Vpremium Cinemas

Published by

Vpremium is the latest cinema concept to launch in Australia and if you love going to the movies as much as we do, you’re in for a treat.

The larger coupled, leather seats are the perfect size for a date night or an extra cosy mate night, and come complete with arm rest, drink holder and table – No more awkward knocking over of drinks onto your movie date!

To top off your movie date order a hot meal to eat in the cinema while watching the latest release. With an extensive hot food menu to choose from including pizzas, burgers, nachos and desserts, plus an alcohol list we don’t know how we’re ever going to watch a movie in the regular cinemas again.

And in case you’re wandering what the difference is between Gold Class and VPremium is, (we also had to ask), Gold Class Cinemas provide the extra perk of a personal waiter service.

Where: Village Cinemas, Jam Factory, South Yarra.

Vpremium tickets are priced from $23.
