Pentictonѻýs Bad Tattoo Brewing is expanding its business to Kelowna later this summer.
Scheduled to open in early July, the restaurant will be located in the cityѻýs brewery district at 740 Clement Avenue ѻý right at the heart of downtown Kelowna.
ѻýWe feel really good about it. Just the way Kelownaѻýs growing and whatѻýs going on in the downtown core, to be a part of that, we think itѻýs going to be amazing,ѻý said Ryan Gurney, who will serve as the general manager and part-owner of the future location.
Originally opening in 2014, Bad Tattoo Brewing features 20 different beers on tap and several different pizza variations.
Gurney said that restaurant-goers in Kelowna should expect a Bad Tattoo setting with a different feel and different look to it.
ѻýThe core will be the same. Pizza and beer will be our focus, but thereѻýll definitely be some updates versus what weѻýve been doing here in Penticton,ѻý he said.
The focal point of the restaurant will be crafting a new atmosphere that radiates ѻýenergy.ѻý
ѻýThatѻýs all Iѻýll say for now. Amazing beer, amazing pizza, and weѻýre going to match that with the atmosphere,ѻý he said.
The Kelowna location will also be home to a pilot brewing system, which will test batches that can be brewed at the Penticton brewery.
ѻýThis is big for us. To get more brand recognition, to get our brand out there and be part of the community. Itѻýs very exciting,ѻý he said.
