We have visited this theater several times and found the food and service good. However, both of…read morethese times the theater was mostly empty with 6 or 8 guests so it was pretty easy to get good service. Tonight the theater was almost full, and the service was terrible. The staff had no idea what was going on or how to serve a large crowd. It was complete chaos in the theater, and no one had any idea what order the guests had arrived in. After sitting for 30 minutes with no acknowledge from the staff while we witnessed 15 others who arrived after us being given menus, then drinks, and some already receiving their dinner orders, we decided to leave. The manager was contacted to refund our ticket price. He agreed but seemed unconcerned about what was going on upstairs in the theater. Cannot recommend Gilson's unless you can find a time when no one else is visiting.

ORIGIN: The site of the Bantam Cinema & Arts Center is said…read moreto be the oldest movie theater in Connecticut. A local grocer, Domenico Evangelisti, opened the then named Rivoli Theater in 1929. Apparently equally visionary, the owner of neighboring Bantam Ball Bearing Company had periodically entertained employees with silent movies, and sold the projector to Evangelisti's son before shifting manufacturing out-of-state to be near the emerging South Bend automobile industry. CONCEPT: Their vision has since been sustained by local aficionados of the arts -- most recently a dedicated group of community members who established non-profit status for the historic theater in 2021. EXPERIENCE: Expect to see viewers reconnecting and chatting before and after the showings. The Cinema remains a community space. TIP: Enjoy dinner, sweet, and/or drink at neighboring restaurants -- La Catrina, Arethusa, Materia.

But I was always there during the weekday around lunchtime or early on a Saturday when there weren't any screenings at the Theatre. The building was actually built as a Grange hall in 1905. Where they showed Movies in the upstairs section. In 1927 wad known as the Millerton theatre There's a very nice lounge with a café and art gallery upstairs It was converted into four screens. Screen one has 154 seats. Screen two has 142 seats screen three has 136 seats and the screening room has 38 seats. When you walk in the front doors, the concession stand is up in front of you. To the left and right our poster cases with current movies on the left side and classic films on the right side The young lady behind the concession stand. Was very friendly and helpful. I ordered a large popcorn and green iced tea. I was coming for a screening of the movie Network . On September 24. That exact date is mentioned in the movie. I went up the very staircase steps to the second floor, where the movie was playing in theater 3. There is an elevator so you don't have to navigate those steep steps going up or down The lounge area was very nice looking, retro. I looked into the little screening room across from the bar down a little hallway. It had a pretty good size screen and comfortable seat seats. I picked a seat in the middle section of the theater. Which has a nice ambience. The screen is a very good size as well. The projection of crisp and clear. Very good sound system as well. I'm a big supporter of these independent historic downtown theaters. The look and feel of this theater was different from other theaters. like the Orpheum theater in Saugerties or Upstate Films/Rhinebeck/Saugerties . I would say it felt more luxurious. The café area had a couch that looks like it came from the 1950s One can buy a membership to support the Theatre. As it's a nonprofit Theatre now. This Theatre is a GEM in the downtown of Millerton. They have special screenings like network. As well as when the director of an independent film will come on a Saturday afternoon to do a question and answer session. Stop at one of the restaurants in town before or after a movie. The Moviehouse will definitely be a destination that I will be going back to several times a year.

It's definitely not state of the art. Not even close. And the popcorn is surprisingly bad. But it's…read morethe kind of scrappy little theater I love. The lounge is fabulous and looks like it should be part of an eclectic diner or a Rocky Horror Picture show. They have surprisingly good locally made empanadas. I wish they had a better mix of indie films. Still it was a highlight of my year to see Le Samourai in their lounge.

Our matinee movie ticket was $13. Candy was $6 per item. We passed on the popcorn. The bathrooms did not seem very clean, and one of the faucets was broken. Entering the theatre and walking up to our seats at the top, the stairs were soo dark I tripped, and we ended up having to use our flashlights to find our seats, because the row and numbers for the seats were missing (we were the only ones in the room at that point). We finally counted to where our seats were, and the recliners did not work. The leather was cracked. No one told us these seats were out of order. We tried some next to them, same thing. Thankfully it was not a busy showing and we were able to find seats that were unoccupied and working. But it seems crazy to me that they are ok selling a regular-priced ticket for a broken and cracked recliner. The overall quality and sound of the movie playing, however, was good.

As part of Hollywood's Warner Bros collection of theaters, the Warner Theatre in Torrington was built in 1928, with doors opening in 1931. Both use and condition of the theater declined, ultimately leading to impending demolition in the early 1980s. A visionary group of community members created a non-profit to save the theater and raise funds for its restoration. Evergreene Architectural Arts and Sevigny Architects helped restore the surfaces that had been designed by legendary Thomas Lamb. Full restoration of the structure and internal systems was achieved and celebrated in 2002. CONCEPT: The restored Warner Theatre has expanded its activities beyond film screenings. Opportunities for patrons to see various performing arts, including dance, music, and plays, are now available within the original theater and surrounding spaces. There is something for everyone -- see the theater's website for upcoming schedule of activities. It's one of several rewarding ways the restored theater can be supported. LOCATION: The theater is located along the main thoroughfare for Torrington. EXPERIENCE: I enjoyed a performance of Swan Lake thanks to World Ballet Company and had opportunity to marvel at both the performance and building interior. TIPS: Make a memorable evening by dining before the event at Geppetto's, just around the corner, and/or head to Sasso's secret lounge (Franklin Lounge) for a post-event cocktail. A free parking lot is near the theater. The theater offers costume rentals. Schedule a visit to their 8,000 square foot storage room by contacting Renee Purdy.
