Stone & Wood Public House Kamloops

Brisket, ribs, chicken and pulled pork are smoked in-house, with early favourites like the Brisket Burger, steak sandwich, Salt & Pepper Wings and Low & Slow BBQ Brisket already earning enthusiastic reviews. A lively patio with occasional live music, a strong beer and cocktail selection and space for everything from casual dinners to large celebrations give Stone & Wood plenty of reasons to settle in. Right in the heart of downtown near Riverside Park and the city’s hotels and shops, it’s a new chapter for a familiar Kamloops restaurant address with smoke, barbecue and modern public-house food at the centre of it.
