Golden Age Cinema and Bar

It was a serendipitous ‘meet cute’ when we first laid eyes on Paramount House. From the splendid art deco details of its facade to the timeless timber furnishings within, there was little use in resisting this unique vestige of times gone by. Originally constructed in 1940 and utilised as the home of Paramount Pictures in Sydney until the 1970s, the theatrette’s patronage changed dramatically over the decades from local exhibitors and film executives to sharp-tongued critics, and welcomed in servicemen and women to view newsreels during World War II.

Think of Golden Age as the femme fatale, the leading man, and the sassy best friend all in one. Recalling the sublime indulgence of classic Hollywood but deeply invested in a future vision of a moviegoing culture that invites new cinematic voices to speak, our cinema and bar provide an intimate and inclusive social experience like no other. The good old days are now.

Golden Age is available for private hire. You can book the cinema, the bar, or both. One of Sydney’s most unique, photogenic and versatile spaces, it can be used for private events, product launches, corporate workshops, presentations, photoshoots, private screenings and more.
