Liberty Hot Spot

Cinema was super fun on Saturday!!!! The music, the crowd, the staff, just a general great vibe the entire night.

The space is large enough so I did not feel that typical crowded feeling in a night club, it was awesome!

Birthday Night Out

I saw a tweet about Cinema's group VIP packages so I thought I should call and book one for my birthday. It was actually a great idea. Once our bill came it was a really reasonable split for each person. The service was great - once they found out it was my birthday, they sent over a bottle of champagne!

My only concern (hence the 4-star rating) was that some of my friends had a harder time getting in. We arrived before 11:30, but I had put the stragglers on guest list. The lineup started getting longer after we went in, so I'd advise showing up earlier to avoid the same problems.

A great time at cinema!

I have been to cinema on numerous occasions on a Friday and Saturday nite and have a great time. Fridays seem to draw a more upscale crowd, young professionals and generally good-looking people :) Saturday's are always hype w there house dj that plays amazing music....always a great party and a hot crowd....I found the staff to be very helpful and security as well.....the bar staff are friendly and really cool...I had great service at the VIP bar :) all in all a really fun to re whenever I go and I will continue to bring my friends and have a wicked fun time...as for all the bad reviews, I don't get the bad attitude.....isn't the premise of going out to have a good time!? So many cry babies......lol....drink and be merry xo

So much fun!

Have been to Cinema twice now and absolutely love it! Atmosphere is A one! Will be going back soon!

GOOD VIBES ONLY!!

I had a great time with some friends at cinema last weekend. The bartenders are awesome! Music was good. Just overall good vibes all night. We are planning a digital dreams after party there this weekend! Come out and join us!! :d

Mr.

Had an office party there last week. What a great time! Women everywhere! Drinks flowing! A beauty of night! I will definitely be making another appearance at cinema soon.

Cheers

Mr

Got to give it up for cinema i always have fun when i go there!

LIBERTY VILLAGE HOT SPOT!!

I went to cinema a couple weeks ago for my girlfriends birthday. There were 12 of us girls and we were taken care of at the door and seated in our booth. Bottles came out quickly & the vip bottle service girls were fantastic! They were on the ball with pouring us drinks and getting us anything we needed. The music was really good & it wasn't too crowded… we still had room to dance :d. There's also cheap parking right across the street! Def no complaints! We had an awesome time!!

HOT

Once again cinema made my night! my friends planned a surprise birthday with champagne and cupcakes and the bottler servers helped make it magical. everyone at the door knew it was my birthday and managed to make me feel special from the moment i arrived. on top of everything its a great looking and well dressed crowd.

Awesome Venue!!

I went to cinema last saturday and had an amazing experience. Me and my 3 friends we're went for a night out on the town. Not only was the music a great mix of house, pop, top 40, r&b and reggae, but the crowd was awesome ! The service at the bar was great and the bartender introduced us to some regulars that we ended up hanging out with! I will definitely be back at cinema soon!

Great night!

I went to cinema this past saturday and i was very happy with the service. Getting into the club was quick and easy. Once inside i was blown away by the amazing lights and sound system. Very polite bartenders and great table service. All around good time. Cant wait to go back.

Awesome time

Incredible light show, awesome vibe, good music and hot women everywhere..... What more could u want
100% makin this place my saturday spot

Guest

Love this place!

Great time

I went to cinema for my first time last saturday and i was pleasantly surprised! It was a great time, super fun atmosphere. If you love to dance and unwind cinema is definitely the place for you. Id recommend it to everyone!

-

Friends and i have been to cinema on numerous occasions and have always had a great time. All the staff are very friendly and create a great vibe inside the place. I would recommend cinema to anyone planning a night out.

Wicked vibe

Went out with the boys this weekend, it was my first time at cinema. Free parking which was awesome, got into the club fast, there were pretty girls everywhere! Music was bumpin the dj rocked the dance floor had everyone jamming! Mature good looking crowd, bartenders were quick and very friendly. Overall had a sick night, great vibe in the place and the patio was live!

Ms.

Always have an amazing time at this venue!

Service a+ atmosphere a+

Saturdays are boss!

Birthday with the girl

Celebrated my gfs birthday this past weekend. There are no complaints from any of my girls. Bar service was great and super quick to get into. Well be heading back this weekend! Loved it!

Great Night!

Went to cinema last saturday! Great fun. Service and atmosphere was a-one. Will be going back soon.

sick night

Wow! Went to cinema for my third time now for the easter long weekend saturday. As we made our way down king street it was a dead zone. As soon as we got into liberty village we knew the night was going to go off.
My group was greteed at the front door by a host who was there to assist us with the bottle service (best packages and prices in town)
Once inside they had an amazing dj and a lighting system like no other.
The bottle service girl took great care of us and had everything replenished before we even ran out.
Defiantly recommend especially for bottles

Thanks again guys

Great experience. So much fun!

