What People Are Saying
from Google & Yelp"Great little place behind the main theater. There’s music at the cafe almost every night. My favorite is the Classical Guitar night on the first Sunday of the month hosted by RCG. It’s a local organization that just aim to bring music into our lives. The Little Theater also hosts movies and documentaries for ImageOut Queer Film Fest and the Witness Palestine Film Festival. Thank you the Little for being such a beacon of community!"

The atmosphere is nice and the live music is pretty good."
