Reviews
"A very beautiful cinema and I had a nice experience here watching The Menu. Tickets are £25 for a regular arm chair and while it’s comfy & spacious, I really think you’re paying a lot of money just for the experience. There’s a bar at the back and they can also serve food (like nachos & chips) to your chair. I think I’d only come back for special occasions and not regularly."
"It was nice experience! There is a bar behind the seats, where you can order a food or a drink. The drink will have immediately almost, and the food they will bring to your seats. Really good sound, screen not so big but quality of image pretty good. Really like my time which I spent there:) totally would recommend for a date night!"
"This cinema is really with special charm! Every corner is full of vintage vibe (even the restaurant beside it and the bathroom). It is really enjoyable experience to watch movies here. Highly recommended!"
"Had a fun time at the Electric! It was out first time at a high end cinema. You're greeted by friendly staff for checking in. After this, you make your way to the cinema hall and your seats. We had a bed - you can order your drinks at the bar by the back of the hall (coffee, tea, alcohol). They'll bring hit food to where you're sitting. Overall a great experience."
"I finally went to this cinema it was in my to-do list for a while. I've been before to these type of luxury cinemas in London, I'm a huge fan of the Everyman cinema. I went to the Electric on Saturday night, booking tickets last minute and surprisly I found the bed type of sitting situation. I went there 20 min before the start of the movie thinking that I could relax with a drink in a lounge area. Well.. there is nothing at the entrance (see the pictures). We had to wait 20 mins there, just later I found out that there is a dinner section which apparently you can go before, but nobody told us. So the room opens and we go to the bar before sitting (which is inside the room). I was a bit disappointed about the few choices, especially for vegan, and not even pop corn.. I'm sorry to say it but people serving were a bit rude, in particolar one which again didn't make me feel that luxury experience that you would expect. The bed was comfortable but if you get drinks and food it's kind of difficult because there isn't a table on the side. In conclusion if this was my first time in one of these kind of cinemas I would probably be surprised and satisfied but it's not. And compare to other brands like Everyman, which is even cheaper, you have a completely different experience. I think that Electric has the name and they know, so I felt like they don't need to put so much effort to make the customers happy. They always have tourists going there."