I went to cinema on saturday for a get together with some girlfriends. We all had an incredible time. We had no issues getting in with the table being booked in advance. All the staff were so helpful and seemed to have a great attitude. Our table server and busser guy kept everything very neat and clean and continued to ask us if we needed anything even after out bottles of vodka were finished. Great work we really appreciated your attitude an glad you had some fun serving our table. My favorite was the comfortably heated outdoor patio. I couldn't be more pleased with our night. We will book again at cinema again.

Cinema

Cinema is a great spot in liberty village in saturdays! Love to go with my girlfriends.

Good time

I have visited cinema for the 4th time now. It's a great space with friendly people and no creeps (for the most part). Ladies are free before 12 which is great! Never had any problems. I would highly recommend going here

NO!

This place is the worst!
And all these so called good comments on here are not from actual club people, they are from the staff that work there to try and pump up the ratings! Worst place ever.

worst place ive ever been to

My first experience at cinema was truely a night i wont forget, brutal djs, rude servers, and not to mention a horiable service at coat check. Never did i think my stuff would get stolen at coat check! The environment was a bunch of catty girls! I expected more from this club, and i wont be ever returning there

Big shit!!!

I am very disapointed!!! I came for techno, it was crap, big shit!!! No atmosphere, no good dj, no good sound system, hurt my hears, crap.... You don't know how to make fun guys... Go to montreal and learn. Not coming back ever!!

LOVE CINEMA!

Cinema is such a good time! Awesome crowd & music! Saturday nights are always a good party with their house dj!! Constantly has everyone on the dance floor. Service is on point. Bottle service girls & bartenders are quick!! Bouncers don't give you trouble. & there's parking literally right across the street. Great vibe overall! I'd definitely recommend cinema to anyone looking for a new hotspot!! :)

Miss

We went to cinema for a friends bday. We preordered one of their special packages which was an amazing deal for 2 bottles of grey goose and champagne. The bill came and the price was just what they said it would be tax and too included. The music was great and there were plenty of fish in the sea for those of us who are single. I would go back to cinema for my bday later this year!

Manager of Operations

Poppin bottles ... Lol we had the best time at cinema. . Beautiful people. . Fantastic music.. Amazing service by stunning bottle service ladie!!! all i can say is the best time ever...

Great time

Great time at cinema on saturday night!

The music was just enough of everything to keep my whole group dancing all night.

We will be going back next weekend for a friends birthday

Ms

Great saturday spot. Never have any problems getting in and it's always a quick process so no standing outside too long. Spacious inside so you're not constantly bumping into people as you move around. Service was exceptional with no hassles. Highly recommend this club!

Amazing Night

Went out for girls night with my friends. As soon as we got to cinema, the staff was just absolutely friendly and very helpful. Security was not a pain in the ass at all, and when we got to the bar, the bar tenders right away were serving us, and making sure that we were having lots of fun. The venue it's self is very nice, the bars look amazing and they have an awesome patio, where you are allowed to smoke and it is heated. Probably the best patio i have ever been to at a club. The music is fantastic, absolutely love the dj and and crowd as well. I will defiantly go back. I would defiantly recommend cinema nightclub for anyone who wants to have an awesome time. Also parking is cheap, it's $5 for the entire night!!!

Liberty village

Cinema is the best saturday night hot spot in liberty village by far. I had my birthday here last wknd and got the grey goose special such a good deal and everyone's cover was included. Everyone loved it and the smoking patio is covered with heaters so it's cozy outside. highly recommended as a saturday night hot spot in toronto in the king west area.

Jake J

Love this venue! went here for my brothers bachelor party last month and had a terrific time. great service and they do an awesome job of keeping the riff raff outside. coming back next saturday for my girlfriends birthday!

ASSAULTED !!! BEWARE !!!

Attention everyone, i am writing this comment to advise all of the worst night of my life. My husband and i were brutally assaulted by the bouncers of this club. Attacked for no apparent reason as we were leaving. i am disgusted and appalled and i warn all not to attended this club if you cherish your life. i am 28 yr old mother and wife and i don't go clubbing. I searched a club that i could celebrate my husbands and bf's bd where i could attend with avoiding all adolescent behavior and any sort of confrontation that may occur. Sadly to say quite the opposite happened!! This club is far from classy and far from a club for young and intelligent professionals. I am truly disgusted!! it will not last long. Stay far away!!! and please pass this message on, as it's only a matter of time that this will happen again to other innocent victims.

HORRIBLE PLACE!

I had the worst night out at this venue! The head door guy told me to either give him $50 or my friends and i wouldn't get in! We were in line for 30 mins in the cold. Worst part is that the club was empty when we got inside! The bartenders provided zero customer service. They stood around talking to each other and left customers waiting to be served!

