The Ritzy in Lambeth

Very low quality food. Both dishes we ordered were dry and stogey, and probably microwaved before served. Very unlike food you would expect at a vegetarian Indian restraunt.

The female staff I believe the usher on duty and the two female bar people where just kind, fun and accommodating. I did thank the manager but want to shout especially to Laila - thank you

Amazing experience! I went in for Barbie opening day and wasn’t disappointed with the atmosphere. Employees were all-dressed in pink (one was wearing a pink cowboy hat 🤠), pink balloons were everywhere, place was buzzing, and there was definitely fun chalkboard drawings for Barbenheimer! The screen and venue itself was high class. If you want a good screen, this is the place - and my screen wasn’t even the best one. I can’t speak for the food because I swear off all theatre food. What I did instead was that we went to the nearby Brixton Market (~5 mins away) and ate there. Now for the very expensive ticket price (I’m comparing this to my Canadian prices. Also it was 14.5 pounds), it was well worth it simply because of the effort the place went for Barbenheimer. If you are going for a premiere, go to this one. However for normal movie going, probably don’t go.

Used to visit this place often with friends, last time attending a screening and enjoying drinks on NYE, very enjoyable. However, yesterday afternoon's experience was shocking! Huge swathes of people pushing through main doors to get in, security guard just standing close by doing nothing! Someone aggressively pushed me, luckily I had my balance or could have been much worse or even fatal (especially with what has happened down the road very recently!). Shabby interior, friendly bar staff upstairs, who tried her best, but bar area was strewn with half drank cans, sweets and other items (Lemsip!), which later realised were from the cast/band. Do they not have a green room or equivalent? So unprofessional to sit next to them on their break and then see the security guard come and relax too, to charge his phone, was anyone on duty downstairs then? They could have roped the area off for staff/visitors or cleared it for customers, need to make a choice! Working in a theatre, I was shocked at the state of affairs here.

Rude staff not letting us see movie… never go . We proved age but still didn’t let us in after 2 hours

I had a speaking event at this cozy, comfortable venue and thoroughly enjoyed every aspect of it. Snack food and drinks were excellent

Went to see Maverick in screen 3 and a strong smell of urine filled the entire cinema, many people complained but no response, amazing how they could open, it was disgusting. Toilets that people did use were not very nice either. Rubbish everywhere sinks not working. Good film tho but won’t be going back.

This cinema is so cosy. I love the fact that the cinema is so small. There is a bar so you can totally relax while taking in a film. You can just hang out there as well. It's a really lovely place.

Awful manager! Went to the cinema on Tuesday, and when we were sat down people had the same seats as us - turned out we’d turned up a day too late! Despite the cinema being practically empty the manager wouldn’t let us go in, was being cryptic about how much it would cost us, saying it would be a lot... She was so rude and ruined my friends birthday. So unreasonable considering we’d just spent £20 on food and drinks and it was clearly an innocent mistake.

This is a brilliant local cinema. There are 5 screens but you MUST see a film in Screen 1, it’s stunning. The staff are nice and helpful, the bar downstairs is well stocked and the coffee is great!

Great experience We were waiting for family members at a gig at the Academy So my daughter and I went to the Ritzy We had a drink and watched movie 1917 Couldn’t believe the lovely attitude of staff the cool venue The quality of the coffee and the great Cinema Thank you great value and a memorable night for us both

Excited to see Knives Out. And we're members of The PictureHouse chain, love the one in Clapham. But this was a horrible experience. The place was so hot that everyone came out sweaty with hair plastered to their heads. Several customers complained of the smell of urine (not helped by the excessive heat) and a staff member came in and sprayed air freshener everywhere, that didn't help. The place needs a good clean and to sort it's aircon/heating out.

