Do not go there on Saturdays. I went there yesterday to watch Hamilton and the whole time I could hear the music from upstairs. The staff at the cinema were really understanding but sadly could not do much about it. They let me know that they already tried to have the music lowered, but the venue above clearly didn't care. I even went to speak to someone during the intermission, but nothing changed. I was really looking forward to seeing one of my favourite musicals on the big screen, but it was extremely overshadowed by the thumping upstairs. read more

I have to confess that I haven't been in the Grosvenor cinema since the digitally-enhanced edition of Star Wars IV came out. It was a Saturday afternoon and the place didn't look like it had been cleaned since the Friday late-night showing, there was a huge stain in the centre of the screen and I swear that the sound (contrary to Lucasfilm requirements) was not even in stereo, never mind THX surround. I was so disgusted that I wrote to the then-owners of the cinema AND Lucasfilm to complain. Never heard back from either of them. Yesterday I was attending a private screening of some dance films as part of the Cottier Chamber Project/West End Festival, and I'm glad to say it was a whole new experience. The cinema bore no resemblance to the one I remembered - what were these swanky new leather seats? Even the entrance was changed, they had room for a bar next to it, and you could even take your drinks into the cinema! How very civilised indeed. Because of the reconstruction, the screens are smaller than I remembered, but the layout is much improved so you no longer feel that you're looking sideways at the screen. It is definitely several orders of magnitude better than the old fleapit that it used to be. There were some presentation issues with the video formats not being properly set in advance so there were a couple of false starts with the films. It was a pretty informal occasion so it wasn't enough to spoil the afternoon; but for that reason I'm only giving it 3 stars this time around. I may revise that after a future visit. read more

Very much enjoyed my time at this cinema earlier this evening. I wish many more establishments like this existed today. Nestled on what seems to be a very cool street in Glasgow, this unassuming place is licensed (bonus). Screen 1 which I ensconced myself in, has large leather seats arranged in sets of two, divided either side with somewhere to rest your beverage. It was a really comfortable venue to watch a movie and tonight I was there for the live simulcast of the Stone Roses movie premiere - red carpet n' all. This was made all the better by the fact that I was (all too briefly) in the movie itself. If you fancy seeing a film somewhere a little different, try here. It could do with a slight spruce up, hence the loss of one star - but it's still miles better than a soulless multiplex. read more

I don't think I've ever met a resident of the West End who hasn't fallen in love with the Grosvenor Cinema in one way or another. Cheaper than the big name cinemas and with far far comfier seats, it's difficult to see what's not to like about this place. Sure, it only has two screens, but they rotate their films every couple of weeks, so it's worth keeping an eye on their website, or their noticeboard for those of you that aren't constantly glued to your laptops. The staff are friendly and the place has a great atmosphere. Add to this their great promotions and you've got yourself a wonderful hidden (or not so hidden) gem. Watch out for Tuesday nights when they do a student ticket for £2 as it gets very busy. Good news though is that they don't usually check student ID, so as long as you look like you might be a student you usually get in for £2. Don't tell them I told you though.... read more

Personally I absolutely love this 'wee' cinema. With only two screens, you may think it's a bit shabby, however, you are greatly mistaken! The Grosvenor has been about for years, and situated in the very quaint Ashton Lane, it's perfect! I have been to see several films here - not only because you can take alcohol into the shows (note: it must be bought from The Lane bar next door), but because of how cosy and intimate the experience is - the chairs are extremely comfortable - plenty of leg room for the taller person like myself - and if you're lucky, and you book far enough in advance (the morning before you wish to go), you can purchase a ticket for one of the sofa seats - that's right, a cinema with SOFAS! It's amazing! I felt right at home watching the latest Harry Potter flick... the only thing I was missing were my slippers! So? A cheap ticket, a glass of wine, some salted popcorn (freshly made!) and a sofa. I couldn't have asked for a better seat. Next time, I might take my slippers, just to complete the "homely" feel... read more

Ah lads I wish we had something like this in Dublin - stunning! You ascend tight steps that wrap around a building that you would find in many of the London side streets. My sister warned me, "Prepare to gasp." I wish I had the words to describe it better but the previous reviews do a great job. It is like an aircraft hanger populated with 1920's wood style and feel. There are two huge movie lights positioned on either side of the space. On the ground floor there is several couches and tables and stools positioned around and on the upper deck there are more traditional dining areas. Staff, excellent and friendly. I was really excited to try an ale but they don't have one on tap so I had instead I had Fraoch in the bottle. Delicious, you could really taste the lavender in it. The best part there is a tiny cinema off the main space! They also had local traders as in arts and craft folks set up stalls at the entrance which is something that maybe the likes of the Market Bar in Dublin should consider to support the local community more. read more

