The Little Theatre is a place for people who truly love films that make you think, inspire you, challenge your worldviews, and move you to tears. Its a place for people who want to watch movies theyre not likely to get anywhere else while also getting the opportunity for a post-film discussion, live music, great food, the best popcorn in town, local art, and people who take their movie-watching seriously. Ive never had a problem with people being on their mobile phones during a film and the atmosphere, thanks to staff and other guests, is always so inviting. I love this place and if you havent been before, when it reopens, you MUST visit.

Loved it. It was my very first time going to the Little Theatre and we went and saw the French film called Climax. It was amazing! Good atmosphere. Very affordable. Lots of non-mainstream titles to watch/discover. Also in a decent neighborhood.

Good movies but lousy service. Employees dont seem to know the first thing about customer service and the GM Derek is an arrogant and unfriendly guy who also knows nothing about customer service. Youre better off at the Dryden or the Cinema Theater. Or streaming at home. Or reading a book.

Wonderful renovation almost complete. Awesome to have provided the terrazzo tile and terrazzo counters.

Horrible theater in many respects. We will NEVER go there again

First show at the renovated theater tonight. Hubby Jenkins was great, a walking, singing, playing history show that was a privilege to see and hear. The new theater was great too. Thank you for all that contributed to the new theater. Looking forward to our next show there

Unlike any other theater in Rochester, The Little Theatre is any independent cinema lovers go-to in the area. They offer delicious, gourmet foods and drink in the Little Cafe, as well as beer and often times live music. The theatres themselves are smaller and offer a more intimate film-going experience for the viewers. Every showing is unique, and worth the discounted ticket price.

My favorite theater in Rochester! Always a fun experience and the prices of tickets and movie snacks are reasonable. I havent come early enough to try it yet, but there is also a cafe with hot food selections and more. Look out for their special viewings and unique event experiences!

Went to this venue as a part of the Rochester Fringe Fest. Arriving, the entrance was somewhat difficult to find. The street-facing building is closed for renovations, and you actually enter around back. Aside from that though, it was a nice place. The theatres are well maintained, and it has an adjoining Cafe which sometimes has its own performances. Overall a good trip.

Great selection of films. The atmosphere is fun and audience is always an eclectic group of people. Must get the popcorn!

Best popcorn in town. Great selection of movies. Love that they show the Oscar nominated shorts every year!

Great old fashion theatre, in the middle of the city. Multiple smaller theatres that show new realeases at a fraction of the cost of the larger franchises. Movies on Mondays are $5, they have food and drinks available and there was also live music while we were there. The popcorn is awesome and all the snacks are also inexpensive! Theres lots of free parking around the location, especially after 6. Give this local business a try, they are making improvements to this historic Gem and doing a great job at it!

An amazing part of our community! Was here for an event again today. Love when this venue hosts!

A movie theater for human beings who love tradition and popcorn! Generally the highest quality films currently showing can be found here.

Good to see latest Oscar winner! Thanks for bringing it back! Enjoyed the art in the cafe too.

Cheap and comfortable. I loved that there was live music at the Theatre bar. It was great to have a drink after seeing a movie.

Soooo cute!! The cafe next to the theater is so good!! Live music performances all the time. Always fantasic films showing. There is something there for everyone.

The Little is one of the best theatres around! I am always so happy to support their business, I appreciate their abundance of indie films & playing the classics! the little cafe is also a cute spot to hang out, they have delicious food & beverages! definitely a great place for a movie & a hang.

Nice small theatre with a local charm to it. Recent renovations look great!

What an amazing, fun and full service theater experience that was! Sound was great, screen just right. Clean theater and bathrooms. I did not check out the cafe side but I enjoyed the family time. Everything was priced unbelievably low compared to most theaters right down to candy, popcorn and drink. Service was crazy friendly. Yay. Way to keep it alive, Little Theater!

The thing I love most about this theater is the sense of history and community. Every time I go, I not only get to enjoy a movie, but I get to feel a part of something. The prices are good, the staff seem to enjoy being there. It feels like such a treat to go, especially when the majority of the movies I see are at huge chains like AMC and Regal that ate nice, but dont give you that same sense of belonging as The Little does.

My favorite movie theater. Even though parking can be a bear, it is worth getting there early. People are friendly, prices good. real popcorn!

