Don't mistake this for just a brewhouse. Top 3 eateries in the city of Kelowna. Appie: Mushrooms on Toast...mind-blown Salad: Chop Chop = best salad in the city...hearty Entree: Chicken Parmesan...it has gnocchi...duh Great pastas, pizzas, Asian Best locally brewed beer in Kelowna. Excellent cocktails. Great featured wine you don't see at other restaurants in town. Staff and Management are great. Very cool hip atmosphere in a historical building. Combine all that with a bocci court and vintage bowling lanes!!!!!! read more

Great beer and menu was ok. Wish they'd bring back the beet fries! I love the mini cheesecakes in the jar. They aren't too sweet and not to big. Perfect for a treat! read more

Really tasty food options here, unfortunately the beer selection was limited to three choices but they were each very tasty. Ordered the wings which were very filling and tasty. I wish we could have more of their beer offerings but it's a small place and they have limited offerings. Service was great and friendly and the outdoor patio was very pleasant. The tasting room area was smaller than ecpected, limited to only a few seats. They also sell cans of their beer at the tasting area read more

Loved the tasting room. The server was super nice and very knowledgeable about the beers. Room had a cool vibe and the flights were a good deal, highly recommend doing one of those and keep the tab open because you're going to want more! Would love to go back and try the restaurant. read more

Wow what a surprise. The gnocchi was delicious! Honestly the best food we've had in Kelowna. Our food took a very long time to come out but the server kindly offered free drink or dessert to compensate. We weren't In a hurry so of course we had to stay for dessert Great atmosphere and friendly crowd. Definitely returning! read more

I could not have been more impressed with this place. It started with the building and then followed with incredible service, food, and drinks. I had our server (Carrie) recommend 3 beers for me. As a Brewmaster I always test the knowledge of the people who serve me beer. Her knowledge of the beers she recommended and served was the best I have come across. She then brought samples of 6 others and knew them extremely well. I highly recommend their Cascade hopped beer - their best seller. After she gained my trust from her choice of beer, I asked her to pick the two best appetizers. Their fish tacos and mushroom sauce with bread (not sure the name of the dish) was exceptional. They then offered to give myself, my girlfriend, and the other couples we were with a private tour of their brewhouse. I would highly recommend this place to anyone who loves sampling a wide variety of beer and paired with great food. read more

Ok listen up: BNA is bomb. As in, best ever, you'll never experience love like this again. Boyfriend and I finally got to stop in after hearing how amazing it was for weeks. We popped into the tasting room next door first, which has a cute, kitschy vibe with old mirrors, mounted animal heads, and lots of amazing beer! We tried a flight, including their Earl Grey beer, their blood orange beer (Blood Sugar Hops Magic - best name ever!) and two others that were also great but let's just take a moment to discuss one of the best beers I've ever had. Earl Grey. In beer. Yes, it works SO well. It's not heavy, it's a light, fragrant, hoppy beer that just totally blindsided me with deliciousness! I highly recommend you try it if you can. Next door has a gorgeous little patio area with lights strung up over it, lending it a dreamy, romantic vibe. The inside is an outstanding feat of beautiful design - two floors tall with exposed beams, soft lighting, and very carefully arranged seating, it's casual and intimate while simultaneously being fancy and a party spot - no mean feat. Downstairs has booths around the outside, and a mish-mash of seating inside - anything from a wooden bench to oversized armchairs! There's also a shuffleboard table, and the menu board is designed like a movie title display - so cool. Upstairs has a long table, and again a bunch of quirky chairs from chaise longues to comfy sofas. There's also an indoor bocce court (YES!!!) and a long bar area beside it where you can look over the rest of the space and people watch/talk about how you're going to slide over the edge and sit on the moose head below you... no? Just me? Ok... We tried the zucchini fries, ramen, and heirloom tomato salad; yes, it's a little pricey but not very different from most spots. The portions are a little small, but that can also be a good thing - you can try more! All three dishes were excellent and the heirloom salad was bursting with flavour and juicy pieces of tomato! I could have had three. We had a slight issue with the ramen which we mentioned to our server - she apologised profusely then fetched the manager who again apologised, then brought us a gift card! The service was way, way above and beyond - we were extremely impressed! This is truly an incredible gem that could easily compete in Vancouver, San Francisco, or New York. Kelowna, you don't know how lucky you are - don't screw it up! Go visit BNA, every day if possible, and let's make this the institution in Kelowna it deserves to be! read more