My family and I were looking forward to the first screening of Maleficent, but left after 20 minutes. Screen 4 (sadly not the large screen for a new film, why??) was absolutely freezing and the stench of urine was quite distracting. Certainly not a nice experience. Apparently even the staff prefer to view films elsewhere because of this! I’ve recently read that a number of the Picturehouse cinemas are closing, which quite frankly is unsurprising. Especially since they have been owned by Cineworld for a number of years. Whilst the cinemas are quite stylish and used to show non-mainstream films, 85% of what they show you can see elsewhere in far more comfortable surroundings. All style over substance, with increasingly ridiculous prices.

Either after or Before work and including my days off from my full time paid hostel employment and after My Quaker Meeting For Worship; The Ritzy Bar is my number one favourite watering hole and this place in its entirety is 100% Outstanding for my Mental Health. I recently watched the excellent Film Dumbo - directed by Tim Burton in screen one.

This is how cinema should be! The main cinema is stunning (I'm not sure which number it is). There's a really nice cafe too. It is quite pricey (£14 a ticket), but the cinema is half-price on Mondays. Highly recommend.

Great staff, nice and relaxed, nice pie's. Comfortable seats, interesting film titles. Have membership, well worth it. Even left my kindle there, emailed and got response same day. Amazing Thank you again guys Dougal

Прежде всего это исторический кинотеатр. Если интересующий вас фильм идет в зале номер один, то пойти стоит: это большой зал кинотеатра 1911 года. Перед сеансом можно заглянуть в бар на втором этаже или ресторан на первом. Здесь можно выпить кофе или бокал вина, есть здесь не стоит. По вечерам в выходные дни бывает очень многолюдно, лучше купить билеты заранее на сайте.

Así que fuimos a ver a las viudas y en algún momento la pantalla se volvió negra. Ningún miembro del personal hizo nada hasta que algunos de los clientes salieron para quejarse de la culpa. ¡Esto es una completa vergüenza, un cine que no puede reproducir una película! ! ! Así que después de 20 minutos salimos para obtener un reembolso y los cajeros estaban evitando dar un reembolso completo.No puedo creer que un cine que no puede reproducir una película tenga problemas para otorgar un reembolso completo y boletos de cortesía para venir a ver la película gratis, pensé que esto era por supuesto el comportamiento esperado.Ojalá hubiera la opción de dar menos estrellas. . . . . .

I saw someone quite dear to me, who lives in Brixton, and she picked on The Ritzy for a lunchtime meal and drink. The menu was quite strange with oddities such as curried beetroot and more. House white was relatively expensive at £17.50 a bottle, and, for me, the lavatories seemed miles away. However, altogether, it was pleasant enough, and we were there to see Rachael, and not for the food.

If you go to Brixton , spend part of your time in this cafè that offers the possibility to watch movies after a Great Aperol Spritz! Enjoy your summer!

It's nice to combine the place when going to the cinema. Clean, friendly staff but certainly a little overpriced. I had a good time there, but in no way it stands out from other places in Brixton.

Fairly limited menu but pizzas looked good and they have a few different specials, I had a healthy sea bass dish while my friend had some fairly sizeable fishcakes. Option of indoor or outdoor seating

The Ritzy, un cine, y uno de los últimos de su tipo en existencia, ha sido mostrando películas aquí desde 1920. Cómo no ha desechado y no ha sido sustituido por flats pijo o incluso peor, alojamiento para estudiantes, pero supongo que es de todos, me alegro de que allí todavía. Una vez tenía tres cines de Brixton una vez que incluía lo que ahora es llamado el O2 Academy pero todavía es the Ritzy izar la bandera, un bello ejemplo de la arquitectura art deco.

Vi una arruga en el tiempo un domingo por la tarde. No puedo recordar lo que costó. Estuvo bien en todos los sentidos, incluyendo los asientos muy cómodos, el audio lo suficientemente ruidoso, pero no demasiado alto. La próxima vez quizás comer allí también. Es un teatro hermoso, un verdadero valor añadido a Brixton.

The Ritzy is a beautifully ornate cinema which has comfortable seats, beautiful lighting and the temperature when watching a film is perfect (usually I get freezing cold in other cinemas as they tend to blast you with the air con).

Un cine normalillo que lo que tiene de bueno es que no tiene precios tan elevados como algunos otros de más renombre de la ciudad. Además, tiene un pub muy chulo en la parte de arriba.

