"Shortwave Cinema, Bermondsey Street. This cosy, lusciously red velvet 52 seat cinema, cafe and bar screens the best of art house cinema, recent releases and previews for emerging filmmakers. Situated in Bermondsey Square it offers an intimate and relaxed environment where, of an evening, you could just as easily happen upon an independent film festival, a directors debut, a late night viewing or dancing alongside local DJs."
what an absolutely gorgeous venue!!!!
cinema is beautifully intimate, it meant watching the film felt particularly emotional and I felt really invested.
the bar alongside the cinema looks incredible too. i didn’t get anything but when i go back i definitely will.
toilets are fab and next to the screen which is always a plus.
chairs are comfy too :)
the staff were really kind to me when i visited esp as a solo girlie on an adventure. i felt really safe there :)

What a lovely place! Saw a fantastic film here - "Baby", going on general release in December. The bar was lovely too.

Staff are great very professional. I love the changes to the toilets and the new photos and furnishings. Love coming for a 2 for 1 cocktail. I wish it was cheaper, but dont we all in this climate

went to find a study cafe after 9pm, came across this place. So cozy, and coffee was delicious. New work spot.

Really enjoy visiting the Arzner in its capacity as a cafe, bar and cinema. The space is quiet and relaxed in the day, and buzzing and vibrant by night, with a varied menu of unique cocktails. The cinema screen is intimate, with a well-curated selection of films.

What a lovely intimate cinema, one screen with about 40 seats, with a lovely bar area outside managed by great staff.
Visited for the New Renaissance Film Festival and it was a lovely experience as a whole.
Bar prices are also very good for a London venue.

Just went here for the first time and I'm absolutely in love with this place. Immaculate vibes, delicious cocktails, great music, wonderful staff, comfy seats in the bar and cinema, cheap popcorn...
They're showing all sorts of queer movies. Its literally the perfect place if you just want to hang out at the bar or watch a film or both!
