Apex Mountain's Gunbarrel Saloon will soon have a sister restaurant in Summerland.

In an announcement in local Facebook groups, the beans were spilled that Score Pub Group, owned by Jesse Ritchie, will be taking over the old site of the Local by the Summerland Waterfront Resort.

"We are getting ready to start a major renovation to bring Shaughnessy's Cove back to Summerland! It will be owned and operated by the people responsible for Score On Davie, Score on King and most recently Gunbarrel Saloon!" the post reads.

Ritchie recently re-vamped the Gunbarrel Saloon at Apex, and this new venture will be his second in the Okanagan with the Score Pub Group.

Ritchie was not ready to share any more details on the new project when reached this week, but Castanet will have more coming soon.

The anticipated opening date is in May 2021, and the group is already in the process of hiring servers. Anyone interested can drop by the Gunbarrel Saloon while at Apex, or send a resume to [email protected].
