Im so glad to I found this gem of a movie theater with affordable prices top-notch films in a beautiful art deco theater. Particularly with the pandemic right now its almost impossible to find a small family-run theater which is so exquisite. Going to the art deco theater is as much of a joy as watching the movie particularly because Ive regularly attended and volunteered and worked it at another Art Deco theater in northern California. I also appreciated the friendly nature of the staff there as at one point my phone died and the staff person at the time allowed me to use the phone there as well as charge my own phone so I can make a call for my ride. Be mindful of the fact though that at this theater there are no previews not even a few minutes worth so when I got there thinking there were previews I actually missed 10 minutes of the film but again the staff was impeccable and they offered to show me the first 10 minutes that I missed because it was the last screening of the day and the other films were not going to get out until much later.

Art Deco first run theatre just a great place to watch a movie. Megaplexes are not cool and charge too much. So if you find yourself in Brattleboro, see what is playing at the Patches.Two Thumbs Up!

The film was too loud. I had to leave about 30 minutes in to the movie. I sat around the lobby waiting on my wife and no one asked me if I needed any thing. There was a dog eating popcorn though, it was entertaining!

Great old theater. No problem finding a seat during the week, and always showing first run films. Only drawback I found was that the sound quality isnt the greatest, but still a very enjoyable experience.

The Latchis is a charming theater. Friendly local staff and a snack bar with handmade cookies and brewers yeast to add to popcorn! Upstairs theater could use a seating upgrade. But overall I highly recommend.

One of my favourite movie theatres. Get supper next door at the coop, and stay upstairs at the hotel!

Ive been seeing movies at The Latchis for 30 years. They have consistently shown high quality films, even when theyre not that popular, and always get the best crowd pleasers as well. The smaller screen rooms upstairs obviously arent as impressive as the big main room but Latchis still gets a solid 5 stars from me!

The latchis theater is an underwhelming movie theater, but for Brattleboro it is what they need.

The Latchis is one of my favorite classic movie theaters anywhere in the country honestly. I grew up in between nearby South Newfane and Brooklyn, NYC, so I had been going to see movies at the Latchis since the late 70s. BEFORE they subdivided upstairs into the smaller theaters, BEFORE the renovations, and BEFORE the Hotel re-opened. My favorite elements have always been the Grecian relief murals and the Zodiac ceiling fresco. I remember in fact, before they renovated and the ceiling had all these horrific water stains, and the fresco was more black than blue and the interior was dingy. Nice to see it restored to its full former glory. Brattleboro is one of my all-time favorite small towns, and its appropriate that The Latchis should be located there.

Beautiful historic old theater with modern digital AV upgrades, but the best thing about this place is the phenomenal popcorn.I toss some nutritional yeast on there. Thats just the wild kind of guy I am.

The Latchis Theatre is a historic building and a must-see for anyone wanting to experience what the old days were like in large theaters. Operated by a local arts non-profit you can feel good supporting a local operation. Next door to SuperFresh organic vegan restaurant and about a minute walk to the Brattleboro Food Coop where you can catch dinner before a show. Bring CASH as they do not accept credit cards.

Really great place for a date, the seats are small but comfortable enough if you have your arm around someone. Its definitely a down home local theater where its never that crowded and its never too expensive. I highly recommend it, if not for the great affordable cinematic experience, then for the beautifully restored astrological artwork hiding in every corner.

What are incredible and Historic Landmark the Latchis Theater is in Brattleboro Vermont. Constructed in the 1930s in a wonderful Art Deco fashion Its a wonderful local resource for numerous venues such as live theater & music. Plus the attached Hotel. If you are taking in the decor be sure to see the hotel lobby too.

We love going to the Latchis. The main theater is amazing, the fountain (#3), and the balcony room (#2) both have some great spots to watch movies and be comfortable. We dont attend often if the movie is being played in #4 (very tight seating, uncomfortable room). Very nice staff and we can usually find a movie that we want to see! Enjoy!

I went to see a movie tonight and it was great. But the delicious cookies they had up front were not, as I bit into it and a long dark hair was baked into it. It was caked into the point where I couldnt even remove it so it wasnt mine. I didnt complain because I get that things happen but people need to know. Also, I saw a mouse crawling into the seat...again, I understand this is an old building but come on. Ive had better experiences and this wasnt one. Im pretty understanding but if this happened to another customer they may have made a huge stink. I wouldnt let the girl baking these cookies not use a hair net again because it could really be an issue next time with someone else...

