Alexander's Beach Pub & Liquor Store

Some pubs look like a postcard, and Alexander's is one of them, sitting right on Kalamalka Lake with a patio tucked behind hanging flower baskets that somehow never look staged. Soma Cider on tap is the local touch that tells you this isn't a chain trying to fake charm, it's the real, unbothered thing. Order a pint, find a seat with a view of the water, and watch the afternoon slide by. It's the kind of pub built for long lunches that quietly turn into early evenings. Coldstream doesn't have many spots this photogenic that are also this genuinely good. Come for the lake, stay for the cider.
