Reviews of Bad Tattoo Kelowna (Tattoo Shop)

Great food and service. A unique combination of excellent craft beer and artisan pizza.

Tim Young

Total disregard to public safety. My husband loved the beer and we were excited to go to the restaurant until we saw the owner post in the media he won’t be fallowing covid safety passport orders. Very sad to hear as were looking forward to going. I guess we will have to find another safe brewery to visit come Sept 13th. Hopefully the owner will change his mind!

Knotty bread is literally to die for. Amazing food, staff and beer.

I love Bad Tattoo! The beers are 10/10 ; I can’t believe how incredible the flavours are for their cocktail beers! Also the counter flow brewing is so ridiculously tasty! The pizzas are also incredible and made exactly as they are supposed to be with the 710 degree oven cooking them to perfection! The knotty bread is so ridiculously tasty I couldn’t believe it! However the duck confit was a bit dry for me personally but that doesn’t change the level of my review as the Russian roulette was totally awesome and WOW spicy! The service is fantastic and it’s so cool how you can see the BOH making the pizzas! I recommend this place to everyone!! ????????????

Beers are nice but food option is quite limited, anyway they taste so goooood ???? will come back, miss the pizza already. Service is good as wel

Jason Mathews

Would be better if they actually had in stock more than half their beers, but they “just ran out” of half the menu both times I was here. The food is also overpriced compared to similar establishments in the area. But otherwise, it’s a great venue and if they can get their beer inventory figured out, it could be a great, albeit expensive, place to go.

Great place, great people. Great Canadian! Definitely high On my list!

Danae Moodley

The cheesy knot bread was to die for! Will return over and over for this alone. The pizza and drinks were also extensive and delicious combinations!

Amelia Mudge

Spanikopizza is THE best pizza, we also tried a pizza with duck and it was delicious. Beer is always so, so good. So happy to have a location in Kelowna, we also really appreciated the following of COVID protocols. Love this restaurant. Ignore the salty one star reviews.

Mike Morrison

Unbelievable service. There was a bit of the mix up on getting the order to the kitchen staff; and they totally just took care of the bill for us. Super friendly server, atmosphere, and the drinks are obviously on point! Amazing pizza, and the early 2000's R'n'B playlist was giving me some serious memories!

Nomads

Erin at this location is phenomenal. Amazing service, professional, and fun. Will be continuing to come back.

Paul “Roaddog”

Went on Monday. Refreshingly tasty fruity beers(stouts are my world so that says something ;) and tasty pizzas!

Damian Herman

So damn good! We enjoyed the flight of beer, some very unique flavors - favorite was Bad Light (mostly for the name) and for pizza, so delicious! We were feeling dangerous and went with the roulette pizza... 10/10 and it was spicy, but amazing. My cousin noted this was the best pizza he has ever had in his life.

chelsa meadus

Great beer, great location, and great service!

ALEXANDER LINKE

Ok atmosphere. Kind of bland. Good pizza though.

Pat Nugent

Excellent! Food was amazing. Service was excellent. Location is the bomb. 2 blocks from home! You r killing it so far. This was our first visit. Pics show Hot Chicks ans Pazzo Italion. We be bak 4 sur

Sarah B

A place that respects our freedoms and choices! Cant get better than that. Support those who support us!!!

Brittany Melnychuk

Yummy pizza and beer, the chai stout was perfect!

I eat out More than you

Probably one of the most exciting additions to the culinary food scene in Kelowna this year. Definitely was not disappointed we had two pizzas and they were bang on fantastic. The beers are always good the staffer super friendly and it's just a great place to hang out. Still got some work to do on the decor but for just opening up this place is tops.

Leah Carlson

Great beer, great service, great pizza, the best actually!! I love how the pizza pairings dance in your mouth and how refreshing the beer is!! A must stop if your ever through Kelowna♡

Connor Cunningham

You guys rock. And to Ray, no one is forcing you to come here. You'll have all sorts of places that will force you to follow silly little passport rules. Enjoy.

trei Nylan (SubieTrei)

Fantastic beer, and they require vax proof. Cool atmosphere, great location....next visit, the food!!

