smaller so they're not overcrowded. They don't show many of the more mainstream films that I am generally interested in so I do tend to go to other cinemas more often but it's always a very enjoyable experience when I do get to visit!

My all-time favourite cinema in Dublin. It's super stylish and sleek, while also managing to feel…read morecosy and relaxed. They have a cafe at the entrance which is pretty nice - I've met friends there without even going into the cinema itself. They mostly show arty, less commercial films here, so you won't always find every new release. They do tend to show lots of older films, which is very cool. I recently went to a showing of Back to the Future, which was of course awesome on the big screen. They also hold lots of different film events (Kubrick Season, Tarantino Season, etc), premieres, Q&As with Directors after screenings and so on. The screens themselves are good, the seats are plush and roomy, one or two of the rooms have multicoloured seats which are very cool! Another cool little feature is that the Light House has its own bar, and you are permitted to bring your drinks with you into the movie.

The seats were actually pretty narrow in the theatre but I read that this place is pretty much antiquated. You can buy your snacks where you get your tickets and they have an assortment of things, including beer. They have WiFi here, but when I asked an employee passing by for the password he couldn't/wouldn't tell me. The conversation was lost in translation. Oh well. This spot is a-ok if you want to kill some time between shopping at Jervis but this definitely isn't a destination spot.

They have a nice and comfortable café with big wooden tables where you can get a good tea and some cake or a burger with salad and Guinness. In comparison to other cinemas with their sticky coca cola floors and the reek of popcorn the IFI is a paradise for the cinéaste. I am a fan of their movie program. I have seen all sorts of movies and film festivals there. I remember crude Korean fantasy movies that you wouldn't see anywhere else. Every now and then they will have a German week, a French festival, a Woody Allan retrospective or a "Horrorthon" with directors giving a nerdy speech. This is the stuff cinema lovers like me dream about. I find the toilets always a bit nightmarish. The cinema staff can be as grumpy and oblivious as in other cinemas. Once I stood in a long queue ready to pay and I could see that one of the ladies who were selling the tickets was quite busy with her Facebook. The seating is rather old and uncomfortable, especially in the smaller viewing room. But maybe all these things add to the rough and artsy concept in a way. You just have to suffer a bit when you want to appreciate art. That's always been the case in western society.

Like the idea of a bar a few steps away from the 'silver screen'? Want a huge comfy seat to go with that popcorn? Step right up - get your tickets folks! This place gets two very enthusiastic thumbs up! There are about 20+ huge and incredibly comfortable seats in this private cinema. There's also popcorn and pelligrino to go with your ticket (or a cocktail if you prefer for a few euro more). And, the films shown are those cool classics of yesterday (like Dracula and Jaws)! You're even welcome to send recommendations to them for future films via Facebook! The cinema is in a great location too - steps from downtown Grafton Street! And, the hotel that holds this private gem is actually a nice spot to enjoy a pre- or post-film cocktail. (There's a comfortable lounge or you can grab a stool at the smaller bar which I prefer...) It's a cozy experience indeed. Get your prepaid tickets by calling or sending an email - and hurry as some films sell out...! See you at the movies!

The popcorn was served in a little cute box and you could pick your own drink off the table. Staff were great and the hotel looks nice. If there was one thing for me to fault and I'm probably being picky but it's that the website doesn't seem up to date with the amount of tickets available. When I tried to buy mine it said there were 6 available but I was put on a waiting list. Other than that the experience overall was fantastic and I would definitely go back!

We went to the Batman movie on Friday and I have to say one thing about the Square Cinema............ HALLELUJA!!!!!! THE BUTTER POPCORN IS BACK!!!!!! YEAH!!!!!! This was for years the last bastion of butter popcorndom until they realised everyone was wiping their hands on the seats and the cinema slowly rotted away. The one thing I have to take one star away is because they must have bought the seats in the same place as Ryanair. They are flip down seats with a gap in the back which you could fit a small dog through. Skinny people beware you might never be found again! Anyway; Its nice and new, its clean, the staff have obviously been trained to be courteous to customers (unlike the dopes you get in another Southside Cinema) and it is back to being an alternative cinema best of luck to them.

IMI gave it a complete make over and updated the screens to digital. It reopened in the early part of 2012 The decor and the lightning in the corridor area and the screening rooms is very impressive and modern which creates a very pleasant and nice ambience . Perfect for watching a good movie! The nicest I have seen in Dublin. The seats are very spacious and comfy . You get 5 hours free parking if you ask / give your parking ticket to the person who checks the ticket as you go in . The price is very reasonable 7 euro before 7 monday to friday. For students , its is 7 euro anytime and 5 euro every tuesday ! Myself and my friends were impressed with this cinematic experience! :)

The Stella is a unique movie theater, with sumptuous seating offering, red leather couches, leather overstuffed chairs and hassocks, quaint side tables with tiny lamps and seat side service. You make reservations in advance, reserving specific chairs or couches, or, if you are so inclined, one of the large beds located at the very front of the theater. You can pre-order food which is brought to you or if not hot, already at your table when you arrive. The theater has a retro concession stand and you can have alcoholic drinks in the theater. The movie screen was huge and the sound was fabulous. Our seats were in the 5th row. Beforehand, you can book a table or bar seats for dinner or drinks in the upstairs cocktail bar which is also unique and fabulous. Very art deco with a cool vibe! They have a fancy drink menu, I snapped a few photos of sample drink offerings. My friend's cocktail arrived in a stemmed footed porcelain teacup! We did not finish a bottle of wine we had ordered for the table and we were informed we were free to take the bottle and glasses down to the theater to enjoy during the movie! Very nice! The service was very friendly, although they had some obviously new waitstaff who had trouble getting their act together and could not recall who ordered what and just simply placed entrees randomly in front of our table's diners, resulting in lots of dish passing and exchanging. The food was quite good. I ordered the Kale Salad (delicious) and the Creamed Spinach (yummy, but too liquidy) and Chicken Skewers. My husband ordered the Patatas Bravas and the Chicken Skewers, my friend ordered the giant Garlic Chili Prawns, Kale Salad and her husband ordered the Baba Ganoush. Good taste reports all around! The atmosphere is intimate and you are allocated a 1 hour and 45 minute schedule for your reserved dining space which was plenty of time. We did not feel rushed at all. I would highly recommend this unique and fun experience when in Dublin!