Loved this old time theater at cheap price. Brought back memories of the good old days.

Great first sold out show after remodeling. Joe Locke was great.

Great little venue. So many interesting films to see.

I always enjoy a trip to the LittleTheatre because the film selections are thought provoking, unique and refreshing. The food is delicious, staff is polite, facilities are clean.

Love the little. So many events and classics but also new films! Favorite date night spot

Enjoying a flick with my mate. Movie At Eternities gate.. Lovely music at the Cafe !! Yay !!

They show many films and have good prices. Food is fine with music too.

This was my all time favorite theater growing up. They were under construction this time, and we couldnt find the entrance. No signs. Movie was just starting. First time I ever walked out of a movie. Terrible. Very disappointing.

Great theater. Great people, prices and film selection.

Went there to see Big Blue Band (recommended). Venue is nice. Had the Tuscan sandwich which was good. Place is unassuming so dont expect a lot but is recommended.

Great films. Awesome music in the cafe. Delicious popcorn and desserts. Friendly and helpful employees!

My favorite movie theatre in Rochester, they have a good selection of foreign films.

HAD AN AWESOME TIME!

Nice small theater, only complaint is you cant drink out of the bottle when ordering bottled drinks but oh well.

Great movie theater, excellent older house style.

Delightful venue. We had supper, a movie, and live music. Nice evening

Great theater just watched Neil Youngs docu on his new album Colorado. Enjoyed our time there and an awesome movie.

Great theater I been there for their documentaries and movies love going when I get a chance great popcorn as well.

The Little Theater shows independent and foreign films on 5 screens. They are also host for many artistic events and film festivals. Dont expect to get gummy bears for your snack: in addition to great popcorn they have baked goods like the famed Nanaimo bar. They also have a cafe which often has live music. The down side: seats are not comfortable, and parking can be an issue.

Best theater crowd in town, awesome homemade concessions, cafe with food and beer, jazz bands, many special screenings and events.

Loved the atmosphere, great little place for a light meal and a movie.

Enjoyed dinner and wine! Movie was great! Service and staff exceptional.

Great little affordable place with interesting special shows

Great fresh popcorn! Not modern, but cozy place to see a movie.

Interesting variety of films. Small venue. Very reasonably priced.

One of the best kept secrets in Rochester. Great small town independent movie theatre. Lots of foreign and art films here as well as some popular stuff. Great little cafe attached, beer, wine and often live music.

While comfort is still an issue, one can not argue with the movies offered at The Little Theatre. Rochester residents would miss out on some spectacular films if not for The Little. Real butter on the popcorn, bakery treats, and more set the concessions apart from other theaters. I can’t wait to go see Purple Rain next week!

First time being there. Theater is cozy. Popcorn taste like heaven

Nice Clean & Friendly! BTW I saw Aretha Franklins Amazing Grace Her Singing Spirit AND The Beautiful Afros brought back precious memories of my youth!

The Little Theater has a great eatery and shows interesting films. Its a nice place to get away for a while and learn something or see films you wouldnt otherwise be able to.

Wonderful theater to hold an event, go for a coffee, or see a film. There is accessible parking in the lot and an accessible entrance. There is a steep ramp to go down into the theaters, so if you use a manual wheelchair be aware. Its not impossible to push up, but its not the easiest.The Little is renovating and actively working to be more accessible. If you dont want to see a film, the coffee shop is nice place to meet up with friends.

Love this place! It’s unique, creative, and so full of character. One of those places that really gives a lot to the community around it. Unique films with depth, indie pieces of art you won’t find anywhere else, community performances. I absolutely love this place.

There is no better theater than The Little. Now that Theater 1 has been fully renovated, you have no excuse not to go. The comfy seating (now with cupholders!), the cheap tasty eats (real butter on your popcorn!),and the atmosphere makes it the chillest theater in Rochester!

The Little shows great movies that the chain theaters do not show. The atmosphere is comfortable, and they have a good cafe for before, or after, drinks and food.

Its a lot like the old neighborhood movie house I grew up with. Cant wait to see the fully renovated main screen.

Great theater, awesome prices and their cafe and concession stand have great food

Such a beautiful, historic theater! Shows a lot films and events that you cant see anywhere else in town.

Nice place to chill out and listen to some good music!

Nice theater with a huge big screen. Pricing of snacks was very reasonable!

