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.
West Street Grille
West Street Grille serves American cuisine with a touch of flair. Their menu features a wide variety of dishes to suit every taste, including gluten free options. They also have a small bar with beer, wine, and cocktails.
Roots
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.
Mad Rose
Craft cocktail and small plates lounge in downtown Rutland. It's a few doors down from the theater and has a nice atmosphere for a pre or post show cocktails, a draft beer, or small bite to eat.
