    The best place we visited in Kelowna! My boyfriend and I ended up here from a recommendation and we came back 2 days later with our friends as we had such a great experience the first time. We tried so many drinks and they were all outstanding! Samir is very outgoing and was a big reason we returned, his creativity and knowledge is an amazing asset. We took a take home cocktail kit back to Calgary for our memories and it didn’t last long

    Thank you so much for the lovely review, Deeana! We're so glad you enjoyed the full Born to Shake experience. Thank you so much for the note about Samir - we've shared your feedback with him, and we're so grateful to have him on the team! We look forward to seeing you again the next time you're in town!

    First time at Born to Shake was excellent. The ambiance was lovely, the food was great, the cocktails were delicious and the service was top notch. I will say the drinks were a bit pricey but this seems to be more the norm these days. I will definitely be back for another evening of cocktails and small bites.

    Erika, thank you so much for the kind words and the five stars. We appreciate you taking the time to leave us a review, and we're so glad to hear you enjoyed your time with us. Regarding the pricing of our cocktails, lots of love and work goes into them, from the citrus and fruit juices we squeeze in-house to the high-quality spirits and liqueurs we use in our well - we hope this brings you value for your dollar knowing you're enjoying a very high quality, hand-crafted cocktail! We look forward to seeing you again soon!
