Ritz Cinema Review

Nice staff. Great classic decor. Comfy seats. Great old photography of local area. The best selection of films and in different formats from 35 -70mm. It's great here x

A clean movie house. It has a faction room. The food that was served with us, was yummy. Most I like is the spring rolls, Pizza and the Shusi . Toilet are clean.

Love this place . But any treats bought are very expensive. Don't like the new choc tops

We went here for the mountain film festival. I love this cinema the feel it's really old school with comfortable seating and the film prices are cheaper than other cinemas .

Deco style in the suburbs. This is what cinema used to be like

Ritz is an excellent theater. I remember when it was owned by Brigidine college nuns. I went to primary school there, and one of my favourite memories was performing on the Ritz stage at 6 years old - funny face!

Aside from the ambiance and Art Deco style the sound and viewing is also excellent, and you can take a glass of wine in with you to your movie.

An iconic Sydney destination and a highly recommended and unique cinematic experience.

Guess it is good for local cinema, but a bit old-fashioned as I have been to various cinema throughout the world, and this place doesn't offer me with a premium experiences.

Went for a screening of European Outdoor Film Tour on their main screen. Really pretty, authentic venue, would love to come back

I usually adore the ritz cinema but service tonight was horrible. Most staff so welcoming and accommodating but a few tonight not so much. Still absolutely love the cinema favourite one for sure! Hope it keeps its old Art Deco vibe alive! It s what makes it unique. -barb

We like this cinema because it is different from the usual big ones and it is cheaper!
The screens and sound system are good quality, maybe just a bit smaller than the big ones you find in the shopping Centre. However the location and the vibe make this historical cinema a good option.
Parking is hard so bus might be a good option.

Friendly service, cinema is cute, nice old building, toilets were a bit gross and need more ventilation.

One of the sweetest most enduring cinemas in Sydney. Always lovely.

Wish the seats were leather and reclining like Hoytz and Reading Cinemas.

Reasonable price, the original main cinema is beautiful with art Deco fittings and a huge screen with great sound. The other cinemas are typical of any multiplex.

Who doesn't love a little cinema that serves wine and beer + ice cream!?! The Ritz has some great events and special screenings, which makes it a little community gem. The young people that work here are all very nice, and even when they're really busy, everyone is friendly and takes the time to smile. Great night out at the movies spot.

Lovely experience watching Malevolent with my daughter. Polite staff and great prices on Mondays. Thanks for everyone at Ritz for making the extra effort to make my night a nice one

We are so lucky to have the Ritz in our area!!! Just saw Parasite which was weird and moving. As nice as it is to sometimes watch movies at home on Netflix etc it's still nice to get out and watch movies with others and share our thoughts after on the movie even with people we don't know.

Good film selection especially less mainstream titles. Good prices and atmosphere.

Best local cinema I've been to. Great prices, friendly staff, good range of the latest films, and quality projection tech. It's hard to beat, even with the world's biggest IMAX only 20mins away...

Beautiful place!! Nostalgic feeling like old times cinemas!

Head up to the bar for happy hour - drinks are so cheap, cocktails included

Local cinema with clean amenities, polite Staff, comfortable seats and a nice bar.

Our local. I just wish that the new owners introduce reserved seating so that we won't need to interrupt our dinner early to queue up to get decent seats.

Reasonably priced movie tickets compared to the major cinema chains, and the Art Deco atmosphere is quite nice.

Upstairs was nice, but the seats were quite uncomfortable

Ritz is fantastic. It's good value and the staff are great.

Beautiful independent cinema. Slightly cheaper movie tickets, clean cinemas, lovely atmosphere and not as crowded as the larger cinemas. If you are a local, this is a great area for a night out. Highly recommend this cinema.

The best movie theatre in Sydney. The main theatre has a balcony, as does the upstairs bar. Popcorn is the real deal. And they often show classic films.

Good movie theater, great bar with outdoors to keep you waiting for your movie.

Inexpensive and old school. Parking can be a bit of an issue, there is a paid park, but if you want a free street park during peak hours you might be looking for a while

Great selection of films from new modern movies to the original 35mm films.

Clean cheap nice staff great food deals and great cinema experience

Lovely little cinema. New films aren't shown for as long as bigger chains so go sooner rather than later for those and also shows some old school films too. Friendly staff. Not over crowded. Nice, pleasant cinema to go to. Have been several times and will go again!

