This is a very cool spot in west Kelowna. The building was beautifully designed and decorated. The architecture and interior design is something worth seeing in person. The beers are fantastic. And they also serve their cider and cocktails etc. they often have live music too. Great place for happy hour. The smoked meat and sides are out of this world. There is no other place in town like it. They have some amazing platters for 4 or more people. I suggest going with a group and sharing to try everything.

My parents and I are visiting from out of town and we just googled "best smoked meat in Kelowna" for my mom's birthday. We decided to come here as we don't like visiting the chain restaurants. 10/10 vibe, awesome food, great service, and live music. The staff were so friendly and welcoming. My parents are hard to impress as they like what they know, but this place made them so happy. Thanks again! (Couldn't get a photo before my dad digged into the food)

We had a large group (hockey team with kids) and had an absolutely amazing experience here The food was incredible. Our table order the big boy. It did not disappoint. Even the salads were great! There was some issues with bills because of the size of the group but the staff were very accommodating and assisted in getting it resolved 100% will return. The food, the atmosphere, it's a must visit in my opinion. I'd strongly suggest going in a group and ordering the big boy. You get to try some of everything so you won't miss out on anything. Remarkable.

Some say the west was won with the railroad, gunslingers, and true grit... I’d like to believe it was won with strong people, partnerships, good beer and amazing BBQ! This ramshackled saloon transports you to a time before highways, gadgets and vineyards where tough guys, bankers, cowboys and travellers of all kinds congregated. Channeling my inner Doc Holliday along with my stunning Belle we decided to take a respite from the days touring and venture into The Hatching Post. Clanking of glasses, riotous laughter, country music and alluring smell of BBQ-we knew this was the right place. Alberta-Born Chef Ryan Byrne (NAIT, Manteo Resort) delivers an impressive melange of southern style BBQ menu with his farm to table approach. Brisket makes Texas proud, pulled pork does the Carolinas justice, Ribs make St Louis notice and chicken make any southern pleased! Paired with inventive and experimental pilot brews of Head Brewer Adam Potter makes The Hatching Post a desired place to belly-up to the bar or simply lounge on the patio. Another gorgeous themed location from the Award Winning Winemaker Jason Parkes, this is a “Must Do”! Well Done! After visiting TOP BBQ joints in the south we comfortably place it as a TOP in BC and Canada! the line ups of foodies, ruffians and critics speak volumes! Thank you for the wonderful, warm and sweet service Alisa! We’ll definitely be back! Jason Parkes Customs Tourism Kelowna Destination British Columbia.

Delicious! Love thayou can build your own platter. The burnt ends and brisket are a must. The pulled pork is fantastic and not dry. Great variety of sides to choose from. Happy Hour is a big bonus. Try the cream corn dip!
