Pauline's Bellows Falls Guidebook
Movie Theater in Bellows Falls
This renovated opera house is a wonderful movie theater. Playing first run films, and golden oldies like Close Encounters of the Third Kind (coming February 23, 2022) ticket prices are $6 all the time. With an excellent sound system and one of the largest screens in Vermont. They have a three-for-$5 snack offer that includes a medium soda, popcorn and candy of choice. It’s like being back in the 1970’s again.

A wonderful restaurant with roaring wood stove. The cuisine is spectacular and Leslie is a fab hostess. Leslie is ready to retire and sell this local landmark. Get there while it still exists.