BNA is one of the first places we came to in Kelowna and we love it. We've been back several times. The food is fresh and delicious, very very well executed and thought out. They must have a great chef. Most of the stars here go towards the food. We were very impressed. They play good music and although it's a HUGE space, they've made it feel cozy. It's always quite busy, had 2 floors and the service so far has been nothing less than fantastic. One thing: I really wish they would be open for Saturday and/or Sunday brunch!!! They'd make a killing, and we would be there every weekend. Think about it, BNA. **this is an update: BNA is still just as fantastic as before. They have a sophisticated menu and I've tried over 10 items thus far and have never been disappointed. Very consistent, and delicious. read more

It was a packed Saturday evening, but we still managed to find some comfy chairs. I really liked the space, with its tall ceilings and wooden beams - very light and airy in the summer. The food was delicious, and though they had run out of several of their own beers, the ones we did manage to taste were tasty. Really interesting crowd too, a mix of ages and styles - great people watching! read more

Amazing food. Pizza was fantastic-thin buttery crust. The roasted carrot salad was also phenomenal, however incredibly TINY considering it's a $15 salad... Would definitely come back read more

Fun place to hang out on a Friday night. We had dinner and the food was average. Service was friendly but slow. Drinks were good!

Drop by for quick dinner. Friendly staff and great food! The broth was soo good, I even drank it all. Great atmosphere as well. read more

I had the grilled cheese/tomato soup and it was SO GOOD! Worth going back for more. There's a fun vibe in the restaurant and it had people of all ages there. Service was excellent (our server was Hannah) and I would definitely go back. Would love to see more vegetarian-friendly items on the menu. read more

Great spot. Awesome environment , delicious food. Definitely recommend checking this place out. Will definitely be returning.

If I could give zero stars, I would. I totally understand having to wait for a table for 7 to open up on Saturday night, but an hour and a half wait is ridiculous. Finally once we got seated, a server came by and said they'd give us free dessert or free drinks for waiting so long and being patient. Great. Except we waited another hour and a half for our food, which we decided was not worth waiting for and left before we even got it. Nothing was comp'd off of our bill, except we were given "one free beer" at our next visit because the general manager said he "wanted us to come back again" this was a terrible experience, especially since we were celebrating a birthday. Sorry, we won't be coming back. read more

So we come in as an 8 top on vacation, expecting a really good dining experience, but we got the opposite, the server doesn't care, she came after 5 minutes of us seated at the table, we got our drinks after 20 minutes, if that, and we talked to the manager because me and all my friends work at restaurants and know what to expect regarding service and experience and everything. Except the manager also seemed to not care about the customers' experience. Highly do not recommend this restaurant. read more

I have never been more disappointed. The staff are incredibly rude and ignorant and do not care about customer satisfaction whatsoever. Their "hipster" attitude and lack of manners is obviously what this place is going for with their vibe. I have never been treated so poorly at a restaurant/pub. And when asked to speak to a manager due to our orders being missed, this child who was probably no more than 19 years old named Bryan gave us nothing but attitude or a mere apology for our situation. If you want actual service and quality food and drinks, I would suggest anywhere else in Kelowna. read more

Great food!! Amazing beer!! Great staff! Loved this place.. The ambiance is relaxing and the menu would satisfy even the most demanding foodie!! Enjoy!! read more

The food and ambiance was amazing at this ultra cool spot. The best part was that hubby and I played bocce right in the middle of the meal. Can't wait to come back here. read more