A fab cinema just needs to pay the staff the london living wage. Some of the screens can get a little cold but Star Wars in screen one was awesome!

Came to see a film while staying in the area. The cinema is lovely and the seats were very comfortable but I did think it was very expensive.

We had a lovely time at Ritzy's, we watched a 3d film. Although the staff was really nice and the cinema was great we found it a bit pricy.

El bar tiene una buena lista de vinos. La comida es imaginativo y el ambiente es genial. Pero estoy descontento volver hasta la disputa de los trabajadores está asentado en su favor. El lugar tiene un rugiente, así que ¿por qué no son de comercio el personal remunerado bastante? Y YO NO PUEDO sentarme y disfrutar de un buen cine art house mientras miembros de sindicatos han sido saqueadas o intimidados. Esto no es exactamente progresiva.

Tried all day to book cinema seats with the app and even the phone not working due to "technical issues". Got to cinema and they are only taking cash, staff barely able to cope with handwriting tickets and counting money. Kitchen closed early so can't review the food. When everything works this is a great cinema with super staff, but their IT seems to be perennially unreliable. Recommendation to management- don't spend any more money on naff adverts for Picturehouse membership, and instead invest in upgrading your IT. (And maybe a pay rise for the staff who frequently go on strike over their pay. )

En honestidad si tienes que gastar luego podrá disfrutar en el lujoso. Pero si estás molesto por pagar múltiplos de lo que en un cine de la cadena para el placer de tomar una cerveza antes de la película, este no es el lugar para ti. Pantallas no están mucho mejor que en el centro de Londres cines, aunque hay unos cuantos films arty en mostrar aquí.

This cinema was built in 1911 and is listed Grade 11.It is one of those small numbers of traditional cinemas in town centres which have survived by luck more than judgment.I enjoyed my visit and hope local people appreciate it.

Me encanta este cine, es local, amable, aunque las palomitas es caro los asientos son cómodos y hay una buena selección de películas. Había un olor a sudor pies ayer sin embargo en pantalla uno, quizás una limpieza profunda está en orden?

Vimos un matinee de 'Get Out' en una tarde de lunes (en marzo 2017). Pagamos 7 libras cada uno. El resto de la semana su aprox. 10 libras. 50 Pero los asientos son increíblemente cómodas y amplias. Nos encantó. No es el más barato, pero...

Paramos para el almuerzo con un amigo. El personal (en general) están distraídos, desatendido, carece de cualquier sentido de casi 'servicio', sonriente, y displicente en sus roles aparentemente insatisfechos.

Mixed bag really. Had the veggie taco for lunch today, which turned out to be mushroom and brie, a few strands of cabbagey stuff, and a dressing - in what seemed more like a tortilla 'open' wrap. Very tasty but was presented badly, and nothing else on the plate to make it look super yum. A salad garnish would've given it some flare, and justified the price too.Tasted better than it looked, but feel it could have done with a few more flourishes to make the experience 'more'.Previous expeditions here have been similar. Had a veggie pizza here before, which was okay, a little dry in places, and again might've been nice to have 'some' salad garnish. But hey, maybe I'm just expecting too much for my money.

Part of the picturehouse group, this more local independent cinema offers an alternative cinema experience. Tailored to adults, the place screens a combination of blockbuster and alternative films. The sears are very comfortable and you can enjoy a glass of wine while you watch the film- the overall experience is so much more enjoyable. I recommend arriving early and having a drink @ the bar. The Ritzy is minutes walk from Brixton Station. Given the location, it is slightly more expensive than the traditional cinema experience.

Recently I went to see Moonlight at the Ritzy. Thje final scene of tyhe film is tender and moving, but even before the credits started rolling, the auditorium lights were slammed up., thus ruining the atmosphertre. Anybody who wanted to leave before the credits finished would be able to see perfectly well by the side lights. I spoke to the manager about it, but he couldn't have cared less, and made it obvious. I was talking to a neighbour about it and she said exactly ther same thing had happened when she saw that film there. The manager then told her the lights in that screen were faulty. Well, they must have been faulty in the screen I was at too, as it was a different one. Perhaps they just want to hurry people out, forgetting that without those people they wouldn't have a job. These managers are more suited to working in a Pound shop. Shame.

