Reviews of Red River Theatres Inc. (Movie Theater)

Amber Nicole Cannan

Small two theater venue in downtown concord. Great offerings at concession including fancy chocolates and ice cream sandwiches. Some special showings include adult beer and wine, be sure to bring your ID for these or they wont allow you in. Comfortable seats and great staff. Very clean ????

Zach Naylor

Red River is the place for great movies in intimate settings. Not just standard Hollywood fare but films that can make you think. Right downtown in Concord

alex

A fantastic place to support the arts and watch great films. Beyond that, they offer great events and fun themed nights, including a BYOB night - Bring Your Own Baby! A comfortable movie going experience where parents can bring their babies without worry, watch a film with other parents, and enjoy a night out even when they can't find a babysitter. Pretty neat!

Mark Tierney

Concord has improved significantly since I was a kid and Red River Theatres was one of the first places that started to help Concord go in that direction with more local activities. They have great movies and events, some with film stars attending a questionnaire panel.

Jon "maddog" Hall

Awesome place for Indie movies you can't find anywhere except Cambridge and (sometimes) Wilton. VERY comfortable seats. Handy to many restaurants. Love this place!

Carole Soule

Fantastic theater. Plays the smaller (better) movies you won't find at the bigger theaters. Just get there a little early to get a decent seat.

Meg Trainor

It's all about the atmosphere. If you love film, especially smaller run indie type stuff, this place is phenomenal. Plus, you gotta love enjoying a beer with your movie.

Susanne M.

Wonderful small theater, always an enjoyable experience, neat to see independent films get some recognition!

Chris Blodgett

Wonderful indie movie house. Popcorn delicious with real butter and often free for members. Comfortable seats. Concessions include sandwiches from Concord Co-op, Blake's Turkey farm entrees, Granite State Candy plus craft brews (beer), wine, and ciders. Good movie and free popcorn for members!

Adam Kingsbury

Nice quality movie experience. Small, but super clean and priced great. Great way to see some movies that don't play in the big theatres.

Chris Moore

Small, excellent theatre with multiple screens that shows interesting movies "outside the box". An added plus is being able to order and drink beer and wine in the theatre.

Chris Jackson

I love this independent theater. Go there, they have Great seats, concessions including beer and wine and they get films the big theaters don't.

TD R57

The screens are terrible, the concession portions are petite at best and the theaters are small. What I DO like is that Red River frequently has special events and cult classic showings that are a blast to attend.

Julie Mosher

Great theaters with comfortable seating - stadium style. Lots of good movies, some not shown in the mega theater complexes. Quality entertainment within walking distance to many downtown restaurants.

Carolyn Egan

Concord is lucky to have a place like this. I have never been to a movie here and regretted it. Excellent selection of films and some of the best popcorn I've ever tasted. They also have a great selection of local beer and cider.

leon Parker

Nice little theater complex. Plenty of parking in the attached garage. Every now and then has unique films. Very comfortable. Concord coop is accross the street for a little organic nosh if you like. Walking distance to some nice shops.

Erika Rydberg-Hall

I love having a local indie cinema, where you can see movies & documentaries not shown in the mainstream theaters. RR is clean, with comfortable seating, and it's the only theater w/fresh popcorn & real butter. One serious flaw: the atmosphere is not an all-inclusive one; Red River, like most art-house cinemas, have an unwillingness to screen any movie or doc that management feels has a questioning or conservative slant, and may reflect viewpoints, interests, & concerns that may be different from those of the "s.j.w." position. Why not be truly independent, show a wider range of experience, and let your audiences come to their own conclusions?

Susan Delaney

Very nice theater, but since it's usually an older crowd, you have to be completely silent or the people around don't tolerate anything above a soft whisper and can be rude. It's nice to have food &wine in comfy chairs!

Jennifer Schelly

Excellent theatre, really comfortable seating, and they serve local Concord Craft Brewing Town Pound Porter !!! It doesn't get better than that !

Abigail McShinsky

Red River is much more than a "place to see a movie". It has a more personal appeal from the films that are showing to the community involvement that is unique to Concord and beyond. The staff aren't just taking your ticket stub- they are present if you need anything from information to the concessions. If you haven't been there yet, I recommend checking out the schedule of films. You will be pleased...

Jerry Ochs

A great place to see movies that may not be in the mainstream. Great tiered seating arrangements in the main theatres. Friendly staff, good refreshments. Good variety of movie genres and special events.

Bill Kuch

Enjoyable movie theater, good popcorn; however, not fond of the "co-ed" bathroom situation and it would be nice for us more conservative people to ALSO have a choice of not sharing "every" experience.

