On the Grid : The Labia Theatre

"Do the time warp and experience the relaxing and charismatic theatre on the corner of Orange Street. The best part about this iconic establishment is enjoying a movie like the Grand Budapest Hotel, with a paper bag of popcorn and glass of wine in hand. It’s perfect for date night or an outing with friends, everyone in Gardens loves The Labia and its formed part of our colourful community. A number of restaurants from Societi Bistro to Kauai have joined forces with the theatre by offering dinner specials to their customers!" - Yellow Door Collective

One of the coolest movie experiences I’ve had before. From the dining options to the nostalgic feeling of being here. Highly recommend watching a movie here and buying snacks. Love how they have different popcorn seasonings for their popcorn, and everything was priced great.

We had fun... The theatre got packed pretty quickly so it's safer to keep time. Loved the popcorn, sound quality etc... definitely worth it.

Really nice atmosphere. Decor is great. Snacks are easy to acquire. Feels like I went back in time to the 1980's.

Amazing place, they let me park right up in front where the owner of the place normally parks his car, love the vibe and how nice it actually is here 5 starts no doubt 👌🖤

First-time visit, and I loved the nostalgic charm of Cinema 2 — clean, cozy, and refreshingly old-school with just 50 seats. The venue has real character, and the seats were surprisingly comfy. However, the audio experience was a letdown. The sound was overly sharp, with almost no midrange or bass presence. Gun scenes in The Accountant 2 were painfully piercing rather than immersive. My ears were ringing long after the credits, and I noticed older patrons covering their ears during louder moments. It seems the sound system isn’t properly EQ’d or acoustically treated, which makes modern action films hard to enjoy. I’d definitely return for the atmosphere, but until the sound is rebalanced, I’d avoid anything too loud or intense.

A slice of nostalgic pie and a piece of theatre heaven! In the over-priced and overly commercialized movie theater time we live in, the Labia brings that right back down to earth! With all tickets at only R90pp! Popcorn + drinks are also both affordable and delicious. You are bound to have a full movie experience for so much less than any local movie theater! The rich history and vintage time capsule of this movie house makes it all the better, you feel transported back in time and completely in-love with all things Labia! A regular date outing for me and my fiancé. Once you go Labia, you never go back!

A Cape Town classic! This charming, nostalgic cinema is a cheap date to watch some independent films, classics, and documentaries. The setting is intimate and very unique, so expect to be surprised by the old-timey look and feel. Enjoyed with snacks and slushies!

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ "My husband took me to The Labia Theatre for my birthday, and it was such a memorable experience! As lovers of abstract and mind-bending movies, we definitely had our fill with their fantastic selection of films. The atmosphere is beautiful—there's such a charming and nostalgic vibe that makes the experience even more special. The staff were incredibly helpful and added to the welcoming feel of the theatre. If you're a fan of unique, thought-provoking cinema in a stunning setting, The Labia Theatre is a must-visit. We'll definitely be back!"
