- The Brattle serves great beer. They usually have a couple of Cambridge Brewing beers on tap and big bottles from Pretty Things & Ipswich. Cheers!
Dana VillmoreJuly 6, 2015Fun place to see old movies on the big screen. Concessions are reasonably priced, too. Don't skip the popcorn with real butter :)
SundanceTVJuly 13, 2012This place is great for indie films, dusted-off classics, hilarious series, fun one-off events & and awesome visits. They also serve great beer!
Sonia SMay 8, 2018Such a cool theater! Tickets available for purchase at box office 30 minutes before showing; otherwise buy online with a fee.
It goes without saying that Brattle is the best. Keep an eye out for the weird theater and anything in October!

your go-to venue for classic, independent, international & documentary films. add a CBC brew & you're set.
Steve MJune 19, 2011A rare art house theater. Try picking a classic or foreign film you've never heard of before.

Lily BNovember 18, 2012Sit on the balcony to get away with laughing inappropriately during the movie. Catch their double features when you can!
Best seats in the house are in the front right or left of the balcony...nothing better in the whole area!
Eric OSeptember 5, 2014Check the calendar for upcoming films - but also events such as book signings!
Lauren PlavischJune 12, 2011They put real butter on the popcorn, and the beer selection is pretty fancy.
The FeastJune 7, 2011Screens classic films regularly. Go on the weekend for a double-feature matinee. Serves beer & wine.
FutureMAugust 8, 2011Over 100 years old, the Brattle Theatre is one of the few theaters in the country to still be using a projector behind the screen.