Jeff Harris

Great vibe and best beer in town

Sarah Wallensteen

Great food. Love the Notty Bread and Juice Bomb beers. So delish!

Lindsay Allman

Great pizza and delicious beer! Workers are very friendly. Would recommend adding along your beer trip in Kelowna or Penticton.

Brandon (BrandStrand)

Finally in K-town! Food is so good staff and servers are on point, definitely try the black cherry float, and the Donair pizza.. I know, I know... you are supposed to go for the beer which is epic, but the food is amazing It is definitely very loud environment, wish it was a tad quieter, but I'll probably just sit outside on the patio next time

Val Saul

I had an amazing experience there last Sunday. Great server, great suds and an absolutely amazing wicked pizza!! Bought a "growler" to take home... already drank it lol. Hoping to make it a common haunt to get my pizza and beer fix! Thanks to all. ????????

Pamela Michelle

Friendly staff and great beer. I love the Pina colada beer!

Thor Eide

Loved the selection of Craft Beers available. Only one was sold out but it didn't look or sound that interesting to me anyhow. Super friendly and knowledgeable server who tended to our table very efficiently. Will be coming back again to try another flight!

Bekah H

Loved the Brewshetta with a pint of Bad Light. Best craft beer in the valley. Looking forward to next round!!

Jay

Probably the best place you can go DT kelowna for food and beer.

Nicole Strandholm

I am a huge fan and supporter of Bad Tattoo and I am so happy they finally have a location in Kelowna! The food, beer, and service are always excellent :) Thank you Bad Tattoo for respecting everyone and taking a stand against discrimination ???? To everyone writing bad reviews regarding vaccination status - The CDC and BMJ have stated that fully vaccinated people can carry as much virus as unvaccinated people and that the vaccines do not prevent transmission. They were never designed to prevent transmission. They were designed to attenuate symptoms and prevent severe disease and/or hospitalizations. The Los Muertos Cerveza Negra, the CounterFlow beers, the Herbivore, and Spanakopizza are my favourites!

Matt Weiler

I have no idea why it's rated 4 stars. But the beers and food are just very, very good!

I just want to express how awesome our waitress Erin was during our time at Bad Tattoo, especially considering they were short staffed and only two servers.....she was the absolute bomb, just frickin amazing we loved her ❤ Cheers ????

Kevin Yamaoka

Loved the La Vida lager , the vegan pizza with calliflower and the music!! Great atmosphere to enjoy with friends and/or fam !

Megan Howarth

Loved it! Having tried the brewery in penticton a few months ago we wanted to give the new location a go. Very pleased with our vegan pizzas (sad about the lack of the BBQ jackfruit pizza though) and our server, Erin. Would gladly come back whenever we are in Banff!

Diane Vaneck

I love their beers and pizza. The service has always been fantastic.

Leanne Nicholson

Great brews and top notch pizza

Charlie Kemp

Brought my mom for dinner. Ordered the Cajun Chicken pizza and thought about leaving as soon as I saw the pizza but thought it would be rude. Anyways, it was the thickness of 2 quarters on-top of eachother, barely had any Chicken, was very dry with burnt edges on about half the crust, and slightly more tasty than wheat crackers. I covered the entire thing in Rance sauce. All of that for 25 dollars. Please don't come here. The service was good nothing more.

Jessica Hedrick

This place has been blowing up since they opened. Great location. Loved the tasting flights and the service but the food left something to be desired. For a place that spins their own fresh dough it was not as fresh as I would have liked. Flavors were good. But presentation needs a little bit of work

This was our first visit to this brewery. The beers were all very tasty! Daylen’s service was above and beyond! He was extremely personable and easy to talk to. We liked the brewery when we walked in but Daylen’s hospitality ensured that we LOVED it when we left! We will be back!

