Food and a flick has been a standard date-night recipe since the days of drive-ins. But Cinebarre in Mountlake Terrace makes the best local case that those two tastes taste better together. The grub is cheekily-named standard fare (try the "Blue Velvet" burger); the beers are extra cold, and five for the price of four if you get them in a bucket. Nothing spectacular on their own, but with a cushy theater seat and the convenience of a doting waitstaff, the combo is good enough to make you wonder why you'd ever eat before watching a movie, rather than all at once.
