Doc Willoughby's
353 Bernard Ave, Kelowna, BC
Phone: 250.868.8288
Doc Willoughby's was one of the hottest clubs for rock music in Kelowna for decades. It was located right downtown on
Bernard Ave. It was a relatively small pub that served great pub fare. They had a tiny stage that they managed to squeeze rock bands onto on a
regular basis, and they also had an equally small mosh pit / dance floor in front of it which in normal times was often packed to the gills.
