Cineworld Renfrew Street, Glasgow
When I first moved to Glasgow, one of the first thing I noticed was the massive Cineworld in town – the huge building is over 12 levels high with 18 screens, and even has an entry in the Guinness Book of Records for being the world’s tallest cinema! (I was probably the last person to discover this!)
So I’m sure you’ve all visited there at some point, but where else is there to see a movie if you’re not a Cineworld fan? I was recently taken to Ashton Lane and noticed that they have the cutest cinema there next to all the bars called The Grosvenor, I definitely am going to visit it soon. With only 2 screens it’s definitely smaller than Cineworld! The interior looks really trendy (for want of a better, less cringey word) with comfortable seats and sofas. They offer a deal for food and film – perfect if you want to make an evening of going to see a movie. To top it off, not only do they sell American candy and Mountain Dew but you are also free to take your drinks from the bar (which are priced a normal bar prices) into the screen with you – so take note, don’t have a glass of wine because the coziness of the cinema plus the sleepiness induced by rosé might just make you fall asleep.
It sounds like the homely feel of the cinema is a definite selling point for it, as reviews from Yelp.com praise it –
“It’s amazing! I felt right at home watching the latest Harry Potter flick… the only thing I was missing were my slippers!”

So if you fancy seeing a film there soon, head over to their website – I reckon ‘The Woman in Black’ would be even scarier in this kind of cinema! This is also their twitter as well – @GrosvenorCinema. And after you can hit the Lane for some cocktails, there are lots of cute bars there too. Keep tuned to the blog as I’ll be posting more places you can see films in Glasgow, along with reviews of films I’ve seen once I can convince someone to come along with me!
