Irish Film Institute in Dublin

Pros: Friendly staff Great indoor space Amazing movies Cheap drinks Great location Cons: Horrible screening rooms Horrible corridors to reach the screening rooms. Smelling toilets

Lovely staff last week. Two very friendly blond people male and female on reception .

A temple to cinephilia where the projection booths maintain both 35mm and digital systems. The cafe's strategic placement allows film discussions to continue seamlessly from screening to analysis. Repertory programming reveals hidden connections across decades.

Very good experience. Was for a Peruvian movie screening. Had a nice time watching an awarding movie

A brilliant space for cinema lovers with a good mix between new movies (Irish and World cinema) and old classics (watched 2 Bette Davis movies this week). Their Caffe in the lobby and main restaurant provide very nice food and drinks at reasonable prices. The IFI is a surely one of my favorite spots in Dublin

Cool old school and perfect location, but pricey as hell if you're not a member or without discounts

Real cinema. Different screens with different character. Ireland's only 70mm projection. Incredible!

This place is a real gem for film fans in Dublin. Great mix of indie and classic films, comfy screening rooms, and a lovely cafe bar to chill in before or after. The staff are super friendly and really know their stuff. Definitely worth a visit 👌

What a place. Dinner and a film. You immediately feel that this place is run for the love of cinema as an art, and is on the polar opposite end of the spectrum from the out of town multiplex that is designed to pump every penny it can out of whatever crap is being pushed out by Disney or some other big studio. It's dark, the picture is perfect, the sound is perfect. There's no one live tweeting the film. There's no kids running around the cinema. After the film it doesn't look like someone set off a nacho and popcorn gender reveal bomb. Dinner for two and your tickets for 50 quid and then two cans and a popcorn for a tenner. It's the perfect date.
