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.

    Being customers choice for 2024 and after reading all reviews we decided to give it a try. We were a group of 8, it don’t meet our expectations. The coating of calamari and prawns was too thick and very dry. Stake had no flavour very blend. Salmon was a good dish, sushi and burgers were good. We left food in the table because of the flavour.

    Leida, I'm very sorry to hear we fell short during your visit. We do really appreciate your detailed feedback though, as it allows us to learn and properly address any issues. I know our Chef will be keen to hear your comments and make sure he and his team consistently execute to the standards we strive for. I apologize for the mistakes we made on some of the dishes you ordered, but thank you for bringing them to our attention.

    Overall experience at Bernie’s was terrific…..from the time we entered the service was exceptional…..interacting with our bartenders started the evening in right direction as they were funny and knowledgeable.

    Bernie’s offers a fantastic ‘Super Club’ 3-course menu with generous portions at a reasonable price. The manager of the day, Charlotte, was so charming and friendly that made our visit even more enjoyable. Highly recommend for a satisfying meal with great service!

    Excellent service and the food was exceptional. We didn’t order from the three course menu because the prices didn’t seem to match the regular menu (not sure why the steak was a $20 up charge or the fish and chips were $4 more when they were not that much more than other mains on the three course menu). Totally recommend the wagu dumplings and the gnocchi. The prawn and lobster tagliatelle was also scrumptious.

    Wonderful server, our appetizers were great, the entrees (Nashville cheese Xeon was tasty but slightly overdone. The bottom of the tasty cheesecake was burned but served anyway. Otherwise a a great place!
    Bernie'sResponded on March 22, 2025
    Thanks very much for your review, Dave! We're very grateful for the compliments and the constructive feedback alike. I'll make sure our Chef keeps an eye on the cook of things. The Basque cheesecake is burnt on purpose, but we'll check-in to make sure it's at the appropriate level. I'm sorry that the Nashville Chicken was overdone, but glad it did not damper your experience too much. I hope we have the opportunity to welcome you again sometime and do better! I know we can. Regardless, thank-you for sharing your experience.

    We had Paige for our server, she was incredible. We were celebrating a birthday and she made sure our dinner was just perfect. The food was beautiful and the negroni’s were epic. Can’t wait to come back. The entire Bernie’s crew were so wonderful.

    Once again, a great dining experience. It was quieter because we ate early on a Thursday night. The kitchen and wait staff were very considerate and accommodating of an allergy, and even split the Caesar salad we ordered to share. The Caesar is great with the Brussels sprouts leaves, and the mushroom tacos and calamari rocked as usual.
