Always nice to visit. Drink and film in small atmospheric rooms.
Smaller releases in smaller halls. Fine beers on tap in a beautiful Amsterdam school building.
Cosy art-house cinema. Interesting movies and decent prices.
Small but very cozy movie house. Better than all those big halls today. Also with nice cafe.
beautiful old theater with small halls for a living room atmosphere. Great seats and the chat beforehand by the expliciter (nice word!) Is a must to better understand the film and its background.
Great first corona terrace packed. Surprised by the very friendly service. Very cool and easy atmosphere. We still thought it is because of her. But no, her replacement was also very friendly. Also very pleasant when you come alone. Thanks people.
Watching great movies and having a drink. Mustard soup (from a package?) Was a bit disappointing
The movie theater is quite nice but does not sell popcorn/candy
What a top location, friendly staff watching a movie in a room that feels like a living room
Beautiful building, superb place to have a drink, relative small cinema rooms/screens. Therefore not the best place to watch an action movie but I love to watch any other movie here.
Quality movie theatre with character. Decent food and an excellent location for just a drink.
Nice place if you want to avoid the big move places. You can also have diner or drinks in a nice restaurant.
Cozy combination of film theater and kroegrwstaurant
Beautiful movie house with fine programming. Also great food and drinks. In terms of staff, it changes a lot (unfortunately): some are very friendly and customer-oriented, others are really short and also make you wait a long time while they are busy with colleagues or themselves (too bad!). Hopefully this improves and my next visits are 5 stars.
Top tent, good movies, good beer and good food. Explicators do their work well, and really make you appreciate the films more and understand them better.
The cinema is fairly dated, but makes a lot of good by being very cozy and authentic. The movie selection is fun. Not only Blockbusters, but also many independent films. The films are still announced by a person who also does a short chat with information about the film. What really makes the difference for me with many other cinemas is the possibility to have a nice drink before or / and after the film. There are several places in the building where you can simply enjoy a beer at a table. The 'courtyard' is very cozy, highly recommended. The terrace is also in a nice place. So you can easily combine your film with a snack and a drink here, making friends with the cinema a lot more enjoyable. A good beer list is certainly present, even a few beers on tap. Do not expect to be able to order a bowl of fresh popcorn or to create candy for the film, then you better visit one of the new cinemas.
Nice place for a snack, a drink and or an arthouse film.
LHC is een begrip in Utrecht !
Ik hoop dat ze de Covid crisis kunnen doorstaan. LHC hoort bij Utrecht !
Very nice small and old fashioned. Rotate interesting films
The promised potatoes and salad with our main courses never came. Operation was super nice.
This cinema has a great vibe, and shows great movies! Arthouse as well as Hollywood movies. I love it! And the beer selection is great
Unique cinema. Small, cozy, personal approach with often an explanation prior to film.
Great tent for a movie experience.
Many places to have a drink before and after the movie with a large assortment of beers, wines and tasty (also many vegetarian) snacks.
The films are always introduced with a short introduction that is told very skillfully. The cinemas are small and cozy, very nice for a movie date!
Very moderate cinema. The row of chairs does not rise sufficiently and does not shift relative to each other (half-brick bond), so your entire film is facing you. Furthermore, poor climate control. Outside 17gr and within 30.
Nice and cosy art house cinema with a great collection of movies. In an era of commercial multiplexes packed with superficial blockbusters, LHC is truly a gem Utrecht is lucky to have.
Beautiful building, nice and beautiful ambiance only the vegetarian food is a drama. Not to eat. I would definitely skip it considering the price.
Nice movie theater in a beautiful architectural building.
Great cinema for non-blockbusters. Also a nice place for drinks, lunch or dinner
Nice architecture, good films, good beer. What's not to like?
Small but therefore very nice cinema. Friendly staff, also in the ministry and excellent food, possibly nice in the sun on the terrace
vintage cinema, cool place, not the most friendly stuff at the bar.. but maybe we were just on a bad day .. in general a nice place with more artistic movies
Great cinema. Good selection of films. On a busy Sunday afternoon it is hard to swallow; too busy.
Klassieke bios voor de betere film in een monumentaal pand. De extreem gevulde tomatensoep is een dikke aanrader.
Een van de leukere bioscopen in Utrecht. Ruim assortiment aan drankjes die mee de zaal in mogen en een explicateur die wat interessante punten uit de film toelicht. Eten is er ook goed en niet duurder dan bij de omliggende restaurants.
Fine food, drinks and a good movie afterwards. Great combination!
Very nice and atmospheric cinema with full on occasions in the neighborhood to have a nice drink somewhere afterwards. Before the film starts you will get a real introduction from someone who will tell you something about the film, the recordings and some trivia.
Er hangt teveel een O wat zijn we toch hip sfeertje. Niet genereus. Juf achter de kassa was insinuerend onbehoorlijk.
Favorite cinema ever. It is worth so much extra that a somewhat uncomfortable story is told in advance.
Altijd goede sfeer voor een rustig drankje, met of zonder film
Smaller image but more spacious seats in the cinema, and nice to have a snack or drink
Always a treat to watch a movie here, because background information about the film is told beforehand.
Fine cinema with pleasant catering both outside and inside.
Cozy location, it remains the Police Station Tolsteeg for the elderly
Always nice, a nice selection of films that are introduced before the film starts. Very nice to hear. In addition, you can kitchen delicious beer in the cafe and you can also take it into the room. Super cinema!
Beautiful films, nice people behind the counter and in the service. Simple, but good food.
Whether you want to go to a good movie or just have a drink, LHC is the place to be. Extensive beer list, good food, friendly service and three different cafes can be found in this former police station Tolsteeg. More
Lovely art deco art house cinema. Great restaurant with outdoor seating. Lively area. Perfect.
Nice cozy accommodation where film and cafe / restaurant visit (including terrace) can be combined.
Cinema halls cozy. Not big you can also go for your drink. Beautiful roof-garden covered. Cozy
Lovely cinema. Great selection of art house films and the cafe area is gorgeous.
Fijn filmhuis met meerdere zalen en prima gelegenheid om wat te eten en drinken.
Cozy ambiance, great hospitality and beautiful films
Cozy place where you can drink, eat and watch movies.