Mr

Not worth it!
Entry to this club is supposed to be free before 10.30 pm if you're on the guestlist.
The girl working the door apparently had never heard about this until my friend had to remind her that this was posted on their website.

Only some of my friends got in free.
My friends who didn't get in free had to pay $20 not the reduced cover as advertised.

The girl at the door tried to make me pay twice. I paid here and went to the atm in the corner for like 5 mins then she asks me to pay again. Club seems to be highly catered toward bottle service. A lot of booths in the middle of the club which were empty.

At about 12 we just couldn't take it anymore any left. Not a good way to start my birthday.

club anygood

Is cinema night club any good? I been to muzik night club it was the worst club i been to. Everyone one pushing and shoving a fight actually ended up breaking out bouncers doing nothing. Everyone trying to pretend they are high society and massive guy and girl issues.

Birthday Night Out

I saw a tweet about Cinema's group VIP packages so I thought I should call and book one for my birthday. It was actually a great idea.

The space is large enough so I did not feel that typical crowded feeling in a night club, it was awesome!

What a night...

Cinema in one word. EPIC

Still feeling the effects from an insane night on Saturday. So many hot girls and they were actually without the typical Toronto attitude for once.

Going back this Saturday!!!!

Incredible Experience

Went to Cinema this past Saturday after calling the club and putting us on guest list. Was told to arrive before 11.30pm and good thing we did because the place got jammed and fast...

Music was incredible... Perfect mix of every genre! Definitely going back and booking a VIP table next time.

You guys are fucking idiots. This club has a track record of treating their paying customers like shit (read the reviews!)

If all of their customers were as ignorant as the two of you it wouldn't be a problem for them, but thankfully the vast majority of us don't have our heads up our ass.

Any kind of discrimination will not be tolerated - and I urge those who are as outraged as I am by this to spread the word & hopefully this piece of shit place will finally shut its doors.

Stop being a hater

Please.

He didnt get kicked out for being gay. Toronto is the most accepting city of homosexuals. The guys probably wearing a fairy costume and the club has a dress code and an image to keep. Thats why he got kicked out.

Just because your night sucked and you werent wearing presentable attire doesnt mean you have to bad mouth a great club and detere people from going.

This club is the shit. Its brand new, they play the best music and I would definately reccommend it!

Stop being a hater.

SHUT UP !!!!!

Hey like you've said. Clubs in Toronto are a dime a dozen, so you don't like it, go elsewhere. I've heard of people playing the race card, but the fag card ? Really ? Get a life !!!!

Homophobic?

I heard that this club turned away some people for being gay. Are you fucking kidding me? I will write bad reviews for this place everywhere. You can't be homophobic in this day and age because the LAW has officially said that is DISCRIMINATION and that is NOT acceptable. HELLO. Fucking people these days. There is literally not a single fucking reason to discriminate against someone because of their sexuality.

You're all idiots if you think that's okay. I rate this place a 0.

easy come, easy go

nightclubs in Toronto are a dime a dozen, and word of mouth can have a huge impact. i'm not sure who was responsible for kicking out someone because they were gay, but it's traveling like wildfire. it's unbelievable that anywhere in Toronto would have the audacity to discriminate against someone like this. let's be honest...everyone has one gay friend/relative/aquaintence...so you have to know how stupid a move this is. if the owners of this club don't support homosexuality, they should leave their pathetic personal opinions at home and be professional. and if this was solely the decision of one bouncer, then as management you really need to get rid of this person immediately. it's 2013. there is no excuse for this. ever.

THIS PLACE IS A JOKE.

this place is a joke and I haven't even been. You will never find me In this club, EVER. Fuck you to all the bouncers for thinking your doing your job right, just remember your not cops. You are nothing to any of us but a fat pig in a uniform. This club is waste. See you in court

garbage

Heard this spot is kickin ppl out for being gay thats like kickin me out for being black and that wouldnt be goid for anybody

Terrible club values

Kicked my buddy out for being gay.
unacceptable.

So lets see how many people notice the reviews being reposted by managment

Okay so I just read the reviews and I'm kinda wondering how people are even critizing... I've been to Cinema 4 times now. Granted there are some things that didnt impress me to much, such as the front door guys.. not so organized but i had patience because i looked at the bigger picture. When i was standing in line i was shoved left right and centre, i got more frustated at the people beside me, kinda felt bad for the guys trying to deal with everyone..the only other place ive gone to with that many people out front is GUV and i freakin hate that place with a passion.. sweaty people sweating on you..getting bakk on topic.. that was basically the only problem i encountered.. I've only gone on saturday so cant comment about fridays, but i always have an awesome time.. did bottle service once for my cousins bday.. BOMB! like the girll.....cant remember her name, she was awesome, seemed like we didnt have to ask her for anything. and to be honest we trashed that table and she was always right there cleaning... so sorry people i have to say best service i've ever had in toronto. PLUS she was HOTTT! The music always sickkkk, the crowd.. ive encountered some every drunken people dancing into me.. that about it... eww and there is this one weird old man ive seen there twice now... haha but hes pretty funny to watch.. CONCLUSION: Cinema is pretty awesome people..