Great place for beer and cocktails. Beer selection is decent - all pretty hoppy which was good for me, but not necessarily for everyone in our group. The cocktails were also well done. Bar and waitstaff were excellent! They made some great choices when we asked for bartender's choice of beer flight and cocktails. For food - overall, tasty but tiny. Heartier portions would make this place worth the visit for food as well. This is not your typical pub/bar (guess that's why it's an eatery and not a pub?). We ordered the Korean nachos, fried cauliflower, and chicken wings. To put into perspective: 5 pieces of fried wonton with toppings in the Korean Nachos? Left us a bit peckish. read more

Loved the atmosphere here. The staff was very attentive to our party of 5 and helped us snag a booth as soon as one opened. The food was great, the cocktails delicious, and great local beers + wines! Love this place! read more

Pretty awesome vibe in downtown Kelowna. We came here for an appetizer and some beer before a real dinner at Quails Gate. The place is very nice and welcoming for all sizes and ages. The beer was pretty good, I was sad they were out of the IPA and I'm used to these big breweries having some crazy flavors, but they kept it simple here. The tuna tar tar was delicious, but a bit underwhelming portion size. Our service was great though and overall I'd definitely return and recommend this spot to anyone that wants a beer and some food. I could see some seriously awesome live shows being played here, but I am unsure if the facilitate live music or not. Stop in and grab a beer if you are in this town! read more

Great food and atmosphere! Visited Kelowna for the first time and made reservations for a Friday evening (highly recommend). Loved the look and feel of the place, very open. The staff were friendly and the food was amazing! I had some cocktails, starters and a main and was very impressed! Great date night and would come again! read more

My SO and I went to BNA for the first time recently and were just floored by the excellent food and service. We started with a beer tasting flight, which was wonderful, they have some really unique brews in their selection. Our server, Jade, was super friendly, knowledgeable, and helpful. I loved all of her suggestions. The atmosphere is quirky and laid-back, I love the rich history of the building itself. We split a couple appies and they were delicious and super filling. We were shocked at the end of the night so see the bill. We would've expected to spend more, considering how good it was. read more

I like it a lot! Everything we've tried is fantastic. We had the worst seats in the house, but they were still really nice, and the wait staff was very attentive for how busy it was. read more

There's a lot going on here and during the evening usually a hipster crowd. Once I came here wearing running shoes and I was feeling like I'd be underdressed but when I got here, it was full of people wearing sweats. Generally laid back atmosphere. A big place with a lot of places to sit. Friendly customer service although I believe it to be quite over priced but then again what isn't these days? However, definitely a good place to hang out. There is also a bowling alley in the upstairs section. read more

Delightful brewpub with a good variety of beer. We particularly enjoyed the tasters which were reminiscent of cocktails - the daiquiri and margarita replicas were spot-on. Delicious appetizers as well, and the friendly staff comped a dessert for a wait that was only slightly longer than expected. Highly recommend to any visitors in Kelowna. read more

Awesome place. Craft beer selection is very good and the menu is loaded with options. Steamed Pork Buns and Brisket wontons were both excellent choices. I will definitely be back next time in tow. read more

Love the atmosphere, service, and food! The menu is a little limited, but quality is great!

Really good exceptionally good food in a casual brew pub. We got a bunch of small plates and a salad to share and everything was amazing. I wish I could post photos of the gorgeous food but we were so hungry and it was so delicious we destroyed the evidence. My husband got a flight of beers, i got the smokey negroni and love the slightly peaty take on my favourite cocktail. Really nice and quick service. We're still in shock at the reasonable prices for the outstanding food. HIGHLY RECOMMEND! read more

We stopped in the BNA (British North America) tasting room tonight and had a wonderful time. We tasted three of the brews while the young man, Liam, explained all about them. Additionally, we learned a lot about the local brewery scene, restaurants, and just had an enjoyable experience. It's great to come across a place like this that is intimate and casual. No pressure to buy beer, although we did! Really liked the Blood, Sugar, Hops, Magik IPA. Although we didn't go to the restaurant tonight, we plan to go back and try it as well. I love that the guy who started this place just really likes to make craft beers, and he put together a nice place that deserves a stop on your itinerary. read more

