The Roxy Cinema (later known as the Odeon and Classic) on Cavendish Street in Barrow-in-Furness, Cumbria, England is a former cinema, and one of only two remaining original cinema buildings in the town (the other being Salthouse Pavilion). Built in 1937 in the Streamline Moderne-style it replaced a late 19th-century theater also called the Roxy.[1] The cinema was purchased by Odeon in 1943, and again by Classic Cinemas in 1967.[1] Throughout its various forms, the cinema only had one screen, although it could seat up to 1,200 people.[1] Its days as a cinema ended in 1976 when it was soon converted into a nightclub.[1]

The Champers nightclub closed in 1984 and the Roxy Cinema building lay vacant until 1991 when a new nightclub named Manhattans opened. Mahattans ultimately met a similar demise a decade on,[1] although 2011 saw the rejuvenation of the Manhattans brand which reopened a venue within the building.[2] An American themed restaurant/diner and bar 'Hollywood' is also located on the ground floor in the cinema's former foyer. Whilst in the basement 'Broadway' a popular weekend nightclub is located.
