Customer Reviews
What a lekker experience.
Like the old days. A nice small movie house (47 seats)
The seats are car seats, albeit not brand new, but with loads of character and made us feel like the old Drive-in days.
Big tubs of popcorn and you can even order a meal to take into the movies with you.
Latest Movies were only R100.(12 Jan 2025)
Staff are really on the ball, friendly, informative.
Will definitely be going back there.

We were invited to a private screening of the SISONKE project at the cinema. The cinema is so retro and has the most beautiful memorabilia throughout. It is liking stepping back in time to an era when going to view a movie was a special treat. We were offered light snacks, drinks and popcorn. It was a lovely evening and I am going to return to visit the surrounding stores during the day. This place is a frozen moment in time and I love it!!!

Amazing food in a vibey setting. Service was excellent too. The gluten-free base was tasty and the salads are fresh! Nifty curio shop. Chess boards on the tables if you fancy a game over lunch.

Quaint and quirky - loved it!
I was about to book tickets for the Bob Dylan movie at one of the tried and tested places when I saw that it was showing at the Bioscope. Having wanted to try out the Bioscope for a while we decided to go there. So glad we did! It is the kind of quaint and quirky places that we like. But so much more! From the warm welcome, the relaxed atmosphere, the interesting decor, the comfy seats with so much legroom and the friendly banter among the moviegoers (my Rodriguez t-shirt attracted some attention) to the delicious food and seriously good coffee it was a most enjoyable evening! And great value for money too!
And the movie was excellent!