COOL STORY BROOOOOOOO

:)

Dress code?

This place is a joke

Joke

This place is a joke. Bouncer threatened to choke me for going the wrong way out of the washroom.

I despise this place and agree with every bad review on here.

Management - if you read these: GO FUCK YOURSELVES

Worst club I have ever been to (and I'm 32)

This place is awful - rude staff, unpleasant atmosphere. Spend your money somewhere else. This place will be out of business soon anyways at the rate they're going.

Just plain awful, top to bottom.

Fake reviews

If you notice all they rave reviews that cinema has recieved, look at the dates of these reviews. All the good reviews were done around the same day.
Many people should know that management companies get friends or themselves to write bogus short reviews especially around their busiest events of the year.

Shame

very poor service

I went to Cinema nightclub this past Saturday for my bachelorette and had a terrible experience. I do not recommend going there. I had a group of 20 girls going. We spoke with Cinema prior to the event in regards to all the details of the night including bottle service and entry. Overall it was a whole load of false promises and they did not come through on any of them. We still did our bottle service and made the most of the night but they definately put a damper on it from the start. The bouncers outside were very rude and arrogant. The manager acted like his hands were tied and couldnt do anything to rectify the situation. My best friend spent more of the night waiting around to talk to someone then she did having fun. Their bottle service set up is terrible. The table in the middle is too small to hold the actual bottles, the waitress put them on the side of the booth resulting in the booth beside us "mixing up" their absolute with our grey groose and pouring quite a lot of our bottle into their drinks. All the waitress said was "it didnt look like they took too much" and moved on. No one took any ownership to rectify any situation throughout the night. I really could have brushed off something here or there but the overall experience with cinema was terrible from beginning to end. Definately will not return.

Glowing dildos

LOOOOVE it they changed the pics lololololol, dont you hide all those dudes playing with dldos

HUH

look at the pics- they wont lie!! Theres either indians asians or white gay guys holding glow dildos! its a gross crowd and not for me! wont go back

Stop complaining

I read the below reviews about a fight that kicked off right at the end and can’t help but think its exaggerated and coming from some bullshit angle.

- The fight was not between gangs it actually started out between one white dude and black dude and escalated from there, and it broke out in the area of the club where both groups were standing all night
- Did not see anyone frantically scramble out of the way getting cut in the process, anyone who was not involved in the fight simply moved out the way which is common sense and anyone who got hit was stupid enough to either stand and watch or get involved
- There were plenty of cabs outside as some of my friends caught them without hassle and also the Ossington bus was further down the street coming every 20 minutes. A fight does not stop cabbies from earning a living!
- If you had been standing outside for an hour then got a lift with guys who needed to go hospital then I wonder why were those guys not rushing to the hospital a lot sooner or did they too try and wait for a cab in the cold, forgetting they drove to the club
- Not sure how jewelry would get stolen if hiding underneath a booth but again doubt during a fight people think about stealing
- The males did not steal bottles they actually reached over to grab glasses to throw and it was only one guy who did that
- Also only a fool waits to buy their tickets at the door on new year’s when they were still available online for much cheaper
- After the fight we had no problem hanging around finishing our drinks then going to get our coats from coat check although anything that happened outside I did not see so can’t comment except I did not see any ambulances just police by the time I did go outside

So that’s my view and I saw the incident better than most.

Also the fight happened simply because too many ghetto types black guys were allowed to congregate in the one part of the club and do their usual bullshit behavior of intimidating the crowd around them and trying to take over the bar area. I know because I continued to use that bar regardless. Not a racist view but this fight would not have happened if they were not allowed in especially since most were not dressed to normal club standards.

Okay so onto the club and new year’s event night, it was great me and my group of friends had a great time. The staff were super the music was good and as always the Cinema did not disappoint. The girls working looked amazing in their outfit and makeup and they were all smiles. The club was also not as busy as expected, the Halloween event was much busier to the point it was hard to move around.

The fact that the fight happened right at the end of the night was a big bonus as it would have screwed up the night if it happened earlier. However I don’t let the actions of a few retarded people bother me or ruin my night and I would still class Cinema as one of the best clubs in Toronto.

Good night.....

NYE - Not impressed at all

It was a good night until those fights broke off...It was obvious the club lacks of a good security... They didnt know how to handle the crowd and they were rude and disrespectful with the people who got hurt. I witnessed it .. I am certainly not coming to a place that I dont feel secured nor respected.

