What we got was great beer and great food but more importantly the warmest, most talented and caring staff we have ever been lucky enough to be with. My wife and I were moved by the love the whole staff had for the community, and jealous for the locals that have access to this all the time. This is a very special place, and I hope it continues to welcome locals and wandering travelers like us.

Old school car themed brewery in downtown Penticton. Think Herbie…read more Parking is available on the street. The interior has that gritty blue collar feel. Very well done. Feels like a gas station from the 1960s. They have a raised stage, which I imagine hosts live music on certain nights. Staff are friendly. No complaints. As of my visit, they had 11 beers, mostly on the light side. Great for some easy drinking. Everything hit the spot. This place does have some food as well, though I didn't try. Worth checking out if one is in the area.

The beer selection is great and I finally got to try their new food menu. Wow the gourmet hot dogs, goat cheese spinach dip and fresh baked pretzels are to die for. They also have live bands in the evening which is super fun. This has become a regular stop when I'm in town! Highly recommend.

The burger had flavor, the bun was grill toasted, and the chicken was a nicely breaded meaty breast. The fries STOLE THE SHOW. We got waffle fries and garlic parm fries. Both were a solid choice but if I had to pick, the garlic fries were heavenly. Neither of us could finish because it was a huge helping that took every inch of my plate rather than the little boats that some places have that only hold 7 fries. My drink was never empty, and I felt extremely welcomed. Thanks for a great stop along my journey.

Cannery (I think?) themed brewery in downtown Penticton…read more Parking is available on the street. The place is basically a decorated warehouse. High ceilings, and the paintings on the wall give it a bit of a gallery feel. Staff are friendly. No complaints. As of my visit, there were 11 brews. Most are light to medium. Beers were tasty and hit the spot. Buddy and I also got free popcorn with our beer purchase. Bonus. Who doesn't like popcorn. This place does have a decent food selection as well, though I didn't try. Worth checking out if one is thirsty.

Cannery has no food menu to speak of, great if you only want beer, but a food choice would be nice.read more

Absolutely fantastic family restaurant. Our server was so good with our kids, joking with them,…read morevery friendly. Food was tasty. The tortilla soup with chicken is lovely and the birria tacos are a highlight. That consumé! Breeze on the hot day was nice.

We came for the beers and they were good. Sadly not much fruity selections (possibly due to…read morechanging of seasons). The portions were small and taco selections were limited. I requested for no cilantro on the ones where sauces were not premade. But ended up getting sprinkles on the ones I had said no to. The server (looked like a middle aged mom) didn't give off an attentive customer service vibe. We waited close to an hour before food came. She only advised food will be late. Normally places provide some appies as complementary. Not this one. Some folks at the party ordered more drinks as we were asked about any more drinks? And didn't want to be rude. I'm pretty sure I won't be coming back. Not my kinda pub.

Amaze amaze amaze! Such a welcome spot after mediocre dining the night before on the western side…read moreof North Cascades NP. We spent our last afternoon visiting the NP by driving the scenic road all the way to Washington Pass, and continued on for dinner here. So glad we did. It's a small village of buildings, but don't let that turn you away. My son got a burger, I got the poké bowl, and we shared the dessert of the day, lemon cake. We didn't try a beer. The food was all fresh and delicious, with reasonably generous servings. A very welcome quality meal after a few days hiking and mostly eating out of our backpacks. The vibe is hip and casual. Lots of outdoor seating. Very much an outdoor/hiking crowd, mostly young folks and families with hiking gear, very busy but the line moved quickly and the food came out reasonably promptly. Counter order, then you sit and bring it, you bus your own table afterward. The views are nice; there are mountains north and south of the place. We sat on the back patio and saw mountains. Staff were friendly and hustling. Prices are high for this NCer but for the quality and location, and after a few days in WA, they seem reasonable.

And, let's be honest *checks map* there are not a lot of dining options in Mazama! In fact, earlier in the day, we actually popped in to ask if they took reservations (they don't) and to get a sense of the best time to arrive for dinner. The staff was super helpful and suggested coming around 5/5:30pm to beat the crowds. We followed their advice and showed up just after 5:30 and sure enough, there were still some tables available both inside and outside. We chose a shaded outdoor table and then placed our order at the register/bar. I went with the poke bowl because... of course I did. The portion size was generous, so generous that I couldn't finish it (probably because I had already devoured a massive pulled pork sandwich earlier at the Mazama Store... no regrets). The fish was fresh and the flavors were great. Service was impeccable. Everyone we interacted with was friendly yet efficient. Prices were also very reasonable especially for a relatively remote mountain town. While I didn't have any of the beers, there are plenty of craft brews available. All in all, Mazama Public House is a gem of a spot nestled in one of Washington's most scenic areas. Whether you're a hiker, cyclist, or just passing through, I highly recommend stopping in for a great meal and good vibes!

Granted, I'm sure it looks different when shops are open and everyone isn't at home self-isolating. My partner had heard good things about this brewery so we decided to check it out on a rainy day. There wasn't anyone there when we arrived so we waited around for a few minutes and the owner (I think?) appeared from the back. He was friendly and told us about the beers available for tasting. There was 8 on the board so we decided to get 2 flights (4 glasses per flight). He even threw in a free one for us of a beer blend that wasn't on the menu *win!* We thoroughly enjoyed almost all the beers we tried. They were easy to drink but still had depth and complex flavour profiles. I especially liked the Paradise Coconut Hopfenweisse - it was so unique. The brewery has a homey feel, with board games and adventure magazines on the side for customers. I think they had some snacks available (we didn't get any) but there's no hot food served. If you're looking for an unpretentious, no-fuss brewery with excellent service and great beer, check out Tin Whistle!

We couldn't pass up the chance to check them out, so were happy to see them open on a Saturday at 11:30am. It's never too early for a good dark beer, is it? We shared a flight of 4 beers for $5 and especially enjoyed the Midnight Peach and Killer Bee. We left with 2 of each--each priced at $5/bottle. It was interesting that no other patrons were there during the time we were and that no previous reviews have been done. The beers are definitely noteworthy, so I hope they will get more recognition soon! There certainly were a number of games available to play, so with more time and more friends we would've stayed a bit longer.

Funky Tex-Mex themed brewery a few km S of downtown Summerland…read more Parking is plentiful in the lot in front. The interior is pretty well done. Wood trim, worn saloon style seating (including ones with cow spots), and even a mural with alien abductions. Other than the ambient temperature, one can definitely soak in the atmosphere. There is also a W facing patio. Staff are friendly and chatty. No complaints. As of the time I visited, there were 5 beers available. Good enough for a taster. Beers do cover light, medium, and dark. The one beer that probably catches everyone's eyes here is the taco flavoured beer. Yes. Tacos. It actually tastes like liquid tacos. Mind. Blown. I asked the lady behind the counter and she mentioned the secret is cilantro and hot sauce. To this day I can still taste the beer. That's how much of an impression it left. Beautiful. Worth popping by if one is in the area.
