The Little Theatre is Rochester's classic art-house cinema, a small-scale cultural institution rather than a multiplex. Its screens, cafe, and live-music programming make it part of the East End's evening rhythm, especially for visitors who want something more local than a standard downtown bar stop.
It is most useful after the main museums have closed. Check the programme before going: the appeal is not just the building, but the chance to catch independent film, documentaries, or a local event in a venue that has been part of Rochester's cultural life for generations.
