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.
There’s a reason the prices aren’t on anything. Do not order the “deck” I feel like I fell for a tourist trap. LOL. Stale piece of 6 inch bread almost inedible for $20. Why
Super disappointed with the happy hour situation. Google Maps clearly stated it starts at 9 pm, but we couldn't even get our order taken at 8:20 pm. Not sure what's going on there, but it's misleading. Wasted a trip hoping for some deals. Definitely double-check before going if you're expecting happy hour prices.
This place certainly has potential, but our group found it disappointing. We found a significant lack of clear signage outside which made it confusing to find, a lack of cleanliness upstairs as we saw 2+ tables of dirty dishes left, a need to upgrade or fix things as we saw an inoperable fan filled with cobwebs and several wobbly chairs, a need to have more staff on-duty as we were left unattended for well over 1.5h, a reconsideration of staff training as we found our server unprofessional at times (and difficult to identify), improperly stocked bathrooms with the necessary items, ambiguity regarding the happy hour as the website said one thing, but yet the tiny sign by the door contradicted it, and finally, one of our drinks was 'flat' or tasted old. Many small things so don't avoid this place but they need to change
Closer than cleanliness to 5* for a good reason! Great beer, excellent location for basically anything downtown, and even pretty close to the only no cost parking area (after 5). Quite a bit of seating as well and a decent sized patio. I wouldn't hesitate to stop by while downtown and enjoy a refreshing cheeky beverage
Juicy IPA is the best IPA in town. Delicious Pilsner. KBI is doing a great job with social events too. I’ve attended Brewphoria, Taps & Tunes, Speed Dating, Jenga Tournament… Looking forward to the annual cask throw-down!!
Been here a few times. Casual atmosphere, great beer and appies. Reasonably priced. Great location. Paige was our server, very attentive, happy and friendly. Ask for her! Thanks Paige for doing a great job!
As a vegetarian, food was aweeeesome! Got the banh mi tofu and a pretzel! Yummy in my tummy
Tasty beers and delicious wings, combined with a beautiful patio, make this place truly special. It’s the perfect spot to relax and enjoy great food and drinks, which is why it’s easily one of the best in town.
Lovely place and local beer

We are good there! Friendly and welcoming waiters, beers with developed aromas, chill atmosphere with concert on the terrace, in short, all the ingredients for a good evening!
Lovely place and local beer
The best place in Kelowna for an un pretentious ale and people watching. Perfect.
Great service and beer. Thursday night are cask nights, you should try.
Stopped in for a beer with family while exploring the water front. I had the lemonale which was very light and fresh, very surprised it was 5.5%.
Grabbed a 4 pack and shirt for home, didnt eat food.
