Sidney & Eden
Atmospheric cocktail bar with an emphasis on live entertainment
The Sidney and Eden's one of Gloucester Road's hidden gems. Further up the road in Bishopston, away from the hustle and bustle, it's craft beer heaven with 20 taps, an amazing wine list, plus weekly comedy in the basement, drag, karaoke, film nights and live music.

Our recent recommendations for Sidney & Eden
Free entry! Gena Rowlands plays a woman slowly unravelling beneath the pressures of marriage, motherhood and social expectation in this masterpiece of domestic horror; her volcanic, career-defining performance is still devastating in its realism 50+ years after its release. A once-seen, never-forgotten portrait of family dysfunction and female subjugation.
The Indie Classics Film Club returns May 27th, in our new slot of the last Wednesday of the month, for a screening of A WOMAN UNDER THE INFLUENCE (1974)!
Free entry! F. Gary Gray’s hip-hop stoner classic Friday unfolds almost entirely on a South Central porch, where Ice Cube and Chris Tucker pass time, trade insults and scramble to repay a $200 debt. A laid-back neighbourhood symphony of drifting smoke, roaming characters and immortal one-liners – the hangout is the plot!
Grindhouse Cinema Club Presents: Friday FREE ENTRY!
Free entry! Nouvelle Vague dark horse Claude Chabrol earned his Hitchcock stripes with elegant bourgeois thrillers caked in icy suspense. His 90s masterwork La Ceremonie is no exception, with the ever-remarkable Isabelle Huppert leading Sandrine Bonnaire to ruthless extremes in a slow-burn of psychological warfare and class tension. Big rec if you thought Parasite wasn’t homoerotic enough!
March’s screening at the Indie Classics Film Club will be LA CEREMONIE, a twisted psychodrama of class tension that builds and builds towards a shocking conclusion.
Free entry! A forgotten early oddity from Danny Boyle: Ewan McGregor and Cameron Diaz play a hostage and captor brought together by celestially engineered Stockholm Syndrome in this surprisingly star-studded romcom meets crime farce. Critics were divided but it’ll scratch all your maximalist 90s cinema itches: ludicrous plotting + a killer alt-rock soundtrack + chain-smoking angels = beautifully nostalgic chaos!
Grindhouse Cinema Club Presents: A Life Less Ordinary FREE ENTRY!
Free entry! What if your thoughts could kill? Head-splitting body horror Scanners is a grisly transmission from David Cronenberg’s early-80’s paranoid sci-fi corporate lab. Fueled by queasy ideas about control, mutation and power, it’s high-tog early work from the master of mutilated pulp cinema.
