Cobb Theatres opened its new CineBistro Grove 16 theatres on September 26, 2008. The area’s first movie theatre/restaurant combination features several entertainment options, with a 16-screen movie theatre, CineBistro movie & dining experience, and the restaurant at CineBistro.

The CineBistro movie & dining experience is offered in six theatres, featuring a loge with reserved balcony seating. Moviegoers in the loge can eat a gourmet meal while enjoying a movie in high back leather rocking chairs. The bistro off a full service lunch and dinner menu, and cocktails served directly to patrons seats. The CineBistro in-theatre experience is only available to those over 21 and older.

The restaurant at CineBistro is open to all ages and features full service lunch and dinner menus, including appetizers, tapas-style entrees, deserts, coffee, wines, premium cocktails and aperitifs.

Moviegoers wishing for the more traditional experience can enjoy the 16-screen megaplex that features all-stadium seating, digital projection & sound, a large lobby & box office, and a cafeteria-style snack bar that allows patrons to walk through and select snacks & drinks.

CineBistro Grove 16 closed on March 16, 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic. CMX, operators of CineBistro, filed for bankruptcy in April, closing the theatre. Mark Gold took on the venue rebranding it as the Grove Theater, Bistro & Entertainment - a multi-purpose “cinema of the future” that opened February 19, 2021.

The Grove featured a comedy club, a sushi bar, a bistro with expansive beer options, two kids zones, and spin bike classes with a big screen.
