Cool 70s theatre..bring back the nostalgic feel..except no kacang puteh uncle nor ticket stub with chalk writing. Seats were low, aircon blows strong. So bring along thicker jacket.

In a city dominated by multiplexes showing blockbusters this tiny art house cinema is a welcome change. Even if you don't care for the hipster vibe their program is usually worth a visit.

Cool hipster cinema screening some alternative movies. Price is usually $13 per ticket. Also, don't miss the rooftop bar called The great escape.

Great alternative space, Kubrick's movies and of course... Hipsters 🙌 Singapore needs more places like this! But the aircon there is crazy so don't forget to bring a coat and a hat! Or a heater... 😋

Great films! If you're having a hard time finding the place (like we did), the way there is by the lift in front of the entrance and not through the entrance itself.

For people who like art-house this is the best cinema in the city. There are full range of movies from on Indian, Chinese, Japanese, French & so on. Ticket costs $13

A lot of cool, old films at pay-what-you-want prices. There are newer movies off the beaten track at fixed prices. One of the screens has been bags and you can buy craft beer to take in.

Nice alternative place to watch non-mainstream films. Bring a date. Bring a scarf or wear a cardigan as it can get cold. Order nachos and popcorn you can bring inside the movie house.

Old school cinema experience. Friendly and laid back atmosphere. The seats aren't too comfortable but that's part of the experience. Bring a cardigan to keep you warm.

Cool independent cinema. Great selection of movies. You can bring in food and alcohol: brace yourselve if next to fried chicken lovers 😅

Non-commercial movies and Indie films. Avoid the Blue Room if possible as the other rooms used to be actual cinema theaters with proper sound systems. Go for mookata (Thai BBQ) after the movie.

Great place to catch an indie or foreign film. Leg room is a bit tight for tall people so be prepared.

Probably the one and only cinema in Singapore.

Isle of Dogs sold out but free for me because some one else didn’t show up and they are the most awesome cinema ever! 🏝🐕

Pretty nice cinema with a real good selection of movies.
Laarni de LusongOctober 13, 2015
A good idea. Love that they kept the design and architectural details of the place
Eliza PetchenioukJune 13, 2016
Great movies! And you can eat in the cinema!

Bring a hoodie or a blanket to keep yourself warm. AC in the screening room is blasting like crazy.
Anne PlazaNovember 10, 2015
Very charming place: an old theater that's still functional and used in various functions.
Jackie C.May 17, 2016
I love the selection of films here. Get bulk purchase of 10 tickets for a cheaper price.

Do you have long legs? Hope you’re not watching a 3 hour European film; seats are low and leg space is tight.

Cool hipster cinema, opt for the proper seats over the bean bags

If you watch a movie at night you might get some extra soundtrack from the beat of a nearby disco

The bar has the best chicken burrito in town!

Don't expect many blockbusters here - screens only indie, local or private films.
