Reviews of Real Art Ways (Movie Theater)

IS GOOD

Melissa Freeman

We went to see the film about Maria Callas and everything about the experience was grand. The theater itself is very comfortable with wide roomy seats and a very good amount of legroom between rows. There isn't a bad seat in the house. Very friendly staff and a concession stand with beverages, food, candy and pop corn was a nice touch. Three art shows were going on too and it was nice to see local contemporary art. All in all, a very nice evening out. On the Monday we attended the show, the theater was not crowded at all. Strongly recommend this venue.

My home away from home. RAW is a treasure. Become a member!

Wayne Blecha

No place like it around

Daniel Sine

Basically one of the only games in town as a meeting place in Hartford for artists. Truly hope they start expanding to include younger and riskier artists. If/when they do, they'd get an easy five.

sasha davis

Nice space but very little privacy for our event.

Sharon Sklar

Tina Titus

Elle C Hall

Love see the diverse talents of many artists here. Watch independent films, take dance lessons, which I personally Love❤, see exhibits or try your hand at something new in the arts. I've heard from a few people that the creative cocktail hour is really fun to go to.

I attended a Connecticut poetry society event there, it was a great experience. I read a poem from my book titled just another hopefull fool in love, during the open mic, and had a great response. There were a number of great writers/poets in attendance. #justanotherhopefullfoolinlove

Dave St.Germain

Javier Johnson

Great art, and unique selection of independent films.

Bill Vallee

The Hartford region's only real indie film place, complete with an art gallery and a constant stream of excellent parties and get-togethers for the funkie crowd. A gem that is always worth visiting and enjoying a festival film or two. Beer and wine always served with cool chow, and a super crowd.

Joan Maloney

A place to see very good movies in comfortable seats.

John Kawecki

Fun place. Art films from Europe.Art openings from New emerging artists. Creative Thursday's with outdoor block parties bands food drinks. Plenty of parking in a remodeled factory off Park Street.near a fastrac station.

Ashley Gamache

Alcohol and movie! Not the best location and a little hard to find but good overall!

Jennifer Lauren Reynolds

Really enjoyed coming here for a limited run of a documentary. I like the owner's opening words a lot, added some nice context. And the beer selection is solid! Definitely looking forward to coming back.

Kimberly Goza

We were lucky enough to be in town for Bated Breath's theatrical piece inspired by the art exhibits. The performance was spot on. Real Art Ways is a treasure.

S.A. Donohue

Staff was great and the space is kept sparkling clean. I wasn't in love with the movie I saw, but I don't see that as a reflection on the theater...just my personal taste.

Christopher Benedetto

Amazing art

Lorraine Watt

This place is a gem in Hartford!

Hasan Riaz

I've lived in the Greater Hartford Area for 6 years, but didn't know this place existed until a couple weeks ago. This area is improving with time as more and more restaurants and bars open up in the area. Real Art Ways hosts trendy art expos and local movie screenings. Establishments like this could go a long way in rejuvenating the neighborhood.

Samuel Chase

Wonderful experience, great staff and move selection of drinks. Also good to note there is off Street parking, just be careful of oncoming traffic

Padmashree Ravikiran

I went to watch independent movie Valley of love. Friendly theater.

Don Palmer

Small movies and documentaries you won't see elsewhere. Good stuff.

Amy James

Wonderful arthouse cinema and gallery. Cool things/guests/events happen nearly every week.

Annmarie Hughes

Unique place for a wedding reception. Bathrooms well stocked. Appetizers excellent. Dinner food was less good.

a gem for exquisite films and thoughtful exhibits of local artists...At Enternity's Gate was a wonderful film on Vincent Van Gogh protrayed by William DeFoe with many excellent supporting actors. I'm looking forward to the upcoming Loving Vincent encore showing... the art exhibits were provocative & engaging.

Great place and amazing building. This building has lots of detail and amazing flooring. It also has a lot of history and it also has showcases for typewriters because it was an old factory.

Brian Harnedy II

Great place, just saw a fantastic documentary about free solo climbing. I would give 5 stars if they can streamline purchasing tickets and/or drinks etc.

Sarah Kilburn

A really nice change of pace for me. I used to frequent many clubs, bars and popular spots in and around Hartford and loved the diverse, energetic and exciting environments. However in the last 3 years so much has changed and I found myself people watching and also watching my watch to see if it was an appropriate time to leave...it just wasnt fun anymore. RAW aka Real Art Ways is a blast everytime! A limited but still adequate beer and wine selection with cocktails also available. Great conversation starters at every turn and I've just started going! I enjoy movies I would never think of watching a few months ago...I am so happy I joined and look forward to making the best of my membership!

Mark Gosselin

Steven Rothman

Unusual thought provoking films in an unusual thought provoking space.

Jesse Perez

Hipness

BigFatFuss StuntMonkey

Smaller, PERSONAL Art Space... Various Artists Showcased... Independent Films; New, Dated, Old, Virtage, Odd Topics, Documentary or other genres... Free Popcorn for the Movies !!! (if you bring a popcorn container) Occasionally, they host other activities (such as start/finish place for an ornamented organized Bicycle Ride around Hartford to the Riverfront to see Independence Day Fireworks)...

Darren Lowe

This theater shows excellent movies, often foreign movies, that are not shown in regular theaters because they are too "intellectual" for the enjoyment of the general public! A very refreshing experience. And their sound system is the only one that enable people with some hearing problems to understand the sound track but best is that most movies are sub-titled.

Peter Glass

Great place for art and great cafe for working and reading!!

adam adamewa

Excellent

Joseph Dickerson

Awesome place for a date or to meet someone to date. Great energy. Always fun.

Luis Velasquez

Ezra Crawford

The underground heart of Hartford. Experience the local culture catch an independent film or plan an event of your own. Vasu tribe and the 860 crew are in the building.

Mark Lawrence

Went to see movie nice theater the have a bar saw,some art while waiting and walked around with drinks. Good social place.

Candice Weigle-Spier

Great selection of films, exciting visual arts.

Cesar A. Lecaros

Awesome place...very kind people..

Marc Reich

A great alternative arts center with cinema nestled in a former typewriter R&D center (really!) in the Parkville neighborhood of Hartford. A bit off the beaten track but worth the few extra turns you'll need to make. The galleries are always interesting and the cinema offerings are top notch. Films you'd normally only find in much larger cities.

Joel Kelly

Great place to sit down for a coffee or watch a movie.
