1 / 3The Piccadilly
π North Adelaide, SA
Historic art deco boutique cinema in North Adelaide with intimate theatres, in-seat food and drink service during screenings, and children's birthday party packages. Cinema 1 preserves the original art deco interior.
Yeh nah what a classy place. I honestly donβt have the vocabulary to give the quality review that this joint deserves. Itβs just really really good. I like everything about it - the windows, the carpet, the bench tops, the urinal, everything. This is the type of place Frank Sinatra and Marlyn Monroe would probably go on a first date. Iβm just too uncultured to think of better compliments. You really have to see it for yourself. Take your nearest and dearest to see F1 with Brad Pitt and youβll know what Iβm talking about. Then youβll understand how hard it is to do this place justice, unless youβre a professional critic.
π Family Action Verdict
Best for families wanting a genuinely special cinema outing rather than a standard multiplex visit. The art deco setting and in-seat service create a memorable experience for children of all ages. Staff are particularly praised for birthday party coordination β the private screening option is well-suited to younger children's groups.

βI remember the old days when this cinema used to be one big cinema, but nowadays it's gone the way of small boutique cinemas and they've succeeded very well. They've kept with the theme of Art Deco and providing more luxury services like a waitress, bringing food and drink through a movie. We were in cinema 3, And I must admit, I haven't seen the other cinemas yet but this was great quality and probably sits about 30 people. Well recommended. A+++β

βWe held our child's party at the cinema and the whole experience was absolutely fantastic. The staff were extremely helpful, welcoming and attentive from start to finish. Everything ran so smoothly β no pressure, no stress, and such an easy process throughout. We genuinely felt taken care of incredibly well, and the team went above and beyond to make the day so special. Thank you for making the entire experience so enjoyable and memorable!β