It's my local. so would almost be rude not to go.Best deals I think come with membership, which although lapsed now I had for 3/4 years. It gets you free reduced tickets, discount on refreshments at all Picturehouse screenings and a few other places to boot.I've been going to this cinema since college, 3 decades (ahem - don't start working our numbers!) and always loved its central location and great selection of mainstream and indie flicks.You never know which screening room ( 1- 5) you'll end up in, but alone or with friends it's great to stay abreast of new and classic releases it hosts. Sometimes the odd Q&A from talent, producers or contributors (I've seen a few...) adds that extra layer to your trip too.Not always the most economical or choice refreshments available, but Upstairs At The Rity is also good for an unusual night out, if you're about at the right time.They've had their fair share of challenges with wage disputes, boycotts and closure, but essentially they show some good films and no doubt at some point there'll be something for you - too.

Visit the Ritzy regularly to go to the cinema. Much nicer experience than your Vue/Odeon etc, and the cost isn't much different. I have a membership which reduces the cost and gives you discount at a range of places. Tried out the cafe downstairs for brunch the other week and only good things to say about it. Portions are good, cost is reasonable, and no unnecessary fancy bits. One of the better spots around!

I've made reference before that London is a unique place. People spend money. The Ritzy is in a good location and I took my teenage daughter during half term. In total spent £17 for two tickets. It's overpriced as are practically most cinemas.Cannot get into selected theatre in time due to cleaning in progress. Either don't sell popcorn or make a strong announcement about leaving litter

I live in Brixton, so went to the Ritzy for a birthday lunch with my sister. We sat outside because the weather was quite pleasant, however the Pizza's we had were completely tasteless, like eating cardboard. We did complain and were offered a free dessert, a very ordinary chocolate cake type concoction. Very disappointing.

Love this cinema, has a cool independent vibe even though it's a chain. Staff are always friendly and educated about the films they have. Also great popcorn! The bar is great too.

The Ritzy is something of a Brixton institution, and has been going in one form or another for over a century now. It's a lovely cinema showing a mixture of arthouse, independent films as well as more mainstream offerings. It has a restaurant/bar downstairs with a view out over Windrush Square, as well as a bar upstairs which runs various functions. It's an excellent spot to take in a film or just enjoy a drink and a burger in the heart of Brixton.The Ritzy has been disrupted quite seriously over the last couple of years by a long-running industrial dispute over pay. Cineworld, the highly profitable multinational which owns Picturehouse, and by extension the Ritzy, is scandalously refusing to pay it's staff the Living Wage, a mean-spirited piece of corporate vindictiveness which jars with the Ritzy's otherwise justified reputation as an open-minded, progressive cultural hub. The dispute has meant that several opening weekends for blockbuster films have been shut down, and customers have been forced into making a choice between missing their film or crossing a picket-line of low-paid young workers. You can't blame the (otherwise impeccably helpful) staff for this disruption- kicking off over crap wages is entirely justified. Blame lies with the bosses.Sort it out Picturehouse! The Ritzy deserves more than a 3-star review!

Right near Brixton Village and street market, we went for a movie to watch Dr. Strange after having yummy lunch at The Joint and Mama Lan.Love the concession food and snack variety here and ice cream cup choices were awesome. Cinema was clean and comfortable. Definitely recommend to come with family and friends.

Went there with bunch of friends, without fully realising that it is a cinema, bar and restaruant in one. Seats in the cinema are comfortable, bar is good and food in the restaurant nice. Customer service friendly and helpfull.

My husband and I met a friend here for drinks. We didn't realise it was a cinema until we got inside. It was very neat and cosy and full to the brim! But the noise wasn't overbearing as it can sometimes be in intimate spaces like that. We talked comfortably without having to shout. We ordered hot drinks which were good. It was also helpful to have power outlets at our table close to the bar so we could charge our phones.I'd definitely go back - for drinks or to watch a movie.