Brenda Cortés

Went for lunch on day after opening. Expecting typical new opening bomb as staff get trained and the chef practices cooking. Really a pleasant surprise! Pizza was fantastic . . . and we are not easy to please. I have enjoyed their beer before but my wife not a beer drinker. We each ordered the test flight, (always fun in itself) and out of ten samples, we only punted two as they were too citrusy (if that's a word) for us. Will go back for sure. BYW, our service was as good as it gets for this type of establishment.

That Farm

Tasty vegan pizza and flight of fruity beers. I will be back!

Emmanuel Escobar

This place have a lot of beers. I would definitely suggest to take the flight of beers and try them. You may find some really good and some other with weird flavors. However, is a good experience. About the food, can just say that the sandwiches are fair, I’d like them hot instead, but the ingredients and flavor is good. The staff is very friendly, gotta come back and try more beers!

Tyrel Craig

Good beer Good food Good vibe great place

asap

Excellent, highly recommend! Even more so now that they have shown such moral fibre in standing their ground not to discriminate and uphold Canada Charter of Rights and Freedom. Keep it up guys!

Kristy

Love this place, they are friendly to everyone no discrimination here????

Luc Bedard

Over hyped. Over priced. Nice place for a pint but there are better.

Jason Agnew

Calabrese pizza was awesome ask for truffle oil drizzle to enhance it!! You'll be amazed. ????????and don't forget to try the hot sauce!! Not for the weak!! ????????

Vanessa MacGregor

Don't be takin' your anger out on these guys and their wonderful place... Sorry that you've got a slow and agonizing implementation of Fascism confused with health and safety. The "health and safety" measures you guys are whinin' about genuinely don't work. Meanwhile these guys are making sure history doesn't repeat itself. And that works for me. Oh, you know what else works? Dank pizzas. Five stars ✨????

Scott Westbank

Service was slow. Food was overpriced. Seemed to be run by school kids. Anywhere else is better.

Leahm Miller

Beers were great, good atmosphere. Pizzas were sub par

Brittany Marshall

Delicious beer and pizza, can't ask for much more! Great patio and super friendly staff make Bad Tattoo a must visit in Kelowna.

Jarrod Reimann

Love bad tattoo, used to drive out to penticton all the time and wait for as long as we needed to but Kelowna you need to figure it out. Constantly out of your own beers and short on service staff it would seem. We’ll keep trying and I hope to review higher next time.

Rod Courtepatte

The pizza was good and their beer is great. The service was slow, but friendly - I think it was busier than expected.

Kelly Tomes

8 of us went last night for eats and drinks. Beers were excellent so too was our server Erin. Food was decent but not off the charts. Real nice decor and vibe. Worth a visit!

Sean Algor

Waited for a long time for the few mediocre beers that they had left, in a crowded environment where I did not feel safe. Now they have publicly announced refusing to enforce measures that would keep people safe, and help put an end to this pandemic that we're all so tired of. Wrong side of history...

Guesse Kraig

What an over the top place, so many beers to choose from. Wish there were a few more dark beers, but I digress. The beers I had were good, May have to come back for some food!

Dallas Smith

had a phenomenal time the other night being served by erin! she was so accommodating, friendly and hilarious. she made my evening an experience and i’ll definitely be back because of her! ❤️

Andrew Mills

Wow! Pizza wonderful, beer amazing and service even better. Erin blew us out of the water with samples, jokes kindness and extra pizza when order was put in wrong….so so good. Visiting From Calgary but will make a point of returning whenever possible. Go here…

Gwenda Gravely

Friendly staff, great atmosphere, the beers were awesome. A must try would be the Knotty Bread. Great app for the table, I promise you will not be disappointed.

Raptor Neurohypophysis

Erin our server was upbeat and so much fun. She made our experience awesome. She really brings the vibes up!! Service was incredible, Erin checked in often and always had a smile. Great thin crush pizza and craft beers.

Etienne de Muelenaere

Great pizza and great service. Bartender was an awesome guys

Alana B

I loved this place before and now that they have stated they would never act contrary to the charter of rights and freedoms, while respecting medical privacy and freedom of choice, I LOVE THEM EVEN MORE. Enforcing these massively over reaching vaccination passports will not end the pandemic. They will only end your freedom and sovereignty. Well done Bad Tattoo.

