While Kelowna is a beautiful place to explore year-round, sometimes it’s nice to escape the winter weather outside and just snuggle into a cozy indoor spot. You don’t have to hide out in your hotel or at home to have a few beverages and some old fashioned fun with your friends.

BNA Brewing Co. & Eatery is the perfect place to escape the cold for some fun and games. They have indoor bocce, shuffleboard, bowling, arcade games, and the most relaxing living-room-style set up in Kelowna. If you want to ‘travel like a local’ in Kelowna, BNA is a must; locals love this place. They open the eatery at 4:00 pm daily, so you can head over for a house-brewed pint and flex your bocce skills on their full-sized indoor court. BNA gets busy on Friday and Saturday nights, so make sure you go early to avoid a queue to play.

Note: BNA also has lots of merchandise in their tasting room that will make great stocking stuffers for Christmas.
