There is more to the movieworld than just your regular Hollywood-flick, which you can see in the regular theatres. Filmhuis Griffioen brings you the broad perspective by showing movies from all around the world. How about a little Japanese manga, some Hungarian drama, Swedish comedy or -dare we say- a Dutch film?
The films are shown in their original version, with Dutch subtitles.
Open September until the end of May, on every Tuesday, Thursday and Friday, with two shows every evening.

The cinema often shows movies/cartoons for kids and one or two mainstream movies. Keep in mind that most movies for kids are dubbed, so if your kids do not speak Dutch, or you want to experience the movie in its original language, think twice before you go there.
Mainstream movies are subbed in Dutch.
See the website for the agenda of the theater and cinema.

This is a local braun bar along a countryish road. Most of the people who go there are farmers. Expect boisterous good times and friendly people with good prices. Could be 1950 all over again, dogs are welcome.

Dress Code: Casual, but not too casual.
