History
Gimle Cinema is a small, traditional cinema located in the Frogner neighborhood of Oslo. The cinema is named after the Gimle area.
It opened on August 23, 1939, and has been known from the start as a theater for art and quality films. It was modernized in 1962 and underwent major renovations in 1997. The cinema has only one auditorium with 260 seats and offers beer and wine service in the foyer which can be considered as a very rare fact due to the strict alcohol restrictions.
