screen 1 is exceptional with huge screen and comfortable seats. The bar area offers choice of drinks and food that make taking in a film more enjoyable.

K13-14, Screen 1 probably best in house - at top and in middle, behind a walkway and in front of the projector; there's no-one directly in front or behind you; you can put your feet up on the bars.

The Guinness cake is so thick that make sure you share it with someone. Become a picture house member for discounts.

Great coffee and hotdogs (and reasonably priced). Queueing for tickets is a bit of a pain so always order online and scan in the QR code - almost too easy

Totally impressed by the Hackney Picture house, I thought it was an odeon from the outside, great bar and restaurant inside, great to chill out before or after a film. Iron man 3 was awesome!

if you fancy a movie night - best hipster movie place, a little bit off the beaten route though, so be ready to hop on Boris bike to get there

My favourite cinema! Love this place, very comfortable / reclining seats and lovely atmosphere. You can take your beer into the screens with you.

I love this cinema. There are nice comfy reclining seats and great bars, yes plural! What more could one want? Oooh get a baileys Choclatini at the bar.

THP's multiplex features luxuriantly reclining, armchair-esque seats, plus a cafe, art gallery, and 3 bars. This promises to go way better than your High School dates. Read more

The food is just great, especially the pizzas. I've been to Hackney Attic three times and loved it and the cinema is really nice too.
Bronwyn BarnettJanuary 13, 2013
Book your tickets online to skip the queues. Also remember to check out the reclining seats :)

Good value membership - free tickets and discounts. Nice bar for drinks/snacks. Excellent all round cinema experience.

Great cinema but if you like coffee with your picture bring your own with you - the average wait time at the bar is 15 mins!
Sarah GautierNovember 2, 2014
Comfy chairs, homemade cakes, great film selection and lovely staff
Alice FourJuly 30, 2012
As well as a cinema, a music venue and a bar, it's also a great place to come and relax with a hot chocolate (until the bar gets busy that is!)

Absolutely beautiful, modern and well-priced cinema for Hackney. A few mins from London Fields. Members get 10% off food & drink, too.
Blaise Grimes-ViortAugust 16, 2014
Lovely cinema with a good selection of food and drinks, a fairly priced membership, and comfy seats.

Quite simply the best cinema I've ever visited. Great bar, loads of leg room, comfy seats AND it doesn't cost a small fortune.

Best burgers in the area. Instead of normal burger baps, they use brioche bread in the shape of burger baps - hopefully they still do that.
S WalrondAugust 7, 2014
Has a nice bar, good screens and a fantastic selection of films.
Louise OrganJanuary 30, 2017
Very comfy seats but small screens so can sell out fast if you're not early.
Gordon DentJanuary 28, 2015
Bar before film with great beer. Comfy reclining seats in the cinema and half price Mondays. Best cinema ever!
Christopher WeirOctober 5, 2015
Great cinema with cheap tickets and comfortable seats. The bar is nice for a pre show wine.

Delicious and wide range of food specials in cafe: great bolognese & pork belly on sourdough when I visited.
yeah! HackneyDecember 19, 2011
A new multi-screen cinema in Hackney, lovely comfy seats. Try the London Fields Brewery beer made just for the cinema.
Revathi RaghavanMarch 29, 2015
Wish all cinemas were like this one. Love the picturehouse - good food, comfy seats and all your favourite movies.
Dave MarshallOctober 23, 2015
Comfortable seats that recline free wifi and monthly movie quiz is epic
Jacob WAugust 30, 2014
Comedy nights in the Attic are brilliant. Great space, intimate and cheap drinks.

If you're going to screen 1 make sure you queue at the front of the bar or the barman gets a bit confused and grumpy.

Great cinema, screen one is so big at first it's a bit much but you get used to it
Arnau BronsomsSeptember 21, 2015
Apart from a movie, you can have something to eat at the cafe. Pretty good breakfast
Evonne GuanJuly 12, 2015

Arrive one hour before the film and eat a burger. They're surprisingly excellent.
Tove SvenssonJune 21, 2015
Comfy seats and you can buy drinks at the bar to bring into the screening
Chris WattFebruary 8, 2014
Booked online? Use the ticket machine - just scan the card you used to buy #winning

Um so I ordered a sticky toffee pudding and I got an apple pie. Apparently, the sign was mixed up. Point and ask "what is it?" Before you order. To be sure, to be sure.

Cheap tickets on Mondays unless it's a bank holiday in which case standard prices apply

Climate control in screen 1 not working. Early 2023 winter I was freezing. November 2023 it's very warm. They do reimburse if you're uncomfortable and leave, though I think they should fix it maybe ?

If you're on a budget, take a pint of lime and soda into the screen for 50p.
Anu ChandraJanuary 15, 2013
Good Indy selections, nice cafe, friendly service

They failed from coffee!!! Latte was disaster:( They must get some help from "artisserie" which is just in the corner. "chai tea latte" aka "salep" in Turkish was just ok.
