BIO OKO

Lovely cinema with a small bar & friendly people. Feels like a good old movie watching before hyper-capitalism took over the world ⚔️

BIO OKO A cinema in Prague with a great atmosphere. I'm not a big fan of cinemas, but I come here specifically because they show Ukrainian films, promoting and supporting Ukrainian culture. There's a bar where people can come and have a good time even if they don't plan on watching a movie.

Great small cinema with a bar. Multicultural place with exhibitions in a beautiful space. Price is quite usual for good quality

Amazing cinema! I went there twice when I stayed in Prague for only 3 nights! Chill atmosphere! You can drink and have some food before the movie in the bar, and the chairs are perfect in the theatre! I have never experienced this kind of special movie theatre ever, and still equipped with nice equipment! Good price for everything!

Cool little theatre and a great little neighborhood. The seating is unique and the cinema itself is beautiful. They feature classics along with participating in film festivals. Definitely worth the trip if you still believe in the magic of movies.

Nice old cinema with a plethora of programs. The seats are a bit uncomfortable and squeaky, but otherwise an awesome place.

Great classic cinema. Most movies has Czech and English subtitles.

Very hipster’ish place, but their seats are too uncomfortable 😣 watching Killers of the Flower Moon there (3,5 hrs) was not the best decision 😅

A "clubgoer's cinema" that caters to the poseur, desperately-trying-to-be-hip crowd. The staff is fine, but the cinema itself is dilapidated and tries to sell its bad condition as artsy and authentic, while in fact it's just shamelessly neglected, with its falling plaster, faint smell of vomit and rickety seats threatening to fall apart under you. Prepare for terrible short movies before the main movie, drunk idiots in the audience shouting during the projection and ever-pervasive stink of ganja. Yeah, multiplexes might be soulless, but at least you can actually watch a movie without having to deal with disruptions. Avoid at all costs.

What's not to love about this art house cinema? They do so many fun things - from one-off classic film screenings, to first-run blockbusters, to eclectic festivals, plus lots of in-house fun, like Baby Bio (morning screenings with reduced sound volume and lighting, for parents who have been cooped up in the house forever and desperately need a break but can't get a sitter), Bio Senior (mid-morning cheap screenings for oldsters on a budget), simulcasts of performances of NYC's Metropolitan Opera, the Royal Shakespeare Company, London'd National Theatre live, various national Ballet companies, and so much more. Plus really good beer and a fun chill out area.

Interesting, sort of alternative movie theatre, however, showing in addition to different "festival" movies, mass market productions which also simultaneously go on in the chain theatres like Cinema City or Cinestar. The seats are, of course, less convenient comparing the above mentioned modern places, but the atmosphere makes up for it: Bio Oko is a classical old movie theatre which brings you back into the middle of the 20th century when going to watch a movie was a bit more of a special occasion than now and the audience was less demanding to general comfort of a place and details of its interior. Bio Oko cafe has a decent choice of drinks including usual tea, coffee, wine and beer, and a few small snacks in case you get too hungry. But for a proper meal I would definitely recommend to go somewhere else. Majority of visitors belongs to a so-called "bohemian" artistic group which adds to a special environment of this place.
