ODEON Luxe Durham

You're settling into one of those impossibly comfortable reclining seats with a proper gin and tonic in hand, wondering why every cinema doesn't do it like this. The bar area at ODEON Luxe feels more like a hotel lobby than your typical cinema foyer, all sleek surfaces and mood lighting that makes you want to arrive early just to soak it up. The cocktail menu runs deeper than you'd expect from a chain cinema, and they're not shy about generous pours either. Whether you're grabbing a quick glass of wine before the latest blockbuster or making a proper evening of it with pre-film drinks and interval top-ups, the service is slick enough to get you sorted without missing the trailers. Located right in the heart of Millburngate's riverside development, it's become the grown-up way to do cinema in Durham.