Compared to Odeon or Cineworld , would wish for the Ritzy to be less expensive. I like the restaurant buzz, but the pricing and the slow service keeps me going some extra miles to the Prince Charles Cinema in Leicester Square.

I went to The Ritzy to watch a film last night. It was super easy to book & choose seats before arrival online. The staff were all super friendly & helpful. It was great to have a drink outside in the bar area first.We saw a film in screen 1. It is a beautifully decorated screen room with very comfortable seating.I will definitely be back for my next film!!Top choice for a cinema in South London.Go!

Great place for anyone looking to avoid the usual mainstream style of Vue & Odeon. Great film choices, nice upstairs bar for pre / post drinks, and guests are treated like adults with beer & wine allowed in the screens. Snacks are pricey, screens are small, but overall a good experience.

Staff here are welcoming, helpful and friendly. There are a range of screen sizes, to suit the wide variety of films shown here. The bar cafe is always busy but serve snacks, meals and drinks at reasonable prices. Popcorn, sweets and crisps as always in cinemas are expensive.

Have visited this gorgeous little cinema so many times over the last couple of years. I must sort out a membership.It's actually such a pleasure to come here after work. The most comfortable seats and unintrusive sound.I have abandoned most other cinemas as of late - uncomfortable seats & I get back ache after a while & the sounds so blasted loud. It gives me a headache. So whenever I want to see a film. The Ritzy is where I head.There's a lovely bar upstairs with friendly staff and a cool terrace. Oh and I must mention the great & helpful staff on tickets. Great service especially Flora. Wish I lived more local. Worth every penny. Thank you Ritzy and see you soon. Remind me to sort out my membership!❤

Ritzy is a geat local cinema and occasional destination cinema as it holds lots of events. Very pleased to have this as my local.

We stopped for a few drinks and a pizza here, before seeing Faithless at Brixton Academy. This is a great venue, lots of character. We have not tried the cinema, but the pizza was great! Very fresh. Drinks were good too, and the place has a good atmosphere. Recommended!

Oh I love screen one for its Art Deco architectural styling.The staff are super friendlyThe beer is strong and the treats bountiful.It is expensive , a bottle of Brixton Ale, natural big bag of sweeties and cinema ticket = £16.40. Though it is s nice treat .I must confess I came half hour before the picture , sat outside with my beer and enjoyed the atmosphere .

Really cool venue, costs about as much as any other cinema going but really nice atmosphere. Go for a drink before outside. It's never really too busy when I've been and it's amazing to sit inside some of the theatres and look at the amazing detail in the architecture. If you get a screening in screen 1, sit at the back. Can see the whole thing really clearly!

Fuimos con unos amigos que residen en West Dulwich al bar, donde había música en vivo. Muy buen ambiente. Tragos diversos, normales. Cuenta con una terraza abierta, desde donde también puedes observar el show y conversar sin incomodar, ni que te incomoden.

This is a great little independent cinema and not being part of the major chains definitely has its benefits.Staff are extremely friendly and helpful. The attached bar is brilliant and does some half decent food. Transport links are good being just a minute or so walk from Brixton station. So there really is no excuse for not paying a visit.The screens are not top of the range, but are decent enough for all but the extreme film critic. Seats are reasonably comfortable, but some screens have no cup holders and I don't think there are any upgrade seats available.Unfortunately this cinema does attract patrons who like to talk through the movies. I have visited The Riitzy twice and both times I've missed a lot of the movie due to chatting or phone users. So my only criticism would be that this is not policed enough. On the whole though The Ritzy is well worth a visit.

