Luxury Cinemas in the UK
14 UK Cinemas That Go Above and Beyond the Usual Multiplex

The Electric in Birmingham has the accolade of being the UK's oldest working cinema. It's thoroughly modern now, though, with waiter service, a bar, and sofas. The two digital screens show a mix of classic, foreign, independent, and mainstream films. It's also where the Electric Cinema Film Orchestra started out, playing live performances in sync with specially edited film footage.
It has its own label of bottled ale, offers Absinthe Parisienne using a traditional fountain, and serves Poptails — popcorn flavoured cocktail — along with cocktails themed around the films they're showing.
