When the Fireplace Is On, McCulloch Station Feels Like Home

Step in from the cold, and the first thing you notice isn’t the menu or the bar – it’s the fireplace. That big, beautiful stone gas fireplace in the bottom bar at McCulloch Station Pub is the heart of the room. When it’s on, the whole space changes. The air turns warm and cozy, the light softens, and suddenly you’re not “out at a restaurant” anymore… you’re settled in somewhere that feels familiar, relaxed, and just a little bit magical.

This is your fireside escape in East Kelowna.

A Stone Fireplace That Draws You In

Built into a rustic stone wall, the fireplace is impossible to ignore. Flames flicker behind the glass doors, throwing a gentle glow across the tables and chairs nearby. It gives off real heat – not just for show – so you feel it as soon as you sit down.

Grab a seat near the hearth and you get the best of everything:

Warmth on your hands and shoulders

• A perfect view of the fire
• A front-row seat to the relaxed, neighbourly vibe McCulloch is known for
• It’s the kind of spot where you automatically lean back, exhale, and think, “Okay. This is exactly where I’m supposed to be.”

An Escape from the Hustle of Downtown

Downtown Kelowna in December is busy: traffic, parking, lines in every store, people rushing around with shopping bags and to-do lists. Fun, sure—but not exactly relaxing.

McCulloch Station Pub gives you the opposite experience. Just a short drive away in East Kelowna, you leave the crowded streets behind and trade them for snowy trees, open views, and a slower pace. Inside, the fireplace is glowing, the room is warm, and nobody’s in a hurry.

Instead of standing in a long coffee line with your gloves half on, you’re sitting at a cozy table, watching the fire and waiting for your food to arrive. Instead of weaving through shoppers, you’re catching up with friends, playing a game of cards, or just enjoying a quiet drink while the snow falls outside the big windows.

Fireside Food, Drinks, and Good Company

Of course, a great fireplace deserves great food and drinks to match – and McCulloch delivers.

Picture this:

• A glass of red wine or your favourite local craft beer on the table
• A plate of pub comfort food – burgers, sandwiches, wings, or Yorkshire puddings loaded with roast beef and gravy
• Fries, dips, and share plates laid out between you and your friends

Everything tastes better when you’re tucked in near the fire. The glow of the flames, the clink of glasses, the low buzz of conversation from the bar… it all adds up to that classic neighbourhood-pub feeling that’s getting harder to find these days.

Come on your own and enjoy a quiet meal with a book or your phone. Meet a friend for a catch-up over Happy Hour. Bring the crew and make it your go-to spot for holiday get-togethers. The fireplace doesn’t judge – it just keeps everyone warm.

The Perfect Winter Recharge Spot

After a long day in the cold – running errands, working outside, hitting the trails, or just shovelling the driveway (again) – you deserve a place to thaw out and recharge.

That’s what the fireplace at McCulloch Station does best.

You sit down, feel the heat soak in, and suddenly your shoulders drop, your hands defrost, and your whole body starts to relax. Paired with a hot meal, a cold drink, and friendly service, it’s the reset button you didn’t know you needed.

This is where you:

• Warm up after being out in the snow
• Unwind after work instead of heading straight home
• Take a break from holiday chaos and crowded downtown streets
• Treat yourself to a little “me time” by the fire
