Testimonials

Ricochet is a gem in the heart of the city. Their commitment to local sourcing and community engagement is evident in every aspect of the taphouse.

The rotating selection of BC craft beers and ciders keeps every visit exciting. The staff is knowledgeable and always ready to recommend something new.

The beer cheese mac & cheese is a must-try! It’s great to see a menu that supports local food businesses.

From the moment you walk in, you’re greeted with warmth. The full table service enhances the experience, making it a perfect spot to relax and enjoy.

A great place for a pint and a visit with friends! We love the kind and amazing staff, the flight combos, and tasty beers.

We really enjoyed our experience at Ricochet. We remember when they were just launching at the markets and to see what they have launched it into, is incredible! They have a fantastic range of beers on tap. We loved that they have a great range of their own brewing, but they also had some other company’s beers on the menu to make sure they had a really strong variety. The food was great and the service was top notch. We also loved getting to sit and play crib.

What an amazing spot in Salmon Arm! They have 36 taps featuring their own beer and a wide variety of other BC craft beer and cider. The food options they bring in from local kitchens and restaurants are delicious. I loved the meat pie!
It’s also a family friendly spot that has games and a kid’s snack flight that features taster glasses with drinks, candy and cheezies! My kids absolutely loved it. Plus the owners, Marc and Meaghan, are two of the nicest people you’ll meet. I can’t wait to come back!

We love Ricochet!! Salmon Arm has been dying for some cool, late night options and this place is it. A classy atmosphere with a casual vibe – my absolute favourite combo.

One of the best places in Salmon Arm! M&M have created a space that embodies community and family, near and far. Their support of various Brewers across BC truly shows their dedication to support local & small businesses in the industry and what makes the bones of Ricochet so strong. The energy here is always contagious, whether you’re on a date with your spouse, out with the girls, or soaking in a Saturday afternoon with your kids. Their unique business model of allowing you to bring your own food in is unlike anything else in Salmon Arm and truly sets them apart. The family friendly nature allows parents to enjoy a good pint without having to go to a pub while your kids enjoy a Kids Flight and a game of cards. You can’t forget the Adult Flights, because who doesn’t want cheesies & candy even if you are grown! Whether you’re a local or just passing through, visiting Ricochet is a must!

A fabulous atmosphere! Local beer and ciders with something for everyone! The kids’ flights are a hit with my family and if you choose to order food it’s delicious. I also love that you can choose to bring in your own food as an option. Staff are super friendly! A must stop if in downtown Salmon Arm!

Great Brewery! Visiting from AZ and came in to try some local beers. Lots of selection and the ones I had were so good. The salt lager and lavender cider are my favs! Very welcoming and nice inside/outside seating.

36 rotating taps of BC’s craft brews and ciders. Local wine and spirits for amazing cocktails and mocktails. A fun vibe, awesome patio, locally made menu and the fact you can bring in whatever food from local establishments you want for the whole group, such a well planned and thought out experience. My friends and family all love coming to Ricochet!

My husband and I went for a flight and dinner while on a getaway in Salmon Arm. 10/10 recommend putting this on your itinerary. We’ve been to countless breweries over the years and this was one of our favourite experiences. The service was personal, the food and beers were excellent, and the atmosphere was so relaxing. Some favourite touches were adding cheesiest and candy to a half flight and enjoying a board game together (Friends trivia!). While our baby was at home, there were also touches that make us want to come back as a family to enjoy another visit. Don’t miss out.

We held an event in their taproom and had such a wonderful time there. The staff were so kind and the owners were super great to work with while organizing the event, and while the event went on. If you are looking for a great venue for an event I highly recommend coming here!
