ODEON Birmingham New Street

You're heading to catch the latest blockbuster and fancy grabbing something before the film starts. The café here does exactly what you'd expect from a multiplex - popcorn, nachos, hot dogs, and the usual array of fizzy drinks and overpriced cinema sweets. It's nothing revolutionary, but when you're rushing between Primark and your 7pm screening, it's perfectly convenient. Being smack bang on New Street means you're surrounded by the chaos of Birmingham's main shopping thoroughfare, but once you're inside, it's all about getting fed before lights dim. The coffee's decent enough if you need a caffeine hit, and they'll sort you with the classic cinema snacks that somehow taste better when you're about to watch a film. Sure, you're paying cinema prices, but that's the trade-off for the convenience of being steps away from the screens.
