The revamp unveiled
In 1926, the construction of the Canadian National Railway station marked a pivotal moment in Kelowna's history.
And now it's undergone its latest transformation.
Situated at 1177 Ellis Street in the city's North End, the old rail station symbolized a significant shift in the region's economic landscape. Its establishment heralded the transition from a primarily water-based economy to one reliant on land-based access and transportation.
Fast-forward to 2011, the once prominent train station was transformed into what is now known today, as The Train Station Pub.
The pub was recently closed for 30 days as it underwent renovations in their restaurant to revitalize its interior while staying true to its heritage.
“Everything we do is about connecting people at The Train Station Pub," owner Dave Lindsay told Kelowna10. "So, we want to make sure we keep that heritage feel."
“There's certainly deficiencies after [the 30 days] we needed to tweak and we ran a few extra days, but it all came together at the end and we're super excited about showcasing it.”