Quite surprised at the write up for this place on here! I was looking forward to the 'big seats and beer' but was bitterly disappointed on arriving at my seat. It was quite frankly disgusting, there has obviously been quite a few beers spilt in between the seats on the wee divider bit and on the floor. It stinks of stale beer and was filthy! If they were to clean up better it would be a great wee place to go see a movie. Jenny L said she can slouch in the seats? Gadz, I certainly wouldn't! Very reasonable price when we went to see The Prodigy film there but maybe they should up it a bit and provide what you would expect from a big seat cinema. read more

Over the years I have been to the Grosvenor countless times and in many ways it is a fine cinema. Films well projected, comfortable seating, alcoholic drinks available and roomy seating. The film choices are pretty good too, not just blockbusters. The Grosvenor also participates in the occasional cinema link ups, showing post screening interviews or discussions. However, in recent years I've been disturbed by the general cleanliness and hygiene. Quite frankly Screen 2 smells of a potent blend of urine, fish and beer. Screen 1 has its malodorous moments too. It is quite disgusting. This isn't always the case, but is occurring on a more frequent basis and I can only assume they are cutting costs on cleaning or plumbing maintenance. Cinemas are having to raise their standards of facilities and comfort in order to attract the Lovefilm/BitTorrent/home projection audience, telling in the revamp of the previously tired Odeon Springquay. The Grosvenor is appreciably more expensive, perhaps due to its University location, while falling well short of the modern cinema experience. read more

To me, the Grosvenor Cinema is a little hidden gem in the city. The cinema is small, just two screens BUT that's what makes the cinema unique. It's full of history and I love that before a movie starts, it shows you how the cinema looked in the 1920's! The seats are VERY comfy, oversized and plenty of leg room. Next to the chairs are little wooden tables for your snacks which is rather handy if you end up with juice, popcorn and chocolate like I normally do!. They also serve alcohol. Yes. ALCOHOL IN A CINEMA! Alas, I was drinking diet coke, but it's refreshing to know that it is there if I want it. One grumble is the popcorn wasn't fresh and tasted rather stale so I'd probably bring my own next time! read more

Great wee cinema! I love the Grosvenor. It's only tiny - just 2 screens, but they've been very wise and, rather than trying to compete with the multiplexes, they offer a very different cinema going experience. The seats are wide, comfortable and well spaced out, with wide arm rests and little tables in between where you can place your drinks. Plus, you can buy a bottle of wine and take than in with you, which makes for a very civilized and grown up cinema trip. It's expensive, about £9 for a ticket, but you can book specific seats in advance, and I'm happy to pay the extra rather than going to a hideous nacho spewing multiplex. And maybe I'm being a wee bit snobby, but it seems to be a different audience you get at the Grosvenor. Maybe more mature? More appreciative perhaps? You quite often get applause at the end of the movie - which is just nice! read more

Another hidden gem! Lurking in the bottom of ashton lane, The Grosvenor combines a great combination of leg room, comfort and alcohol. I went to a very late showing of a horror show with some friends last year and there was only around 10 people in the cinema, so nice a quiet which i always prefer. For the horror film the atmosphere of this little screen was pretty creepy and we thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. Having room to stretch out is an absolute god send as i hate the cramped feeling at Cineworld complexes. Tickets are a little pricey but its worth the extra pound or two for a better experience and in a nicer area! Leaving this place at 1am can be pretty interesting, especially seeing the lovely drunks wandering up and down the lane. I recommending bringing your own stuff though because food, candy and wine is pretty expensive. All movie lovers will have a blast at the intimate and comfy viewing. The sofas at the back are great but sometimes the couples go there and forget that they have come to see a film, so keep your eyes to the front at all times hehe! read more

The Grosvenor cinema is definitely one of the hidden gems of Glasgow. It is situated in a hidden street just off byres road. I remember the first time I went into Aston lane I thought I had gone to europe! I love the pebbled street and the bars along it where there are outdoor seatings. But anyway this review is about the cinema! We will get to that another time. One of the main reasons why I love this cinema is the fact that there is a separate bar inside where you can relax while you wait for your movie to start - and if your not finished with your drink, you get to bring it with you! Obviously it also has its bad points - I ended up watching inception tipsy once, which was not ideal as I came out not understanding what on earth the film was about (Leo was hot as ever though, I remembered that well). The seats are also very comfortable with plenty of leg room, and there are also 2 person couches situated at the back of the cinema for an extra cost (for the lovebirds). I absolutely adore this cinema. It makes for a very cosy date night! read more

