pre-show restaurants
Taco Fresco
This is the best Mexican spot in town and only a few doors down from the Paramount Theater. We love their tacos, enchiladas, fresh margaritas, cocktails, and draft beers too.
Hop'N Moose
This is a great pizza place for the family to grab a pie or snag a spot at the bar to enjoy a fresh draft beer from local favorite Rutland Beer Works before the show.
Brix Bistro
This is our favorite wine bar in downtown Rutland. This cozy spot has a great wine list, small plates, and comfortable vibe. Just around the corner from the Paramount.
Nonna's
A popular Italian spot next to the Paramount Theater. This spot offers reservations for groups of 6 or more!

Roots delivers minimally processed, locally grown food, including organic crops and humanely raised livestock. A short walk from the theater but worth it if you're looking for a great farm-to-table experience.
