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.

Love the ambience with nostalgic pictures of movies stars and movie theatre lobby feel. Our server was lovely and accommodating and attentive even when it got busy. Best happy hour food choices. Cocktails were great-lychee martini was flavourful, lychee flavour I was hoping for was not the star. Will have to come back for the movie and dinner service. Very unique restaurant-love it!

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.

Thanks so much for your review, Ray! Really happy to hear you enjoyed your visit, even with the noisy neighbours. Something for us to keep an eye (or ear) on. Thank-you for taking the time to recognize Kenya. I'll make sure she sees your kind words!

Came with my boyfriend for a date night to have the 3 course meal, and watch a movie. Had the best time. One of my favourite date night spots, and it never disappoints. Can’t wait to come back.

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.
