Felons' Cinema Sessions

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 most 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. In June, watch David Bowie dance magic dance in Labyrinth, then get giggling at 21 Jump Street and spend time with Audrey Hepburn in Breakfast at Tiffany's. July brings replicants in Blade Runner, an otherworldly Patrick Swayze in Ghost and sequel shenanigans with 22 Jump Street.

Come August, The Dark Crystal, Sex and the City and Inception grace the program, while September boasts Roman Holiday, The Secret Life of Walter Mitty, Sonic the Hedgehog and Spy Kids.
