The Dream Cafe in Penticton

Racist place, that brett martin video is pretty messed up. The owners didnt even do anything

Back to Black the Passion of Amy Winehouse was fantastic! The food was excellent. Great place for live music.

Great band awesome place

Went there to see a band, great food , super nice ppl, and just all-around great places.

Not a lot of vegan options. We were served a plate of huge radishes with their greens for $16. An enormous piece of broccoli on garbanzo beans and light sauce for $22 or so. Love the Dream Cafe but food options for vegans very limited.

Great place, awesome concerts, and lovely waiters !

The brisket melts in your mouth so so delicious! The atmosphere the music this place is a gem in BC. I used to work here about 10 years ago . I miss Pierre owning it, but sure glad it was carried on in his legacy. Been here three times in the last few months and the service is always awesome

Had a great time watching/listening to Harry Manx

Saw some amazing folk music! 3 of us ordered dinner and none of us ate together. One of is waited more than an hour for their meal. Theyd clearly forgotten. Food

This iconic place is heaven for music lovers but the real secret is the new chef he created a Fennel Porcetta to die for with crispy pork belly exterior that was a crunchy heaven. I cant wait to try some other delicacy.

What a wonderful place for live music. So intimate that you feel like you are at a house concert. Top notch talent at affordable prices!

Little space with big atmosphere In Penticton you must check this place out. The John Prine Tribute was fantastic. Outstanding musicians and amazing food.

I was there for Matt Dusk (lounge singer / jazz crooner). The show itself was amazing and beyond any expectations that I had. Perfect environment. Intimate setting. Sound was on point for a live jazz event. Food was really good. Menu options werent vegetarian...but definitely more plant-focused. I did the 3-course chef menu where you tell them any allergies or foods you hate...then the chef makes you whatever he feels like making. Id do it again. What it lacked for in food selection, it more than made up for in the actual venue, atmosphere, sound, lighting, etc. Would 100% definitely return for another show.

Went for dessert and some world class Americana music. Always a dream at the Dream Cafe.

Great food and a sound quality is amazing for concerts!

Went to see the Gliberly quartet with special guests inc Aleena Proteau.food was very tasty,friendly welcoming staff.band was awesome! Very entertaining.stayed all evening. This show was sold out. Food

Thank you for having me Saturday as I took content for Tourism Penticton! So fun getting to meet everyone. Follow along @shewandersearth

Great place to see good music in an intimate setting. It was our first visit and we already have another night lined up. Musical acts seemed to cary in ticket price from $25-$40. I got the chef s choice set menu which was lovely, proper restaurant food, this is not a burger and fries joint: 3 courses plus a small bun for $45. Drinks give or take $10 each. Summary you should go.

It was our first visit last night. What a great venue! The entertainment, food, and beverages were excellent.

Very welcoming cozy environment. My first time at the cafe; was attending show for Shane Koyczan in Dec 2022. Need more local shows by this International treasure! A most memorable evening.

Intimate atmosphere with great sound to listen to top notch acts. Loved it and will be back!

The Dream is a wonderful place. An all around great evening.

I really love the music at the cafe and the food is delicious, however until the venue creates a space for dancing I wouldnt go again.

Great night at the Dream Cafe! If you haven t check it out while in Penticton then you have to stop by. Great wine list and great tunes. Best vibe in town

Wow! What a total gem this place is. Nothing quite compares. Live music, relaxed vibes, and super amazingly delicious food.

10$for a few slices of bread!menu needs improvement!

Went to a comedy show, the act was great but there were several heckling tables, which the owner/establishment would not kick out. They ruined several jokes, and overall ruined the experience of the comedy night. Totally unacceptable to let that type of behaviour continue, most of the venue and the performers were clearly not having a good time

Love the Dream Cafe. Entertainment is always top notch, staff are great and Jimmy the Chef works magic in the kitchen. Saw Chris Griffin there last night and really enjoyed the show. There were a few hecklers but you re gonna get that sometimes especially at a late show. The openers for Chris were quite funny and Chris was hilarious. So funny I peed my glasses several times

Went to the early comedy show on Saturday and it was great. Too bad the second show had some heckling. We have been to almost every comedy night and never heard one heckler. No bouncer needed.