Great price, great staff, great selection of movie. It has a vintage touch of the cinema. Seats are not great compare to the modern cinema in the city, but definitely recommending - UNSW students get a discount as well. Also, there is a nice snack bar and an ACTUAL bar. Great for dates or students.

The back of the seats in screen 4 are a bit low, other than that it's a nice cinema.

Only been here once but felt like I was transported back into another time in the past. The decor is amazing. Feels very arthouse as it's supposed to be. Has a classic entrance of cinemas of yesteryears with the bright incandescent lights. The true-to-tradition counter to buy tickets. Regular 35mm and 70mm screenings for films available in the formats. Good popcorn and their choctops which they make themselves. Seats are smaller than expected. Ticket prices are pretty good as well with $16 for adult. Will surely be heading back.

Great place to come and see a movie, nostalgic but still cosy and having all the things you get at a modern multiplex, but with the personal service you don't get at other places. You can even enjoy a good coffee or alcoholic drink with your movie. Also lots of good restaurants nearby and soon to be easy to reach on the tram. We'll be back even though it's a long trip for us.

Best cinema in the eastern burbs. Good screens, comfy chairs and.... Alcohol!

Classic old school cinema vibe.
Given how horrible the local MultiPlex place is its really good that i have such a cool 'Local'
They do their own chocolate top icecream.

With the added bonus of a bar upstairs and on the balcony.

Become a member and tickets are $10 -awsome value. Comfy seats! @

The shrieking kids in the restaurant haven't come it. Film was good but the armrest on the chairs need an upgrade.

Aircon is very cold advise to take winter clothes or blanket even in summer

Good price. They have a great bar on the top floor and the 50s atmosphere is amazing!

Cool Deco building and the feel of cinema that cares.
Avoid the horror multiplexes and try here.

Great old style, yet modern cinima $16 for your ticket! But why not become a member and get in to every movie for 10 bucks! Variety of size cinema's and all good

Come here for our school excursions and also for myself the cinema is well presented and the cleanliness of the cinema is at a good standard. Not like event which has designated seat it's free for all seating.

Very friendly staff. Beautiful old cinema. Female toilets clean. Good coffee from the coffee shop. Seating comfortable. I hope that they don't lose the beautiful old ceilings and outside lighting with the renovations.

Really charming cinema with that old school feel, definitely worth a visit for a date night!

They wouldn't let me into an MA film even though i was a month away and the manager was very rude and said we were 'wasting his time'

Love the Grand old Style.
The way going to the movies should be.

The Ritz is an Inner East institution. A glorious place to see a movie, it beautifully balances the need for blockbusters and profit with a sense of arthouse style. Like any Australian cinema, there's a sense that everything is being run on a shoestring. A pity. A more lavish sensibility would suit the Ritz's picture-palace pedigree. Even so, you won't find a better independent cinema in Sydney.

Reasonable prices and cool building. Seats could be better.

Ticket staff were friendly, the woman serving beverages was not. No pleasantries or smiling. Small portions of popcorn for too much money. The venue is great however and we enjoyed the movie

Nice place to watch movie, not to crowd.. Nice over for being member..

I went there first time for Sydney Film Festival. I got a big cinema, I felt uncomfortable with the seat upstairs. Also can hear the voice of somebody outside even the door was closed! The bar at the cinema was great I got some drinks before the show time, the price was cheaper than the hotel.

The ladies toilet facilities were disgusting. Smelly, lack of paper and hand dryer. Please ensure this does not happen again. Cecelia Newstadt

Ritz has charm, a wonderful selection of classic films alongside all the latest releases, and unbeatable value tickets. Oh and great terrace bar! Best cinema around.

Love the old feel of this cinema but with a modern quality.

Great art deco vibe, price competitive, the bar is a nice way to wait and relax before the movie, new owners trying to bring in new entertainment, live the place

Good value, and great sound and picture quality. The chairs are a bit old school but who cares. It's everything a cinema should be.

Great place to enjoy movie. Clean and decent movie ticket price.

Like all movie theaters food is overpriced, I bought the mini donuts "prepared fresh" which were just put into a toaster to make them hot an were stale when trying to eat. Seats to small for me as a am a unit.
