Lonely Planet review for Deckchair Cinema

During the Dry, the Darwin Film Society runs this fabulous outdoor cinema below the southern end of the Esplanade. Watch a movie under the stars while reclining in a deckchair − bring a cushion for extra comfort. There's a licensed bar serving food (teriyaki noodles, pasta bolognese etc) or you can bring a picnic (no BYO alcohol). There are usually double features on Friday and Saturday nights (adult/child $20/9).

    relaxed and different

    james280779 recommends this,

    have been a few times, its a great atmosphere and a unique experience.
    nothing better than watching a film with a possum sitting on your lap.
    free mossie repellant and a licensed bar.

    only down side is the films are often too 'arty'. If they showed more mainstream films I would be there everyweekend but as it is I only manage once or twice a year.

    Relaxing way to spend or start an evening

    lozza_mcd recommends this,

    Deckchair is something worth going to. You can buy a bottle of wine at the bar and relax and watch the movie.
    There are normally two sessions per night one starting at 7pm and one at 9:30.
    There are many different events and promotions that go on at the deckchair so keep an eye out for them!