A fantastic evening with the talents of Harry Manx.

Top rated venue in BC and in Canada if you like music, come here.

Love this iconic live music venue! So many great musicians got their start playing here! I can t say I loved my chicken though - so many strange flavour combinations.

The Indigenous evening was filled with some history, good to know, and comedy, so lots of fun and laughter! Indigenous foods were very tasty with lots of water. Serve yourself evening. Had a great time!

Its good to go to dream cafe after many years! Looking forward to catching many more bands here!!

We thoroughly enjoyed ourselves during our first visit here, the day Bobby Messano performed. An excellent little venue that creates an intimate atmosphere in which one can relax and get the best of their evening, unlike the frantic chaos of the typical concert setting. We cant wait to come back, and we hope Bobby does too! Thank you for providing such a unique experience!

Good service and food. That nights entertainment Scott Cook was excellent!

Love this place. Seen a show Saturday night. Food was awesome.

Always, always a great atmosphere. Great music and great crowds.

Awesome venue. Great food. Great service. Attended The greatest Ben Waters and his band performance August 21, 2023. Absolutely fantastic. My first time at the Dream cafe but it wont be my last for sure.

This is a must see place. Every musical act is amazing in this theater

amazing place. Great food, great show and Manda our waitress,was exceptional- efficient, friendly, and went out of her way to ensure everyones needs were met. She is a keeper.

Favorite place to enjoy great music in a beautiful,cozy venue!

Great music venue very quaint, food was average but pricey. The Matinee, excellent band Food

Great live music, not great food, very small portions, way over priced, strange flavours. Suggestion: definitely go to watch a live band, order a drink or two, eat somewhere else.

SOS Pride loves The Dream Cafe and all it represents and supports in the local arts & culture scene. Thank you for supporting our Pride events each year. The Dream Cafe is always an amazing experience - incredible artists to discover as well as favourites who return year after year and a wonderful food & drink menu!

The Dream Cafe is a favourite night out in Penticton. Nothing beats live music and the atmosphere at The Dream is unmatched. Always blown away by the amazing talent showcased on the stage. Their new chef Matt has elevated the menu to new heights, absolutely delicious, seasonal and fresh! Dietary restrictions: Many Gluten free options available!

I had the privilege of seeing Harry Manx, the underrated singer/songwriter. He is a living legend. I only wish he had CDs for sale; I would have purchased one!!!!! See you next time, Harry!!!!!!! PS dinner was delicious! I had the pulled pork quesadea.

Great food and great entertainment. New layout provides lots of room and great views of a larger stage.

My first time at the Dream Cafe. Wow. Wow. Wow.

Love this place! Everything I ve seen here was amazing!

Great and surprising showroom in Penticton. Shows, drinks and food.

Vegetarian options: There were a few vegetarian appies. Kid-friendliness: Not an ideal place to bring children. Wheelchair accessibility: The bathroom was accessible without using stairs.

Thank you Kevin for being so helpful and professional in assisting with our table reservation for Steve Kozak. Really appreciated your hospitality and kindness! The show really rocked the house!

We took in The Fugitives, and had drinks and dinner. The food was great, the entertainment was fantastic, and the ambiance was casual and fun, like a New Orleans speak-easy. We were made to feel very comfortabke and at-home by Kevin. Cant wait to go back! Vegetarian options: Going meat-free options, lots of affordable parking. Parking: parking for only $3 for the evening!

Love this place! Intimate venue with great shows, tasty menu, and amazing staff. You will not be disappointed!

