J JAugust 10, 2014Huge screen, great sound. Atmosphere is great, nothing too commercial. Films selection is always amazingly well mixed between commercial film and indie and world cinema.
Nöra LölliepeNovember 14, 2014Independent, non-mainstream and cool movies that you will not see at regular cinemas. There is always something cool going on here. And after the movie, you can comment it with friends at their café
Best cinema in town! Become a member, there is high value to it. Plenty of Q&As with directors and actors, totally worth it😍
Antonella SaxAugust 5, 2012I don't like the stew which is too spicy. The best way to wait for a movie or just relax there is to get a glass of wine and share a plateof Irish cheese or a mix of ham, salami and cheese! Enjoy!
Alison Ní DhorchaidheFebruary 6, 2012The fish n chips are the best! The wines are great. Staff are lovely. Being a member is really worth it. The most comfy film experience. My fave spot in Dublin. :)
Kim PhamSeptember 26, 2015A lovely spot in Temple Bar to catch independent films. The IFI Documentary Festival is great!

- Cafe in the foyer Handy for families with kids when in temple bar or hungry after the Ark.
Also provides one of the best, most secluded and spacious smoking areas in the city.
Good friendly service. Nice simple food. Cheese and charcuterie board is nice, especially the honey
VanessaAugust 26, 2013Don't expect good or attentive customer service from the bar staff. Or even acknowledgement! Nice place though!
Eggs Benedict on the Sunday lunch menu is spectacular

"Surprisingly decent espresso in the bar - excellent service too!"
Rob Burke - 7.7
"I love the old school classical sienna feel to The Savoy. You'll experience some nostalgia in the main cinema screen with the red curtains and spacious seating. The savoy is a real Dublin icon!"
