    Advantages Advantages Comfortable seats and large choice of films

    Disadvantages Disadvantages public transport and poor service

    There are two Showcase Cinema complexes in the Glasgow area. One is in Paisley (which I'm sure could be argued is not part of Glasgow but that's a different discussion) and the other is in the Coatbridge area (which is really Monklands and not Glasgow, confusing isn't it). The latter is my nearest cinema and is the one I will discuss (having never visited the other. The Showcase in Coatbridge is officially called the Glasgow East Showcase and that is how it appears in most listings. It is situated on the M8/A8, which is the busiest motorway in Scotland apparently, around 10 miles from Glasgow ... more

    3 Stars Glasgow East showcase 03/06/2002
    User doesn't recommend the product

    Advantages Advantages serving the East end of Glasgow

    Disadvantages Disadvantages only accessible by road

    This cinema doesn't really know whether it is Coatbridge, Bargeddie, or Glasgow... In the newspapers it is advertised as Glasgow (East), but is closer to Coatbridge and its address is Bargeddie! Located and visible at the A8 between Shawhead (A725) and Bailleston (M73). Reduced "early bird" tickets are available to screenings before 13:00, and concessions at all other times. However, in Glasgow this is the most expensive Multiplex (in the area), a typical adult ticket is £6.00 and a child/student is £4.50 (prices correct at 01/06/02). 12 screens covering 16 films (varies). A central severy is ... more

    4 Stars Enjoy the Film! 30/09/2004
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Large cinema, surrounded by restuarants, bars, bowling and arcades.

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Awkward location.

    I'm a cinema addict...there's no point in me trying to deny it, and so I find myself traipsing around a lot of cinemas, and the Glasgow East Showcase is one I go to fairly often. The name is fairly confusing, as it is probably nearer Coatbridge than Glasgow, but it is only part of a much larger park which contains a bowling alley, arcade, KFC, McDonald's, a couple of other eating places and a pub. The cinema itself is fairly eye-catching as you drive by it on the motorway, with huge neon signs attracting your attention from the windows. However, it is quite difficult to get to as you would ... more

    4 Stars Good Service but you pay for it! 27/09/2000
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Customer Service

    Disadvantages Disadvantages High prices for drinks and snacks

    I have only been to the showcase cinemas based in Leeds. I have been a few times and have been happy viewing movies there. I went to see one tonight with my partner and we found that the picture had all the black dots across the screen where dust had got on the reel and the sound kept on skipping, but it was watchable. We had paid £3.00 to view this movie each as it was a tuesday night. At the end of the night we decided to tell someone about the poor quality as it would only get worse for the other viewers. We did this and they gave us two tickets in compensations to see any movie at any time ... more

    4 Stars Fun but not cheap 20/02/2001
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Wide range of screens and times and the food is great

    Disadvantages Disadvantages A bit extortionate but most can live with it

    Very Americanized and attractive places to watch movies. A wide selection of snacks and times to see movies throughout the day. The one snag is that it is very expensive. The thing that balances it all out though is that it is by far the best cinemas around for, cleaness, friendliness, movie selection and food. I went to London once and a lot of the cinemas there are dedicated to one film which is utter pants. Scotland has buy far the best cinemas in the UK and is cheaper and more fun than anywhere else. The Showcaes is an exception but people are willing to pay prices like that because it is ... more

    1 Star Paisley Showcase is the Pitts 27/02/2004
    User doesn't recommend the product

    Advantages Advantages Paisley Showcase is near to M8 motorway

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Very Expensive and Appalling Staff

    As a single parent my children and I appreciate when we can have a treat such as going to the cinema. I took my children 1 daughter aged 6 and 1 son aged 12 along to the Showcase Cinema in Paisley, I asked the girl on the desk for a film which would suit all of us I was directed to a film called The Haunted Mansion, in their revue it says " family entertainment Comedy" There was nothing funny about this film both of my children and myself were scared stiff so scared in fact we had to leave. The staff were completely unhelpful and we left completely upset that our once a fortnight trip to the ... more