Fun place for artsy and trendy films. Good stuff in the cafe.

Really nice place in a perfect location with independent movies and shows some times. Gotta check it out!

Intimate setting to see top rated films.

Such amazing atmosphere and they play movies from years ago which lets you appreciate the cinematic adventure feel all over again with your favorite old movies that arent on the marque at other theatres

Great popcorn and movies. What more could you ask for.

Great place to see an indie flick that some of the smaller theaters pass up on playing.

A very nice and well maintained set of movie theaters showing the latest indie and documentary films. They also often show older movies as part of there rewind series. The front theater is a big old fashioned movie hall while the remaining theaters around back are more of a modern movie theater. If you are a fan of the cinematic arts, then the Little is a must!

Groovy theatre, great staff and fun location.

Great fun. Staff is wonderful.

First time there, would definitely go again!! Great prices and friendly employees!! Nice cafe with reasonable pricing!!

Just experienced Downton Abbey. It was great!

Good movies and has a place to eat before or after the movie, sometimes they have live music.

Its inexpensive. And the movie was good

Awesome as usual. And then Jane mutany playing afterword, topped it off just right

Ive been going here since I was little. Any excuse to see a movie here is worth the little drive. Puns intended

Great place for a date night.

Clean and always an enjoyable experience!

Everyone who works there is incredibly welcoming. They have a really great variety of movies that come there, and a bunch of great special screenings/events.Also the cafe features live music from time to time, which is a great way to spend an evening.

Great theater for art house and independent films. It has four cozy and kind of rustic little movie theaters. The staff is super friendly and there is a cafe on site that has food and live music. You can enjoy Rochester musicians for free every week.

Love the vintage look. They could use a little more diversity with their movie selection but convenient when in downtown Rochester.

The Architects lecture and slideshow was informative and interesting.

Very enjoyable! Newly renovated. Beautiful classic feel. They offer some great content you cant find many places.

There is no need for any other movie theatre in Rochester. The best movies, great cafe, live music, terrific staff, and simply the best popcorn. Everyone should consider membership. I’ve been a member of the Little since the beginning! It’s a crowning jewel of City living! Julie Holzbach

Just saw the Linda Ronstadt: The Sound of My Voice. I love The Little for bringing terrific features like this to Rochester ️

Great place go see desert rythyms

Best place for Independent films in Rochester, NY. The cafe offers live music from local artists.

Advanced viewing of Downton Abbey. Great setup

A small, local theater that provides a happy alternative to big chains, both in offerings and in atmosphere. Cant ask for anything more.

Historic indie theater. THE place to see indie movies in Rochester. Also the primary home for ImageOut, Rochesters LGBT film festival. If you have to have popcorn with your film, this is the place to go, as it is served with REAL butter here. There is also a cafe, and there is usually live music there at night.

Just no finer place in the nation than The Little Theatre in Rochester, NY!This is five-screen cinema complex featuring the best of independent and foreign films and documentaries as well.The Little Cafe is a great place to grab some food and to hear outstanding local musical talent. The Cafe also features an art gallery with rotatingThe Little Theatre is Rochesters cultural exclamation pint!

Cafe has an excellent vibe, great for live musicians.

The fabulous gem of Rochester. Best place to see movies you wont see at all the big chain theaters. Plus great snacks beside popcorn ( though they have great popcorn at better prices than the chains with real butter!), a cafe with decent food, wine and beer and music and art. This is our place, you should support them. They certainly deserve our support. The staff is all welcoming, knowledgeable, and friendly. Its great to go to a place that recognizes its regular patrons. Makes you feel special.

Lovely independent theater with a great movie selection and delicious popcorn - they butter it halfway through AND on top!

Interesting and beautiful movies, plus you can get something to eat before or after the movie.

The Little Theater is a gem in Rochester. Im proud to have it as a local theater and its always a treat to go!

Great local theater for indie films

Love it here. A true Rochester experience. :)

High quality locally owned independent art movie theatre. Best place to see new art film releases. Excellent attached café with light meals, good desserts, ample selection of coffee, tea, and beverages. Most nights live music is featured in the café. Gallery features artwork of local artists.

Lively venue in the city, offers foreign & independent films, film festivals, local music & art displays, Stevers dark chocolate covered pretzels, $5 Monday movie night, culture
