re:’for people who like their local beer we’ve [Cinebarre] got you covered’.

If they want to serve local beer, Cinbarre can be more local than Newport [84 miles] and Bend [132 miles]; eg.,
- Pale Horse Brewery, Salem – 3.5 miles
- Seven Brides, Silverton – 14 miles
- Calapooia, Albany – 27 miles
- Block 15, Corvallis – 42 miles
- Oregon Trail, Corvallis – 42 miles
- Golden Valley, McMinnville – 48 miles
- Heater Allen, McMinnville – 48 miles
- ~20 breweries in Portland – nominally 50 miles
- Pelican Brewery, Pacific City – 74 miles

Ooops! Never mind. Just looked at the web site. They do carry Bud, Miller, Coors. Food looks horribly boring. Burgers, Pizza and fried garbage. Potato skins, Chicken strips, Onion rings, Salsa and Chips…. Sounds like a High School party offerings, back in 1981.

They’ve just changed the typical Theater menu from Hot Dogs to Burgers and Pizza which some Theaters have been doing for years. From Popcorn and crackerjacks to Fried Pickles, Onion rings and Chicken strips. Old pedestrian garbage food to a greasier garbage food. Way to go!

Cinetopia in Vancouver at least has a little more classy cuisine, a restaurant and an interesting (meh) wine selection.

It could be worse, places could just sell Bud, Miller or Coors.

“Great food. The deep-fried pickles are amazing.”
