Watch a Movie with your Dog at the Dot Movie Theatre!

This summer, why not try a truly doggy friendly screening of Elf at The Dot Theatre?

Inspired to make Dublin a more dog friendly place, @TheDailyCavalier regularly hosts special doggy friendly screenings at the Dot Movie Theatre! These screenings are the perfect opportunity to enjoy a movie with your pooch and make some furry friends while you're at it.

The first screening was held in early 2024, and more than 20 dogs and their owners showed up to watch Lady and the Tramp. The 39-seats cinema screen was fully hired out to pet lovers across the capital, and there were even free treats for both human and canine guests – boxes of unsalted, unbuttered popcorn. Since then, several other screenings took place with great success.

The dog-friendly screening is described as a place “where dogs and their owners gather to watch a movie or a show in a dog-friendly environment.”

When & Where

The event always takes place at The Dot Theatre in 6A Pembroke Place in Dublin 2.

Additional Information

If you're eager to go, organisers ask that each pooch is well-behaved and toilet trained, with owners encouraged to bring a blanket, leash, water bowl, poop bags, and toys if they need them.

Treats are also permitted inside, although dog lovers are asked not to feed anyone else’s four-legged friend.

“Please bear in mind the temperament of your dog and whether they would be comfortable to visit the cinema with other dogs and watching a doggy/animal themed movie on the big screen,” The Daily Cavalier writes on the event page.

“As it is a doggy screening, some barking at the movie is expected. However if your dog is becoming distressed, it may be best to bring them outside away from the movie.”

Tickets

Tickets are usually €14.00 per human, and dogs go free. You can buy them through eventbrite.ie, under this link, when screening dates become available.

Right now, @TheDailyCavalier has no active events on, but keep an eye out - this summer is bound to be full of doggy friendly movie screenings!
