Better sound than in any other cinema , hands down. Balanced bass that never pops. Overall sound is loud , in a good way, and it doesn't make your ears bleed like in most cinemas !

Thibault Lemaitre

I LOVE this place! My local indie movie theater , always doing cool screening mixing recent releases with older classic films ! There's always something going on, and it's a great place to hang out too!

Everything a cinema should be. Great screens, nice coffee shop , good bar with craft beers and always an interesting choice of films , the best independent and "art"movies can be see here.

Cool cinema , there is always something interesting going on (at the moment Kubrick retrospective). Only good movies make it here. Comfy seats and café :)

Beautifully designed and well maintained art house cinema . A diamond in the rough that is Smithfield. Popcorn is a tad over priced for what you get, but I don't like popcorn anyway! ????

A small, boutique feeling cinema with an abundance of charm and intimacy, an "art cinema ". Tip: Pop into Oscars for a pre-cinema drink.

Cyclists - the underground car park in the apartment block to the right as you walk in has bicycle racks.

You can play table tennis while waiting for your movie to start.

Nice cinema , full of potential in a great city spot. It is a shame that is not well kept, communal areas were dirty .

Really nice place with a good selection of beers. The food is excellent, but be careful when you order the chicken wings - they are quite spicy. The staff are great :) - Camila Cortez

Live music is incredible. It's like jam sessions of Irish music, very unique. Very good options of pints too, 5€ each. Worth the walk. And if you smoke, look for the beergarten after the toilets. - Mayara Barros
