133 Ahmadu Bello Way,

Victoria Island, Lagos.

I'm not really a movie person but Ive been going to Silverbird since 2004 or 2005 I'm not even sure which. Sometimes to watch a movie which was almost every week when I was in Unilag because it is N500 with a student ID..cheap. Then they had this really cool accessories shop downstairs I used to go to but its not there anymore. Then there was M cafe ice cream and my boyfriend had a little party for me there in 2008...(oohh happy times)

The cinema itself is what I love because they get the latest movies on time and premier them the same time or almost the same time it premiers abroad. Wolverine just premiered on Wednesday. Even if you are not a movie goer there are a bunch of shops you can just walk through. There is now a bowling alley though it looks like its more for children. You could also get a semi permanent tattoo or eat out at Double 4, Barcelos, Mcafe...on and on and on!!

I have friends that literally go to Silverbird just because of the popcorn they sell at the concession stands, you should try it. I personally always go for sweet popcorn, hot and sticky and you'll almost have downed half the pack before your movie starts. lol.

Anyway back to the theatre, it has 5 screen rooms all fully air conditioned, great picture quality and surround sound effect. Ahem!! a quick warning in Lagos people talk while the movie is going on, they also clap, allow their phones ring and have conversations while a movie is going on so if you aren't used to this you might have to brace yourself. The extra sound effect sometimes and only sometimes add to the excitement of a movie...only some times.

Asides from watching a movie I also recommend Baglios for ice cream, Barcelos for a club sandwich, Dream nails studio for dream nails, Silverbird lifestyle for literature, music, games etc...
