97 Street Pub is a pub at Best Western Plus Kelowna with live entertainment and musician bookings. This is a stronger fit for acoustic players and compact ensembles than for a large, high-volume production. Acoustic and singer-songwriter are the clearest fits for the room. It is a 21+ room with an adult audience. This is a working-room gig where crowd connection and a flexible set matter more than elaborate stagecraft.

Venue review
The musician's read
The Blue Gator is long-running Kelowna live-music pub with bands performing Friday and Saturday nights. The programming spans Rock, Blues, R&B, and Dance, giving artists a useful sense of what already works in the room. Site describes recurring Friday/Saturday local-band programming. The venue is set up for established live-music bar with regular full bands. The useful skill here is reading the room: musicians need enough presence to be a reason to stay without fighting the food-and-drink side of the business. The room has more value when the performer can turn a social crowd into listeners without disrupting the atmosphere.

Barn Owl Brewing is community-focused Kelowna brewery with recurring live music every Sunday and Wednesday. The programming spans Acoustic, Folk, Singer-songwriter, and Multi-genre, giving artists a useful sense of what already works in the room. The venue is set up for limited — recurring live music; verify full-band footprint for larger acts. A brewery crowd is social by nature, so musicians who can hold attention without turning the room into a volume contest should do well here. That combination makes it more useful than a taproom that treats music as an occasional extra.
