There seems to be a bit of confusion here. The Crescent Picture House was situated in the Pierrot Pavilion and opened in July 1923. It was obviously a success as the larger Crescent Cinema was built next door and opened in June 1930. That lasted until the early 1970s and is now apartments with the facade retained. The smaller one must have closed when the larger one opened. It was eventually demolished and the Crescent Leisure Centre occupied the site. Some info here: www.cinematour.com/tour/fo/5658.html
Opened 17 December 1934 and closed 18 July 1970. The Town and Country Club during the 1980s, survived a redevelopment plan in 1992 but closed March 1993. Later that year Mean Fiddler took on the lease with films of a musical nature returning to the former cinema in 1995 under the Silver Screen Cinema Club banner. The MAMA group took over the lease in 2007 and refurbished the building in 2009 when it became known as the HMV Forum. The current operator is Live Nation, part of the Academy Music Group, which has rebranded the venue the O2 Forum.
Exact opening date 4 February 1959. Renamed Premier in 1984 but closed for refurbishment 29 November 1984. Reopened as the Curzon West End 8 March 1985. It was announced in December 2014 the cinema was under threat from Crossrail 2 project and a campaign to save the cinema was started, backed by Benedict Cumberbatch and Stephen Fry. Two more premieres: the film “Lolita” had a Gala Premiere here in 1962 and “The Competition” had a Royal Charity Premiere here in June 1981 in the presence of Her Majesty the Queen and the Duke of Edinburgh.
Taken over by John Downs in the 1980s. It was his company Cosmo Leisure that converted it into a bar/nightclub opening in December 2004. A series of incidents led to its licence being revoked and it closed suddenly in December 2012.
Reopened in June 1977 after tripling. Press reports state a fourth screen was added in the bar area in March 1995. The cinema was reputed to be haunted by a little girl in a red coat. Barrow-born John Duffin has committed some images of the cinema to canvas see: http://www.johnduffin.co.uk/digital/2007/index.html
Theatre now seems to have gone into voluntary liquidation although a separate company did stage the Christmas pantomime Snow White over the festive period.
The cinema is part of Marine Point, a £42 million retail and leisure park developed by Neptune Investments. It was the first of the company’s UK cinemas to open, and is a social hub engaging not only cinema but bands, musicians and poets, and is one of eight Light cinemas across the country. The company, formed by Australian businessman John Sullivan and his business partner Keith Pulligan, opened its first cinema in Bucharest in 2008.

The Welcome Stranger is a hotel, although it may very well have a gaming area and bar.
Appears to have been in use as a church as of September 2017.
If the piano bar is where the cinema used to be it looks like a different building. Cinema demolished or refaced maybe?
