The Avenue Cinema Royal Avenue, Belfast BT1 1DD

"Best cinema experience I have ever had. Beautiful decor, very cosy sofa chairs with footstools and the best of all ... cocktails!! Big shout out to the manager. He greeted us at the door and introduced himself as Anthony. What a legend!!! Also want to mention that the table service is not in any way distracting. Staff is quiet and quick. Def worth the money!!!"

"The manager Anthony was lovely, friendly, accommodating and professional. We didn't know what to expect but we were definitely excited to try the new cinema experience that arrived to Belfast. If you have reservations around having food during the movie, don't! Everything is served in the screening before the movie starts. Yes some staff coming and going but nothing different than other people coming and going for toilet breaks. Nothing was a major issue. Food is so nice! The range of drinks served is welcoming in comparison to any other cinema experience in Northern Ireland. We now are not behind the times. The staff are lovely and accommodating. We are currently sitting after our movie with a beer and a second serving of nachos as they were so good. We cannot wait to return as we look at dates and times for Cocaine Bear. Definitely a new regular date night on the cards. Just try it! You won't be disappointed in regards to the overall experience."

"Seats were comfy, the area manager for omniplex (who owns the avenue) was awesome, but tis 4 stars because food was cold, and quite poor, parking for the duration of the movie was around £8, so overal an expensive trip to the cinema. (£90 overall). Servers forgot to bring our food initially. Initial impression is that the screen was quite small in studio 5, but the quality of the projector and sound was amazing, absolutely brilliant quality equipment. The movie started and servers were still taking orders, which meant delivery was 10/15 mins into the movies was very distracting. I would suggest giving everyone a slip of paper to fill in their order, like a tick box order page of the menu, and hand it to a member of staff and pay BEFORE entering the studio, this way there's no distractions and the food is ready in good time. But give them the benefit of the doubt, opening weekend and will likely improve. Omnipass subscribers should get some type of perk, even if it's a small discount or point system, and we shouldn't have to pay parking, or atleast get a discounted parking rate."

"Lovely experience watching the new 65 film. Staff were very friendly and had great service. Food was lovely and it was such a change getting food and drink brought into your seat. Some small teething problems with the full menu not being available but expected in its opening week so it will certainly not put me off returning. Such a lovely cinema vibe and one which I can’t wait to experience again!"

"Opening night so possibly why so many problems encountered. We ordered the small plates - £18 very small. Tasted nice but not worth money. They forgot to bring some of the food order. Servers constantly disturbing you to bring people food - usually to wrong people. No servers in for ages when we arrived. Movie starter trailers and all nearly half an hour late. Interior is nice. Think a better idea would be for people to have food not in cinema. Possibly just more snacks. Staff under pressure it seemed. Would possibly give it another shot but not sold"
