Reviews for Broadway Cinema

Best cinema in the world!!

Broadway Cinema is a great place showing main stream and non-main stream films...arthouse and independent films are a big thing.

The cafe can be quite pricey but the atmosphere is good.

I recommend The Broadway Cinema in Nottingham City Centre, especially if you want to avoid the crowds of teenagers and families that frequent other cinemas in Nottingham (especially The Cornerhouse’s Cineworld and The Showcase in Dunkirk). I love this cinema simply because it usually has all those World Cinema and independent/international film releases that just aren’t shown anywhere else in Nottingham...although sometimes films are only screened for a mere week, meaning that you are restricted by a small time window and limited film showings. If you are a true film buff with interest in non-Hollywood Blockbusters...go to The Broadway!
To me, The Broadway has a cosy, familiar feel and I like its small size – yes, its screens cannot match those of Cineworld etc, but the chairs in Screen 2(?) which has seating specifically for couples (ooh la lal) are extremely spacious and comfortable.
Also, The Broadway has a lovely bar/restaurant attached – which is very handy if you want to just hang around for longer. There is a pleasant table & seating area at the entrance for all of you arthouse smoker types or for those who want an alfresco pint.

Having visited the Broadway to view a series of short films a friend had worked on, I left incredibly impressed by the facilities. The seats were comfortable, the screening rooms were clean, and the small size helps give an wonderful feeling of intimacy which you don't get with larger cinema chains.
The food was quite expensive, but the café/bar was good enough for us to return occasionally to the cinema, just for something to eat. I can't really comment on the ticket prices (mine was free), but a quick look at the box office reveals ticket prices slightly above those of a chain, which is to be expected at an independent cinema such as the Broadway.

Broadway is a cinema in Hockley, just out of the centre of Nottingham. In comparison to the main, chain cinemas which frequent the city centre, Broadway shows a selection of arthouse and independent films which often make a refreshing change from the mainstream national releases. They show a somewhat selective group of mainstream releases, which is handy if you're looking to see a particularly popular film.

The cinema itself is gorgeous and has incredibly comfortable seats! Food is fairly expensive if I remember correctly, but with student discount on the tickets these are incredibly reasonable!

Brilliant if you fancy seeing something different and independent!
