Cineworld Cinemas

Cineworld is my second home, I have been a proud owner of the cineworld unlimited card for about 10 years. Could I live without it? I admit, it would be tough.
For 21 euro a month I think it’s great value, not only that… if you have a card they give 25% off on any food/​drinks purchased. So buying a round in the bar… no problemo, they are on me!
I was pretty devastated when they got rid of the Ben&Jerries scoop shop, as that Baskins-​Robbins rubbish is just not the same. I need to start a petition: ‘BRING BACK B&J’s’- ooooh peanutbutter cup how I miss you.
Another big negative is the temperature in the screens, I don’t know why they put the Aircon on full blast all year round, I always make sure to dress like a little michelin man with about 5 layers, so at least I won’t be too cold.

Good Cinema, actually one of my favourite if it comes to the felicities. There is an ice cream shop that I really like (comparing to other movies where you have either ready ice cream or no ice cream at all) plus alcohol bar where you can get drinks before movie. Good selection of movies. Big screens, you can select your sits before hand, the only one minus is the temperature. I went to the cinema yesterday and it was bit chill. I had to stay in my jacket for the first 20min.

Absolutely love this place. A few friends and I have had unlimited cards for over a year now and make regular trips here. By far the best cinema in Ireland, huge screens, spacious seating and a great foyer to relax in. Would definitely recommend going here, Tuesday’s are the bargain nights. Excellent hot dogs and popcorn here too. I would highly recommend investing in an unlimited card, € 21.90 per month for unlimited movies plus discounts on concession and local shops/​restaurants. The cinemas biggest attraction is the breathtaking IMAX screen, the should is so loud you can feel it and picture that beggars belief, even in 3D. The cinema holds unlimited screenings to award card holders and holds midnight screenings for major blockbusters. Occasionally there are screenings of classic movies which is pretty good, usually they have a theme such as, showing the original Mad Max 1 & 2 shortly before the release of Mad Max Fury Road.

The imax screen really brings the movies to life on the big screen and the sound quality is second to none — well worth taking the trip into the city to watch a blockbuster here.

Being an unlimited pass holder, I frequent this location… Nice theater, clean and comfortable. Take advantage of the refreshments which are fairly priced. This location even has autism friendly showings, a bar and ice cream! Whats not to like?!

Love this cinema always very well kept and the staff are always very helpful. The viewing late at night is a little cheaper we went to the last showing and it only cost € 7.90 always a bonus in my eyes more money to spend on sweets. We always have the ice cream when we come I totally love the bubblegum flavour.

Clean cinemas with a great subscriber option for true movie-​fanatics like myself. After having visited twice I decided to bite the bullet and sub for a year up front. I will be in Dublin for a year and this will make for enjoyable rec. time after work nights. This Cineworld is HUGE 4-​levels with arcades billiards and table tennis on the first floor. Others were stating the concessions were overpriced; and while that is expected, I found them to be a bit cheaper than the theatres were I am from in America so it was less painful for me to go for a few sweets and drinks. Closely located to lots of shopping and dining options, this is a great place to visit after a long night out for a late night flick!

Been an unlimited member for almost three years — best decision I ever made! Cheap and cheerful date night (or day!) And the staff are always very attentive and friendly :)

Pros:
— solid IMAX screen with reserved seating
— unlimited movie card
— clean and nicely designed building
Cons:
— café and snacks aren’t all that great
— theater wasn’t cleaned up to a satisfactory degree

I’m leaving on Parnell street just in front of the Cineworld. As a movie addict I couldn’t be happier! The super positive point of this cinema is that it offers you the possibility to pay a monthly fee of 21.90 € to get an unlimited card that allows you to watch as many movies as you want during the month! Awesome deal

I watch A LOT of movies. And tend to scout out the movie theaters when I visit a place or move somewhere new. Cineworld is the typical larger theater of Dublin. Big screens, comfy seats, the newest big hit movies. But for the price is it so typical. Comparatively to Lighthouse or IFI, I’d only come here if I absolutely had to. The other two theaters I mentioned offer such a nicer experience and coffee. I’d grown so habitual with getting a coffee with my movie at the IFI and Lighthouse I was confused when I went to get a coffee here and they didn’t have any.
All in all, just you’re typical big screen, expensive snacks, most popular movies playing theater. It’s clean, it does the job, but like I said, try to go to one of the other theaters if you have the choice.

Full disclosure — I used to work here, so this cinema has a special place in my heart.
It’s a bit womby — it’s warm and dark and the music on the tannoys gives you a feeling of being surrounded. The carpets soak up all noise of your footprints. The walls are dark purple, as are the floors. It smells comforting.
I know it’s an odd thing to say about a large franchise cinema, but for atmosphere I’d say it’s probably my favourite cinema in Dublin.
If you’re looking for arthouse, this isn’t the place to find it. However, it is really good for Bolloywood, and Dublin’s Indian population regularly pack out Bollywood screenings.
It’s typical blockbuster fare you’ll mostly find here, and the concessions are fairly pricey (as with all cinemas, to be fair).
That’s not to say there’s not the odd film you won’t have heard of. With 17 screens, it’s rare there’d be nothing to suit.
It has a bar, with bar food (which isn’t all that bad actually) and it has a monthly unlimited card, which allows you to see as many films as you want. If you’re happy to go to one place to see your movies, it makes financial sense, even if you only were to see two.
JDIFF happens here annually too.

