The Train Station Pub Kelowna
⭐ The Train Station Pub is known for Poutine and Fish & Chips.
🚂 The Train Station Pub serves up one of Kelowna's most distinctive pub experiences inside the city's historic 1926 railway station, just steps from the downtown waterfront.
The old station has traded arriving passengers for burgers, poutine and Okanagan craft beer, with a lively menu that stretches from Fish & Chips and fully loaded nachos to Butter Chicken and weekend-worthy Eggs Benedict. Its patio is a destination of its own, especially for dog owners, with four-legged guests welcomed with an actual dog menu rather than just a bowl of water. Add Happy Hour, local brews, a buzzing atmosphere and an easy walk to Waterfront Park and Prospera Place, and this century-old station is still bringing people together, just for a very different reason.
