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 reserved this for our 20th anniversary dinner, unfortunately it was incredibly busy on a Wednesday night and we were sat at a tiny table for two, barely big enough for the menus, aside from glasses for water, drinks, candles. It was also situated in the middle of the isle to the kitchen and bathrooms, so there was a constant stream of staff and patrons whisking by the table. The menus kept getting knocked off the table and the drinks almost spilled a few times. These tiny tables have to go. Maybe they are good for a coffee somewhere, not a nice ding place like this. It was so uncomfortable that we just had an appetizer and drink & left to go elsewhere for our dinner. Good food, nice place, but they are trying to pack too many people into a place that has plenty of other seating upstairs.

    I am incredibly sorry to hear about this experience. Thank-you for taking the time to share your important feedback so I can bring it to the attention of our management team. I feel really badly that your special occasion was negatively impacted by this seating and I apologize. We'd really love to be able to welcome you properly another time. I hope we have that opportunity to show you the kind of hospitality we strive to provide.

    We had a lovely dinner out at Bernie’s! We enjoyed the cocktail hour drink specials, and ordered a variety of entrees and a couple starters. Their calamari is ok, it could have been a little crisper but the side sauces were good. We ordered Panchetta Roast and Gnocchi with Vodka cream sauce. Both dishes were outstanding! Would recommend! Our server Kenya was friendly and attentive and we loved the ambiance. We will definitely return for the dinner and show.
    Bernie'sResponded on February 25, 2025
    So happy to hear you enjoyed your visit! Thank-you for taking the time to share your review. We very much appreciate both the kind words about your mains, and the feedback about the calamari. I'll make sure to pass your compliments along to Kenya, too! Thanks for taking the time to recognize her. It means a lot that you plan to join us again - we'll look forward to welcoming you back.

    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.
    Bernie'sResponded on February 21, 2025
    Darcy, your review is very generous despite our shortcomings. Thank-you so much. I'm really sorry to hear that we didn't deliver on this special occasion and certainly understand you disappointment. I too hope this was just an anomaly and am confident that's the case, but I apologize. I hope we have the opportunity to welcome you back and do better. I know we can.

    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.
    Bernie'sResponded on February 21, 2025
    That's definitely not ideal, Tony. I apologize and share your disappointment. I know our Chef will be keen to hear this feedback and address it with his team. If you're willing to give us another shot, I know we can do better. I hope we might have the opportunity to welcome you again sometime. Regardless, thank-you for your review.
