About BNA Tasting Room
This address on Ellis Street in downtown Kelowna is shared with the brewing operation on the same site, and the two appear to be different sides of one business rather than two unrelated ones. A tasting room filed under liquor stores generally means the retail counter: takeaway sales of what is made on site, in cans, bottles or growlers, as distinct from the licensed room where it is served. In British Columbia that split is often a licensing distinction as much as a practical one, since retail sales and on-site service typically fall under different rules even when both run from the same address.
The distinction matters more than it sounds, because the two usually keep different hours and operate under different rules. Retail sales often start earlier and end earlier than the bar, and what can be sold to take away is not always the full range available to drink in. Where a brewery runs both, the retail counter is frequently the quieter way to buy, particularly on evenings when the room itself is busy.
Hours, the range available for takeaway, and whether growler fills are offered are all open questions worth checking directly. Anyone planning a visit specifically to buy rather than to drink should confirm the retail hours directly, since these are the ones most likely to differ from what a general search result reports for the business as a whole.
