Everyman Hampstead

Nice enough cinema with comfy seats (recommend a sofa), but after having spent £50 on the sears and drinks, to then have my £1 packet of Haribo seized by a member of staff seemed pretty pedantic and left a sour taste in the mouth.

What do I hate about cinemas?
Rude staff. Paying a fortune just for some cold popcorn. Chairs that are not comfortable whoever you position yourself.
Everyman has none of these problems. Staff who are, if anything, overly polite bringing food and drink to your seat, a seat that is actually comfortably. It costs a bit more, but the difference is not so huge. They usually show a good choice of films. Their pizzas are good and they have a few nice beers. The end result is feeling incredibly lucky and spoilt! If you can afford a few quid extra, there is no comparison to your standard chain cinema.

This cinema is the bomb. Probably the most comfortable cinematic experience of my life. I see someone else complained about the sofas but mine was great. Also what set the experience apart was how nice all of the staff were (and I think we interacted with about 5). Also, great selection of films: Birdman, Whiplash, Foxcatcher and Paddington were on the day I went. Can’t wait for my next visit. Sure £15 is steep but for such a good experience I felt it was worth it and you would pay at least that for a far inferior experience in Leicester Square.

Though I love the Everyman brand– this location is not their best. The seats are a dated and tired material where as other Everyman cinema’s have more up to date couches and chairs. It is in a great location but I feel some refurbishments are needed as when sitting in particular material red seats it has worn indents from sinking in that results in seating you lower. They have premium seats you can pay for if you want. Other gripe is they do not serve popcorn in this location! Popcorn and movies just go together and it is weird that they do not serve it. They serve an assortment of other snacks but it is not the same. It is still a preferred experience than a big chain theater as they have bar snacks & drinks served to your seat but with some subtle changes it could be much better.

YES! Everman is right: «A unique experience» — What a cosy little cinema with a very inspiring location! Very untypical because the viewers can chill down on SOFAS or even love seats :) The big point of this arrangement is the big and comfy space on every seat. I was watching 7 Psychopaths, had some great Cashews and an open redwine. If you like sophisticated movies you are right at Everyman.
The seats have 3 different categories: GALLERY ADULT £12.50 — STANDARD ADULT £12.50 and CLUB SUITE (2 Seats) £25.
Enjoy the show! It’s great!

How to watch film in style… comfortable. Great alternative to the rex in Berkhampstead (if you’ve not been there book and go!)…

Cool old cinema, comfy lounges!!! Recommend

I actually came to this venue for a film club meet up – to talk about movies, not to see a movie. For that purpose, it was really perfect. Just a short stroll from the Hampstead Station (literally, I think you can see it from the exit), Everyman is two levels of cinema, bar, café and lounge.
Our group met on the second level lounge, a small area near the concessions with several couches, drink tables and plush stool seating. This accommodated our small group perfectly, and we could easily chat in a laid back parlor atmosphere while drinking pints and enjoying the not-​too-​loud jazzy mix being played.
The lower level offered more bar seating/​tables, and a walk past the concession counter showed light dining fare like quiche (melty and gooey, looked pretty tasty to me).
As far as unique picturehouses go, I really enjoyed this one’s set up and vibe, and love that it facilitates chatting/​drinks before or after seeing a film, how it should be.

Best way to see the pictures. Often more obscure choices which is a pleasant change from majors — downsides are a smallish screen and overpriced food /​beverage.

My experience at The Everyman Hampstead this evening was the best cinematic experience I have had, EVER. This theatre even puts all the huge theatres back in southern California well to shame.
The Everyman has got it right. From the comfy couches with pillows to the helpful and genuine staff, they know what they are doing here. It is a great place to escape the cold and curl up on a couch with your loved one. Not to mention they always seem to choose the best films to show here.
What is also so amazing about the Everyman is their extensive menu with snacks, food, sweets, and booze. Their wine selection is quite extensive actually. I have heard rumours that they offer mulled wine during the winter season. I can’t wait for that. But seriously how much better can it get? Here you can enjoy a lovely film, a big comfy couch for two, and a huge glass of wine the size of your dome.
Yep, it’s official. The Everyman in Hampstead is the only place I’m headed for all my cinematic adventures from now on.

You can pay 13.25 to be in some cold, unfriendly, ugly, multi-​million dollar movie theatre chain (ehem, Vue Cinema in Leicester Square)…orrrrr, you could pay 12 quid to sit on a comfy sofa, with a side table and cute waiters to serve you a selection of drinks and bit plates at THE EVERYMAN.
I’ll have the latter please.

Sometimes I just fancy a more up market cinematic experience, the type where I can swap my popcorn for white chocolate raspberries and my diet coke for a nice glass of red. This is where the Everyman steps in.
It prides itself on a whole different attitude to screening and no corners are cut as they deliver their stylish and comfortable ethos. There are two lovely reception lounges where you can enjoy a pre movie drink and a cloakroom that really makes a difference when you’ve just come in from the rain. Need somewhere to stash your golf brolly whilst you enjoy the film? No problem. The two screening lounges are both filled with big, comfy armchairs and sofas (no standard seat rows in sight), a mini table for your treats and most even have a wine cooler at the side. All the seats are also waited on by efficient service staff so you don’t even need to queue for your peppadews and Italian bread.
I recommend that you book, if only to get the best seats (choose from the online seating plan). Try the sofa ⁷⁄₈ on row E, Screening Lounge 1, perfect for cuddling up on.
The only thing they leave for you to do is to put your feet up and wait for the film to start. They’ve got the rest covered

A bit out the way for me, but i do make a special journey here now and again!
Sheer luxury… no having to stand up clutching your bags when someone needs to get past you… so…much…leg room! I shared a pink sofa last time i was here… and it was delicious. Also happened to go on Acoustic night! It was amazing, instead of those annoying orange wednesday adverts we got a lovely girl and her guitar to watch!

Watching a film in this cinema is like being in your living room if it was better appointed, sleeker and had a massive tv. You can pay for normal seats or more expensive sofas in the upstairs balcony and the Everyman was a pioneer in the wine and nibbles in cinemas revolution. Pricey but worth it if you’re making a trip to the cinema your main event of the day.

Small cinemas are always a winner. Not too much choice, a nice bar bit, liberal drinks policies and a balanced film selection.
Essentially, a visit to the cinema is only as good as the film you see but I do care about the atmosphere. I don’t like kids chucking pop corn at Angelina’s head and people putting their crotch in my face on their way to their 4^th toilet break. When I’ve been The Everyman has definitely been a cool experience, relaxed and they do sell great bar snacks — salt and pepper cashews, get them.