What a cool spot! I went with a group of 8 and we all had a blast enjoying the different beers and the unique selection of food. I had the Chicken Parmesan and it was NOT your typical Chicken Parm. It was so different but in a great way. Bursting with flavour. If you've eaten it, you just know what I'm talking about. Choose this place and enjoy! read more

When the wife and I go down to Kelowna sometimes it's easy just to grab dinner at one of the chain restaurants on the north end of town before heading home to Vernon, but tonight we decided to head downtown, fight a bit of traffic and try somewhere new. Twice in the last couple of weeks I had heard about this "BNA" place: first, on the radio saying they were in some magazine for having the best restrooms in Canada, and second, from a friend who was raving about the place. The initial impression of the interior was great. High industrial type ceilings and interesting seating layout. I think we found the only two available seats on the bottom floor and we were waited on promptly by a very friendly server. She was very helpful with recommendations on their selection of beers, and with questions on the menu. I would have tried almost everything on the menu, but if one thing was lacking I would say it was choices that appealed to my wife's palate. I settled on the pork vindaloo which was a great spice level for a mass appeal dish, and had great flavor (could have used more roti, but I can never get enough roti). My wife ordered the sausage flatbread, which I snuck a sample or two of, and it was fantastic! All in all a great spot for date-night. read more

Pretty good beer and atmosphere. Our service got off to a painfully slow start but improved once they figured out we were going to stay drink and eat like everyone else. Good menu choices and a string selection of local bc beer. Upstairs is cool info or bocce. read more

We made sure to come back to BNA on our way home through Kelowna because it came highly recommended. It has lots of seating on two levels with some pretty unique chairs and sofas. We had a lovely server who customized a flight of beer for me. We chose to split an appetizer, salad, and main course. Our server made sure to order the salad in separate bowls for us, which was an appreciated touch. The cauliflower and chop chop salad were absolutely delicious. We inhaled them both! For our main we shared the Chicken Parmesan. It was good but did not live up to the same wow factor as the first two dishes. Breading on the chicken was a little bland and the gnocchi was slightly on the squishy/slimy side. Overall it still tasted decently so it didn't spoil our experience. We LOVED the bathroom set up in the upstairs area--shared sinks and mirrors regardless of gender and private, full-doored stalls. THANK YOU for that. Thought the lighting was a little dark overall and the menus didn't add to the vibe but again that doesn't subtract from the experience. read more

Stopped in for a beer on the recommendation of our B&B host. He described it to have a "Friends"-like coffee shop vibe (but a bar instead) which turned out to be pretty accurate description. The space is big with high ceilings and plenty of seating including benches along the wall and couches and chaises in the center. There's a shuffle board on the main level and lawn bowling on the second floor. Big selection of beers on tap, written on the big chalk board left of the bar. The crowd is mostly early 20's-mid 20's. Friendly service and an interesting food menu (we didn't get to try) that seemed to have a fusion of different cuisines (Italian, Chinese, Japanese, Canadian). Great casual bar and good for large groups. read more

Spot on! This pub is a treasure trove of wonderfully flavored small plates made from locally sourced purveyors. Each time we went, we opted to share a sampling ranging from pork and mushroom empañadas top with micro greens to fiery shrimp with beet shreds. Their key lime layered desert in a mason jar was outstanding. The selection of beers was sufficient to make the group happy. We loved our waitress who was quite engaging. Her name has escaped us, however. Description: great smile, dark in complexion, dark shoulder length hair, nose ring and is an aspiring brew master. read more

Stopped here once and just had beer and the beers were very good. I really enjoyed their stout and red beer. The service was also excellent. Never had anything to eat so can't comment on the food. The building it was in was also nice. read more

Love the decor a hip and happening place for sure good beer only suggestion is redo the sound system. The worst in Kelowna. read more

The house earl grey pale ale was great. Environment is a little sterile and typical of newer breweries.