Picture House is a small chain of cinemas mainly based in London and the Ritzy is one of their flagship theatres. Many of their theatres are renovated turn of the century cinemas and this is one of the finest examples of that.There aren't many places this beautiful that you can watch a film on the big screen. There program is quite idiosyncratic, putting on films you couldn't see in anywhere else, from new Indy releases, to old classics. Showing are a little more expensive then your adverse big chain, but I feel you're paying to keep an old fashion idea of cinema alive and I think it's worth it.But the Ritzy is not only a cinema, it's also a bar, cafe and music venue. It's a great place to see some local talent perform, eat some of the tasty food they have on offer, or just chill al fresco with a drink and watch Brixton go by in Windrush square in front of the cinema.There really isn't a better place to catch a film in south London.

I love living near the Ritzy, it makes a big difference seeing a film here than in another endless, soulless maze of an Odeon. For those complaining here about high ticket prices, they're much cheaper on weeknights and off peak times. Weekend tickets are around £12, but you can see a film on a weeknight for a very decent £7. The screen rooms are large, well laid out and comfortable and the food and drink is good. The staff are also all pretty friendly. Looking forward to my next visit!

As you all know, my daughter loved the Eton mess . So, on her birthday weekend we boldly went..... only to be terribly disappointed . Only after mentioning an Eton mess and ordering a fillet steak club etc, were we informed that they no longer did the glorious delicacy. . What is wrong with these people? ??? Not rhetoric. You have disappointed my daughter. I will not forgive you. Go back to the easy way of life. Don't strive for indivuality or perfection. Take the easy route. Ritz,I no longer respect you.

I really like this cinema, I live in Kennington so it's convenient and it's a comfortable theatre to watch a movie. They do a really good student offer, I think it's £15 for membership, but with that you get 2 free cinema tickets (worth £22 alone) plus other perks. The downside is that the tickets from that point are £11 even with student discount, which is easily the most I have ever paid to go to the cinema, but hey I am from the North. I do really like the cinema however, and will continue to chose here over the surrounding multiplexes, which are not much cheaper, so you get a better experience at the Ritzy. Plus, the staff have always been super friendly!

The Ritzy shows a great selection of films but is overpriced on drinks and snacks which is a shame as its a nice hangout. Also gets a bit frustrating as service buying tickets is very slow...

Nous étions à l'étage (il me semble qu'il y a plusieurs "bars") mais ce n'est pas forcément l'endroit de Londres que j'affectionne le plus mais pour y boire un verre c'est sympa

We came here to watch a film the other week and had a really enjoyable experience.The individual screen rooms are huge with plenty of seats. This is quite different to other cinemas, and probably a more efficient way of showing films. The seats were extremely comfortable, although quite a few people arrived late and the uninterrupted seating rows means everyone on a row has to stand up in order to let someone "in".The independent nature of Ritzy means a mix of mainstream, independent and world cinema films are shown, and there is a commitment to social sustainability too with local events regularly held.Plenty of food, snacks and drinks available for purchase inside, and with a bar and music venue Ritzy just isn't a cinema either.A great location too; very close to Brixton tube and train stations, and bus stops for all the buses that pass through.One issue I have here is the extreme leftist views/posters that adjourn the walls in the live-music area, which come across as being neo-liberalist.

Located conveniently close to both tube and bus stops the Ritzy Brixton is the 'go to' place for a nostalgic trip down the memory lane of cinema.The Ritzy opened in 1911 and despite several changes of ownership, surviving WW2 bombs and numerous re-decorations it remains an iconic land mark in Brixtons landscape. Today you will find large comfy seats in which to enjoy your chosen film, a café selling refreshments and homemade cakes, reasonably priced tickets for the latest releases and knowledgeable friendly staff.I didn't see it ,but Im told there is also a live music venue upstairs. If only all cinemas were like the Ritzy.....

I have mixed feelings about this cinema. On the whole I like it, but there are some annoyances - There always seems to be a long queue, often out into the street. Not a problem if you already have your tickets/don't need to collect 3D glasses or buy popcorn. I don't understand why they don't sell popcorn/3D glasses at the drinks bar?I don't like the toilets. In the gents, because of where the cubicles are placed, you can see right into the cubicle down the side of the cubicle door. They need to make it so that you can close the cubicle doors more tightly.Also, the advert for the picture house cinema chain seems to promote the idea that the cinema is a place to watch a film and have a chat. It isn't! It's a place to watch a film and sit in silence!

