My grandchildren ended up getting there early because their dad decided he wanted to go too. He paid they were seated. When I got there, the old man Ray was so rude..He treated me as if I was trying to pull something by handing him 100 for my ticket and snacks,,,, He told me he wasn't going to take my money.. I asked "why?" and he got snotty and just said no Im not letting you in here... No explanation,, So I said " Okay if I walk 4 blocks to my car in the snow to get my card will that work?" So that's what he made me do and miss 1/4 of the movie he just made me pay full price for, He ruined our entire night,,,What a rotten man with the personality of a poorly raised teen.

We walked in and were greeted by the friendliest people. They serve beer and I think wine, as well as other drinks like sparkling water and kombucha. They also have your classic movie snacks and popcorn, and seasonings to add to your popcorn. There are two theaters, and we were in the one downstairs. It's adorable, and feels like you're in a cozy, comfy basement watching a movie. It's all comfy couches and was so cute and cozy! This theater shows lots of independent films, and I was so happy to be able to support such a lovely hidden gem in Vermont!

The Rialto Theatre is a charming vintage small town movie theater that's still going strong,…read moreprovided we continue to patronize their business. It's like walking back in time to when you were a kid. They have their large feature movie auditorium and a smaller theater up by the Main Street entrance for smaller group showings, such as periodic free kiddie movies. Check online for their current showings and one has to appreciate their reasonable ticket rates compared to the big metro multi-plexes. There are some films best first experienced on the big screen, and I never felt short-changed with any of the blockbuster movies here. Their concession stand now offers a selection of beer for the adults. I always enjoy going to the movies here and hope this review gets some others to attend also. So many local theaters have shuttered around the country and we need to keep this community gem going.

The seats are not reclining, the projection is old-school christie projection, not laser, and the bulb seems old and dim. Spider-Man Brand New Day looked wash out and dull and lacking sharpness. The blacks weren't dark enough, the whites weren't bright enough. The picture straight up sucks compared to modern laser projection, as does the sound, which isn't even Atmos. It's 7.1, not even 7.2, so the room has strange bass nodes. It's the best we have around here, but it wasn't even state of the art when it was installed.

The nacho and crab cake were my favourite among all, despite there was only one crab cake per order. The chicken sandwich was actually chicken burger. Chicken was a bit dry.