Best place for a fun evening with fantastic entertainment! Staff is amazing

Lovely intimate venue for music, comedy, and more. Great selection of food and beverages, and super friendly staff!

Been here twice, visiting from Manitoba, and I totally adore this gem of a venue. And so do many performing artists I love, who play here on tour from Winnipeg!! Excellent choices for musical acts, great food and beverage menu, and the quirky, cozy atmosphere is second to none! So intimate, and everyone who goes to The Dream is there, fully present, to appreciate every minute of each live show. Pentictonites, please keep supporting one of the best live music venues around, which you get to call your own!

Went there last night to see Jack Garton and Maddie Storvold and it was a fabulous experience! Maddie, Jack, and their band put on n amazing show- I wish I could have brought everyone in Penticton to the show. The staff were super friendly and helpful, they really went the extra mile as far as service goes. the food and drinks were delish and the café itself was a great and intimate venue. Its so great that little old Penticton has a place like this bringing in show-stopping talent at a great price- I highly recommend that everyone checks out the dream café! (Even if you dont think its your scene, I took my parents who are staunch die hard country fans and wont listen to anything else and even they loved it!)

The most intimate and up close venue in the valley, with a atmosphere that cant be beat:)

As always The Dream Cafe did not disappoint. A great venue to see some fantastic acts, great food and amazing ambience. We look forward to the next time we are able to travel back there.

Great venue for live music.

Our first time at The Dream Café this past Friday and we were VERY impressed! Warm and cozy little spot on a very cold wintry night. Different levels give great views of the stage from every seat in the house. Super affordable LIVE music! There were 2 acts this night and both were fantastic. Friendly attentive service staff, and the best part, the FOOD! We both had the beef brisket with wild mushroom ragout and potatoes and it was exceptional. Generous portions, melt in your mouth tender, and so flavourful! Also fantastic was the vegan chocolate cake for dessert. A perfect night out in Penticton.

Great venue for watching musical talent. Well laid out terraced floor plan, so that every table has a good view.

Excellent as usual. Had an amazing bowl of soup! Music was outstanding.

The business hours is all wrong, I was there at 10 and it was close

Great granola hangout. If you like the library and self love? This is your place. Pretty sure I ate grass and some weeds. I think the writers of Baby Shark would love this place. The water was wet.

Please correct your business hours. Its wrong

My favourite live music venue in all of Canada! This little eclectic gem of a place really punches above its weight. The musicians that have played at the Dream Cafe reads like a whos who of Canadian music. Artists and fans alike love the ambiance and the soul of The Dream.

Best ever

As usual a great night of food and entertainment at this gem of a spot. Have been going here for years! Harry Manx was incredible!

Comfy vibe,great ,varied menu,awesome live music A must to experience!

Have been to Dream Cafe a few times, never disappointing and always great entertainment!!

So great! Awesome place for musicians and fans as well. Everyone is so respectful in the room built for listening! Incredible acts and great staff! Bartender knows her stuff!!

Another fab nite at the Dream.

Great venue! Amazing entertainment!

Not the place to go if you want to dance. It would be a good place to listen to mellow music but not anything else.

We enjoyed the music and the ambience

This is really great intimate venue for enjoying music. We are lucky to have The Dream Cafe. Thanks to The Good The Bad and The Blues for making the trip.

Fabulous atmosphere for listening to live music! Food and service was amazing. Will be back!

Its so amazing here. Im hooked.

Always a spectacular time

High octane show tonight -Laila Neverland.

Great place. We had such a good time. Music was incredible,the food was good and the service was amazing

Fantastic experience. Enjoyed everything

I was fortunate to win an opportunity to attend a Dream Cafe concert for Awna Teixeira. The cafe is a cozy dining cafe with a stage for musicians or other performers. The menu was a unique dining experience from the drinks to the food. The concert was wonderful, the food very tasty. I recommend The Dream Cafe for both dining and entertainment. I won the chance to see Tanika Charles there at a later date and enjoyed the music and food! I highly recommend the cafe as a music venue and for the dining experience.

