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.

    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.

    Very happy to hear you enjoyed your visit, Lenora! Thanks so much for your kind review.

    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 5 days ago
    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.

    Thank-you so much for choosing to celebrate with us, Sam! Really glad to know the whole team took good care of you. Paige is the best! Thanks for taking the time to recognize her - I'll make sure to pass along your kind words. It means a lot that you plan to join us again. We'll be looking forward to welcoming you back!

    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.

    Love Bernie’s but it was too loud! Difficult to chat with my friend.