WTF

I decided to check out the reviews about this club, as I was there on NYE. I was not impressed at all with this club on that night. I also saw alot of commotion going on and blood on the floor upstairs. I would have to say all it takes is one bad episode to shut down a club like this. I am not sure why people would want to fight on NYE or what it was regarding but knowing how certain occasions can be they need to step up their security. I have been to this club many times before when it was a different name and never saw any difficulties like this before. I do see how it has changed and not for the better.
I am not saying every night is like this, but people are paying money for a good safe night. I have been a bouncer before and I witnessed a pretty dangerous end to what is supposed to be a good time.
Sorry to the buddy below I was reading all these reviews but all it takes is one bad incident like that to ruin the name and place, and if it can happen one time I wouldn't want any of my friends or family going to such a bar after this.
maybe the choice of ghetto was used out of anger, but to the buddy below, if it was your girlfriend or boyfriend hurt im sure you would be choosing different words yourself!

Still a good club

Last two reviews written by the same smart ass no doubt so shut your noise with your ghetto wording.
I agree Cinema need to maintain their usual high standards but being that people buy tickets for new years it would be harsh to turn people away at the door. Also I do not see this turning into a ‘ghetto’ club because of one night.
The doormen were not up to scratch on this occasion, forgot to mention that earlier as did see one just walk away from the carnage while others tried to break it up.
To the person below, please do take the video to higher authorities and take some grammar lessons while you are on the way, the whole point of this site is to review the club as a whole not because of one fight. Unless you were somehow involved or had some idiot boyfriend who got beat up. Again refer to my earlier note about only people who get beat up are those involved.

horrible

We decided to go here because they had a dress code in effect and we were expecting a better class of people. This however was not how it turned out. Lots of ghetto types in running shoes.Security and management were terrible. I saw one man get kicked out after being randomly attacked by one of these ghetto types and the mans head was split open. There was no ambulance outside waiting and they expected him to wait in the street. What if someone came back to finish him off? I don't reccommend this place to anyone except ghetto trash who want to run around loose like animals with no supervision.

worst handled club and management

pathetic place NYE worst time. This club should r charged on multiple accounts. if they know what type of getto place this can turn into hire
more bouncers with balls. i have never seen such a ridiculous club before. Who is letting the ghetto into liberty village go trash ur own area.
as for the idiots comment below, firstly peopletry to get out of the way but when u have an irate ignorant person in a rage thu will fight anything. i saw one person of color race by pushing grls and start a fight with a random giy for no reason. so think before u write ur comments i was sober the whole night and have some on video which will be taken to higher authorities!
this club used to be maros and u did not see such things but then again it was a more mature clientele and ghetto people were not there so this goes to show u class and classless types of races.

Good night just a small few pricks

nye

i was there on new and it waas a great time... so much fun, best place to ring in 2013

New Years Eve

I would just like to start off by saying that I have never before written a letter to complain about my experience anywhere but I feel that this time it can not be overlooked. Of course going to a club is rarely perfect and without hiccup but there were so many mistakes made on January 31st by the management at Cinema Nightclub.

First and foremost, 3 separate fights broke out in the club almost simultaneously at approximately 1:20am. These were not the usual club brawls that I'm sure everyone has seen before, they were more comparable to gang fights. Guys were being drop kicked, smashed over the head with bottles, and girls were throwing their glass cups out onto the innocent crowd of bystanders. Shards of glass got stuck in several peoples hands and feet as they tried frantically to scramble out of the club. Two males were seen stealing bottles of alcohol from the bar. Many were bleeding as they were mercilessly beat and kicked while on the ground. Even those who were of no relation to those involved were grabbed and attacked. A knife was pulled inside the club and someone was stabbed. My 2 girl friends and I hid under one of the empty booths until it was safe to run to an exit. We were afraid to even make eye contact with anyone.

This is when the real disturbing part of the evening begins. Security at the club had thrown some of the belligerent individuals onto the street and from the window at the exit I watched as a man picked up a metal divider and beat another man and his girlfriend with it in the street to the point of unconsciousness as bouncers stood by idle. They had to be taken away on stretchers. At this point the few girls who were waiting at the door attempted to close it and remain safe inside. This is when a bouncer started screaming 2 inches from our faces to get out of the club and onto the street where the incident was unraveling. The cops had yet to arrive on the scene. My 2 friends and I were forced to stand on the street in danger to try and hail a cab. NOT ONE CAB stopped to pick anyone up for fear of the messy fight scene and sped past us. When I went back to the door to see if I could call a cab from inside I was turned away. We stood on the street for over an hour along with several others trying to stop cabs, call cabs, or walk to the nearest public transportation. After speaking with the cops and some of the cinema staff we realized that there was going to be no way to get home from where we were without having to walk 3 blocks. We were forced to accept a ride from strangers just to get home. They dropped us off in kindness on their way to the hospital because the fight had caused 2 of them to have several wounds incuding contusions, burst eye vessels, and broken teeth! The bumps on their head were the size of tangerines. I also had jewelry stolen from my purse in all the commotion. I am missing a pair of Swarovski hoop earrings that I placed in my purse earlier in the night so hat they wouldn't get lost. I am now writing this email extremely ill with the flu and stuck at home from getting sick standing for hours in the cold.

