City staff has given a recommendation of support for an intriguing new business on Ellis Street.
The proposal for Revelry Food + Music Hub was first brought to City Hall last August, and while staff has made a few tweaks, the concept remains the same.
Located across from the Okanagan Regional Library, the three-storey establishment would serve as a restaurant, music hall or urban ballroom depending on the event.
Plans call for three food and beverage locations throughout the venue, which will feature seating on the main floor and an open second level that will allow for vantage points of the stage.
“Revelry Food + Music Hub is poised to attract locals and visitors to the downtown core, especially during early evening hours, helping to promote economic vibrancy and create spillover benefit for adjacent businesses,” the application reads.
“While various events may occur during both the day and night periods, evening events will be earlier with most performances targeting a start time of 8 p.m.
“This will result in patrons exiting out in time to support other businesses open in the evenings and help support more businesses staying open in Kelowna at night.”
City council will consider the proposal during a Tuesday night public hearing, which you can watch live by clicking here.
