I like the orpheus for what it is, a small independent cinema. It gets the balance just about right between showing mainstream popcorn munchers and art house foreign films.
The theartes are tiny and depending on which one you go in the seats can be pretty uncomfy. The thing is when I was a child (in the 80’s) all cinemas were like this and I love it for that reason. I’m not a big fan of multiplex’s and their overpriced tickets, food and everything else. Not every one wants to go bowling after seeing a film!
The orpheus is cheap as chips for tickets but the food and beverages are still overpriced but nowhere near as much as a multiplex.
I’m not sure about disabled access as there is steep steps (about 30) to get to the ticket booth but there maybe round the back.
As I understand it the cinema also has a understanding with the waitrose next door and he cock o’ the north pub (which has been renamed to something else) over the road, for parking. However I recommend you get the number 54 bus which stops right outside and can take you to the centre and back.
To conclude it’s worth going to the orpheus for the experience alone irrelevant of the film you go to see. The screens are probably smaller then most current £1000 tv’s but this place could almost be considered a museum to what cinemas were like before multiplex’s.
My favourite cinema in Bristol.

This cinema is a great choice for kids films - the cheap prices and tiny (yes i mean tiny) theatres are great for a family outing.
However, for an intimate night out or checking out the latest blockuster I reckon you really need:
a) a decent sound system,
b) a huge screen and also,
c) a tad more spce in each theatre in case you need to move away form the inevitable weirdo who sits in front of you!!
If you agree with my a, b & c you’ll need to go elsewhere to get a decent movie!
