Magnums & Movies 2019

Overview

If catching a flick in style is your thing, get ready to plan a night out at Restaurant Hubert. The subterranean CBD restaurant and theatre is bringing back its hit Magnum & Movies series for the rest of the year, transporting Sydneysiders around the globe with film, food and plenty of wine (in magnums, of course).

It'll all take place once a month in Hubert's 120-seat Theatre Royale, to really ramp up the film-meets-dinner vibe. Each evening will feature plenty of popcorn, a buffet dinner and magnums of wine, which will be passed around throughout the night.

While past events have had an Italian theme, this year's group of films is a little more varied. Kicking the series off is a screening of wine-filled comedy Sideways on July 1, which will be paired with a Californian wine country-themed dinner and magnums by Chateau Marechal.

It's followed by Italian-American classic Big Night on August 19. This will be served up with Cantina Giardino magnums and New York-Italian fare — we're expecting a timpano to make an appearance on the menu.

Next, the latest film adaptation of British series The Trip to Spain on September 9, with (obviously) Spanish eats and Comando G magnums and then the series rounds out with cult favourite Goodfellas on October 14, with Torbreck magnums and food mobsters would approve of.

Tickets don't come cheap at $130 per head — but that price includes everything (food, wine, film and popcorn) and it's the kind of decadent Monday evening out you don't get to enjoy every day.
