My favourite independent cinema in Melbourne. I’ve seen dozens of films here over the years. Fantastic selection of indie and foreign films, as well as blockbusters, film festival screenings, and events with filmmakers.
The bar is great for a pre-movie drink, and always decorated in a fun way for one of the current films — I loved the recent The French Dispatch wall.
Well-priced yummy popcorn and other movie snacks.
Cinema Nova also has amazing staff who always go out of their way to sort out any issues!
Great cinema and bar. Art-house and European movies. Have been here many times....The bar is excellent! Spanish style with beautiful atmosphere, drinks. Had a delicious mulled wine in the bar last time I visited. Such ashame the food menu is limited nowadays.
Lovely setting, divine little Bar and very comfortable cinema seats. Staff could not have been more accommodating when I accidentally booked front row seats instead of the back row as I thought I'd done.
My only issue is that the escalator mostly goes up and whilst the staff will stop it and reverse the direction, I can just manage to get down the stairs (albeit very slowly) once the patrons eager to get out and into Brunetti's next door have gone ahead. A second escalator or a lift would be the icing on the cake.
