The Hourglass — Restaurant in Kimberley

Wow. Talk about a not-so-hidden gem in Kimberley. Came out to celebrate my birthday with my friend, and we both had an incredible time.

The service was incredible. We were seated at the bar as it was a full house around 8PM. Comfortable seats, bar was not cluttered, and the lady working the bar was incredibly friendly.

For drinks; we ordered the Moscow mule and the Monarch. Both were exquisite. If you enjoy gin and citrus, the monarch is a must try.

For food; we opted to share the crostinis and a plate of nachos, not realizing just how much food we were ordering. The crostinis were hands down the highlight of the evening. Perfectly balanced. Would ABSOLUTELY go back for this dish. The nachos were delicious. The corn and the peach salsa played off each other perfectly. The pulled chicken (extra) was moist and well seasoned. The nachos were layered, as they should be, and one order would be more than enough food for three people.

Thank you everyone from The Hourglass for a truly memorable evening and for making my birthday a bit...

After a disappointing experience elsewhere in town, we walked into The Hourglass in Kimberley BC hoping for better—and they absolutely delivered. I asked the host if they could accommodate our group of ten, and without hesitation she offered us a high-top and even pulled over another one to make room. She made sure our older family members had seats with backs and had the entire table set up before I even made it outside to let the rest of my group know we were good to go.

The atmosphere was chic and welcoming, with a touch of class that still felt comfortable and family-friendly. And the food? Spectacular. We had tacos, a fresh and flavorful flatbread, and loaded nachos that disappeared almost instantly. The drinks were equally impressive and beautifully presented.

It’s clear that this team values hospitality and knows how to make every guest feel welcome. Highly recommend if you’re looking for great service, delicious food, and a memorable dining experience...

A friend's group of 16 topped off our three day visit to the beautiful city of Kimberley with a Coctail Party Extraordinaire at the "Hourglass"

Co-owner Ella reserved the front and patio (facing the platzl) of their sweet cocktail and tapas bar just for our group (thank you!!)

We enjoyed a generous cross section of choices from the menu and every one was exceptional - as was our lovely server Levi.

The impressive choice of cocktails (and mocktails), expertly mixed by Ella, were tasty and promptly delivered.

We could deduce from the buzzing crowd of "locals" sharing this little venue with us, the Hourglass has become the "go-to" place for story and friendship in Kimberley.

As the sun set behind the retired Sullivan Minesite, we toasted to an amazing trip and a concensus to...
