About this restaurant

  • Good for special occasions
  • Great for happy hour
  • Great for creative cocktails
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.
    Bernie'sResponded on April 1, 2025
    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.
