Lido Cinemas

Family owned and operated, Lido Cinemas is a sleek artiplex showing new release mainstream and art house films and retrospectives.

Eddie and Lindy Tamir, owners of the Classic and Cameo Cinemas, bought the building in 2013 and renovated the eccentric maze of spaces, while retaining original design features such as the foyer’s terrazzo floor and decorative plaster ceilings throughout the cinemas. There are now eight indoor cinemas, a rooftop cinema, jazz room, and sweeping foyer space in this building that has had so many lives. Although the walls still look freshly painted, you can sense the history of art, dance, music, and debauchery that has unfolded under this roof since 1912.
