Here are all the licensed cinemas in Dubai for your next film night
Liquid courage for the next horror film…
We recently said goodbye to the Jebel Ali Recreation Club cinema, which was one of the few licensed cinemas in Dubai that offer a cheeky drink as liquid courage for when you watch a nail-biting action or a jump-scare-inducing horror. Feel free to sip pretty in the dark while you check out some of the latest and greatest that the Hollywood Box Office has to offer.
Here are all the licensed cinemas in Dubai for your next film night.
Paramount Private Cinema
If a movie-inspired hotel didn’t have a screening room, we’d be concerned. The chic Paramount Hotel in Dubai is one of the hotels in Dubai that offers the luxury of renting out a screening room for you to rent out with your nearest and dearest. What’s more – they wouldn’t be on this list if you couldn’t enjoy a nice drink or two while watching the film.

Cinemacity
If you still want to experience a licensed cinema experience. Fear not, as there is still a licensed cinema in Downtown Dubai. To enjoy a drink while you catch the latest blockbusters, you’ll want to head to the exclusive Cinemacity cinema at Address Fountain Views. Cinemacity is a luxe dine-in cinema that has five VIP theatres along with a lounge. Check out the latest films on offer at Cinemacity here.

Studio One
Want a cinema all to yourself? It’s possible at this sleek hotel in Dubai Studio City. A movie can be picked from three different movie library lists: family, crowd-pleaser and action-packed. Included in the Dhs129 per person cost is a soft beverage, a pizza and popcorn. Go fancier and pay Dhs199 for a bottle of wine or four bottles of hops, a pizza, and popcorn. For kids under 12, the Dhs49 ticket includes a soft drink, popcorn, and candy. A minimum of four is needed to book out the screening room, but keep your limit to 12 as social distancing rules are in place.
