Enjoying a great happy hour is the best way to cap off a fun day of activities in and around Kelowna. Meet some friends at a brewery for a couple of cold ones or enjoy some delicious eats and treats at a new-to-you cocktail bar. We’ve put together a great list of spots so you can find a new favourite happy hour in Kelowna.
micro bar + bites
3-6pm every day
Truly embracing the heart of happy hour, this small bar has gone from a waiting room for Raudz next door to a hot spot all of its own. Pair some shareable tapas with classic cocktails in their cozy space. No reservations though so get there early!
Some favourites you won’t want to miss are the Popcorn to Die For! – popcorn drizzled in warm duck fat, fresh rosemary and Vancouver Island sea salt, and their fried Brussels Sprouts with caramelized apple and garlic chips.

Earls

One of the best spots to meet up with friends for drinks, Earl’s Kelowna features a big rooftop patio overlooking the lake and plenty of room for you and friends. They’ve even leveled up with misters to keep you cool in summer and heaters to keep you warm in the winter.
Their happy hour menu boasts a wide range of food and drinks. Some local favourites include the Shaft cocktail, for when it’s been a long day and you need a caffeinated pick-me-up, and their crispy sushi tacos.

Staying true to the essence of happy hour, Skinny Duke’s runs every day from 5-6pm. Their menu – Duke’s Delight – is sleek, but that just means you won’t be overthinking your choices. Enjoy the eclectic atmosphere and great soundtrack.
We suggest one of their custom cocktails paired with a Single Smash Burger. If you’re a fan of bourbon, we love their Coconut Old Fashioned.
