Felons' Cinema Sessions
Brisbane's riverside CBD brewery is improving your Tuesdays with free flicks in its Barrel Hall.
Overview
Here's the exceptional thing about being a movie lover: you're never short on stuff to watch. And, because where you see something can have a big imprint on your viewing experience, you're rarely lacking great places to get your cinema fix. One of Brisbane's favourites: the city's riverside CBD brewery.
On Tuesday nights, thanks to its regular Cinema Sessions, Felons Brewing Co is turning its Barrel Hall into a cinema and showing classic flicks — for free. From 7pm, you can lock your eyes on the big screen and enjoy a movie fave, all without paying a cent. You can also get comfy on a bean bag and reserve your seat at the same time.
Obviously, sipping beers with your movie isn't free unsurprisingly. There'll be cinema snacks on offer as well and, again, you'll need your wallet.
As for the films flickering across the screen, it's a retro lineup. The January 2025 lineup includes Suddenly 30 and Shrek to round out the month, before Dirty Dancing gives you the time of your life to start February — and Pitch Perfect plays in the lead up to Galentine's Day. From then until mid-April, choices include The Wizard of Oz for Wicked fans, Quentin Tarantino's Once Upon a Time in Hollywood, 80s favourite E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial, Dumb and Dumber on April Fool's Day, the OG Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory and Ghostbusters.