Chris Castano

The beers are excellent but unfortunately I can't say that about the kitchen. If you want to drink good beer: absolutely recommendable!

Holger K

Visited knowing that I am welcome irrespective of my private, medical choices. Exceptional quality beers. Very good food with unique flavours. Staff are perfect ???? We plan on coming back to bad tattoo OFTEN!!!!

Jay Borden

Kelowna location: They have a large selection of beer; none of which are great or noteworthy. Pizzas comes soggy, second time the entree was cold to the touch - server even said “yikes” after she felt the temperature, the server was fantastic though!! Seems management isn’t quite there.

BooTee LoopZ

Go for the pizza, stay for the craft beers and ciders!!! What a great place. Awesome atmosphere and that server Erin is such a wonderful bunch of joy. She makes going there 10× better

A S

Very Good for and beers

Alex Reichel

ERIN! She is truly a gem and and the heart of this brewery. She totally turned our experience around after coming from the brewery across the street. Her positive energy guaranteed our trip back on Friday night! As locals, we truly appreciate the energy she gives off. Thanks for making our evening great! 5 stars! She’s just so wonderful!

Jared Scofield

Great place, great people. This is a wonderful place to go for an all around great time.

selena wilson

Beer is good but ordered two of their bowls and $17 for a bowl of pretty much just romaine lettuce is ridiculous! They need to work on their “bowls” and actually add something more hearty than just a head of lettuce. Also had the Aloo Gobi pizza and it was ok, needs some more flavour. Will be back for beer but not for food.

Keith Berry

This place was recommended by a local for great pizza. The place was hopping. It was a 40 min wait for a table which is fine, but right away we were seated inside when we specifically asked for a patio table when we put our name in to wait. Our server was awful. He gave us warm water, forgot one of our group members drinks, and didn’t come back for another 20 mins or so to take our order. We ordered an appetizer and a large pizza, which tasted decent. Not amazing, but good. Another server was going table to table asking about who ordered an appetizer. I think she found the right people after three tables. Then she came back and tried to give us a second order of our appetizer which we finished 10 mins prior and did not order another. When it was time to pay, we waited around for another 20 mins or so until the server came back. He chatted with us while we paid and one of our group members was in mid sentence answering his question when he grabbed the machine, turned around, spoke with another server momentarily, and walked away without another word to us. Honestly, it would have been fine if the service was decent. The server honestly should be fired. He was so disrespectful, and we wanted to ask for his tip back right away. No one in the section was happy with him by the looks on everyone’s faces. Decent food, Terrible service.

Scott Reynolds

Not nearly as good looking of a restaurant as Penticton, which I’m surprised about considering this is Kelowna. Please bring back the soft pretzels, that was the main reason we went to bad tattoo in Penticton and am so sad that they are not on the menu for Kelowna. Food was good though.

Natasha Elliott

Have been going to the Penticton location for many years and buying their beers at the BCL. Was looking forward to trying this location, however this sadly won't be happening. The owner has publicly committed to not enforcing covid rules meant to protect those who are unvaccinated. More importantly choose not to protect their staff who interface with hundreds of customers per day. All in the name of so called rights. Newsflash, 3/4 of the population is vaxxed, so you're trying to satisfy the vocal minority by not only breaking health orders, but prolonging the pandemic further. Hope those same vocal minority are able to keep you afloat before they get sick themselves or you get forcibly shut down. You've lost a loyal customer for life.

Scott Switzer

Ignore the troll posts with 1 stars. This place is fantastic! Great beers and tasty foods.

Joshua Korten

So impressed with this place ! Great food, great beer and great vibes . So much respect for them as a business standing up for the rights of individuals in this province . We see you and appreciate you ????

Andrei Burlacu

Incredible service with great pizza. Get a flight of beer so you can sample 5 different kinds at a time. Highly recommend this place.

Levi Maximick

A sweet expansion for bad tattoo their beer selection is phenomenal and they constantly get new ones in. Their pizzas are also very delicious I can't wait to try more
