The historic West Bend Theater in West Bend, Wisconsin has been added to the National Register of Historic Places.

Located in downtown West Bend, the movie theater originally opened November 29, 1929 as a movie theater with a full stage for live theater performances as well. It was last known as the West Bend Cinema Brewhaus, and was purchased in 2017 by the Historic West Bend Theater, Inc. The group is currently restoring the movie theater and hopes to reopen the theater for live performances, movies, and other community events.

The movie theater was added to the Wisconsin State Register of Historic Places in December 2019.
