Restaurants in Tasmania
1. The Paragon Theatre
Overall Ratings
5.0 based on 41 reviews
The Paragon Theatre opened on October 28, 1933 to a capacity crowd of 1150. After a chequered history which saw it gutted and repurposed as an indoor cricket stadium in 1985 before closing down for over a decade it then underwent a major restoration in the early 2000's. After being closed again for 3 years we bought the theatre in July 2017 and are continuing the restoration. During the warmer months you can enjoy dinner in the beautiful main hall before relaxing on a leather couch to watch an old classic movie, perhaps with a glass of wine/beer or one of our famous house-made whiskey choc-tops. If you don't have time for dinner and movie you can do a self-guided tour of the theatre, for a small fee, to learn about its history and just enjoy the space. Tours generally available all year round. We also have events throughout the season including musical concerts and plays so we hope you will join us in our quest to make The Paragon Theatre the entertainment hub of Western Tasmania.

This theatre is a "quiet" attraction - low publicity and on a side street but it is a wonderful attraction of Queenstown. The new owners, who also conduct a range of tours in the Gordon River and Queenstown area, have continued the restoration in great style. The theatre area, now used for regular "fine dining with a movie", is a beautiful example of an art-deco theatre, and for just a few dollars visitors are able to enjoy a self-guided tour. Don't forget the old projection room with its arc light projector.
2. Star Theatre Launceston

The Star Theatre was a cinema in Launceston from 1937 until 1969. It is a fine example of late art-deco cinema architecture and we are lucky that it has been preserved. We had a vision to reopen The Star as a cinema that showcased quality films in a beatific Art Deco space. In addition it is a venue for the community of Launceston that can be used for a range of purposes including live music, comedy, conferences and special events. A bar and cafe offers fine Tasmanian food and beverages that can be enjoyed before, during or after the movie. The films we offer are an eclectic mix of old and new, from cult-classics to new independent releases, there is something for everyone. We are very excited to have brought The Star back to life!

The Star is a real cinema experience. Only the one screen - but some memorabilia and a bright ticket office/bar snack & cafe counter upon entry. A single screen but you can watch it - in traditional cinema mode - upstairs (if you can manage a few stairs). Great if keen on viewing the art deco features. Alternately, you can watch in a bean bag, chair, lounge, bench seat downstairs. Downstairs wheelchair accesible too. Toilets in the entrance area as well. Plenty of free 3 hour parking out front, as well as local streets. Cinema sits in a light, industrial area rather than a main shopping strip so it's never posed a problem for me. With only one screen they do well to show around 3-6 different movies a week. Staff consistently good humoured & accommodating.

Located in North Hobart, the State is a local independent cinema that has entertained generations of Tasmanians for over 100 years. In addition to eight cinema screens, we also have a boutique bookstore, cafe bar and rooftop cinema. Our cinema is licensed, so you can enjoy a glass of wine while enjoying a movie!

We love Gold class as a civilised way to see a movie. A quiet place was a great movie and this time the hot chocolates arrived in the middle of the movie as ordered.
