About this space

VENUE OVERVIEW

Golden Age Cinema & Bar is a heritage listed boutique theatrette, nestled in Surry Hills in what was once Sydney's Hollywood Quarter. Originally constructed in 1940 and utilised as the home of Paramount Pictures in Sydney until the 1970s, the theatrette’s patronage changed dramatically over the decades from local exhibitors and film executives to sharp-tongued critics, and welcomed in servicemen and women to view newsreels during World War II.

Since 2013, our David Lynch-inspired venue has been home to an award-winning independent cinema program, live music, film trivia, a seasonal food menu and carefully crafted cocktails. Hire our Cinema & Bar today to experience the elegance and allure of the Golden Age.

THE BAR

Immerse yourself in the dim warm lights, plush velvet curtains, leather seats and mahogany walls of our Old Hollywood bar. Equipped with stage and sound gear, a hidden mirrored stage, skilled bartenders, and curated food and beverage packages, the Golden Age Bar is the perfect backdrop for your brand activations, team celebrations, birthdays and weddings. The Golden Age Bar can host up to 35 guests in a relaxed seating format, or up to 70 guests cocktail style. Make your event truly remarkable in one of Sydney's finest spaces.
