Why were Picturehouse Central's Members' Bar access rules changed?


Picturehouse Central was formerly under a licensing and planning review. Because of this, the rules of the Members' Bar and how customers used it were changed.


Now the review is complete, West End Members are permitted to use the Members' Bar whenever available, without needing a same-day cinema ticket.


Who can access the Members' Bar now, and when?


The Members' Bar is now open to West End Members and up to four of their guests, or those attending a pre-booked private event in the space. A same-day cinema ticket is not required for entry.


The Members' Bar is open from 12.00–21.00. Upcoming closures or altered opening hours for the Members' Bar are listed in the Food & Drink tab on the Picturehouse Central website page.


What are the current rules around buying alcohol at Picturehouse Central?


At the Members' Bar, our First Floor Bar & Restaurant, and at our kiosks, Members and guests require a same-day cinema ticket to purchase alcohol after 21.00. No ticket is required before 21.00.


At the Ground Floor Café, customers must purchase food, or hold a same-day cinema ticket, to purchase alcohol at any time.
