The Nova Bar

Cinema Nova's iconic Nova Bar is located at the top of the escalators in Lygon Court, right next to the Candy Bar. Sip on a cocktail, savour a coffee and nibble on some light snacks before, after or between movie sessions. With the occasional movie bar takeover reinventing the space, there's no better place for movie-lovers and casual cinema-goers alike to relax and unwind.

The current bar takeover includes a full-wall mural of James Jean's hypnotic Everything Everywhere All At Once poster, meticulously hand-painted by local artist, Frank Watson.

Previous bar-takeovers have included Cafe Le Sans Blague in honour of Wes Anderson's The French Dispatch; Blade Runner 2049 featuring a future-inspired drinks menu; and The Hollywood Time Lounge inspired by Tarantino's Once Upon A Time in Hollywood.