Wonderful food! And its the perfect venue to enjoy live music in an intimate atmosphere. :-)

Eclectic dinner place. If you able? Scan the website...see who will be playing and when you can go....some of the best blues and rock in BC. Great brunch menu on weekends, too.

First time here to see a show. It is the best small venue that I have ever been in. Fantastic place with such nice people who work there....kudos to Hazel and company!

The best sounding concert venue Ive been to. With great desserts to boot.

Great music , good food, awesome little venue.

Love this place. Good food...craft beer....BC wine....and live music!!

I went to see an amazing show, but the seating was way too cramped.

Entertainment has always been excellent. Cant wait to see who they bring in next. Service great. Food also was good. Decaf coffee was slow and refill not so hot.

Awesome place to hear Leeroy Staggers music.

Great venue for listening to a broad genre of artists from all over North America. Tapas menu is good.

Cousin Harley was amazing excellent decor

Great place for live entertainment!

Fantastic music, great food, friendly service. Highly recommend

The entertainment was absolutely amazing. Our server was fast, attentive, and friendly. The food was also very tasty. Would recommend to everyone!

Awesome cozy venue with great entertainment. Hope to visit again when Im in the area.

Terrific...Michael Kashammer..outstanding as always!

Spectacular show... fabulous food... exceptional experience

Last night I had the pleasure listening and watching Micheal kasshammer !!. Words cannot express this priveldge !! THAT MAN CAN MAKE THAT PIANO ROCK..... Fromm boogie woogie to rock n roll to classical !... his accompany band was right there with him ! The service at the DREAM CAFE WAS EXCELLENT! thank YIU to the staff for their hard work and attentive service ! Thank you also to the shareholders that have made this venue possible ! THANK YOU AGAIN MICHAEL! Outstanding evening

Server was a total piece of work. I have only never tipped 2 times in my life and this was one of those times and a 280.00 tab they noticed when I didnt tip. I needed to make a point and I think I did. Tipped the band instead. If I could give a zero stars I would.

Finding It s Voice. I love the Dream Cafe! It s a unique dinner and music venue located in downtown Penticton, BC. I have had the pleasure to see a few shows and taste the delicious choices offered there. The menu was recently revamped and the more recent dinner offerings are fabulous. There is a full bar and I personally loved the Braised Beef with mashed potatoes. Their Caesar salad dressing is out of this world and the seasonal desserts utilize local fruit and a whole lotta love. Delicious!!! This is a lovely place to enjoy incredible independent Touring musicians with a peaceful and appreciative crowd. Guests are asked to save conversations for pre-show, post show and breaks so that all can simply dine, listen and appreciate the vibe in this very special place!

Wonderful space, food, and service. We were a large group of 10 and one of the only places we could find for dinner was Dream Cafe. We didnt stay for the music, but next time qe definitely will. Highly recommended!

Horrific experience. Coffee came after the food (ordered half hour earlier). The bacon side arrived before the coffee or meals, and was cold before food arrived. Received wrong order first. Waited for the correct order which came out without requested mods and cold. Our server was being trained and she was great, but was given too many tables by management and her trainer was absent. Had to ask 3x for the bill.

I went to see David Vest the other night and this place was awesome

Fabulous entertainment

A great location to listen to a group of musicians visiting Penticton recently. Dockside Drive entertained us and all the rest of the patrons in this packed house. Not a bad seat in the house. This is the place to visit

The Dream Cafe has been one of the best places for good food and great music anywhere in the Okanagan for years and years. Its still delivering an awesome live music and dinner experience on an ongoing basis.

This place is romantic and comfy. Food is good too

Good music

I have seen some amazing music here and ate their amazing food... Wow! What a gem! Highly recommend!

