About the Project

The Train Station Pub, at the corner of Clement Avenue and Ellis Street in downtown Kelowna is a local favourite. The restaurant is in a former Canadian National (CN) Railway station dating back to 1926.

As you step into this establishment, you are greeted by an cosy atmosphere that perfectly blends classic elements of a traditional pub with a modern design solutions.

This hospitality project was completed in a partnership with interior stylist Jaimie Rae of Isabey Interiors.

Together, the two designers developed a comprehensive Tenant Improvement package that features new lighting, customized millwork to create a merchandise wall and revamped booth seating, bar stool and chair upholstery.

The owner's aim was to improve beverage service capacity, and so, a newly designed three-sided bar featuring two pour stations by Perlick. Digital menu boards above the bar also help the staff update the beverage offerings on rotation.

When it came to technology and electrical upgrades, we made sure the bar area and merchandise wall could fit 9 new TV’s for locals to watch the game. Within the merchandise wall, we also made sure there was a spot for the Audio/Visual components that are behind the vented mesh doors.

Vintage railway pieces are also incorporated into the decor - a railway lantern hangs above a salvaged crossing sign.

Other design features include a light stain on the existing wood floor, brass metal accents, and a black and navy blue colour palette that contribute to maintaining the pub's historic ambiance.
