Dendy Cinemas Newtown

“The movies never stopped being good and Dendy are the best at it in Sydney. The programming is great. The snacks are great. The cinema is great. I don’t know why I put off becoming a member for so long. So special thanks to Nikki at the ticketing desk who made the case while I was buying tickets and snacks for Zootopia 2 on a 40 degree day. It was customer service so good I couldn’t say no this time and didn’t want to. You should do the same. Support independent cinemas. See something beautiful and surprising, or go see junk - just do it at the Dendy.”

“This is the place to go if you have FOMO (Fear Of Missing Out) on film festival hits. They always seem to pick up the movies that skip the big multiplexes. Plus, it’s spotless. However, a PSA to my fellow big and tall kings and queens: The seats are aggressively snug. They were apparently designed for Victorian children. If you are big-bodied, be prepared for an intimate encounter with the armrests. There is no territory to claim; it’s a mutual surrender. You will leave knowing your neighbor better than you know your own family.”

“Seats comfy, lift useful, reasonably priced. Only two issues were no rail to help balance on stairs inside cinema, and they need an actual barista if selling coffee (milk hadn’t even been warmed, over 20yrs since I worked at a coffee machine and I still recall how to heat the milk for common coffees). Close to public transport with nearby parking area behind. Nice feel, but I hadn’t asked for an iced coffee rather a real coffee so milk should’ve at least been warmed if unsure how to heat it (pod machine could’ve done better)”