I do like the Grosvenor, partly for the comfy seats, the fact you can get a nice glass (or bottle) of wine to take into the cinema, that you can spill out of the cinema and go straight to the bar next door or even better, up to the roof terrace at the Chip...but my favorite thing about this place is the convenience! Trekking all the way from Hillhead to Cineworld can be a nightmare in winter weather (prime cinema time), especially if it's a late showing and the subway is shut by the time the film finishes. So 4 stars from me! The sound quality is usually fine here, and as I said the seats are really soft and comfy! I like that they don't make it freezing cold in there either, unlike some cinemas! They show all the latest films but sometimes have more interesting, arty ones on as well which is fantastic. Their snack selection is pretty decent with all the usual suspects, and not as pricey as cineworld. They also do student discounts! My one complaint is that sometimes you can hear the noise from the bar next door during quiet bits of the film on busy nights, which takes away from it a bit but can't be helped. All in all a great wee cinema, and one I will return to time and time again! read more

Every time we go here, I think to myself "why the hell would we ever go anywhere else?" I mean really, when you can have a bottle of wine, a comfy seat (or a couch), reasonably priced popcorn (well not extortionate anyway) and be on ashton lane... why would you want to go to to cineworld? Yeah, I know that they don't have the same selection of movies, what with only having 2 screens, but still. it's just so. much. better. Would have given 5 stars but £15 for half a sofa - so £30 a couple - seems just too much. £9 standard ticket on a monday evening is ouch. read more

An impromptu night out brought us to the Grosvenor! What a little gem in the heart of Ashton Lane! I love the throw back feel this small cinema has with it's sweetie section, ice cream freezer, oversized comfy chairs to relax in while watching a film and chalk board written menus. The great thing about this place is the fact that you can grab a bite to eat upstairs at their café, then settle in to the movie with a wide selection of beers and wines among other things if you're so inclined. The one thing about the whole experience that was a little off putting was the fact that we had to queue for movie tickets we already purchased online. Tickets are purchased by seat and not in a first come first serve kind of way. It would have been nice to be able to go right to our seats instead of wait in line just to be given printed tickets. All in all, this cinema is a must for a movie night out without having to go in to the city! read more

I've been to the Grosvenor Cinema quite a few times and I pretty much love it, however, I think it smells a wee bit! Maybe it's just my nose being overly sensitive but I haven't let it put me off :) It's small, intimate and has large bouncy sofas for you to, emmmm, snuggle up on and also has handy side shelves to rest your bottle of Bucky or wine on :) Oh and there is not a plastic cup in sight...all glass. I love how they trust us! Slap bang in the middle of Ashton Lanes hustle and bustle, The Grosvenor lets you escape for a couple of hours, whether you're sobbing at a chick flick, dressed up for the Rocky Horror Show (yes, it was the strangest/ best night ever) or catching 40 winks on the big sofas. It's really worth a visit and if you live nearby, what a lucky thang you are! read more

Quirky and different. Places like this make Glasgow and a hidden gem of a city. It only has two screens but the ambience more than makes up for it. The cinema hall is cool and it makes me want to spend my disposable income here. Its also a good place for a date if you don't like talking to your date but advanced booking is neccesary to avoid disappointment. Also if the films crap theres a bar next door which you can frequent and return to see Will Smith in a whole new light. I hate Will Smith, what the heck was the nonsence attempt of a scifi film he done with his son. Blatently just trying to get his son famous. The mans a nightmare. Good cinema for non Will Smith related films read more

The jewel in the G1 crown, the Grosvenor Cinema has been turned into a destination for many. Since its renovation and new sleeker look, the crowds haven't stopped coming to the Grosvenor. It shows the best in 'mainstream cult' movies (if there is such a thing) so keeps the baying '2 fast 2 furious' crowds in the city. Keep your eyes open for any special screenings they have on. I went to see Trainspotting a few months ago as I was too young when it was in the cinema the first time! Movies were made to be seen in the cinema and huge kudos to cinemas that show old movies with it being a big risk as they don't necessarily have a captive audience. Little tip, they show Its A Wonderful Life at Christmas time and you get a free mince pie! So sit back and enjoy the movie with a glass of wine or a beer in some proper comfy seats or couches! read more