Susie Goodwin (Tiger2010)

Best selection of films that you can't see in most other theaters. Three beautiful theatres and very comfortable. They have fun and interesting quote along and sing along events that are great with props and trivia! I have been a volunteer there for over two years and I highly recommend Red River Theatres.

Kimberly R. Edwards CPA

Smaller theater makes for a more intimate experience. Seats recline and are comfortable. Alcholic beverages served at the snack bar. At $11 per ticket it's less expensive than a big theater.

Kristopher Amar

Great local theater that provides access to artistic, edgy and interesting films. Alcohol is served. The location is easy to find, we'll managed a great overall experience.

Justin Normand

Great venue for movies not normally available. Went to see RBG, a good tribute to a judge i usually disagree with but who has done great service throughout her career fighting discrimination in all forms. Red River membership is inexpensive and even for none members prices are a bargain.

Shay Cameron

The best theater in New Hampshire. Always has a wonderful selection of indie and art house movies as well as comfortable seats and quality concessions. It also is attached to the parking garage which is great in cold weather.

Peter Capano

You can't beat this place for comfort, affordability, tastefulness of film fare and location. If you're anywhere in NH, it's worth the trip due to mid-state location and films you won't see anywhere else.

Alan Ouellette

So very good. Easy access, excellent little theater this time and will try for the larger one next time, good snacks and great help. I will return lots--it's now my 'go to' theater!

Calvin Finemore

The best! They have wine and the best popcorn. And play only indie movies you can't see anyplace else. This is not your traditional movie going experience with teenagers loiters and people drinking 30 oz. of mountain dew - much quieter atmosphere. Highly recommend it!

Steven Foley

I'm giving this place 3 stars. The theatre istelf is fine - it was everything you'd want from a movie theatre and it looks like they have cool and interesting events and films all the time. Honestly, this place is a great idea and other than my personal experience, I think anybody would have a great time here. But. I arrived to the theatre with a 6 pack of beers. I didn't purchase my own tickets to the event and was told it was BYOB. When an employee asked me to return it to my car, I complied and returned it with no problem. Then I came back and went to purchase alcohol, and this is where my night was ruined. The employee at the register tells me she has the right to refuse any customer alcohol. I asked why, and she repeated the policy to me. The movie was beginning in three minutes, my wife was waiting in the theatre, I didn't want to make a scene, I clearly had no power in the situation, and apparently I had done something wrong, so I just walked away. It wasn't that I wanted alcohol so badly that not having it ruined my night. I wasn't drunk when I showed up, I was actually to be my group's DD (the beers we're for my wife more than anything). What made me angry is that this employee, who I thought was the manager at the time, just decided that I was being a problem and applied a policy to me with zero oversight. I approached the employee after the movie and got the same repetition of the policy over and over. I told her I understood the policy but wished to know why it was applied to me and asked for a manager. The manager was very nice and apologetic. I regret not asking for her before the movie at this point, but she refunded my wife's money and was very understanding. It's not like I want the employee fired, but I think the theatre needs to revamp how they apply this policy as essentially accusing me of being drunk when I wasn't was embarrassing and ruined my night with no reason or recourse. I understand not wanting already drunk people to get more drunk, but I also don't think I presented myself as drunk when I arrived and watched moviegoers getting refills all night -pregaming is not ok here but getting tanked at the show is. I understand that liquor laws are strict, but you can't just arbitrarily let employees alienate customers at their own obviously flawed judgement.

Andrew Mack

Love Red River Theatre! They have the best seating AND you can drink wine while you watch great movies. A marvelous experience.

Elsa Johnson

This is a great place to see independent films,...seating is spacious and comfortable in a "stadium" style seating structure. I especially enjoy having the popcorn and a beer while enjoying some amazing films (Chef; Brooklyn; etc.)

Killian Wallace

Really great movies and they take safety of everyone very seriously during the pandemic. Awesome cookies too!

Cierra Sipley

Truly the perfect movie theater for any movie buffs. They play all of the Indie movies from Sundance and Cannes that go on to win Oscars that you can't watch anywhere else. Everyone there appreciates the art to the full extent so you don't have to worry about disruptive people. The atmosphere is relaxing and the beer and wine is great.

Caroline Boyd

Don't listen to Dino Romano about the sound. Every time he comes in, he's sloppy drunk and probably doesn't hear the employees asking him to put his pants back on either. This place is great, and you'll be sure to meet the next love of your life there.

Jane Davis

First time here, we went on a Saturday night, highly recommend advance tickets, only 24 seats in the theater!!I intimate setting, comfortable seats, some had attached tables, you can have wine/ beer as u watch

Karina Kelley

Very nice seating, ambiance, sound and screen size. Clean interior/yard needed some sprucing up. Friendly and helpful staff. However, paying 4 bucks for a 12 oz soda is a BIT TOO MUCH. Didn't bother with popcorn or candies and if your rate for concessions been more reasonable then I would of given a 5 star rating.

