The Cube
Independent cinema which also hosts regular gigs and music.
The Cube is a real asset to Bristol, an independent cinema run by volunteers with original programming. In addition to films and live music the 105 seat cinema is also used for workshops and discussions.
In essence The Cube shows the films you actually want to see, avoiding pure 'arthouse' programming. Expect to find Hollywood's (occasional) decent offerings listed alongside quality foreign and independent films as well as a few cult classics. Wednesday mornings (11am) is BabyCinema where babies are welcome while Wednesday evenings is BlueScreen - a sort of open mic night but for short films.
While often folk or indie based, gig listings for The Cube can really vary. The level of crowd interaction at the Cube can make it a great venue to catch one off shows from electronica producers to experimental artists.

Our recent recommendations for The Cube
Sell out warning! Folk gig of the year!? Reclusive baroque royalty graces the Cube for an incredibly rare and incredibly intimate airing of cult classic psych-tinged gems of the proto-freak-folk canon. Bridget St John is a bucolic icon and a national treasure FFO: Vashti Bunyan, Nick Drake, Nico, Linda Perhacs, Sandy Denny.
Bridget St John + Eva May + Henry Ayling at The Cube.
Sell out warning! Sign us up on concept alone! The Cube turns blue with a new screening series dedicated to queer arthouse filth. Leilah Weinraub’s groundbreaking ‘Shakedown’ celebrates the Black-owned-and-operated LA lesbian strip club of the same name, documented in its early noughties heyday – it’s a gloriously graphic, intimately honest portrait of gay subcultural existence.
GAY SEX TUESDAYS PRESENTS: Shakedown at The Cube.
Leading vocal experimentalist joins forces with fearless DIY percussionist in a boundless collaboration where politics, deep listening and raw physicality collide. Using piano, voice, gong and tapdance, their performance is as precise as it is playful. Their enchanting show at St George’s last year still echoes in our minds … catch the magic on their powerful tape release via TBC Editions as hard evidence!
Maggie Nicols & Dan Johnson w/ Aly Eissa & Chris Cundy at The Cube.
Medieval chamber-prog meets indie-metal in a bizzaro mashup of seriously accomplished modern sludge liturgies. Like Dirty Projectors covering Hildegard von Bingen in an Evil Dead 3 scenario; Extra Life have stumbled upon something unclassifiable and out of time, that somehow makes complete sense. A total revelation FFO: Zs, Horse Lords, Liturgy, These New Puritans, Kayo Dot, Lingua Ignota.
Extra Life at The Cube.
Outsider Americana 4ever! Liquid Library serves up a frantic smush of psych, emo, country and hyperpop from Margate’s Jack Goldstein – think Animal Collective doing heartland rock. Plus Danny Riley’s hypnotic improvised fingerstyle, the baritone talking blues of cosmic South Carolina export Austin Potter, and country-noise absurdism from Christian Rock.
