The Capitol Cinema

“Stepping into this old movie theatre feels like stepping back in time-in the best way. The vintage charm, classic décor, and cozy atmosphere make it such a special place to watch a film. It’s not just a cinema, it’s an experience. The staff are friendly and welcoming, and everything feels well looked after while still keeping that nostalgic character. The sound and screen quality are surprisingly great, and the seating is comfortable enough to relax and enjoy the show. If you love classic places with personality and history, this theatre is a must-visit. A true local gem that brings back the magic of going to the movies. 🎬✨ Heading back again soon!”

“I asked if I could sit down and have a drink there if I wasn't seeing a movie - she was so lovely and said yes and even gave us some popcorn. It's actually a really nice place to go in between the movies, dimmer lighting, great vibes, very cosy and friendly. *One note (which is on their website) is that due to the buildings location upstairs, it is not wheelchair accessible*”

“The most chilled cinema in Auckland, can't recommend enough. Coming here is the perfect mix of being out for a special occasion while at the same time feeling like its a second home. Grab some dinner at Belly Worship across the road while you are out.”
