Golden Age Cinema and Bar has restored and reinvented the old screening room of the heritage-listed Paramount Pictures building in Surry Hills, Sydney. The bar is open six nights a week and, right next door, our beautiful 1940s cinema will host two screenings a night, with matinees on the weekend. MORE ABOUT THE CINEMA

The former screening room of Paramount House has been carefully renovated by a bewitching collective of architects, interior designers, auteurs and furniture makers. It brings together the past, present and future to create a unique environment for people to watch films, enjoy a drink or host an event. MORE ABOUT THE BAR

No movie ticket? You are always welcome in the bar which is open before, during and after each screening. Tucked away beneath the street, we’ve brought together some of the most interesting producers we could find to cast a great list of quality wines, beers, cocktails and food. The bar also serves cinema snacks and film-inspired food specials to match our cinema program. MORE ABOUT THE PARAMOUNT HOUSE

Paramount House is a cultural, architectural and literal cornerstone of the area of Surry Hills once known as the ‘Hollywood Quarter’. Built in 1940 in a Late Deco style, it shows how elegance can be achieved by focusing on what is essential. Already regarded as a hub for many of Sydney’s creative businesses, the story of Paramount House is only just beginning.
