Went to Crown Gold Class tonight to watch Deadpool & Wolverine.
Jfc, the food there has always been overpriced “shitty cinema food”, but now it’s absolutely revolting. I had to spit out my first and only bite of the cheese burger, and my partner couldn’t eat her margarita pizza as it was more salty than the heavily salted popcorn. Also why did they take nachos off the menu, something it would take a buffoon to fuck up?
I’ve not been to the one at crown or to gold class, but I’ve literally never had anyone at any theatre (I’ve been to most of the majors) care about smuggling in some stuff from Coles. Granted I don’t just walk in holding a packet of chips, I usually just have a small pack of something and a drink stuffed in my pockets, but as long as you aren’t obvious about it they’re unlikely to care. Plus the entirety of Hoyts seems to be staffed by like 2 people who always seem horribly burnt out and give absolutely zero shits
Gold class is well worth the money if you’ve never been. As there are so few seats in the room and it being more expensive, it weeds out people that may disrupt your viewing experience. The seats are very comfy too. It’s like having a real home cinema screen. But it’s easy to get carried away and spend money though with a “press this button on your table for food or drinks” being available on demand.
But yeah, the people staffing at the Crown one are polite stereotypical minimum wage idgaf people, which is probably the same experience I assume at the Hoyts you’ve been to.
So to original replier: if you’re short on cash just don’t be a knob and no one will care. Maybe buy a drink / soda!?
Edit: typo
Edit 2: I’ve been there in gold class when people have brought in takeaway food before. No shits given.
You know in all my years of living here I’ve never seen that KFC but a quick Google says it exists and is open until 5am.
I’ve probably never seen it because of the golden rule of “never eat at Crown”. I made an exception for the cinema and that was definitely the last time.
Oh wow, looks like they’ve upgraded their hours from the last time I looked at them. Open til 5 every night of the week. I thought it was until 3 and only on Fri/sat. I know Bourke St is like that
If you’re gagging for chicken mate, it’s better to jump on the 86 for a few stops and hit The Birmy for a parma. Way better value for money, and I bet you can’t finish it all without being overfull.

It’s pretty hard to fuck up a cheeseburger.
I’m going on Sunday because a friend has free gold pass tickets that are about to expire. Is there free popcorn or do you have to buy it??
You get unlimited “free” popcorn if you order/share 5 items from the food menu which costs $110, otherwise you have to buy popcorn separately
Well, shit.
Nobody is gonna say shit if you buy a bag from Woolies or Coles with a paper bowl, but you’ll probs only be saving yourself $5-$7.
Hope you enjoy the film and have a nice time!

I’ve always been curious about crown. I think from memory they have a KFC that’s open until 3am on Friday nights or something like that.
The one on chapel Street wins though, open til 6am before closing for a whopping 4 hours. Madness!

Yeah, that’s gross. It’s wild what places get away with.
