New Vernon pub step closer to opening
The newest pub in Vernon should be open in time for the summer tourism season now that it’s received some good news from the province.
The 1516 Pub and Grill on Okanagan Landing Road has been approved for a food primary liquor license by the BC Liquor and Cannabis Regulation branch.
Katie Dahl, vice president of the Vernon-based Dahl Group of Companies which owns the pub, said they are excited at the development.
“It is important that the entire team at the Liquor and Cannabis Regulation Branch be recognized for their hard work,” said Dahl. “Our group has consistently received great service from the liquor board and they rarely get the recognition they deserve. The closing email we got from our case manager said, ‘We are happy to help’, how good is that?”
