I visited Bear Street Tavern based off of a recommendation by a coworker. Beer and pizza is usually…read morea winning combination and Bear Street Tavern is a great example of this. Admittedly, I'm not much of a drinker but I'll have some once in a while and Bear Street seems to have a pretty good selection. I tried a Vietnamese Coffee Stout which I enjoyed. I'm definitely more of an eater than I am a drinker and the eats at Bear Street Tavern are excellent. My party got 2 pizzas and a salad and we enjoyed it all. To start we got the Tavern Bowl. It's a bunch of different vegetables with a Tahini Miso Dressing and kimchi on top. All the different textures and flavors worked really well together and the salad served as a nice break between bites of pizza. The Wheeler Hut pizza has mushrooms, ricotta, truffle oil, pesto, and mozzarella. If you're a fan of truffle flavor you'll enjoy this pizza. As soon as it was brought out I could already smell the truffle. The Mediterranean has olives, feta cheese, sun-dried tomatoes, artichokes, red onions, chili flakes, spinach, mozzarella, and balsamic glaze. A little busier than the Wheeler Hut, but it was equally delicious. I'm not sure which pizza I liked more. Both pizzas had a fantastic crust with some char. Substantial enough to stand up to the toppings but still a little doughy for a nice chew. The char gives a nice crunch as well. Service is quick and friendly and the prices are fair, especially in a tourist area. I definitely recommend Bear Street Tavern.

I enjoyed this place a lot! I only have positive things to say. We arrived and there didn't have…read morespace to seat us, so we opted to wait for take out and we only had to wait 20 minutes. We ordered the wheeler hut pizza and the tavern bowl salad. Both were incredible! I'd highly recommend doing this combination on your next date night. We were both full and happy by the end.

We ordered some of their salmon with quinoa and pale ales for dinner, and I have never tried quinoa…read morelike how this place does it haha. The texture was so soft, and the salmon was seasoned very nicely. Their beers on tap were also pretty good and they had a decent selection to choose from. The ambiance of this place is also very hip and modern, with an upstairs dining area featuring large windows overlooking the mountains, and a downstairs area for the brewery

The space is very nice. Our server was also nice. The food was mid, the wait time was far too long,…read moreand the prices were very high. Beer was mid also. Check in was weirdly hard out front. My brisket sandwich was inedible and included something like a bay leaf that was clearly meant to be removed before serving. I barely touched it and when the server took it away, they didn't say anything. We started with a margarita pizza which was actually pretty good. The Caesar salads were nothing special, bland. Pros for this place is they take reservations. I'd rather wait for a table somewhere else.

Great spot for a chill drink and snack. Stopped in while waiting for our lake shuttle and had a…read morehard cider and Caesar salad. Both were delicious! Husband had the cascade salad and said the chicken was a little dry. Watched the World Cup game on the TVs with a great view. Staff was friendly and fun. One star off for it being a little pricey, but it's a tourist town.

Banff Ave Brewing Co is on the south side of town close to the bridge, and it's easy to miss among…read moreall the other exciting restaurants and bars on Banff Ave. But I'm so glad we found it on our wanderings on a cold Friday afternoon, as it provided a warm and welcoming environment for us to thaw and socialize indoors. Our server was very friendly albeit a bit frazzled, but the vibes were great all around. One of the best things about Banff Ave Brewing is that all appetizers are half off on Fridays (at least during happy hour)! They also have a nice selection of beers. Their flights are neat in that they offer 6 options instead of the more typical 4, so you can try everything you want to try. We had the nachos, poutine, and several beers. The poutine was a bit salty but the nachos were excellent, definitely get the beer cheese sauce as an add-on. I also got to try a special dragonfruit kolsch they had on tap, which was really mild and easy drinking as well. I'll definitely be back when I'm in Banff again!

We sat on the second floor of the patio and got the flight. They were out of a lot of the seasonal/special menu, but had options in their places. Only complaint is the replacement options weren't the same "genre" of beer (replacing a sour with an IPA, etc...) Would recommend for a beer before dinner or a quick drink.
