Bijou Cinema Bistro: A Unique San Antonio Movie Theater

May 8, 2014 by

Bijou Cinema Bistro brings the latest and greatest of cinema to San Antonio, just the way this Texan-owned, family business likes it. In keeping with the company’s mission, you will always find the latest and greatest first-run movies at Bijou. Pick out your movie, and admire the lobby art, courtesy of local artists. Have a seat in the theater and wait for your server – that’s right, there are servers who will take your order and bring your order to you in the theater. But be prepared because the Bijou is a theater for grown ups, where wine and beer can be ordered with your popcorn and candy. Also, make your order early because you will not be served while the movie is being shown. But you’ll have plenty of time to have a drink, get your snack and enjoy the show!
