    Liked this place so much ... went back again while in Banff for several days The pizza is great and also got the wings with Apple butter BBQ sauce. Came in a hot skillet and were fantastic. The folks here are great !

    Nice ambiance and has a dog friendly patio out front plus and extra garden patio behind the restaurant. Good summer spot for a few drinks and some pizza. We had the bison pizza when we were here last. crust is made in house from sourdough and they have a few interesting choices for toppings. Service was friendly and quick.

    After our hike, we were craving classic bar food and a cold draft beer. Totally on us for not checking the menu first, we assumed 'tavern' meant more variety, but it was mostly pizza. No biggie. We each got a personal pan pizza (you'll definitely want your own, they're on the smaller side). Prices were a bit steep--over $25 each once you factor in drinks, and the beers were more than $12 each, so the bill added up fast. The pizza itself was just okay, but adding the honey really took it up a notch--that was the game changer. The staff was incredibly sweet and attentive, which made the experience much better overall.

    Really enjoyed our visit! We tried the Canadian and godfather pizzas, both were delicious. The salad was surprisingly huge and really good too. Service was quick, and we loved the fun atmosphere, especially the wall covered with dog photos. Great chill spot.

    A Canadian pizza- the special ingredient you ask? Maple syrup

    Highly recommend checking out this spot if you're in Banff. They have a large indoor restaurant as well as a large outdoor patio (dog friendly). The food was excellent! We were pretty hungry so we got 2 pizzas - both were excellent! The bison was my favorite (plus you have to love a unique pizza topping). The service was amazing- everyone was so friendly and helpful. Will definitely be back

    This was so good and great service. The food was delicious esp the kids Mac and cheese!!! The pizzas we had were great and fresh. Quick service and definitely don't miss out on the brownie dessert!!

    Great spot to relax and enjoy pizza! The Big Bird hit the spot! Loved the freshness and flavor of the pesto, chicken and bacon. Split it between two people. And I learned a new trick! Chili oil and honey as a dipping sauce for pizza! You've got to try it the way they do it. The staff was so nice and they were on top of their game with how busy it was. Great job! Restrooms were just outside the restaurant and were on the 1st or 2nd floor. Indoor and outdoor seating. I liked it inside because it was nice and cozy.

    The only thing that would have been better, would have been draft beers that we wanted, instead of a can...but we loved the atmosphere outside. We enjoyed some drinks, an appetizer and a delicious pizza. We had the best afternoon on the patio and had great service!

    This pizza place was recommended by our tour guide, Vincent. He said they make good wood fire pizzas and that their house made chili sauce was good on everything. It sounded good so we stopped in for dinner. The restaurant was located at the heart of the downtown Banff and was in front of a small parking lot. There was a public fire pit nearby and the fire looked cozy. We opted to sit outside, since it wasn't too cold yet and we wanted to enjoy the downtown scenery. Our server took our order and delivered our food quickly, which was much appreciated. We ordered a summer salad, chicken wings and two pizzas to share between 3 people. It was more than enough food. The wings were good, but we enjoyed the summer salad and the margarita pizza more. The summer salad was packed with fresh vegetables, peaches and candied pecans. The pizza had a wood fire crispy crust but yet the pizza was still tender and soft. Out of the two pizzas we ordered, we preferred the Margarita to the maple syrup infused Canadian pizza. We enjoyed dipping slices into the honey & infused secret chili oil. Vincent was right, it really was good with everything. Overall, we think Bear Street Tavern has the best pizza in Banff town and would recommend it.

    Beer selection is legit. Cute spot and very popular. My mom and is shared a pizza, and the oil and honey to dip the crust in was incredible. Good service too.

    Stopped by Bear Street Tavern in Banff and had a great time. The place had a cozy and nice atmosphere, though the tables were a bit close together and small, so our pizzas ended up stacked on top of each other, which was an experience in itself. We tried about five different beers, which was a fun way to sample what they had to offer. For food, we went with the Godfather and Big Bird calzone. Both were tasty and well-made, definitely worth trying if you're a fan of hearty, flavorful pizzas. One of the highlights for me was the chili oil, which I'm a big fan of. It added a great kick to the food. Overall, a solid spot for good food and drinks. Would come back for the great beer selection and, of course, the chili oil.

    What a great pizza place in downtown Banff! The dough was fabulous (and I usually could careless about the crust) and the view was spectacular

Located…read morein Downtown Banff, we choose to sit outside and had gorgeous views and enjoyed the sunshine. We, of course, sampled more Canadian beer and poutine! The chicken poutine was not something I thought I would order, but it was on special and why not? The Chicken Poutine is incredible and full of flavors that are out of this world. We shared the chicken poutine and I loved Kevin's Beef Dip and we shared a side of the traditional poutine - so good. Melty cheese curds, delicious and hot fries and the gravy...take me back right now! The fish and chips were yummy and light and the perfect lunch portion. We loved our visit to Rose & Crown and it's definitely some of the very best food we had in Banff!

It seems like quite the après ski spot, but I don't think any of the people there actually went skiing that day. It was basically a huge frat party on the rooftop with canned beer for purchase and a DJ. If you're looking for a nice, classy spot to watch the sunset - this is not it. We were crammed in the corner next to their barricaded section of the rooftop and didn't stick around longer than it took us to finish the drinks we bought downstairs.