Susan

It's always a treat to enjoy an indie film or other off-beat selection at Red River Theatres! They are currently requiring masks at all times, including while seated at the film, and there are no concessions. It's a bit of a pain, but totally worth it to be able to attend this intimate theatre. Parking is easy from the garage on Storrs St.

Matthew White

Small local theater well priced they use real butter for the popcorn. The staff is always friendly the theater is always clean the seating is comfortable.

Stacey Gifford

Such a cool little independent theater! Hidden away in part of Concord's downtown. Cafe has a few sandwiches for lunch, popcorn, and candy. They even have local candies.

Darvi Rosenberg

Awesome theatre with great independent films. The seating is comfortable and they sell beer AND popcorn... What else could you need?!

Justin Bradley

We are so lucky to have Red River Theatres. We love the mix of films it brings to Concord, the special events, the intimate atmosphere and its unique and affordable concessions. It is one of the cultural treasures of our community.

charlie M.

Great atmosphere, smaller screens and less seating, but nicely taken care of. Wine, beer, chips and salsa, and even mac and cheese are offered. Red River shows movies you can't find elsewhere, has a specific day/time that new mom's can meet up with their babies to see a movie, and even have special events such as a red carpet Oscar party with dancing, food, and trivia!

Matthew Bishop

Excellent theater offering some unique films that otherwise you would have to travel to Boston or another big city to see! Very comfortable seats. Pricing is competitive. They also have some of, if not THE, best popcorn a movie theater could possibly have.

Alexander H

A great place to see an independent film or ones that the chain theaters don't show. Good prices and a small, cozy venue.

Nathan Wallace

I went to see The Last Black Man in San Francisco. The man at the counter was incredibly helpful and provided excellent customer service. The theater was almost impeccably clean, the popcorn was decidedly fresh, and the fountain machine tasted like it was freshly cleaned. I have never been disappointed by this theater and this trend continues to this day. Please keep up the good work!!!

Thomas Kuhner

Refreshments are pretty standard but they melt real butter on the popcorn! Nice and local. Lots of small/indie style movies you can't find at other theaters. I'd recommend visiting.

Mark

A great venue for Indie films. The seats are comfortable and the concession includes beer and wine along with cinema staples and quality sandwiches provided by a local sandwhich shop.

Kyle Taylor

Awesome. This place is a treasure and you can tell the people behind it are really passionate about what they do. They definitely show the off beat movies that aren't going to be shown at your nearest megaplex theater but also put on a number of special events and special features throughout the year. Ordering beer/wine is an added bonus

C

Always a pleasure. So happy that they have been able to reopen there doors! This is local cinema at it's finest and the staff here curate such a rounded experience of going out to see a film. Glad to be the space again.

Christopher Jewell

Watched Little Women. Theater is very friendly and intimate. They show mostly indie films with the rare exception such as the one we saw.

Jeff Schou

We just went for their special Butter Together event where 2 folks could rent the theater for the evening. We had such an awesome experience from start to finish. It was a memorable time at Red River having the theater to ourselves after one year of only at home media complete with cute signs and kindness from arrival. Last year we went for Parasite around the same time of year and had an excellent time - it was the last place we went to see a film prior to Covid. We typically go to the movies at least once a month, and ended up at Red River 90% of the time back in the old times. Just here to say we love our local non profit indie cinema and we hope they're able to ride out this storm.

Jonathan Richardson

What's not to love: good movies, wine, comfortable reclining chairs, and the best movie theatre popcorn. Really nice place, never had a bad experience.

Christopher Sill

Not only do they sell local chocolate and wine in their concessions, but they open a real velvet curtain for the movies shown! Seats are comfortable and tickets reasonably priced. This is a real community builder in addition to a modern theater experience. Clean bathrooms, fun decorating. If you haven't been you are missing out.

Steven Lundahl

Wonderful theatre with great stadium seating so every seat has a clear view no matter who is in front of you. They have great movie choices. Just saw Black Klansman by Spike Lee...a must see movie of our times.

Matthew Dempsey

Favorite cinema in the state. Doesn't show big budget blockbusters, better suited for independent films for movie lovers who appreciate the art of film making. Local beers, good snacks and spotless theaters.

Becky Yardley

We love this theater!! The movie choices are great, the staff is friendly, it's clean and you can access it directly from the parking garage.

Daniel Walsh

Love that some of the rooms have a more intimate feel with fewer seats and closer to the screen. Really enjoy going here, versus a traditional movie theatre
