But in the meantime… If you’re as concerned about the future of Arts & Culture in BC as we are, please take a look at the petition we have launched, imploring the Ministry of Health to correctly classify cinemas alongside businesses like bars and restaurants.

The Rio Theatre

Voted the #1 Independent Theatre in Vancouver, the Rio Theatre is a multimedia venue featuring arthouse, mainstream and cult-classic cinemas as well as live entertainment. Built in 1938, the Rio has been fully restored with a state of the art digital projector, surround sound, a huge stage and 420 luxurious seats.

In 2012, The Rio won a hard fought battle with the BC Liquor board, to change the liquor laws so that movie theatres could serve alcohol. We now feature an array of local craft beer & cider, local organic wines, mixed drinks & cocktails as well as buttery popcorn, grilled cheese sandwiches, and candy.