The great thing about the Grosvenor Cinema is that it's in the west end, so if you're wanting to go to the cinema (like my friend and me when he needed some cheering up) but don't want to walk aaaaaall the way into the city centre, this is your place to go. Now, obviously being an independent cinema, you'll be paying slightly more for your ticket, but it's a cinema ticket, so you'll be splurging either way. However, to sweeten things slight, there's a Yelp check-in deal! The interior of the actual cinemas is quite nice, the seats are brown leather and each seat has space for snacks and drinks, on one of the sides. The seats are always two next to each other, with a snack/drinks space on either side, so it's great for couples. It's nice that you're allowed to take in the drinks that you've bought either at the cinema kiosk, or at one of the many bars attached to the cinema. A slight downside is that after two hours of movie watching, the seats do become slightly uncomfortable, and when you move you'll make that horrible noise of clothing on leather. It's definitely a place worthy of the brilliant Ashton Lane! read more

What a great theatre! So comfy :) I was with a 14 year old watching minions (my choice though and I'm not ashamed), so we some how only paid £4 per person- because it was a kids club movie. My only slight thing was that it was so loud. I think I'm turning into a cranky squidward as I get older, but it is worth a mention. Maybe it's just for the kids movies so if they talk or cry it's less disturbing for other viewers? I don't know, but I couldn't have watched it if it was any louder. Anyways. Still had an amazing time, and it's so nice leaving the cinema onto ashton lane which always feels a bit like another city. Totally will be back as soon as I find time! read more

The cinema experience in the Grosvenor can be a hit or miss. I truly love the concept of watching a movie on couches and the general ambiance of the place. I also love the fact that they serve up adult beverages that you can bring into the theatre with you. Most major American cinemas don't do that... but there are a select few theatres in the US that I've had the pleasure of visiting that also feature the comfy couch/bar cinema experience. Those were some good times... except for that time I decided it would be a good idea to try to keep up with a girl friend, who was leaps ahead of my alcohol tolerance, with several bottles of wine during Pirates of the Caribbean 2. Then I blacked out. Dark times in my life, indeed. We won't talk about that anymore... but I am definitely NOT proud of blacking out during a Disney movie *sigh* The Grosvenor is usually good, but the last few experiences have been fairly bad because the movies were played in mono. This is such a shame, because it's a waste of a decent sound system. Hopefully future experiences will be better, and in surround sound. Amen. read more

As a new mummy i was really keen to get along to the Grosvenor for "Watch with Baby". I was really looking forward to it (admittedly this was partly because the film was Brave and I'm a Disney Pixar fan!) and packed up four week old baby Julia and my mum to go on our outing. The price was really good, £6 for ticket and a tea or coffee, and the cinema is well set up for the mums and babies. There was loads of space in the aisles and the seats were comfy. They have a baby changing table in the disabled loo. There is a room where you can leave your prams and since it was quite busy there was a bit of chaos trying to get prams in and out. Having now learned this i will take my car seat in future as this can be carried into the cinema. So, downsides. There was a technical problem with the start of the film - we has sound but no picture. I totally understand that these things happen and they did fix it after about 20mins and the film started but i was a bit disappointed that no staff were to be found and the mums and babies were left in the dark - quite literally - waiting for information. What i was really disappointed with however was the volume of the film. It was just far too loud for my wee babies ears and her poor granny had her fingers in her ears at a few points too. Unfortunately this ruined it for me and put me off going back. A shame really. The Odeon cinema advertise their "Newbie" baby cinema as having slightly quieter volume and slightly raised lights. Think we will try there next time. read more

This cinema has been my favourite in Glasgow for ages. The seats are wide, comfy leather armchair types with wooden armrest tables at either side to set down your drink, popcorn etc. and there is plenty of legroom - I've almost given up on The Odeon for their shockingly cramped seats! Love that you can take a glass of wine in with you (or a bottle...) but alcohol in the cinema when you can't pause the film is likely to cause a mad dash to the loo in an attempt not to miss some key bit of the film! Each of the two screens also has 3 two seater sofas at the back of the cinema that can be booked for an extra couple of quid. The online booking system is great and you can pick your seats, just wish you weren't slapped with a booking fee of £1.50. But all cinemas seem to do this. We recently went on a Tuesday morning for our first Baby Cinema viewing - if you have a child under one and haven't yet been I highly recommend it! Tickets are £6 (babies go free!) and this includes a tea or coffee, which you get in a take away cup to prevent spillages with baby. read more