Forget massive central London cinemas. Try the Ritzy. Great south London cinema offering the cosmopolitan and the cosy. Mixture of mainstream, world cinema and art house films in comfortable surroundings. It's been around for over 100 years - check out its history online. The glory piece is the fabulous screen one, a huge ornate room housing the cinema's largest screen. Try to go to a film in the screen, simply wonderful. You can take a glass of wine in with you if you wish. Upstairs bar at the ritzy also has regular music and performance nights and there is another bar/restaurant on the ground floor, and for summer you can sit outside in the sun and watch the bustling, and sometimes crazy, Brixton life go by.

This is in a good location, but is very, very overpriced. It charges about the same, if not more as central London! Would not go here again for a film. People seemed to enjoy the food, so that might be ok!

Terrible London day so we retreated to the Ritzy. We were attracted by the great selection of movies. We enjoyed a lovely glass of wine before heading into the small, boutique theatre to watch a wonderful arthouse movie. Sure beats getting wet feet on a wet day.

Just came back from watching a film at the Ritzy. Had a good evening. Nice cinema and decor is nice. Just a little over pricey. £12.60 per person Service was good!

Thanks to great cinema's this place has a great potential to fill your afternoon: lovely pub food, drinks on the terrace and cinema....lovely afternoon!

Good atmosphere, decent prices, sometimes takes a while when it's busy but that's to be expected. I'd go back!

I'm unable to review the food but went here to watch a film. It is a retro cinema and one of my favourite in London. The seats are super comfy and it is a great venue. If you go on a Monday the tickets are pretty cheap too.

Stopped for a business lunch one afternoon. Lovely artisan type food. Not a massive choice but what they did have was well made and delicious. The chocolate tart was to die for. So decadent. I had a salad which was amazing. Massive portions too.

A great place to catch a matinee and have the place to yourself!Cheaper tickets during the day, and usually quiet for a solo matinee if you get the day off from work. Comfy seats and nice cosy theatres.

Love movies and locationBut now picturehouse has taken over its lost its soulThe internet booking is a joke! And it's been poor for months...chronic mismanagementMeaning you have to queue for ages to get tickets on busy weekend...so sad for staff,,

We sat outside The Ritzy a few weeks back having drinks in the sun.It felt strange to me as we were on the edge of a main road having said that it was really busy, buzzing & lively. I enjoyed the atmosphere and it was a fun place to hang out.There have been a few comments bout drinks prices but I don't remember it being overly expensive although we were on vodka/sodas...my friend also had a burger and sweet potato chips and it looked pretty good and again I don't remember it being overly priced.Helpful hint: give it a go it's something different, it has a great history so is worth a visit, sit outside if it's sunny!

O local é um cinema que no último andar tem um bar muito agradável e no dia que fui estava rolando uma banda ao vivo. Tem uma varanda que torna ainda mais especial. É pequeno e aconchegante com a vista para rua.

The food is overpriced, sure, but this place is instrumental in the long-overdue gentrification of Brixton. It's nice to watch a film in boutique comfort whilst sipping a Rekorderlig cider, so I give this very popular place two thumbs up. I recommend booking online for the more popular shows, though. The queues in here can be ridiculous.

Ce superbe établissement qui est à la base un cinéma propose également des formules breakfast assez sympa..prix abordable ...

Bought two drinks before a film tonight, a 175 glass of Malbec and a pint of ale. The price was outrageous, £6.10 for the wine and £4.60 for the beer. I have never been charged these prices anywhere in London, and I will not be buying drinks in the Ritzy bar ever again. I told the person who served me that it was very expensive and she appeared to nod in agreement. Shame this is such a rip off, because the cinema is good.

