Brass Monkey in Edinburgh, United Kingdom.
“Three or four times a month I would trek to Drummond Street, lured in part by the lingering novelty of being able to order alcohol, but mostly because of what was hidden behind a heavy velour curtain at the back of the pub: a dilettante cinephile’s Shangri-La, complete with a pull down screen and floor to ceiling posters brandishing the mugs of Robert DeNiro, Jack Nicholson, Uma Thurman, Uncle Tom Cobley and all. Patrons could plonk down on a sprawling mattress dotted with oversize pillows and use wobbly wooden tables with pint-sized (by which I mean the size of an actual pint glass) cut outs to secure their drinks.”
This seems like the best possible way to watch cinema, and reminds me very much of Group Nap Time. (And also of this.)
