For few years now I am going sometimes to cinema that is part of the Europa Cinemas network.
It is partly run by my city and one of the university. It is quite cool to be able to watch some art films from around the world, documentaries but they are still showing the big American blockbusters.
They don’t sell popcorn or cola but they have craft beers on tap that you can take with you to the screening room - my French friend really like that part of the experience ;-)
The tickets are really affordable ~6-10€ but I usually spend bit more on the beer.


There’s a few super-ultra-mega plexes in town but we have a handful of 80s/90s era second run theaters that have maintained their vibe and adopted things like craft beer. We’ve got one indie only art theater that has been a staple for decades and a former stage-turned silent-turned talkie theater from the early 20th century that still has it’s original organ and hosts stage acts, new release indies, and cult classics. It was build when King Tut mania first hit and is an Ancient Egypt meets art deco city treasure.
