The former Regal Cinema in Issaquah has re-opened as a Cinebarre, a national chain which screens first-run movies, with dinner and drinks delivered right to your seat. The only other Cinebarre in the area is in Mountlake Terrace.

The complex still has eight screens, but every other row of seats were removed to make room for counter style bars to set down your food and beverages.

The seats are large and comfortable with cupholders. At Cinebarre you can order from your seat during your movie, then servers slip your food or drink in to you without disruption.

Food offerings range from appetizers with movie themed names such as Goldfingers, which are breaded and fried chicken breast strips, to Forbidden Planet Chili. Pizzas are 10-inch and include regular or gluten-free crust. The Bull Durham is pepperoni, Candadian bacon and sausage while the Braveheart is a vegetarian offering with goat cheese and roasted garlic.

Heartier fare includes the Blue Velvet Burger, a hand-made patty with bleu cheese, served with all the fixings and fries.

Wine, beer and specialty cocktails are all available, which means this is a 21 and older venue.

Matinees are $9, evening shows are $11 and seniors always pay $8.50.

Monday night football is shown on a big screen, and admission is free.

Cinebarre is holding a job fair Saturday, Nov. 2 from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. Jobs that need to be filled include servers, food runners, ticket sales, line cooks, kitchen supervisors and bartenders.

Cinebarre is located at 1490 11th Ave. N.W.
