Summary
A local's guide to the best Monday food and drink specials in Kelowna. Find out where to get cheap wings, happy hour deals, and exactly what to order.
In this article:
The best Monday food specials in Kelowna are half-price wings at Montana's BBQ & Bar, the 2 to 5 PM happy hour at Central Kitchen + Bar and Pachos at Kelly O'Bryan's. This guide covers ten spots downtown, in the Landmark District, in the Mission and on Banks Road, with Monday deals, happy hours and what to order. Mondays are quieter than weekends, and waitlists are rare.
Monday patterns change with the season. Downtown clears out by 8 PM in the winter months, while in summer the patios near the lake stay busy until midnight. The best-value options are generally away from the boardwalk.
| Spot | Monday deal or happy hour | What to order |
|---|---|---|
| Mid-Town Station | Happy hour on drinks and share plates; check current times | Dirty fries |
| Leopold's Tavern | Weekly specials; check the current Monday deal | Buffalo chicken poutine |
| BNA Brewing | Super Save Hour, 5 to 6 PM daily | Steamed pork buns |
| Central Kitchen + Bar | Happy hour, 2 to 5 PM daily | Truffle fries |
| Train Station Pub | Happy hour, 2 to 5 PM and 9 PM to close | Dick McCheese burger |
| Montana's BBQ & Bar | Half-price wings with a drink purchase | Wings |
| Bernie's Supper Club | Happy hour, 4 to 6 PM daily | Pesto Parm fries |
| Kelly O'Bryan's | Happy hour, 2 to 5 PM and 9 PM to close | Pachos |
| Original Joe's | $2 off margaritas; happy hour 2 to 5 PM and 9 PM to close | Truffle parm fries |
| Tonics Pub | Opens 4:30 PM Mondays; check drink specials | Spicy chicken sandwich |
Mid-Town Station
Mid-Town Station Kitchen + Drink | 1615 Dickson Ave | $$
Mid-Town Station Kitchen + Drink is the main happy hour option in the Landmark District, with deals on drinks and share plates. Monday times can change, so check the current schedule before going. The summer patio faces away from the highway, which keeps it quieter than expected.
Order the dirty fries, which are loaded with cheese and reliably crispy. The standard burgers are better elsewhere. If a local cider is on tap, it pairs well with the heavier food.
The catch: parking in the Landmark area is difficult before 5 PM, and the parkade fills with office workers. A late lunch or early dinner avoids the worst of it.
Leopold's Tavern
Leopold's Tavern | 279 Bernard Ave | $$
Leopold's Tavern is a small, loud downtown pub known for beer, fried food and walls covered in dive bar memorabilia. Leo's runs weekly food and drink specials; check the current Monday deal before going. It fills early even on Mondays, so arrive before 5 PM for a table.
The poutine is large enough for two, and the buffalo chicken version is the standard order. Service is fast and direct. It's not a place for a quiet conversation or a light meal.
BNA Brewing
BNA Brewing Co. & Eatery | 1250 Ellis St | $$
BNA Brewing Co. & Eatery is a downtown brewery with an eatery and bowling lanes, and one of the city's best-known spots (see our guide to the best breweries in Kelowna). Its daily Super Save Hour runs from 5 to 6 PM. The steamed pork buns are the standout, and the pizzas suit a group.
The catch: Monday bowling lanes are often booked weeks ahead, so reserve in advance. Walk-ins for the eatery are usually fine. Summer Mondays draw bachelor parties; winter Mondays are quieter. The small lot behind the building is usually full, so park on Ellis.
Central Kitchen + Bar
Central Kitchen + Bar | 1155 Ellis St | $$
Central Kitchen + Bar, across the street from BNA, runs happy hour from 2 to 5 PM daily, with drink deals and discounted truffle fries. The fries are reliably crispy. The large patio is dog-friendly.
The catch: the restaurant is next to the arena and gets crowded on hockey and concert nights. Check the arena schedule before going. Service slows when it's busy, so order the next drink early. The music is loud, which makes it a poor fit for business meetings.
Train Station Pub
Train Station Pub | 1177 Ellis St | $$
Train Station Pub runs happy hour twice a day, 2 to 5 PM and 9 PM to close, in a converted train station with a large brick patio. The Dick McCheese burger is the one to order, and discounted flatbreads are also available. The beer list focuses on local Okanagan breweries.
The catch: service slows when the patio is full. Register your licence plate at the front door to avoid a parking ticket. Our list of Kelowna happy hours has more spots with late-night deals.
Montana's BBQ & Bar
Montana's BBQ & Bar | 1500 Banks Rd | $$
Montana's BBQ & Bar runs a Monday wing deal: half-price wings with the purchase of a drink. The wings are dusted twice, fried and heavily sauced. Skip the ribs. The wings are the reason to go.
It's in the Banks Road retail strip near Orchard Park, just off the highway, with free and easy parking. That makes it a practical choice from Glenmore without driving downtown, and a visit can take forty-five minutes. The room is loud and family-oriented.
Bernie's Supper Club & Cinema
Bernie's Supper Club | 353 Bernard Ave | $$$
Bernie's Supper Club is a retro-styled downtown restaurant best suited to a date, with a daily 4 to 6 PM happy hour. Order the Pesto Parm fries and a City Limits cocktail. The food is more upscale than most happy hour menus, making it a good choice to impress a date without a large bill. The room is dark and not suited to large groups.
The catch: cocktails take time, so order the second when the first arrives. Parking on Bernard Avenue is limited at all hours. Walk, take a cab, or park off Bernard.
Kelly O'Bryan's
Kelly O'Bryan's Neighborhood Restaurant | 262 Bernard Ave | $$
Kelly O'Bryan's is known for Pachos, waffle fries topped with cheese and green onions, and for its rooftop patio overlooking the lake. Happy hour runs 2 to 5 PM and 9 PM to close. The rest of the menu is less distinctive.
The rooftop is very hot in July. Around 8 PM is cooler, and it's sunset time. The indoor dining room is dark, so sit outside when possible.
Original Joe's
Original Joe's | 2728 Pandosy St | $$
Original Joe's is a consistent chain option in the Mission. The truffle parm fries and dynamite shrimp are affordable and reliable. Its location page lists $2 off margaritas on Mondays and a daily happy hour from 2 to 5 PM and 9 PM to close.
The catch: the plaza parking lot is congested. Parking on a side street is faster. The patio overlooks the lot, so a booth inside is the better seat, and the air conditioning makes it a good option on hot July evenings.
Tonics Pub
Tonics Pub | 1654 Ellis St | $$
Tonics Pub is a downtown pub known for large portions and some of the best pub food in the city. On Mondays it opens at 4:30 PM; check with the pub for current drink specials. The spicy chicken sandwich is the signature order. The waffle fries are heavily seasoned, and the house-made dill dip is worth adding.
Service is quick, the crowd is mixed (trades workers, office staff and university students) and the music is usually rock or early hip hop. It doesn't take reservations, so arrive and take a high top. Parking on Ellis is limited, but there's a paid lot across the street.
