A very good space for any event. DJ area, bar, dance floor and stage. Chairs and tables for the none dancers. Not bad.

I had such a fun night at the Rialto! I saw the Full Flavor and they were amazing. If you ever get a chance to see them live, do it! The theater is quaint, intimate, and perfect for shows.

The Rialto is in our neighborhood and it is a jewel. Very cool atmosphere. My favorite place to see bands play. Also a great place for community events. The owners are very cool, nice guys. Beautiful inside. Nice restrooms on the main floor. There is a bar with many beer varieties on tap as well as bottled beers, mixed drinks and wine. Well loved by the community and regulars as well as first time visitors who are always impressed. There is handicap parking in front, on the street. Definitely try out The Rialto Theatre! You will not be disappointed.

Great venue. Friendly staff. Located in a struggling but coming back to life neighborhood of Kenmore. Its starting to become a hip place, esp with Old 97 just a few blocks down. Venue is small but cozzy. Local bands, like super babes, play there. Usually a cover but to keep a gem like this operating is worth a few bucks

If you hosting an event that requires a stage, This is a good location. Attended the Global Mogul Opening of Akrons Hip Hop Gallery and the after party was here. Comfortable and inviting atmosphere

Fun night! Drinks were relatively reasonable. The Rialto Theater is pretty cool place with bar and stage in back, and quieter sitting area in the front. The bathrooms were remodeled, too dark to say if rest was.

Though i never been to a show, i talked to an employee and i was extremely impressed with the different artists that come in. They are always having shows, i have never seen anyone disrespect anyone nor the neighborhood. And i believe it is a hidden gem in Ohio

I’ve been going to Musica for years and it’s a great venue but I was blown away by the style of this place. I think it’s set up for music better. Everyone is super friendly. I hope more bands star coming here when they come to Akron.

Dark and dingy. Ive been there several times and all the shows were not worth going to Kenmore and dealing with the parking. The theater should close...again.

The refurbished and reinterpreted performance space of the same name of the original historical theatre, The Rialto Theatre is a beautiful, bigger-on-the-inside event space. With a full bar, local artwork, and small proscenium stage, the talented staff provides for whatever your event needs. They host concerts, plays, private events, fundraisers, etc. The Rialto Theatre is also the home of Just A Dream Entertainment, a full service recording studio for artists.

If you are a small band going on a semi local tour, this place is perfect for you to use as a tour stop! It has great acoustics, decent size stage and all lighting and visual effects needed! Also, there is a bar located inside as well. Moreover, there are 2 recording studios so you wont have to venture to record your next EP,single and/or album!

Went there for Sawyer Frederick concert for birthday, waited in line and when we finally got inside, they had 20 to 30 seats. I guess they expected us to stand for 3 hours to see show, I had total ankle replacement and our friend had back surgery, had this been communicated, would have never bought tickets, so needless to say, we had to walk out, no concert and lost our money. Terrible experience and will never go again and will tell everyone about the standing and no chairs!!! Ridiculous!!