Food excellent, service excellent, artist boring, cant believe this wins Junos Colin Whats his name

Mike Field amazing !!

This is a legendary music venue in the Canadian music scene. The food is fantastic, the sound is stellar, the staff are ever-so-sweet, and the acts that this team books are amazing. This is a listening-environment venue - if you re craving an interactive and special musical experience, this will fill your cup. A lot of work and a lot of love go into this little gem. Do yourself a favour and enjoy dinner and a show at The Dream Cafe.

My first time at the Dream Cafe. Had a great time. Loved the music, food and service. Will definitely be back!

Molto Bravo! Very Well Done! Both the Sunday String Band and The Screendoor did a magnifico or magnificent job this evening. Compliments to the Chefs for all of the gluten-free food I ate!

10 stars. Its been at least 9 years since Ive been here. I still think of this place often.

Yummmm

Yummy morsels and great music! Whats not to LOVE?

Loved the small setting with awesome acoustics for show nights. Great food! Try the Turkish balls.

Love the live entertainment!

The Dream Cafe is great! It has all the charm of a lovely, intimate music venue, but also some really tasty food. Definitely hope to make it back.

A most wonderful venue for live music. One of the best.

Wonderful live Act. Great Restaurant and Beautiful Place to hang out. Feels like to sit in a Living Room.

Good concerts!

Best spot for tapas &live music...

Great food, outstanding music

Absolutely the best venue in the Okanagan to hear excellent off the grid musical talent. and a new chef in house has changed up a worn out menu that needed revamping. Great food now. My FAVORITE PLACE

A quaint bistro with a eclectic menu and awesome entertainment.

Cool venue. Good show by Sugar Brown. Good sound. Bad Magarita. Worth checking out for sure.

Great food, service and entertainment.

Amazing place, great food and the entertainment is always excellent no matter what it is. Made for a magical evening

Recently enjoyed Revolutson and Lisa Brokop! Wonderful entertainment with great food! It s a very comfortable and intimate entertaiment venue!

Our second time back and still the same charm. We love this place. Not a lot of room but good food and service. Really really enjoyed the entertainment.

Was great food,great service and great price. I will definitely go back.

Good food and good shows

Fantasic food and entertainment

Awesome shows, great atmosphere, cozy & intimate!

Such a cool an unique place. Food was excellent and the service is great. The live shows here are magical, very intimate and the sound quality is great!

First time there, and we absolutely loved it. Everyone should check this place out. Great tasting food, great music, great atmosphere, and excellent staff. The East Pointers were Awe-sum!!!!!

A wonderful place to enjoy live music.

Amazing night of food and music

Really nice staff, food was good but a bit cold.

great atmosphere, great entertainment (looking at you, tiger moon ), great food, and great service (brittany!)!

Always amazing service, terrific food, and the music never fails.

They are never open.

very nice place ..however very slow

Front row being wowed by Paul Delaurier Band!! Great show, great venue

The Dream Cafe is a unique venue for excellent entertainment. Jim Byrnes took us back in time with his life stories and great music. We were disappointed with our meal though, as two of our three orders were burnt.

Amazing musicians frequently play great music here this is a treasure for Penticton. Whenever I am in town I try to come here to watch a show. Staff is super friendly and the food is fantastic. Highly recommended the Dream Cafe!

Great food and world class music.

Fabulous music venue!

Always a great experience! The dream café never disappoints

Great entertainment and food. Service was very friendly but slow

prices are a little exorbitant. we chose to eat elsewhere before the (great) show and we were glad we did; it still cost $55+ for 2 small slices of dessert ($10 each - more than our dinner was elsewhere) and a $22 pitcher of sangria. (it was 9.50 per glass, so the pitcher was economical, at least...)

Amazing jazz club but not limited to Jazz. Live music. Great food. Lovely atmosphere. Well worth the trip!

It is a very cozy and comfortable environment with awesome music and great customer service

Excellent dinner, great service, great show
