The anti-cinema format is quite new for the city on the Neva.
Here, unlike large chain cinemas, viewers do not pay for a ticket at all, but most often for the time spent under its roof (in the manner of a time cafe). However, in the “Secret Room” on Nevsky they went further: here they do not ask you to pay for viewing time, but offer to spend your money wisely. Buy better popcorn, soda, waffles, coffee or tea. Moreover, you can collect exactly as many goodies for the film as you deem necessary - for 200 rubles all restrictions are lifted. So the popcorn basket will treacherously not be empty by the middle of the session. The “Secret Room” cinema hall is very cozy and intimate.
It is designed for only 25 seats. Plastic chairs with velor upholstery replaced soft beanbags. There are no rows as such either - you can take any place you like in the spaces of the hall without remorse. Of course, there are also improvised “kissing places” for lovers: closer to the projector and away from the public, hidden in a special niche located on a small podium. Place: Nevsky pr., 88;

Surely, during the lull on the horizon of high-profile film premieres, everyone at least once dreamed that the cinemas would show exactly the movie that you like, even if it was removed from distribution long ago.
Imagine, but such an opportunity really exists: not so long ago, in an anti-cafe in the city center, along with a lot of other entertainment, they opened a spacious cinema hall with a large screen, where you can gather a group of friends or watch absolutely any film in splendid isolation. Guests have access to a wide-format projector, a player for flash drives and discs, the ability to connect directly to a laptop, and even a cozy second floor, all lined with large black beanbags.
You just need to take the media with your favorite movie with you and enjoy a good movie. Here they often watch sensational TV series, old films and even music concerts, sitting comfortably in a bean bag chair. The hall is very popular, so it is advisable to book it in advance before going to watch a movie. And if it so happens that you come to an anti-cafe and the hall is free, then you can watch a movie from the “12 Rooms” collection or quickly download something like that right here. By the way, another advantage is that the anti-cafe is open almost 24 hours a day. Place: st.
