    Independent, non-mainstream and cool movies that you will not see at regular cinemas. There is always something cool going on here. And after the movie, you can comment it with friends at their café

    Huge screen, great sound. Atmosphere is great, nothing too commercial. Films selection is always amazingly well mixed between commercial film and indie and world cinema.

    I don't like the stew which is too spicy. The best way to wait for a movie or just relax there is to get a glass of wine and share a plateof Irish cheese or a mix of ham, salami and cheese! Enjoy!

    Don't expect good or attentive customer service from the bar staff. Or even acknowledgement! Nice place though!
