The price is posted on the machine. Cash only — bring coins or small notes. Most analog booths in this range run a few pounds, euros or dollars a strip.
Is The Ace Bar a real film photo booth or a digital one?
We list only analog booths, but we haven't confirmed the machine details for this one. If you've used it, tell us what it is.
Do I need to book, or can I just walk up to The Ace Bar?
Just walk up. It's a coin-op booth, not a hire service — no booking, no attendant. If the venue is open, the booth is on.
How many photos do you get at The Ace Bar, and how long does it take?
One strip of four shots. The machine takes the four in quick succession, then develops the strip on the spot — usually three to five minutes before it drops into the slot.

Can I get into The Ace Bar with a wheelchair or a pram?
