Review Highlights - Bantam Cinema & Arts Center

Such a treat not to be in a ginormous multiplex that is over air conditioned.

Colonial Theatre - Ground floor theater

Colonial Theatre

4.5(2 reviews)
21.8 mi

ORIGIN: A seasonal resident of the community who worked in…read morethe coastal hospitality industry, Seth Moseley, built what later became known as the Colonial Theatre in 1923. According to local lore, he built it as an entertainment center to please his wife while they resided in rural Litchfield County. On the second floor was a ballroom, ground floor a movie theatre, and basement had a bowling alley. After decades of use the theater closed in 1997. Since then different groups of community members have stepped up to revive and restore the theater. LOCATION: The theater is located on a street that intersects with the town's main thoroughfare. This section of town is recognized by the National Register of Historic Places as a historic zone for its large collection early twentieth century buildings. These buildings arose after the crossing of two regional railways sparked commercial development. CONCEPT: Aligned with how the venue was initially conceived, the Colonial Theatre is a community hub for entertainment and celebrations. ATMOSPHERE: Many early 20th century design details have been preserved or restored, including a mural depicting the surrounding community in the lobby. EXPERIENCE: A variety of events sponsored or hosted by regional businesses take place at the theater. As one example, Boondocks Film Society hosted an event in which 1930s style cocktails were served alongside a streaming of the 1934 class -- The Thin Man. Live jazz by the Orson Handel trio accompanied the pre-screening competition cocktails. The site, with its art deco details, was especially fitting for this event. TIPS: There is an excellent restaurant across the street from theater -- Industry Kitchen & Bar. I've enjoyed the burgers, sandwiches, and tacos (see my Yelp review.), but they also offer fancier dinner entrees. Check the theater's website and Instagram for upcoming events.

My husband and I have been here several times - we kept expectations low on food, but it was…read moresurprisingly fine - the chicken was really nicely flavored and juicy - the potato was nicely done and with lots of butter and sour cream - damn good - the green beans were fresh, but limp - but edible. Dessert was some kind of toffee cheesecake with fresh whipped cream - again, not gourmet, but good! It's like what you could make at home, but you don't have to cook or clean up, and you get to watch a movie. All this for $50 for 2 - not bad. We went on Wed for pizza and a movie - again, surprise - the pizza was pretty good - the ceasar salad was tasty as well - crisp lettuce - decent dressing - could have used anchovies, but I'm a traditional ceasar salad kind of girl. Oh, and it was $10 for the movie and a pizza for each of us. Only downside - it's cold as heck in the theatre - not sure what the deal with that is - I was cold the first time, the next time I was prepared and enjoyed myself immensely. Will we go back? You bet!!
