It is open to all, welcoming moviegoers seeking premium film viewing, and guests who simply wish to enjoy luxury dining without watching a movie.

Setting a new benchmark in moviegoing experience, Wolfgang’s Premiere Lounge, located at Level 4 of Gateway Mall 2, stands out as the first and only cinema in the country to feature Wolfgang’s Steakhouse premium menu. This carefully curated dining experience allows moviegoers to savor gourmet dishes while being immersed in the latest blockbusters, creating a perfect fusion of fine cuisine and cutting-edge cinema. 

The menu, created exclusively for Wolfgang’s Premiere Lounge, includes curated gourmet setsuch as burger sliders, roast beef sliders, and Reuben sandwiches—each served with chips and bottled water—for a satisfying dining experience that pairs well with the film.Guests can enjoy these offerings in the exclusive cinema lounge—even without watching a movie.

 

“Wolfgang’s Premiere Lounge was designed to bring an entirely new level of indulgence to the cinema experience,” Irene Jose, Chief Operating Officer of Uniprom said. “We’re taking the movie experience that you’ve come to expect here at Gateway Cineplex 18 and bringing it up a notch to deliver a new and exciting way to enjoy the biggest and latest blockbusters.”

At the core of the experience is a suite of visual and sound technology built to elevate how movies are seen and heard. Wolfgang’s Premiere Lounge uses a laser projector that renders sharper, more vivid images than standard systems. It is paired with a Perlux Screen made for laser projection, allowing brighter, richer visuals to come through. Sound is delivered through Dolby Digital 7.1 Surround, adding depth and dimension to every scene.

 

This advanced technology works hand in hand with the cinema’s thoughtful design and amenities. Beyond dining, guests have access to a private lounge and La-Z-Boy recliners with adjustable settings for added comfort. The Wolfgang’s Premiere Lounge Bar also serves a curated menu of wines, sodas, and cocktails, rounding out a well-considered moviegoing experience.

 

Whether booked online or in person, Wolfgang’s Premiere Lounge offers a seamless and elevated experience from start to finish. Guests are welcomed into a private lounge where they can relax before the film begins—a quiet space suited for pre-movie conversations or simply unwinding.

“With Wolfgang’s Premiere Lounge, we’re redefining what it means to go to the movies. This is more than just a film screening—it’s a fully immersive experience that blends world-class dining, luxury seating, and cutting-edge technology to create the ultimate entertainment destination,” Jose said.

Each ticket is priced at ₱990, which includes a thoughtfully prepared gourmet set from Wolfgang’s Steakhouse, allowing guests to enjoy both film and food in one seamless experience.

“We invite movie lovers to step into a new era of cinema with Wolfgang’s Premiere Lounge. Whether it’s a night out, a special celebration, or simply indulging in the finest way to watch a film, this is an experience unlike any other. Come and see what makes it truly special,” Jose concluded.
