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.

                                              We had a very enjoyable evening at Bernies, although it was a bit loud with a large table beside us. Our server, Kenya, was exceptional, very attentive but not overbearing. She had a good knowledge of both the drink and food menus and she was a pleasure . We enjoyed the meal, including the share plate and dessert.

                                              The new vegan and gluten-free peanut butter pie is to die, for it was the highlight of my night

                                              Lite bites in the restaurant before a classic movie with more snacks during the show. The food, cocktails & service were all very good. Loved the mushroom tacos and wagu beef dumplings! A bit on the pricy side for an evening out on the town.

                                              The food was excellent! But unfortunately, our server didn't have time for us. She had a large table and there wasn't time for the other three tables in her section. So our drinks sat empty and we had to flag down anyone to ask her to come to the table. I'm sure it was just because she was busy, she was very friendly, but it unfortunately, didn't make our evening as enjoyable as it could have been.

                                              Sandi, thank-you very much for taking the time to share your honest review with us. I'm really sorry we didn't take as good of care of you as we should have. It sounds like maybe our scheduling needs some adjustment to ensure we have the appropriate amount of staff on. I'll share this feedback with our GM. I'm glad to hear you enjoyed your meals, but apologize that we fell short elsewhere. I wish you didn't have to, but we do appreciate you bringing this to our attention and allowing us the opportunity to improve.