Lovely theater in downtown Bennington. Reminded us of our hometown theater in the 60s, balcony and all. Watched A Star Is Born which I believe is the 4th remake. Thanks for a fun night in Vermont!

Lovely architectural and social character, vibrant with community life. Not superb from a purely theatrical perspective in that the screen is not as big as many theaters, and the sound system not as modern. But the overall experience makes this a top notch theater.

Review №46

Whenever they decide to have a popular new movie when it first comes out, they will have lines forming outside the door. Instead they VERY RARELY play the most popular movies that are coming out until or that have just come out until 2 or 3 weeks after they release; which makes them not get much profit from those movies. They have a very poor choice of movie selections when it comes to new releases. I wish this place closed instead of the other theatres in town.

Review №47

The Latchis is a very nice theatre. I have been there many times and I am always at least fairly comfortable and warm, despite what others have said. They show good movies and the price to get in is fair. But the downside is that the popcorn and other complementaries are really expensive for their quality.

Review №52

Great for movies and live performances, although I gave only four stars because it seems like the vast majority of movies that are shown are R rated, or if not, they still have plots or themes that I dont go to to avoid watching something depressing and/or violent.Id love to see more movie shown that arent going for the pulls of death, explosions, terror, torture, etc.What happened to comedies? I personally enjoy going to the movies and laughing.Otherwise: realistic and reasonable ticket prices with nice deals on the matinees. Of course, snacks at a theater are always expensive, but the Latchis has more reasonable prices within this realm.Once I learned that the entire ticket price went right to the production studio for weeks if not months of the beginning of the showing of a film, I was much more relaxed about the snack prices.Great acoustics and beautiful restoration of the main theater.I very much appreciate that Brattleboro has been able to keep this gem.

Quality popular as well as indy/art house films shown at reasonable prices in a clean, comfortable environment restored to its beautifully sculptured historic grandeur. Occasional film festivals and special weekend presentations add to the mix. Tasty pastries for sale. This would be a go-to venue for a quality film experience anywhere in the country (NYC included!).

Great theatre, with cheap prices. Mainly for local people, wouldn’t drive more than I need to to get to this theatre if there’s a cinemark, but if your around 30m away, or less, I’d recommend it for just a good time.

One of my favorite things about Brattleboro...you can go to the Latchis on opening night of the new Star Wars movie (or whatever blockbuster suits your fancy) and still get great seats in a beautiful theatre. Popcorn is affordable, people are friendly... everything a small town theatre should be.

The theater is small and nice but the seats make everything feel awkward. There were no cup holders for drinks and the screens were awkward. Nice if you like historical businesses but if you like seeing a movie try going to a bigger movie theater like an AMC.

I grew up in Brattleboro and have been to Latchis an unimaginable amount of times. Lastnight, I went with my mother and my daughter and we decided upon Latchis as the 8:55 pm show was a perfect time for us. The quality of the screen and movie was good, but we were seated in theatre 4 which was a room I had never known to exist. The theater was literally thrown together in like one day. The maybe 40 seats were like those that one would rent from a Party Rental vendor, and the stairs were cheap and metal (also like those of a rental vendor for an amusement park or something). Everytime someone got up to use the bathroom, they had to walk up the extremely noisy metal stairs which was SUPER obnoxious. The only thing that saved the night was that the movie was good. I rarely go to the movies and was looking forward to doing so, but if I had to see one in theatre 4 again, I would DEFINITELY pass. Pretty disappointing.

This is a good theater. Everyone that says it sucks and dont know how they make money. It is an old building and the got better movies since the other theater in town closed. They try and people need to remember that its a very old building. I agree it could use some maintance, it does get chilly. I have been in some really bad theaters and some really awesome ones. This one is old and feels that way. If you dont like it go somewhere else where people are rude and jerks.

Review №88

These guys would not let me and my son on to the movies because we didnt have cash. We came in from out of town, and even though I checked their website and read the about page unless you actually click the ticket tab you would never new. Having two credit cards but no cash we where sent away... The place owns a motel but could not find any way to let us in? I hope the place gets busted for tax evasion and shut down. What kind of way is that to run a business as the only movie theater in the area; their business model might work for them but not for me. They should have plastered all over their website and first thing when you call their number cash only. Yes I called the number too and after hearing my playtime hung up the phone. I wonder how many shmoes have suffered my same woes.
