The Labia Theatre

This place really feels like you are stepping back in time to when theatres were a special outing! We really enjoyed having the opportunity to come watch a movie here. It is so beautiful and vibey, the seats are also so comfortable and the popcorn was poppin lol Thank you for existing!

This place is special and set a part. The love and tender care that’s gone in here is exceptional. It feels like your soul feels alive and whole when you step into this space. Thank you. Your team and everyone has done so well. I’d love to do a worship event here wow imagine that space being filled with worship and praise to God.

Such a great atmosphere and a different experience for the whole family to enjoy. It takes you back in time. The café is very overpriced, otherwise I would’ve rated 5 *

My partner and I visited the Labia Theatre for a date night, The building is simply stunning and tucked away in a wonderful area The staff were all excellent and helpful Would highly recommend We had a wonderful time

It's great. Only downside is once the movie starts the food stalls close. Love the vine though as it feels like everyone's watching it together versus in a large corporate theater. Great sound and everything. But I can't give it 5 starts as I can only get popcorn once and that's before it starts.

A timeless Cape Town gem – a must-visit for film lovers The Labia Theatre remains one of Cape Town’s most treasured cultural landmarks.

What makes The Labia truly special is its eclectic, old-school atmosphere.
