📍1660 E Broadway, East Vancouver

For clients craving offbeat energy, quirky conversation, and a splash of rebellion, the Rio Theatre delivers a nightlife experience where cinema meets cabaret. With its midnight cult classics, LGBTQ+ theme nights, burlesque showcases, and licensed bar, this venue redefines what it means to go out for a movie.

A Playground for the Bold and Curious

Rio Theatre’s programming reads like a love letter to weird and wonderful cinema: think The Rocky Horror Picture Show with live audience participation, drag-themed movie marathons, or B-movie double features that embrace kitsch with charisma. Every screening is more than a sit-down—it’s an event, a gathering of Vancouver’s most expressive and unapologetic personalities.

Drinks are served directly in the theatre, and costumes are often encouraged, especially for themed nights.

Ideal Escort Match: Playful, Bold, and Fearlessly Theatrical

This venue is best enjoyed with a punk-rock muse, a burlesque-minded performer, or an expressive, cosplay-ready companion who thrives on performance, laughter, and late-night adventures. She’s the kind of date who brings glitter, wit, and unexpected charm—and isn’t afraid to dance in the aisle when the moment calls for it.

Extended Nightlife: Bar-Hopping & Roleplay Rendezvous

After the show, head to one of East Van’s nearby dive bars or cocktail lounges to keep the playful mood going. Or take things up a notch with a costume-themed date—whether it’s sci-fi cosplay, vintage cabaret, or movie character reenactment, this kind of pairing brings out the best in adventurous, open-minded clients.
