Dorothy Browns cinema, bar and bookstore

“So lovely here. Packed with anything you’d want for relaxing holiday. Variety selections of books. Well curated movie list. Also snacks and good drinks! The staff also really welcoming.”

“Came across this hidden gem from a sign on the street and very glad we did! Very cute bookshop/bar/cinema! Balcony area extremely relaxing with great views and lots of comfortable places to relax. We were served a small bowl of popcorn with each round of drinks which was a lovely touch! Service was wonderful and we were made to feel very at home here for a few quiet hours and the host was lovely to chat to. We came back a few days later we enjoyed our time here so much and would recommend this place to anyone wanting a quiet respite from the busyness of Arrowtown or Queenstowns bars!”

“Dorothy Browns Cinema is an absolute delight. This quaint little theater, nestled in the heart of Arrowtown, offers a truly unique cinematic experience. With just two screens, it exudes a cozy, intimate atmosphere perfect for a relaxing movie outing. The small bar and inviting reading nook add to the charm. Beyond the cozy ambiance, the staff at Dorothy Browns deserve special mention. Their passion for film and the local area is evident in their engaging conversations. They provided invaluable insights into what to see and do in Arrowtown, making the visit even more enjoyable.”

“A different quieter experience then the traditional adrenaline filled activities. Located up a little alley in Arrowtown is this little boutique theater. Nice to relax in comfy seats and have some chill time. Traditional movie fare on offer along with cheese boards and wine and other alcoholic bevvies to take into the theater. The Den was a lovely small theater with only around 20 seats. Lots of dining options nearby as well to utilize before and after the movies.”
