Very good service.
Very tasty food.
Good patio with lake view.
Fantastic, loved everything I tried!
Beers are good, tank to tap. Nice patio for when its nice out. Good place to have a relaxing beer.
No server for our group of 9. I had to go to the bar to order.(that's not a good business move) I ordered wine as I'm not a beer fanatic. With tip, my glass of wine was.$20. The bartender took another customer even though I was waiting before her. We live down the street and frequent kbi on weekends. We may consider somewhere else soon if this is what we get. But the music artists are amazing! We always love to watch and listen to them.
I wouldn’t recommend ordering the pizza. It came out raw at first, then burnt. The poutine and chicken wings were good, but I’d skip the rest of the food. It’s better to just go there for a beer.
We recently visited for the first time and unfortunately didn’t feel very welcomed. After mentioning at the bar that it was our first time, we didn’t receive any guidance, no menus or explanation of how things worked. After placing our order, we were left confused about what to do next. When we asked if we should go find a seat and if our order would be brought to us, the only response we got was a flat “no,” without any further clarification. A bit more friendliness and clear communication would have made a big difference in our experience.
Visited Kelowna Beer Institute on July 24 around 8:30 PM with friends. The place was busy, but the service was very disappointing. We waited in the “Order Here” lineup, which was out the door, while the bartender continued serving regulars and people on the side instead of those waiting in line.
A bridal party upstairs kept sending people down for more drink orders for the people in front of us, which slowed things down even more. It felt unorganized and understaffed, and the bartender’s lack of attention to the actual lineup was frustrating and unprofessional.
The location is great, but the service left much to be desired. Unfortunately, I wouldn’t return based on this experience.
Sarah, Paige and Abby make this place incredible, top notch service and always smiling. Also Hattie 👌
Such an amazing place for food, drinks , and the atmosphere. Food is delicious and they cater to their customers and city dragon boaters. Amazing wings as well! Never tasted better.

I actually love this place. Clean, fast service, excellent beer and great food too. Service with a smile.
Wings sucked tonight. My last time at KBI. Better place…annoyed.
Customer service 👎
The cocktails shouldn’t taste like just tonic, you should have balanced enough cocktails that you can tell there’s liquor in there.
I feel like the liquor is either watered down or not the proper measurements.
I would avoid this place if I were to visit Kelowna again.
We hosted our Wedding Welcome Party at Kelowna Beer Institute in Feb 2025. Kara and her team were SO easy and lovely to work with! We would highly recommend hosting an event here.
