Reviews

A rather quaint, interesting place.
I went there on a Friday evening and they had some issues with their projector. The place was rather busy and everyone was getting anxious about seeing the film. In the end they cancelled the event since they were not able to fix the projector. They said they will reschedule the screening since it gathered quite a crowd however, they never did. 
When booking the event I paid £10 ticket + £1.5 booking fee. When I got my refund 1 week later I only got 10 pounds back. I don't see a reason to still be charged £1.5 for something I never benefited from. I know that is another website, however, they could improve their system to be fair to their customers.

Excellent staff, knowledge and friendly. Fabulous library of film and documentaries for members (very reasonable rates). Interesting screening programme. Also the cafe is a little oasis of calm if you are wanting a more chilled vibe.

Fantastic concept. Great and wide film selection, great location with dark walls and intimate lighting. Filmmakers -but not only- meeting place

Lovely little cafe with loads of cinema books (art and avant-garde), there is a small film screening as well along with classes (never watched a film there but seems the screening room). 
Coffee is good and staff is friendly. Limited seating area though.

Was here for a friends screening. On other days, it seems like you could come and chill with friends for a catch up or even by yourself to read one of the many interesting books that they have on their shelves. I would reconsider the pricing of food and drink, but given the location and other similar premises nearby, you could say it is reasonable. The brownie I bought went down a treat, however. Would visit again.
