One of the north coast's most iconic cinemas has been given a new lease of life and is ready to welcome back film lovers and those in search of nostalgia.
The Playhouse Cinema on Main Street Portrush was once a popular destination for locals and holidaymakers alike looking for something to do when the typical NI weather would ruin a sunny day. After a major restoration, project owner Kris Charteris is excited to welcome back the movie magic.
Speaking to Belfast Live, Kris, who also owns Kiwis Brew Bar beside The Playhouse, said there has always been an interest in the old cinema since he began operating the bar. Originally from New Zealand, he has been serving the people of Portrush with craft beer and good craic for over a decade.