Nice reserved seats! You can bring in your alcohol drinks to the theater. Very different in the US. Great location! Close to the Ubiquitous Chip! read more

The Grosvenor Cinema - this is the street where you find the cinema. - Cinema Near Me - Glasgow, GLG

The cream of the G1 crop, the Grosvenor Cinema remains one of the most popular going out options in the West End, primarily as it allows customers to enjoy a film with an alcoholic beverage. The screens themselves are nothing to write home about, indeed there are a few seats which offer woeful views, but the atmosphere is undeniably pleasant. You can also expect schedules to changes on a weekly basis, so it's always worth checking regularly. The one downside is a byproduct of the positives, comfort (the seats are like armchairs and there are couches at the back) + alcohol = sleepers, so don't be surprised if you miss the one big line of the film on account of an earth shattering snore. read more

I am 99.9% sure that this long surviving little cinema is now owned by G1. That would imply that I wouldn't be so fond of it but Mr King can get it right on occasion, and with this place he certainly did. It used to be an old cinema, which I do still mourn. But it has been turned in recent years into a very trendy, comfy place to get a movie and have a drink. It has two screens which show the biggest of the latest movies, and with their comfy standard seats and couches (yes, you heard me right), it's a super swanky, romantic place for a first date. They host some world cinema events, Rocky Horror nights, Halloween fright fests, the occasional cult classic, late night movies and (a favourite with the parents), a kid's club morning! Parents are happy campers since it's family friendly, and their child also acts as their meal ticket to a free cup of coffee from the bar! They have a small snack bar and although not cheap, it's really no different from the price you'll pay in multiplex cinemas these days. It's probably a fair bit cheaper, in fact. With two screens you've not always got the pick of the bunch, but if there's a movie on you desperately want to see, this intimate venue is perfect. You can take your drinks from the bar into the theatre and with its small space, it's a highly personal, cosy and special way to experience a film indeed. read more

Great theater- To start, easy online advance bookings. Then when you arrive, great selection of theater snacks- candy, popcorn, sweets, etc and they have a full liquor license- a good selection of beers and bottles of wine for less than £15. When you get into the theater, they have big comfy chairs with tables for all your drinks and snacks. With your ticket stub, you can also get discounts upstairs in their restaurant. Overall a great place to watch a movie and have a date night. read more

This is a public service (ish) announcement to all new and also not so new cinema going mothers. The Grosvenor cinema in Glasgow's Ashton Lane has a "mother and baby" offer on Tuesday and Thursdays!!!!! For the poultry (i aint clucking you around hear) price of a fiver, all you mum type creatures can settle down to the latest releases with a baby (your own would be best) and a coffee, safe in the knowledge that any baby noises will not be met with cries of disgust from your fellow patrons (they actually turn the volume up for each screening!). With baby changing facilities available, plenty of space for prams and such, and a welcoming atmosphere, the Grosvenor has spotted a market and provided perfectly for it. And with rumours of a Saturday morning Mum, Dad and Baby screening in the offing, they appear to be perfectly judging there West End market. Oh yeah, they also show films for you other folks without spawn. Beer + film + couch = happy punter. Nice one guys. read more

What a lovely little cinema, whilst it's not cheap it is not significantly more expensive than some of the chains. Plus the chairs are comfier. Visited here for a Sunday evening chick flick and loved the whole place. Having just eaten I didn't fancy any snacks or a drink but I love the drink whilst you watch idea. some of the deals for mid week dinner and a film looked great as well. The cinema was clean! Such a pet peeve going to a showing for it to be covered in the previous showings popcorn. The seats were huge and really comfy. The cinema is quite small which was great as I had forgotten my glasses but was still close to the screen! The sofas at the back seem like a really niche idea which I like. People did get up and down a bit to go get drinks but again enough room between seats that it wasn't a massive hassle. Already excited for my next visit. read more

The Grosvenor is fantastic! Prior to this cinema I have only been accustomed to the standard North American, cramped seating, sticky floors, popcorn everywhere experience. The Grosvenor was kept very clean, with the best feature being the soft, plush, very spacious seating. The only negative is that the theater flooring only has a very subtle downward pitch, so if you have someone very tall sitting in front of you it's going to be a challenge to see the screen. 4 stars read more

