If you’re looking to break out of the standard dinner-and-a-movie routine, heading to Red Bird Brewing in Kelowna’s North End for one of their community dance nights is one of the best date ideas in town. A Casual, High-Energy Vibe Red Bird Brewing, located at 1080 Richter Street, has built a reputation as one of Kelowna’s favorite social hubs. Their dance nights run regularly throughout the week and feature a rotating schedule of styles—from Line Dancing Nights to Country Swing Nights, as well as lively Latin Nights.
