Schauburg

Probably the best place in Bremen to watch a movie. They offer a wide range of movies, usually somewhere between arthouse and blockbuster. Every Monday they have a sneak preview in english with german subs, which is usually verry crowded, so make sure you get a ticket in advance. In general the movies are dubbed in german but over the last few years they also offer more and more english screenings, with german subtitles (omu). The cinema itself is on the first floor, but you can also sit downstairs for a drink, were they have a few tables. Those belong to the Schauburg, who runs the cafe upstairs, were you can buy the tickets and get to the movie. The cafe opens way before the first screenings, and especially around noon and early afternoon it is a very cozy place for a coffee. Including a nice view. In the evening it might get a bit crowded, because the ticket counter and the bar is located at the end of the stairs and the entrance of both screening rooms. So make sure to be there on time. There is also a small shop to the right of the cinema, were you can buy tickets in advance. They have two screening rooms. A smaller one, which I wouldn't recomend, because its more like a bigger tv and the chairs are all on the same level. The big one on the other hand is very nice. The seats are comfortable and offer enough space for your legs. And even sitting in one of those first rows is still ok. Sound, and screen-wise its maybe not top notch but very good quality.

The most old timey place to watch movies. Every Monday they have a sneak preview of a new movie (usually English). Follow them on Instagram @schauburg to know more. It has an old fashioned Hollywood charm about it. Besides, it's a part of a cafe/bar. Walk on it and be transported back to the previous century.

I honestly think that this is one of the best places in Bremen. Great ambience, a good mix of arthouse and more mainstream movies, and a lot of screenings with original sound. A perfect spot for a cinemaholic. I just wish the stuff wasn’t that rude. During our last visit a cashier guy almost yelled at us with an expression of despise on his face, because we couldn’t hear his question (and the bar can be quite noisy in the evening). Since I am not the only one who is complaining about stuff arrogance, I really hope that the owner will address this issue.

Great festival in a classic movie theater.

Very cool cinima cafe
