Beloved Vancouver institution the RIO Theatre, our iconic independent movie house, took some time off during the pandemic and briefly re-opened as a sports bar, but is now back and better than ever for the month of July.

The staff is renowned for its expertly curated mix of new releases, cult classics, and esoteric indies, so there’s something for everyone—the July lineup features Dazed and Confused (July 1), New Order (July 2), JAWS (July 2 & 4) and Pulp Fiction (July 9), with more titles being scheduled every day.

Plus, after a hard-fought battle with the B.C. legislature, the RIO won the right to serve alcohol, and now boasts an impressive craft beer selection.
