Robert and I are avid movie goers. Whenever a new movie is out, you'll find us going to one place and one place only!! The Embassy - by far the best movie theatre ever! It has recently upgraded to another 2 movie screens, but they are smaller and not so grand.
When "The Lord of The Rings" (The Return of the King) first came out, it was first premiered here. They will probably do the same for The Hobbit in December 2012. I would recommend seeing a Wellington made movie in Wellington's finest movie theatre.
The bar below is called 'Blondinis'. This is where you can purchase a nice glass of wine and you are allowed to take it with you into the theatre - classy!
It's lovely during the day because there is no one there. You can read your book, sip on a flat white and relax without being disturbed.
And here she is, the big screen!!!
Ahhh, The Embassy - we love you. You are a treat!
what a beautiful theatre - and i say that instead of using the term cinema b/c it seems like a true theatre experience. love the design. wish they all looked like this!
ReplyDeleteI know, it truly is a fabulous experience. I wish they all looked like this, too :-)
ReplyDeleteI want to go! There is a place called Brewvies in Utah where you can take beer and food into the theater. Not so classy, but still a fabulous idea. I wish we could have a girls' night out at The Embassy.
ReplyDeleteI wish we could, too!!! I'd LOVE to go there with you both!!! They sometimes have special movie nights where they show older movies. For instance, this month they are showing 'The Rocky Horror Picture Show'. People even get dressed up for it.