For many years, The Grosvenor was the poor relation of the GFT: it kept the students coming, did the late night weekend shows, had The Rocky Horror Picture Show (with "shadow cast") every so often, but was generally not worth leaving the city centre for. Then they did it up- it has the classic beige of the hip bars, but is now something special, with tables by the cinema seats, a bar that you can visit even if you don't want a movie, and a much more welcoming atmosphere. Besides, they kept the programming of lates, and even hooked up with the cabaret festival for some cool showings. I am so glad that this cinema has kept going, even as The Odeon in the town centre has closed. The location, near student central, can't have hurt, but they really thought about the best way to update. read more

This is a great cinema, perfectly located in Glasgow's trendy West End. I've always found the staff to be friendly, and the prices to be reasonable. The cinema shows a great mix of current blockbusters, and older 'classic movies'. They run great promotions such as movie marathons, mother & baby screenings etc. Something to look out for are their regular screenings of The Rocky Horror Picture Show, complete with shadow cast! read more

I really like this cinema, its small, friendly and shows films other than the usual Hollywood stuff. If I have to be critical, and I do, it's that this place feels so hideously trendy and simultaneously nauseatingly alternative that it almost puts me off. I know I'm in a small minority on this one, but it does influence my decisions to see movies here. Otherwise fantastic venue. read more

Tucked away on Ashton Lane you'll find the West End's independent cinema. It has 2 screens and shows major releases. I usually catch most of the films that the Grosvenor shows at Cineworld as I have an Unlimited card but they also have special screenings and it was for a festive showing of It's a Wonderful Life just before Christmas I was here last. Roomy leather seats make it a little more luxurious and comfortable than your average cinema, and you can buy bottles of wine, beer and cider in the foyer to take in and enjoy with your film. One thing I didn't enjoy was the funky smell... hopefully it's not normally like that though! I wouldn't say the experience is hugely different to the bigger cinemas but I would come back for a special showing that I really wanted to see. read more

This is the best cinema in town, hands down. Big seats, lots of leg room and licensed. Not the GFT plastic cup licensed, oh no! Actual glasses and bottles! Went on weds for 241 and a bottle of rose and cost £23 - pretty reasonable I'd say. You can slouch in the seats, curl up and watch a good film - no 3-d no imax just a good ol big screen. This place is a bit couple-centric with the seats in pairs and the cuddle-sofa's but dont let that put you off, there were a good few people on their own or with friends. Thie clientele were better behaved than those at the world of cine and GFT - however we did get an idiot sat next to my better half. Luckily he was not next to me or my rose would have had a side of ultra-violence. I know idiots with stupid hair commentating the film to his friend, who he must think is pretty thick, is the the cinemas fault but it does knock a star off. All in all a great way to spend an evening. read more

As far as cinema experiences go, for me the Grosvenor reigns supreme! Every time I go I fall in love with the place again. The combination of comfort and an air of luxury makes for a great night in front of the big screen. My latest trip was to see Maleficent, a reasonably priced comfy sofa and a bottle of wine made for a fantastic date night. If you haven't been you simply MUST go! Treat yourself and your significant other to a relaxing night in a home from home. read more

I like to spend a quiet afternoon in with a bottle of wine, comfied up on my sofa watching a good movie. I especially like doing this at the quaint little Grosvenor Cinema in Glasgow's West End. Situated in the heart of Ashton Lane, you would be forgiven for walking past this cinema thinking it is a shop or a bar, because it blends in with the rest of the places beside it. I discovered it about a year ago when I went to see In The Loop, and was amazed that I had never heard of or seen it before, it was brilliant! There are 2 screens, which means it is essentially like being at home with a right big telly. You can hire a sofa! How awesome is that? They also let you take your drinks, alcoholic or otherwise, into the movie with you, which is brilliant. The best thing is, the drinks are at normal bar prices, which means you won't be hit with ridiculous cinema prices like you are at Vue or Cineworld. Amazing! One of Glasgow's best hidden gems, and far superior to the big, commercialised cinemas in the city centre. read more

Cool cinema with leather chairs and a table at the side for your drinks or food. Select movies which is great and a little more expensive than a standard cinema ticket but worth it. They have a bar so you can take your drink in to the cinema with you. The same building as the cinema also has a a cpl of bars and one quite big and both are open late. Not had food here yet. read more

Terrible service, was told the seat we chose was in the center of the screen but it wasn't. Super small screen, uncomfortable seat, if you didn't get the middle seat , the screen will only give you headaches. It's even more expensive than normal cinemas! Student tickets at 12 each read more

Yet another of Glasgow's landmarks now owned by the all conquering G1 group, I'm sure you could say this cinema is very modern and comfortable but at what cost. Gone with the grime and dilapidated building, it definitely needed some work, went the character and history. read more
