AMC Kabuki 8

Advantages: Luxurious, huge, cheap
Disadvantages: Well hidden

...First of all the AMC is the best cinema in Manchester. There are no debates or arguments on this subject. Some might say, ‘The Filmworks the Filmworks what about the Filmworks!!!’ To which I answer… overcrowded, too expensive, to small in every regard, and far to far from the bus stop. :) The AMC is part of the Great Northern leisure and shopping development situated between Peter Street and Deansgate. It was opened in Spring 2002 and anyone going there today can see the amazing transformation from the old Victorian railway goods warehouse into a £100 million modern complex. AMC’s megaplex is located within the new leisure building that runs along Watson Street from its glass atrium link at the rear of the Great Northern Warehouse down to Deansgate. So What Are The Facts? >The megaplex houses 16 screens with 3,591 seats... Read review

Advantages: Loyalty scheme, freebies, low prices
Disadvantages: No individual scoop ice cream

Advantages: Great product, easy to use and good value for money
Disadvantages: only usable in Manchester

...around Manchester aswell as many other offers for shops and various services. I had heard of most of these places on the website which is www.citycardmanchester.co.uk, and there are some really good chain restaurants which I recognise from my native Leeds, such as La Tasca - where you get 25% off the full bill, and Livebait + others. There are also lots of good indepdant bars, restaurants and stores etc. The card is great value at £38.50 for the full year, which gives you unlimited use of these offers. I bought mine in the early summer time, and was suprised how quickly I did actually save my money back. The best offer is probably the cinema offer, 2 4 1 at AMC Deansgate which we use at least once a week. We also booked tickets for a show at the Palace Theatre, which I think we saved about £8 per ticket on, a total saving... Read review
