A really fun place to go if you like old fashioned theatres or if you've got kids and want them to experience the closest thing to retro theatre visits. They've got beer and you can season your own popcorn. The best view is from the balcony. The people that run the place seem to play whatever they feel like (in a fun surprise sort of way) so checking the site for the month's showings or getting a paper calendar is helpful. They have memberships which equate to a year of tickets, redeemable for any movie within that year. Its not wheelchair accessible, you have to climb steps to get into the theatre.

The only real limitations if he Brattle are those of the 300-plus year old building. The screen isn't very large for a room it's size, and the layout isn't the best, but this is a wonderful theatre otherwise. The staff are friendly and full of personality, the schedule is eclectic and loaded with unique experiences, and the crowds are usually conducive to the experience they're looking for. Highly recommended.

The Brattle is a great place to go playing indie films as well as last viewings of recent in theater films and, cult classics alike. Some films mostly cult classics you can expect audience participation similar to a sort of mystery science theater 3000. That's not to say that it's always like this though. I personally love this place. I've been seeing films here since I was a kid. They serve beer and wine as well as real butter on their popcorn. They do a lot of rare 35mm as well. Just a great place to have a great time

The Brattle Theater is a fantastic monument to a bygone age. The active volunteer and non-profit group that runs it is always coming up with new interesting programming and the concessions are both reasonably priced and excellent. Always fresh popcorn, and now beer wine and hard cider selections.