This whole experience could have been avoided if the bouncers and security knew how to handle a situation and break it up inside before it had to escalate to this point. I am extremely disappointed that I wasted $60 dollars to be berated by bouncers, thrown out into the cold, and put in direct danger. In addition, I had called Cinema several times in the preceeding days to find out what the price of tickets would be at the door and was told $40 each time I inquired. My friend also called a few hours before we arrived asking about tickets, if there were any left and how much they were. She was told that they had many tickets left for general admittance costing $40 dollars. We do not like to bring a lot of cash out with us so we were forced to go to an ATM in the building upon arrival to pay the difference. I am extremely disappointed and angry and this experience has definitely deterred me from ever entering this establishment again in the future. Totally classless!

boycott this place

i was just there attending the nye bash and at first fun time and now i am siting in the hospital with my boyfriend an innocent bystander!!!
this place lacks security and class from all staff.
i have never seen such poor management EVEr!!!
i am beyond upset!
a huge fight breaks out and not enough security.
my boyfriend gets hurt on our way trying to leave and the bouncers with no respect try to kick him out when he cant even stand and is bleedin from the back of the head.
the bouncers knew thy were in the wrong because
thy would not even tell us their names.
i am going to do all in my power to have this place shut down . even the cops said this was a ridiculous matter and poor management!
it takes one pathetic incident to do this!
worst club ever!
stop letting in the trash!!

Amazing place!!!

My girlfriends and I went to Cinema last night (Dec 29) honestly I love this place. I've been many times since they opened and I've never had a bad night. I didn't expect anywhere to be busy so close to new years but we wanted to go out anyways. The club wasn't as busy as it normally is on a saturday but there was still a lot of hot guys, and we made friends with the bartender so the night was pretty great. I guess when you're a popular place you get a lot of haters. Personally I've never experienced any problems, even at the door. Will definitely be going back to Cinema soon!!

great night

went to cinema last night dec 29th ; and it was so much fun.. great place to be, great service as well. i would go back again ...

Enema

This place is for guys that are broke but wanna look cool in a CHEESY place, full of loser dudes

Horrible service

So I went to Cinema last night (dec. 22nd) to see what the
Hype was about this club...it SUCKS !!!! At first i thought the name of the club was cool but seriously it was very disappointing. To start what's up with keeping bottle service waiting in a line up. Then we had 2 encounter with 2 very rude bartenders in a space of 45 mins. I never encounter that ever. I am not sure who recruited these people put they should be fired. Next the crowd was not the greatest and people bump into you all over the place. Plus they had to break up 2 fights in a matter of 20 mins no doubt it started because of rude people. Lets put it this way if you want to go to a club with good music, good crowd and good service this is not the club for you. I totally agree with all the bad reviews they nailed it..,definitely not worth $20 I wouldn't go back if they paid me..,

surprised

I heard the hype about Cinema during grandopening but wanted to wait for the hype to die down a little....I scheduled a friends bday dinner there because I liked the idea of a prefix menu that still offers a variety of different foods. The food was great and service was on point.
we decided to wait it out and see what the night would be like....it was such a good vibe we ended up staying all night, it got busy but never to the point where it was too packed and the bartenders were really good because I never waited long for a drink either. We all had a great night and will totally be back again!

AMAZING SERVICE FROM THE DOOR TO THE FLOOR

I have been to many clubs in the city but the experience from Cinema has been nothing but amazing. The doormen are professional and polite and the booth service was refreshing. Music was good and food was great too. Overall an amazing experience which keeps me coming back. Great work Cinema !

LOVE 2 PARTY @ CINEMA

I have been to Cinema numerous times since it has reopened from being Maro. Friday nights have great music, the vibe is awesome. They also started doing a special package with 10 comps and 2 bottles for a really great price, and I took advantage of that! Saturday nights is the best night to go hands down! I recommend it over any other club in Toronto. I always have a great time at Cinema!

A great time at cinema!

