Your Bernard Avenue just got a new late-night spot.

Your downtown is getting a new spot for late-night eats

Good morning from the Okanagan — the lake is calm, the vines are growing, and we have things to discuss.

Okay, but here's the thing nobody talks about: what actually *happens* at City Hall? We see the headlines, sure, but what does it mean for *you*? Well, I’ve been digging through the recent business licenses, and something caught my eye on Bernard Avenue.

### Late-Night Bites on Bernard

Looks like we're getting a new late-night food spot! "The Dirty Spoon" was issued a new business license for a restaurant at 287 Bernard Avenue, right there in the heart of downtown. This is exactly what we need for those nights out when you’re craving something after the bars close, or even just after a Rockets game at Prospera Place. It’s licensed for food primary service, which means they're all about the grub. Their license was processed on June 19th, so it’s fresh off the presses.

Bernard Avenue has been buzzing with new energy, and more late-night options are always a good thing for keeping our downtown vibrant. This isn’t some big chain, either — it’s exactly the kind of local business that makes Kelowna feel like home. Keep an eye on that corner of Bernard; I have a feeling it’s going to be a popular spot.

That's the latest from the MiTL Sports Desk, I’m Nina Papadimitriou, and I'll see you out there.
