Amazing movie theatre i'm definetly coming back to. Love the combination of Indie films, Block Busters, International Films etc. This is a theatre that any fan of movies can enjoy. Popcorn was really defined and delicous, staff were extremely friendly and clearly fans of films aswell. amazing experience all around. Best movie theatre i've been to in Melbourne.

πŸ† Family Action Verdict

Best for families with older children and teens who want a cinema experience beyond the standard multiplex. The artsy atmosphere, eclectic programming, and boutique scale make it a standout for film-enthusiast families.

β€œGreat independent cinema with 8 screens. Bar with food and drink options (incl cocktails). Excellent accessibility options with a lift to each floor (although I'm not 100% sure of accessibility options inside the cinemas themselves as I'm not a wheelchair user - best to check with staff). Free (but time limited) street parking on the main street and in the side street. Paid carpark at the back with entrance to the arcade.”

β€œI recently went to Lido Cinemas and had such a lovely, low key movie night, perfect if you're after something a bit more relaxed and special than a regular multiplex. The feel of Lido is cozy and slightly artsy the theatres are comfortable, with good sound and a steep seating gradient so even tall people in front of you don’t block the view. The variety of films was great, they mix recent releases with indie and classic picks, so there’s usually something for every mood. I appreciated the vibe of the place: it doesn’t feel over the top or commercial, more like a boutique cinema where you can take your time and just enjoy the film properly.”
