Our Story

We are four friends who share a love for great food, delicious drinks, hosting friends, spending time in the Okanagan, and dogs (not necessarily in that order). So naturally that led us to open a pub. But why the name?

We wanted our place to be a celebration of the region, so, as many British pubs have done, we looked for unusual history as inspiration. And we found it.

In 1935, newspapers across Canada reported on a strange phenomenon: in Oliver, there seemed to be no fleas. As one paper put it, “Oliver is the paradise of dogdom. Here the flea is unknown.” And voila, the name was born.

Welcome to The Flealess Hound, a community hub offering inspired pub fare with local ingredients. Sit, stay, and come back soon.
