    I didn't know it was under new ownership but that's great news, they have put great investment into the place in recent years and I can't wait to return to them

    https://ennis.arccinema.ie/

    I remember going there once to watch a movie during the day on a Tuesday (was working night shift at the time) and I was the only person in there, the movie was ****e so I was leaving and met the owner on the way out, he was offering my money back and I refused cause it wasn't his fault the movie was ****e, the pop corn and coke was great, he then offered me to test the new release that was coming out that Thursday that he had just gotten the film for. For 3 months of terrible night shift I enjoyed testing the screens.

    I just realize now that that was about 20 years ago, yes I am old

    The cinema in Ennis will still be the scout hall across from the Holy Family where you were dropped off and walked up, acted cool and joined the queue next to whoever you were meeting.

    Thinking back, the late shows on a Friday & Saturday night were a money making racket, I don't think anyone was able to see the screen for various different reasons.

    Best of luck to the new owners, I'm a huge cinema fan and will be back there soon
