Bernie’s Kitchen | Bar| Cinema is a boutique theatre experience in downtown Kelowna, BC. Our screen plays a mix of retro and new(ish)-release films, and yes, you can enjoy them with some top-notch food and drink!

We’re excited to bring the movies back to Bernard Ave., but we also love a great meal. The first floor and mezzanine at Bernie’s are where you’ll find artisan cocktails, one-of-a-kind wines, local craft beer, and truly tasty dishes. Our dinner menu is a uniquely Justin Best creation, with influences from all over the Spanish diaspora and beyond.

Head up one more flight of stairs from the restaurant to find a cinema like no other. Comfortable and stylish seating, food and beverage options outside the concession norm (don’t worry, we’ve got the classics too), and of course, motion pictures that are sure to entertain!

Visit us at Bernie’s on Bernard for an unparalleled experience in the Okanagan. We’ll see you at the movies.

    This is the 1st average experience that we have had at Bernie’s. It was a Valentines dinner special. The meal sounded and looked delicious…. The dinner was not cheap. Unfortunately, the meal itself arrived at the table…. Warm at best. I think this may have put me off…. As I just didn’t think the value for the meal was there, which was very disappointing. The multiple staff were amazing as usual. In the end, I’d still recommend this restaurant and am hoping this Valentine’s dinner was just an anomaly.

    Great vibe, very quick and kind service, off menu cocktails not always the most consistent but that seems valid. A lot more seating options than expected, and a great location.

    It’s a lovely place to eat. However although the food was tasty and flavorful, it was lukewarm when it came to the table. Had the food been hot I’d given it four stars for sure.

    Food was fabulous. Service was great, accommodating, but a wee bit slow. Ambience was really nice, tho the area we were in was rather dark... we saw a patron slip on the floor near us, possibly due to the lighting being so low in that area

    Thank-you for your review, ian! We really appreciate you taking the time to share all of this feedback. I'm glad you enjoyed your meal, and grateful that you've given us a couple of things to work on. Cheers!

    The King Salmon was a perfect choice for me: well-balanced with the lentils and root vegetables and tasty sauce. My friend seemed completely engrossed in the Mussels & Clams. The desserts were also a treat. Kenya provided excellent service from start to finish with others bringing food items the moment they were ready. The music mix was spot on and it was nice that we could easily hear each other across the table.
    Bernie'sResponded on 5 February 2025
    This is all wonderful to hear, John! Thank-you. Really happy to know your enjoyed your visit. I'll make sure to pass your compliments along to Kenya and the kitchen team - thank-you for taking the time to share them!

    Liked the atmosphere. But the food wasn’t so good. The burger buns were very soggy and the soup for the dine around was good in taste but only a skim was served kind of also seamed like the staff was in prepared.
    Bernie'sResponded on 4 February 2025
    Hi Lance, I'm very sorry to hear about this experience you had. It certainly does not reflect the high standards for which we strive, and I apologize that we fell short. I'll be sure to share this feedback with our management team so we can learn and do better. Thank-you for bringing it all to our attention.