J’avoue qu’à la vue des 19 € la place pour Avengers 2 en IMAX 3D j’avais un peu mal mais sincèrement quel spectacle !
Une salle immense avec une image magnifique et un son qui vous prend aux tripes (j’ai eu des frissons à la vision de la seconde bande-​annonce de StarWars VII).
Autrement le cinéma est très sympa pleins de services, dégustez un bon hot-​dog pendant votre film ;P
Enfin voilà vraiment une très bonne expérience ce cinéma

What I like most it is the possibility of paying a monthly fee to watch as many movies you want (some restrictions apply). You also get some discounts when purchasing some of their food when you are paid member.
The only downside here is their location. Dublin 1 is not the safest part of Dublin, especially near Parnell Street.

This is the closest movie theatre to where I live so I came here to see Big Hero 6, and have been here before on numerous occasions. There are many screens with many viewing times, and the screens themselves are quite big too. The seats are comfortable, it’s nor hot/​cold and there is also a good variety of snacks and ice cream. It’s probably one of the biggest movie theaters in Dublin, and their online booking is really handy.
Negatives are that the staff are not very friendly. I’ve been served by rude ticket staff a few times before so now I mainly book online. Another thing I noticed is that the ads for the movie I saw were like 20~25 mins long with all these trailers and clips. They’re usually 10 mins at other theaters, or maybe it’s just Disney movies.
An Update: I saw Inside Out just recently and there was 20 mins of ads and clips as I arrived 10 minutes late and sat through 10 minutes of ads and a short animation before the actual movie started. Also, there’s always a slow moving line on weekends, so I’d say arrive with plenty of time on hand if you plan to buy your tickets at the counter. But weekday tickets are cheaper, and they offer a student discount. You they started to now do seating allocations which weren’t there before, but you can only choose between back, middle or front as opposed to the exact seat location.
Overall, not a bad place with plenty of screenings and 3 floors! Not the cheapest place unless your a student coming on a early weekday afternoon.

Very nice cinema, but also extremly expensive. After 5 PM they add extra 2 – 3 euros to the ticket plus and additional 15 mins commercials before the movie. So make sure the movie you are catching here is high on the rotten tomato scale or whom ever you take is an awesome person you might want to merry or spend a solid part of your life with. This cinema scores high on the Local-​Irish scale, because it is one of the few cinemas with a bar inside that serves you beer.

The theaters are spacious and always clean. Always showing the latest and greatest movies. I really like the bar area they have, it’s nice to grab a drink and relax a bit before the show. They also have a deal where they do a monthly membership for roughly 20 euro which allows you access to unlimited movies for the month.

A great cinema, well kept but more on the pricey side. They do the take 2 deal but often the films aren’t great, but if the movie is good and worth seeing then the take 2 deal is amazing value. This is the cinema I regularly attend.
The place is well organised and very tidy. Like in any other cinema, the snacks and drinks are priced like gold, but other than that, it’s a great place with a great atmosphere and friendly staff.

I like this cinema. Lots of screens, lots of times, very organised so no matter how long the que is it moves so quickly. It is a little expensive but hey, aren’t all cinema’s these days.
What I love in particular about this cinema is that they have a bar. Perfect for those times you have to wait around for the movie to start, though again it is a little pricy. They’ve got an ice cream bar, a great sweet selection & of course hot treats like popcorn & nachos etc. The only reason I’m deducting a star is because I often find the popcorn to be stale & for that reason am less inclined to get it while I’m here which is a let down because the treats are sometimes the best part of going to the pictures!

Meh. They’re good cinemas. Big screens, comfortable seats. But expensive, so expensive! 13 euro for a ticket and that again for food /​drink. Also no seating allocations — super annoying when it’s a full screening and you’ve paid so much to be there.
I mean, it’s grand. It does what it says on the tin. But I’d take the Lighthouse any day!

Cineworld on Parnell St is Dublin’s biggest cinema with 13+ screens and is the hangout spot for everyone who dislikes the weather, is sick of pubs, and for all blockbuster enthusiasts. That said, the cinema is busy every time of the day — come here early in the evenings to avoid a sold out show.
The good:
— specials available: online booking (10 euro per ticket) or monthly pass (20 Euro per month with unlimited access and 25% off food & drinks)
— variety of screens
— all the latest blockbuster movies
— bar on the first floor
The bad:
— some seats need an overhaul
— people: when the two girls on your right get comfy and put their feet on the seat in front of them, and when that idiot on the left finally finishes his crackling popcorn bag after 30mins only to continue with a rustling bag of sweets, you know you’re in the cinema
Fair enough, I personally have a low tolerance for people that show no respect to others so I might not be the perfect cinema goer. I do, however, appreciate this Dublin institution.

Gigantischer Bau mit einem vielfältigen Angebot. Vor allem interessant für cineastische vielgänger ist die Abo Card um richtig viel Kino für wenig Geld zu haben. Lohnt sich aber nur wenn man vor Ort lebt z.b. als Aupair oder ähnliches.
