One of my favourite places in Dublin to have a leisurely glass, some food but above all to watch the kind of film you won't find in the standard cinema. Class.

As a film lover, I can’t recommend the Irish Film Institute enough. It’s one of my favourite places in Dublin.
The atmosphere is beautiful, and they always have a carefully curated selection of films you won’t usually find in mainstream cinemas. The building also has a lovely café and a small shop with DVDs, books, and film-related gifts.
I even stop by almost every month to buy Jackie Chan DVDs for my brother as a gift, which has become a little tradition of mine.
If you enjoy going to the cinema regularly, their membership is definitely worth considering. It’s a fantastic place for anyone who truly loves film.

As a long-term member, I thoroughly enjoy my Friday lunch treat. I was shocked and somewhat disappointed to see the new menu excludes the cheese board. Who knows, maybe it will be reinstated.
Nonetheless, the burrito and Chorizo salad was very enjoyable and I'm looking forward to trying some of the new menu.
I was there to see The Last Viking which was excellent.

Great cinema in the centre of Temple Bar. 3 screens. Restaurant, Café, Bar, Film Archive, outside terrace space with awning and seating. A super space for all things movie related and a film buffs must visit. Arthouse movies. Independent films. Movie premieres. Seasonal film festival weeks, like Horror festival, Queer festival, feminist festival, etc showing a great selection of movies from each genre, at different times of the year. They sometimes show the Movies of specific directors, such as John Carpenter, Woody Allen etc. Movies shown in Digital and still in 70mm (recently, Oppenheimer and Disclosure Day) If you are a serious movie/film buff, you will love this cinema and space, that retains an independent cinema ethos. It's all about the movies and the craft, not a corporate chain vibe.

I was here a few months ago, it is a simple place with great staff.The place is small, but the location is central. I appreciate wine with popcorn. One thing was interesting because I watched Brazilian movie with Portuguese language and english legends great experience.
