Thanks to Covid19, one of the iconic venue of cult movies in Vancouver has been now turned into a \sports bar\. You can grab some beers, hard liquor drinks, and popcorn and watch games on the big screen. Once you enter, you are ushered to your seat, then you can come out, place order and go in again. Pros - Good social distancing and signage, pricing on beers and single drinks is 6 and double is 9, clean seating, lobby, and washrooms, friendly bar staff and manager guy, drinks and snacks are served at your seat. Cons - Food menu limited to popcorn and snacks, borderline standoffish behaviour from young guy at door when entering, and was asked to finish my second drink and leave within 15 mins as they had a private event starting in 30 mins. No notice of such event at entrance or anywhere inside, and wasn't told so by bartenders when ordering either. Plenty of better options with better service, extensive food and drinks menu available on Commercial Drive, this is good for a one time visit only if you want to experience the 'revamp'.

The Rio is my favourite theatre in Vancouver. Was able to see a number of movies over the summer and felt safe doing it. They were able to implement covid safe protocols that kept guests apart. Also a great \Sport Bar\ but looking forward to it being a theatre again. 10/10. Also the ads featuring the staff are hilarious.
Just recently attended the Royal Rumble at the Rio \Sports Bar\. Had an amazing experience. The covid 19 protocols were perfectly in place and made me feel extremely safe. Thank you Rio Sports Bar for being amazing, as always.
The absolute best sports bar! What a perfect spot to slam back a few cold ones while watching sportsmen scoring points in their sports matches! Goooooo sports! Slam dunk! Home run! Grand slam! Hat trick!
Local theatre off the Drive that features so many great films! They run season flicks, film fest movies, and documentaries plus live shows. Rio also serves alcohol (wine, beer, and specials), grilled cheese sandwiches, and your usual movie fare of candy and popcorn.
