About Lakesider Brewing Co
Up on the Lakeview Heights benches, the slopes around the Boucherie vineyards look out over Okanagan Lake and down toward the bridge. Lakesider Brewing Co works from 835 Anders Road in that neighbourhood, with a phone line at +1 236-766-1144 and more at https://lakesiderbrewing.com/.
A name like this one points toward beer made on site, though what is actually on tap on a given night is best confirmed at the bar rather than guessed from the sign out front. Pubs generally run a mix of taps and bottles alongside a food menu, and what is pouring can change from one visit to the next, which is part of why regulars tend to ask what is fresh rather than order out of habit.
The west side gives a pub a wide catchment. Lakeview Heights, West Kelowna Estates and Rose Valley are all within a short drive, Westbank is minutes away, and the bridge puts Kelowna close enough that crossing over for an evening is unremarkable. Summer brings extra traffic up from Gellatly Bay and the wine country along the bench roads, while winter turns the same neighbourhoods quiet again. Before heading over it is worth checking what is pouring, whether food is served alongside drinks, and how the room handles larger groups, since pubs vary a good deal from one to the next on all of those points.
