Belfast bar offers movies with your drink

Forget the popcorn, have a swift G and T while watching your favourite movie.

A Belfast bar, La Lea in the city-centre Franklin Street, has opened Northern Ireland's first cinebar.

It promises patrons the chance to request screenings of their particular favourites, as well as a programme of classics and cult movies.

The new cinema will have two screens and if the idea is a success similar cinebars could be opened across the North.
