Have you ever been in a bind, trying to find the perfect spot for a drink or dinner with friends before your movie starts? Or wished for a place to chat about the flick afterwards, only to find the cinema's doors closing on you? Let me introduce you to Kino.
Nestled on a quiet offshoot of the bustling Nieuwe Binnenweg, Kino is a gem that stands where an old cinema used to be. It's been given a new lease on life as a contemporary film house complete with a restaurant and bar. The restaurant in Kino is called NIKO's resto. It is a “laidback” burger restaurant with my favorite burgers. Whenever I feel like having a burger, I go to Niko's resto. Especially the Korean Chicken or one of the smash burgers are my favorite. The bar offers a good variety of draft beers, wines, cocktails and sodas.
On-screen, you'll find a curated mix of cinematic treasures, from classic Scorsese to the latest blockbusters and thoughtful art-house offerings. Kino isn't just about watching films; it's about fostering a community and celebrating a broad spectrum of cinematic art without sacrificing film quality. This is the kind of place that makes any film experience richer and the conversation afterwards more meaningful.