I have been to cinema on numerous occasions on a Friday and Saturday nite and have a great time. Fridays seem to draw a more upscale crowd, young professionals and generally good-looking people :) Saturday's are always hype w there house dj that plays amazing music....always a great party and a hot crowd....I found the staff to be very helpful and security as well.....the bar staff are friendly and really cool...I had great service at the VIP bar :) all in all a really fun to re whenever I go and I will continue to bring my friends and have a wicked fun time...as for all the bad reviews, I don't get the bad attitude.....isn't the premise of going out to have a good time!? So many cry babies......lol....drink and be merry xo

PARRTAYYYY

Okay so I just read the reviews and I'm kinda wondering how people are even critizing... I've been to Cinema 4 times now. Granted there are some things that didnt impress me to much, such as the front door guys.. not so organized but i had patience because i looked at the bigger picture. When i was standing in line i was shoved left right and centre, i got more frustated at the people beside me, kinda felt bad for the guys trying to deal with everyone..the only other place ive gone to with that many people out front is GUV and i freakin hate that place with a passion.. sweaty people sweating on you..getting bakk on topic.. that was basically the only problem i encountered.. I've only gone on saturday so cant comment about fridays, but i always have an awesome time.. did bottle service once for my cousins bday.. BOMB! like the girll.....cant remember her name, she was awesome, seemed like we didnt have to ask her for anything. and to be honest we trashed that table and she was always right there cleaning... so sorry people i have to say best service i've ever had in toronto. PLUS she was HOTTT! The music always sickkkk, the crowd.. ive encountered some every drunken people dancing into me.. that about it... eww and there is this one weird old man ive seen there twice now... haha but hes pretty funny to watch.. CONCLUSION: Cinema is pretty awesome people..

Great Club from Start to Finish

I had a great experience at Cinema. I read the reviews of this place and was turned off completely. I tried it out on Friday night. I called and reserved a table no problem, I took advantage of their bottle package, 2 bottles and 10 comps. No issues at the front door they use an IPAD for bottle service, very classy. The place started out slow but quickly filled up. The music was good, a few of my friends wanted some hip-hop but the staff informed me that it was a how night on Fridays and Top 40 on Saturday nights. The crowd was a bit mixed, lotsa ladies and guys, looked pretty balanced, I can't wait to see the party photos of the night. Some of the reviews might be true and they had a bad experience but c'mon a couple 1000 people over the weekend had a great time that you don't hear about cuz they are too hungover and partied out. Thumbs up !! I'll try out a Saturday and give you my review again. Peace!!

love love love it

I have sooooooo much fun every time I'm at CINEMA. The private VIP section is great for me and my friends as well as being able to socialize with everyone on the dance floor!! The patio is beyond amazing because its huge and heated EVERYWHERE!!! which is number one for those freezing winter nights. Also there are TWO BARS outside, so you don't have to worry about running inside and getting a drink. But most importantly they have a very good friendly staff and crowd!! There was a confusion at the door and the doormen were really friendly and solved the problem no hassle, no issues, unlike majority of the the clubs downtown. Id recommend it to anyone who wants to go out enjoy themselves and just let loose. No stress.

Great times

had my birthday at Cinema last saturday.......... the music, crowd, servers were amazing.. will deff go back again!

Dudes everywhere

Went here last night...All i see is dudes everywhere.. sooo lame

Dudes

Sausage fest! all dudes when i went here! Never again will i go! the girls in the pics were there for a photo shoot

CHEESE

Cheese, fromage, formaggio, If u like cheese you,ll love cinema,

Good and then bad!

We went on saturday november 10th it was amazing. Great music, well dressed crowd very nice. We went again on november 24th and it was HORRIBLE. Bar tenders and door people are great however the crowd was not well dressed, very rude and a lot of people were smoking in the club (I'm not a smoker). The DJ didn't play any recent music, and mixed up songs so much you weren't sure what was playing (seriously).

tooo bad

was going to go here, comments changed my mind, had a table of 20 to reserve. ;) Sorry Cinema

Just plain bad

Had bottle service reservations Friday. Table was awful (wasn't a booth), staff did nothing to help.

Bad reviews are accurate. Not a well run place.

Amazing time

I went to cinema on friday for there halloween party, and last night. I had an amazing time the crowd on halloween was a spectacular crowd 75% women, extremely attractive, overall a good looking crowd, no problems, service was amazing, the front door staff was really kind and curtious.

the big tall guy at the front door forget his name was super nice, and polite. overall i had a great time both nights i was there music was amazing. i feel the negative comments are by people who just lack common sense. halloween night is busiest time of the year, and if people even if they have booths decide to show up at the same time, then ur gonna be waiting for awhile. overall i recommed this club to anyone who wants to have a good time!

Miss

Loved this place!! Went on a Friday, alot of very good looking, well dressed ppl. Really good music if you like house I definitely recommend going. The door staff could be a little better (messed up my guestlist) but over all had an amazing time

Shitty club

These "good reviews" are probably written by management.

THIS CLUB SUCKS!!! Shitty management. Shitty bouncers. Shitty atmosphere.

Sher

Had an awesome Halloween here!

Miss

Cinema! Super excited that this club has opened in Liberty! Amazing location and tons of parking available. Definitely beats king st.area clubs! We had bottle service on Friday. They had an amazing halloween special friday and 10 free covers with the package can't beat that! Bottle service was awesome + bottles came quick. Really beautiful club and crowd. 5 stars!! We will be back for sure :)

Piece of shit club

Total waste of time and money. What a shit hole.

lost phone

lol

good for you cram the fag

HOW IS THIS PLACE EVEN STILL UP AND RUNNING!?!?!

