The BFI IMAX has a café on the ground floor and a bar on the first floor. There you will find a wide variety of alcohol (spirits, draught beers and alcopops), soft drinks, hot and cold drinks as well as a large selection of snacks (olives, crisps, nuts, flapjacks, muffins...). Inside seating includes leather sofas, and there is outside seating in our new beer garden.

This year we are also able to offer top quality, freshly made food and champagne at all of our opera screenings. Click here for more information.
