The Rialto Theatre

Fun, just the right size live music venue with a well-stocked bar! Great decor, vibe and historical interest. Sound quality was excellent too without crushing volume.

What an amazing place. Amazing local talent. songstress jo was unbelievable. Hansen Risley is a must see. You have to go and check the Rialto out. They always have something going on.

Wow -- A hidden gem in Kenmore! We saw Sports Team perform a mini-concert there, and what a cool vibe! I'll definitely be back.

This was my husband and I’d first time coming here. We are new to Akron and we have started branching out to other comities within Akron itself. We visited the Rialto Theatre because our friends band Black Wolf & The Thief had a show there. I really liked the vibe of this place, was expecting it to be a bit bigger on the inside but at the same time it was very intimate. The food and drinks were delicious. We had fun doing trivia and the bartender was very friendly.

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 for a music show (Glass Shadow). Looking forward to checking out the swing dance nights. Friendly bartender. Great selection of drinks.

My brother did a poetry feature for Angry Cow Poetry. Small intimate place; nice atmosphere. Nice bar with a stage and a few tables up front. Bar and bigger concert type stage in the back.

Great atmosphere, great live music scene, a true gem amongst Kenmore Blvd. Not to mention, the BEST concert bathrooms you will ever use, very clean!
The venue has a bar, and a Panini Restaurant in case you're hungry.

It is fun. 2 rooms both with bars and stage area. Good food. Cool feel and look. Good food.

Cool little place to catch a band! There's some parking on the street and a parking lot near by making it nice to see a show!

Great place, went to go see my cousin and his band play. The servers were friendly and the beverages were decently priced!

Cool little place. Comfortable atmosphere with cozy lighting, interesting artwork all over the walls, a variety of shows and events (including swing dancing), and a very friendly staff!

Best venue in Akron without a doubt. Seth, Nate & the rest of the staff are the best in the business.

Went to see The Shootouts, I had a fun evening. I was worried about parking on street but there is a lot in back.

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.

Wonder small venue in the newly developed Kenmore Arts District. A wide variety of Music, art, theatre, and dance events, all with a delightful local flavor. Friendly, knowledgeable staff and reasonable prices.

Really great venue. Great sound, great bands, great food!

Lovely venue that utilized its small space effectively. The sandwiches before the show were great!

The Rialto Theatre is a quaint, cozy place with a stage in the back and a small stage in front. It's in an artsy community, which I liked. I was there for Angry Cow poetry that they will be hosting on the first Weds of each month. The audience was engaged. We had great conversation. He owners were personable. They have art from local artists all around. I'll definitely be back.

This venue is awesome! From the warm welcome at the door (which required proof of Covid vaccine or a negative test) to the friendly bartender and the large area to watch bands - this is a great place to see a show. We went for my son's band, Perfect Girl, but we'd definitely go back for other bands because of the way the venue is run. Thanks, Rialto staff!
