Scene At Rialto Cinemas Cerrito

Beer, movies, food, wine, pizza, popcorn, and candy—oh my! This place has it all!

A year later, I decided to return and try the nachos, and I was quite surprised. Unfortunately, the nachos looked better than they tasted. Maybe this is on me for not paying close enough attention, but I didn't realize I needed to be on the lookout for olives in my nachos. The dim lighting in the movie room made it hard to distinguish between beans, olives, cheese, chicken, and rice. Honestly, I’m not sure if there was even rice on the nachos, but I stand by my statement. As before, I really enjoyed the cozy atmosphere of this smaller movie theater. I paired my popcorn with an adult beverage, and the popcorn was consistently good. I’ll definitely come back to avoid the crowds at other places, but I think I'll stick with just popcorn next time.

Charming little theater with delicious buttered popcorn and ginger beer/Izze drinks available for purchase. I appreciate that they show films that are harder to find. I watched "All of Us Strangers" during my visit. The sound quality in the theater wasn't as impressive as I expected it would be if we had sat more towards the middle (we were in the back), but it didn't detract from the experience. Coming from the North Bay, it's refreshing to see theaters like this. Parking can be a challenge, though, as most nearby spots have meters that only allow for up to 3 hours.

I'm loyal to this place and appreciate their free shows and special programs. However often the decibel level is deafening, both for trailers and features. I complained but don't seem to be interested in turning down the volume. This kind of thing makes people prefer to stay home.

Good quality has plummeted while prices have skyrocketed. New bar tables are hard to eat at . Seem overstaffed yet no one at ticket counter so you need to stand in food line before claiming your seat which is annoying. Good selection of movies , but skews more towards marvel/mainstream stuff nowadays
