Reviews Summary
Visitors rave about the Rex Cinema's charming, nostalgic atmosphere and comfortable seating, highlighting the unique experience of enjoying a drink during the film. The friendly staff and respectful audience contribute to a peaceful and enjoyable outing, making it a beloved local treasure.
"What an amazing experience. Loved the building, the style, the ambience and the setup. The old fella who made a brief appearance before 🎭 movie to say a few words was excellent too! Having a bar right there is very handy although there could have been a bit more choice but other than that, the lad serving was sound and polite.
Would definitely recommend The Rex. Unfortunately we watched something that wasn't all that but the entire experience was 5*
Thanks and we'll see you again soon!"

"I love this old cinema!
Right in the centre of the town of Berkhamsted.
An old style cinema with tables & chairs at the front by the screen and a huge cinema seating style behind.
The old memorabilia as you enter takes you back to the nostalgia of film.
Cannot wait to go again."
