15 Things Only Tyneside Cinema Fans Will Understand

8. Being Able To Drink

Gatsby Cheers Gif With the exception of the kind of people who take hip flasks in (animals), it isn€™t usually possible to enjoy a tipple with your movie. But that's not the case at The Tyneside. Because the owners clearly have faith in the class of their clientele, they make cinema more about the movie theatre experience than any identikit multiplex and that extends to the licence to drink alcohol during screenings. Around most screens you€™ll find kiosks where, alongside the usual snacks and ice cream, you€™ll be able to purchase a selection of wines and beers - while drinks can also be taken into screens from the Bar Cafe. The clientele means that yes, while people are having alcohol, there isn€™t a worry about an effect on your own experience.
