Scene At Rialto Cinemas Cerrito

Beer and movies!!! And food and wine and pizza and popcorn and candy oh my!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Is that enough characters?

So a year later I came back to try the nachos and boy was I surprised. The nachos looked better than they tasted. Perhaps it was my fault for not paying close enough attention, but I did not know that I would need to be on the lookout for olives in my nachos. The darkness of the movie room did not help, I couldn't tell the difference between beans and olives, as well as cheese, chicken, or rice. I don't think that there was rice on the nachos, but I said what I said. As before, still love the ambience of this smaller movie theater. Enjoyed an adult beverage with my popcorn. The popcorn was consistent. Will return to avoid the crowds elsewhere, but will stick to popcorn.

Lovely little theater with good buttered popcorn and ginger beer/Izze's available to purchase. Love that they play films harder to find. I watched All of Us Strangers. The sound in the theater wasn't quite as good as I imagine it would be if we sat towards the middle of the theater(we sat in the back) but it wasn't a problem. Coming from three North Bay, it's nice to see these theaters really. Parking is tough. Most of the parking nearby have meters that to up to 3g Hrs

Updating because this place has just gotten better since my first time. The staff is friendly and they make sure no one misses any part of the movie. Food: Food is great, I love that they bring it to you during the showing. We have tried the nachos and the pizza. The nachos were packed with toppings (sorry I didn't get a photo) I believe it was white cheese, beans, guac, pico and olives if I remember correctly, they were very good just remember to grab some napkins. The pepperoni pizza is good as well. Perfect size for 2 people. We typically eat about half of it and take the other half home. They provide to go boxes in your way out. Each meal comes with 2 plates. Not sure if that's standard or if it's because there 2 in our party. Drinks: I enjoy the adult beverage options. The stout is perfect during winter, my fiancé enjoys the Hefe they usually have. Recently I've switched to Ace Ciders, their options sometime vary due to season but they tend to have 1 cider and they offer wine as well. Theater: There are 2 theaters. Any seat is good other than the front row if you older than 20. I've sat in the second row comfortably, and the back of the theater isn't a bad option either if you don't get the coveted middle aisle. My fiancé and I have been here a number of times during our 2 year stay and haven't had a bad experience since we found this gem. It's the part of the Bay Area that I'm going to to miss the most when I move back to So Cal.

First return to the Rialto since pandemic started. Happy how this theater has literally cleaned up its act: the greasy old upholstery chairs and funky tables that were up front are gone, yay! Great staff, tasty food. My only ding is for the dark projection. Was watching Barbie, which should be super colorful and bright, and the visuals were rather dark and dim. Does projector need a new bulb?