Halloween weekend Oct 27 2012.

First of all let me just tell you how I read the reviews before I came here and saw the bad ones and decided to give it a try anyways, and let me tell you how all the bad reviews are TRUE absolutely TRUE!! Me and my group of friends had booked a booth weeks in advance for halloween weekend but when we arrived we waited in the booth line for over 30 minutes, which makes absolutely no sense what so over, we only got 6 free entries yet we were paying over $800.00 for our booth and drinks, when we finally got in after freezing for 45 minutes they take us to our "booth" only to find out that it was not a booth but a table with all our drinks on it. we spoke to 20 different people who claimed they were "managers" but when we wanted something done suddenly they were not managers and they needed to go find someone else. this went on for an hour. We got the run around from these managers, and they honestly thought we were stupid! first they tell us that we should have received an email that stated that booths were not guaranteed...EXCUSE ME??? booths not guarantee when we RESERVED it? how does that work....for all the trouble and a ruined night all they did to "compensate" us was a free bottle. yet by the time we finally gave up and just decided on our horrible table booth all they did for us was a free bottle. So we basically payed $850.00 for a horrible night, bad service, and shitty drinks. I myself work in the service industry and this is not how people should be treated or serviced. this is going to be the first and last time I will ever step foot into this shit hole. and for $850.00 I sure as hell expected 100% better service. I could have gone somewhere else for half the price and gotten way better service. I have been to many clubs on halloween and this by far is the WORST one ever! STAY AWAY FROM THIS CLUB IF YOU DON'T WANT MONEY WASTED AND POURED DOWN THE DRAIN!! This club is a disgrace to the club industry. I have never in my life had such a horrible experience in club, and I for one am not one for writing bad reviews but I felt this is something that needed to be passed on to my fellow clubbers because I don't want anyone else to be wasting money on a club and people there like I did. DO NOT GO HERE, IT IS A WASTE OF TIME AND MONEY!

Halloween Oct 27

We had bottle service for Halloween on Oct 27. Waited in line for over 45 min. Place was disorganized, people working there weren't helpful and were actually quite abrasive and rude.
Agree with all the bad reviews.
Never going back.

What a joke

Forget closing down, I hope this place burns down with the bouncers and management inside.

Worst. Place. Ever.

If you want a terrible night, then you should party here. If you want to have fun, GO SOMEWHERE ELSE!!

WORST. PLACE. EVER.
You've been warned.

Horrible Establishment

Badly managed, rude aggressive bouncers threatening people for no reason. No security.
Seriously, this place is awful, spend your money somewhere else.
I hope it closes down. We will never be going back.

Worst Management and Bouncers

We had tickets for a party and were still in line for over an hour. People with bottle service were in line for 40 minutes. This place is managed poorly. Checking our tickets 3 times by different ppl is not necessary. It was overcrowded I'm sure by fire code. The bartenders are ok but the bouncers and manager have no idea how to manage a club. Worst club I've been to in the city. Weak drinks, disgusting smoking "patio" which is actually an entirely covered space with no ventilation. Staircase is extremely dark and saw 2 girls trip on it. Hope this place closes down or at least changes owners. If I could get no stars I would.

MR

Lost my phone. Please email me at J.baker.conditioning@gmail.com - blackberry bold 9700 (the one everyone has). Lost on saturday night October 27, 2012

BAD MANAGEMENT

MANAGEMENT IS REALLY BAD. NO SECURITY - SO UNSAFE. THEY MAKE PROMISES THEY CAN'T KEEP. BOUNCERS ARE SO RUDE.

HORRIBLE

Horrible service, horrible experience.
First and last time going to this place.

Great Place

I love this place!! great crowd, great atmosphere and the staff was really helpfull getting us through guestlist. I would say 60/40 girls to guys and 25 and older

Mr.

Worst club I've ever been to. We were stupid enough into getting scammed into paying for bottle service in the basement because they promised ys they would move us upstairs in 30 minutes. What a complete joke. Worst experience with a club and management ever. No one knows what they are doing. If you like to get bottle service, avoid this club like the plague.

mr.

This club was truly disappointing.
The crowd was mostly dudes, most of whom were 25 year wannabe jersey shore douchebags decked out in affliction t shirts and true religions jeans.

cinema rain forest

I felt like i was at the rain forest cafe! Put some fake animals and your all set! Very CHEESY crowd as well! lots of greasyness....

Awesome

Very nice place! Upper class

Nice place

I think i like it, was the on friday night and it was a matured crowd and the dj did well but i didnt hear most of the very popular music i know. maybe cos i got there late(1.30am) but in the overall it was a nice place to be.
