Dendy Cinemas - Newtown
Why locals love it
An enduring fixture of Newtown life and a stalwart of our independent cinema scene. In fact, it's one of the only ones left standing! They've survived on a pitch perfect blend of art and commerce: box office hits rub shoulders with indie darlings and the occasional freakozoid. The candy bar's first-rate too, doing its part to keep the place afloat.
Why you should visit it
You'll find films here you won't see anywhere else in town, including the crème de la crème of international cinema. And their crème glacée is infinitely superior to the congealed muck they serve at the multiplexes. You're also much less likely to share the foyer with sugar-fuelled kids seeing the latest sanitised version of the hero's journey.
