Cinemark has long been recognized as a pioneer in the theatrical exhibition industry and the new Cinemark Movie Bistro extends that reputation. "What I believe our customers will find so appealing about the Cinemark Movie Bistro is that we've added great tasting food options and a selection of beers, wines, and frozen cocktails to the entertainment experience, all the while never allowing the new features to distract from the immersive experience that makes movie-going magical," states Bob Shimmin, Vice President of Food & Beverage.
Cinemark’s Movie Bistro offers the following:
- An expanded dining menu featuring appetizers, pizzas & flat breads, sandwiches & wraps, quesadillas & tacos and much more
