Captain_Scarlet Posted July 20, 2005 Share Posted July 20, 2005 Yeh, that'll be UGC at Centertainment Valley. Posh bar is on floor one, sweeties ground floor. 'bout 5 per person for the movie, random offers available at the bar (I think at the mo it's by a small glass of wine get a large free). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neeeeeeeeeek Posted July 20, 2005 Share Posted July 20, 2005 The Showroom cinema near the station is very good. it has a bar and sells food and stuff. It has smaller screens mainly showing independant films so it depends what your after. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HotPhil Posted July 20, 2005 Share Posted July 20, 2005 Head out to UGC at Centertainment which is apparently here Think it's a little over a fiver a ticket, but the seats/screens and sound systems are the best in Sheff. You can book online too at ww.ugccinemas.co.uk. There's a bar in the cinema itself and several in the surrounding facilities. Has it's own tram stop on the yellow line if you both fancy a beer.

Bad_Hair_Day Posted July 20, 2005 Share Posted July 20, 2005 Avoid UCG at Valley Centertainment on Wednesdays unless you've got an Orange mobile phone - it's their 2 for 1 offer and the place is absolutely packed. It's a good deal - 2 adults for just over a fiver, but it's so popular, you have to queue round the foyer for about half an hour to get your tickets. And if you're one of the few full paying customers there on a Wednesday there's no separate queue for you. The bar area also gets overcrowded - we finally gave up waiting for a pint after being stood there for about 15 mins! Not sure if other cinemas are the same on Wednesdays, or just UCG.

Hasn't been like that in while. Ah, I remember the days when Wednesday was busy! Those were the days.....(drifts off into a daydream for half an hour)..... Erm.yeah...back to it all. Other cinemas do the Orange Wednesday too, but as we have the majority of market share, obviously we get hit more. Not sure about the half hour queue though. Having timed it when it looped around and to the door, with only 4 staff on (the usual for a Wed) it took just under 10 mins from the back to the front. It's that temproal anomoly on the second lane that confuses people One option is to arrive early..say 6.30pm. Buy your tickets whilst no-one is around. Then pop off for a meal somewhere, before returning, going to the bar for a few drinks, then your film. Make a night of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was like that 2 weeks ago when we were there - but maybe it was a one off. But yeah, you're right - it would be better to be able to make a night of it like you suggest but not everyone has the time (or money) to fit all that in in one night! Have you got shares in Valley Centertainment ????????!!!!!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
