Light House Cinema

My favourite place in Dublin. The cinema is very clean, well decorated and spacious. Visiting other cinemas just reminds me how good Light House Cinema is, while it's usually cheaper than the others. They often re-show good old movies as well. Good events, good staffs etc.. The drinks and food in their cafe are tastier than other cafes while it's very reasonably priced. This place is one of the few places that are worth for the money I pay in Dublin. It's literally a light house in my life in Dublin.

We saw Civil War here on a trip from the US and loved this place so much. Coming from New York, we were impressed by the space the of theater and the general manners of everyone in the crowd. Plus, the overall design, decor, and layout of the theater were just generally really engaging. If we lived in Dublin, we'd be here all the time.

It's my favourite cinema by far. Has that home cinema feel. The layout and lighting are exceptional, and they always show frequent times, and the movies have a great range.

An excellent cinema that manages to offer both popcorn and arthouse films to suit most tastes. Located within Smithfield, the screens are strangely subterranean as you have to descend to attend. There is a bar area where you either wait for the film to begin or discuss it afterwards. Seats are plush and angled back so comfort is easily achieved. My personal favourite is the numbering system for the seats. It's a brightly lit number set on the stairs where other cinemas in Dublin decide they want to give you a challenge.

The Lighthouse Cinema in Dublin is one of those places that somehow feels like it’s been there forever, yet still manages to surprise. It’s got a bit of character, unlike those sterile multiplexes. The films are a bit offbeat, the atmosphere is relaxed, and you’re not bombarded by endless trailers for rubbish. It’s just a proper cinema for people who appreciate not being treated like cattle. Lovely.

My friends and I all agree that Lighthouse should be the blueprint that all cinemas should try to follow. The layout and experience are always fantastic. We especially love that for some more significant movies, there will be set pieces placed around the cinema, often as fun photo ops, and that there are themed drinks etc to add even more to the atmosphere. They make it fun to go to the cinema again.

The parent and baby screenings are amazing. I thought I would not be able to go to the cine anymore, but we’ve seen more movies in a month with the baby than we would have before. The only problem is the over 16 movies are banned so we are missing out on a few :( even so it’s a great experience!

Went for the first time on Monday, so far it’s my favorite cinema in Dublin ! Staff are super nice, everything is neat and clean from the entrance to the corridor, rooms, toilets…, nice places to eat, I really loved it there. Bonus: really appreciated the view while waiting for my friend to get here 😌