I have been to the Ritzy for coffee and to watch films on numerous occasions. However, after experiencing their brunch I feel compelled to write a review. I had Portobello mushroom and poached eggs on sourdough toast. This cost £6. The ‘toast’ was two tiny bits of bread and the mushroom was not Portobello but regular, cheap mushrooms. Although frustrating, the reason for my complaint was the overcooked poached eggs. So I sent it back and also complained that I had the wrong type of mushroom. My brunch came back with soft poached eggs, but still with the cheap mushrooms. I noticed other people who had ordered the same as me also had the cheap mushrooms. If they were out of stock of Portobello they should really let customers know in advance, or reduce the cost appropriately. My friend had the full English, but requested extra eggs as she didn’t want the meat. The extra egg didn’t come, the one she had was over-fried, beans were swimming in runny tomato sauce, hash browns were overcooked and the tomatoes barely cooked. Also had two tiny bits of sour dough bread. All that for the bargain price of £8.My other friend had the sausage sandwich which was the only decent looking thing on our table. No complaints here, but nothing to write home about either. Still pretty dear at £5.We complained again at the end of the meal and got two free coffees but the staff weren’t really apologetic. I got the impression complaints were commonplace.I should stress that they were not even busy so it must be even worse when they are. We were hungover too – so not feeling particularly fussy! This café is trying to be pretentious with its brunch offerings but all they’ve achieved is overpriced, bland, badly cooked food. A shame because it’s a nice spot to chat with friends and the cinema is good. Avoid and eat in the market instead.

I cannot review the food but the overall feel of the place is retro, and looked like it has alot to offer for an enjoyable night out.Went to the cinema enjoyed the experience, would re visit again for the retro vibe!

Went in there last night to eat before catching a film. We both ordered the burger. I must say it was one of the worst burgers I've ever had. The meat was bone dry and overcooked, the bun was burnt to a crisp and the chips accompanying the meal were undercooked. Will not be eating in there again. When your paying £11 for a burger you really expect better. Would've been better off going to Macdonalds over the road.

I love the Ritzy. it's my local. A great place, with a fantastic terrace to watch the world go by; a wonderful cinema and a good vibe – and great value Even better if you are a member, and get all the discounts. But the food and service is hugely inconsistent. Sometimes the service is wonderful, personal, great people that just go above and beyond. But then sometimes different staff are simply rude, and will leave you waiting forever before even acknowledging that you want to order something. I think it's a management problem, because as i say, some of the staff are wonderful. The menu has changed since the end of summer, and the food just does not seem to have the same high quality ingredients, but lets hope that changes back again. Overall this is a great place, but just make sure you pick the right food and right member of staff to serve you!

Come here for the cinema which is always great or the bar which is fairly standard but pretty good.The food however is terrible. I had the burger and my other half had the goats cheese ciabatta; both were awful. To be fair though, they were pretty cheap. But with so many good options for dinner in Brixton offering the same value but at a much higher quality, there is little need to come here unless you're in a rush before seeing something at the cinema

I always love the atmosphere in Brixton due to the eclectic mix of people and sounds, therefore The Ritzy is placed in an ideal location to watch and enjoy the hustle and bustle of local life. The Ritzy has two sections, the cinema and eaterie. We were in the eaterie which has seats in and outside. We enjoyed several glasses of wine on a beautiful August evening whilst taking in the atmosphere and ambience. The staff were very polite and helpful and serice was good. To be honest, I could have stayed there for hours. I recommend The Ritzy as an alternative to other well known drinking venues and areas. You will not be disappointed.

The The Ritzy cinema Brixton opposite Lambeth Town Hall is a real asset to the area. With five screens it can always show a wide range of films, from the latest Hollywood blockbuster tointeresting foreign "art house" fims.Ticket prices are much lower than in West End and the atmosphere very much better than a commercial multi screen. The cafe within the cinema is also very popular, with friendly staff and a range of light meals. There is plenty of outdoor seating. A good place to eat when going to see a film.

This is just brilliant, you can get cheap tickets, the bar is great, the food is great - though it's annoying if you order breakfast 5 mins before cut off time and they refuse to serve you either breakfast (because they've run out of food) or lunch (because they've closed the ktichen).... However the brilliance of the cinema means they still get 5 stars
