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.

Came for a ladies night dinner. The server was lovely and attentive. She even offered us samples of the wine before we committed and that was appreciated. I had the tuna crudo appetizer and it was tasty and a good portion. I then had the gnocchi for my main. The portion was good and presentation was nice but the dish was a bit over cooked in some spots and the gnocchi texture was off. Tasted more like boiled dry potatoes vs the gummy texture gnocchi is supposed to be. The sauce on it was minimal and underwhelming as well. Normally their food is amazing but it was just not a great option last night. Lastly, even though we were a good ten feet from the door, it was freezing cold. I wish more places used curtains to contain the cold air in the winter! I’ll be back again but just a mediocre experience last night.

Really great place for a fun evening out. Perfect for a date night or girls night. Love the decor, food, drinks and service. Their happy hour menu is really yummy and good prices. We just did happy hour in the dining room this time but will definitely be back for a movie night. The only suggestion I would make to management is that the music didn’t match the vibe of the rest of the atmosphere, it was like classic rock playing in the background of this really gorgeous, glitzy room which just took me out of the experience a little bit. But a very minor detail, wouldn’t keep me from returning or recommending to others.
Bernie'sResponded on 19 December 2024
Thank-you, Kayla! Really glad to hear that you enjoyed your visit (mostly - we appreciate all of the feedback, including the music bit). It means a lot that you plan to join us again. We'll look forward to welcoming you back!

This was a new restaurant for us and we loved it. Quite a bit of seafood but other excellent and tasty choices if, that's not your preference. The experience was such a great part of the night and our hostess server was working under her incredible talent level because Stephanie was OUTSTANDING! The ambiance is fun and the restaurant clean. It seemed like we were close to the table next to us but we didn't feel that way once we sat down, we felt comfortable. Cocktails delicious in proper glassware, wine selections good and dessert was tasty too.

Thanks very much for your review and for giving us a shot, Paula! So happy to hear you enjoyed your visit. Glad Stephanie took great care of you - she's the best. I hope we have the opportunity to welcome you again sometime!

The service and food were absolutely amazing, 10/10! My daughter has celiac disease and they had plenty of delicious gluten free options for her to enjoy. Everything was exceptional but the caesar salad was out of this world. Highly recommend!

I I love everything about this place…. Tonight we were just at the restaurant. I can’t say enough about the food. Absolutely delicious. Not your every day fair, but reasonably priced for the offerings.

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!
