Great rotating selection of beverages and snacks, with screenings of interest to a wide range of interests every month!
Upvoted Mar 23- 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.
Ari JonesAugust 7, 2014Old movies and cool special events. Beer, wine, and chocolate bars are great.- Now serving 5-6 varieties of Massachusetts-brewed Pretty Things beer in 22-ounce bottles, plus 3 Cambridge Brewing Company beers on tap, and red and white wine.
Best seats in the house are in the front right or left of the balcony...nothing better in the whole area!
Lily BNovember 18, 2012Sit on the balcony to get away with laughing inappropriately during the movie. Catch their double features when you can!
The FeastJune 7, 2011Screens classic films regularly. Go on the weekend for a double-feature matinee. Serves beer & wine.
Lauren PlavischJune 12, 2011They put real butter on the popcorn, and the beer selection is pretty fancy.
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.
robin cMarch 17, 2012The concession stand doesn't take Amex (despite them having the foursquare deal)!
