The Nightlife Guide

Where the valley
goes after dark.

Restaurants, bars, live music, and cocktail lounges from Lake Country to Osoyoos. Every entry rated four stars or better. All the places worth the drive — and we're the ones who'll drive you.

The Okanagan doesn't stop when the wineries close. It moves downtown, to the patios, to the barrel-lit cocktail rooms, and to the corner tables where the chefs still cook by hand.

This is the guide to that other half of the day. Every place here has a real reputation — four stars or better on Google, no exceptions. Some are winery restaurants that stay open into the evening. Some are downtown standbys that have been here for decades. Some are new. All of them are worth the drive.

And when you're done — we'll take you home safe.

Penticton

Beach town with grown-up appetites.

Penticton sits between two lakes and has the beach-town energy of both. Downtown Main Street is walkable and dense — Italian wine bars, a legendary Greek room since 1976, a French-inspired lakeside patio at Salty's, and Kin & Folk pulling in some of the best cooking in the valley. Add BNA's second location for bowling-and-brews and you have a night that could go anywhere.
