Came here for happy hour drinks and a distillery tour. Happy hour drinks are very affordable. I loved the Rootbeer + 2 shots of vanilla vodka. The Distillery tour was a bit underwhelming since it was only a viewing of Penny and a room behind that. However, you could have a tasting of 4 of their unique beverages. I was suprised by how much I enjoyed the Maple Rye (which was never something I considered myself to like). I bought one as a gift. Another fun add-on to the tour is to create your own bottle of gin. As we learned, Gin is quite literally vodka with a teabag, so you get to customize your own infusion blend for the gin. This is in a full size bottle of liquid, so ensure that you have additional space/weight in your luggage because not only is it a large amount of alcohol, but also a heavy glass bottle. Grace was a great guide for this tour/experience! read more

Another place in town with great happy hour drink specials! In addition to our cocktails, we ordered the prime rib to share. Cooked medium rare, this one had a fantastic smokiness unlike what I'm used to in a memorable way. Service was amazing. With your receipt, you can get 10% off your bottle purchase from the tiny shop at the front of the restaurant. read more

Came in on Sunday for dinner and the prime rib was on sale for $39.99. The place is definitely loud but not terribly loud that you can't have conversations. Food didn't come out the same time. Drinks came out a little later than the food. The smores espresso martini wasn't too sweet or strong. It was just right. The service is great here. The staff is very accommodating and attentive. If you get the truffle fries, I would highly recommend getting the truffle mayo dip with it too. read more

Great place for cocktails and the food looked excellent as well. Plenty of room at the bar and an amazing picture just above it from the old days. read more

I went here twice with friends during our Banff trip because we just loved their drinks and vibe so much! They have a great cocktail menu, and you're bound to find at least one that you just want to keep ordering. They're open probably the latest out of most bars, so my friends and I stayed out really night trying out a bunch of drinks from their menu. Their service is great--I highly recommend! read more

Park Distillery was a great choice for our first night in Banff. We made a reservation through OpenTable and had no issues getting seated for dinner. The drinks were excellent, and the food was exactly what we were looking for. We shared the cowboy ribeye between two people, which was more than enough, and added the hot wings and cornbread on the side. The cornbread was outstanding and easily something I'd order again. I had the Mountain Thyme cocktail made with Park Banff Whisky, lemon, peach, Jolene's Tea House Earl Grey, and thyme, and it was really well balanced. Overall a solid dinner spot with great drinks and a friendly atmosphere -- would definitely recommend. read more

Food was great all around, I loved the rotisserie chicken burger, definitely recommend! Server was very nice and also hilarious! Cool multi floor restaurant with multiple bars and lots of different seating options (booth, table, bar, and even picnic tables inside?!) This place is pretty highly rated and id say it's well deserved! read more

Great service, tasty flavorful good with a good portion, a nice selection for kids option. Dining area can be loud when it gets busy. Prices are reasonable. First time here in Calgary and it is just right across from our hotel so we can walk home if we had a few drinks without needing to catch a ride back to our hotel with kids. They have a free distillery tour as well. read more

Was able to book this on OpenTable. The doors open to allow fresh air and light to come in. This added to our dining experience as you can see the cars/buses and people just walking around outside and you can hear the commotion. I enjoyed the atmosphere it created. Now, the drinks here are pretty good and they use their own spirits. But what I really liked was the Annex rootbeer they served. It was so good that I am still thinking about it til this day. Unfortunately, it's only available in Canada so I'm a little bummed. It doesn't give off that sugary processed aftertaste you get with most root beers. A must try if you come. Just keep in mind that it's not free refills. We ended up ordering the rib eye 16oz. and in about 5 minutes, the food came out and I was like, that was really quick. Then I saw that they actually gave me the prime rib instead. I spoke to our server and she messed up the order and she kind of sold us on keeping the prime rib. We are glad we kept it because it was really good. The smoke flavor really put this one up there. Although I would have been happy with the ribeye, the smokiness really helped enhance the flavor. I was still a bit hungry afterwards because we planned to share the 16oz. ribeye, but the prime rib was only 12oz. and it did have an ounce or so of just fat that wasn't edible. Our server was great and I also noticed how personable their wait staff was because they all were engaging with their tables. We were able to ask for advice on what to do and what to avoid and that really helped us plan the rest of our time in Banff. This is a definite bookmark for the next time. read more

I made a reservation here the week before arriving for our party of 13 and was able to get a table at a prime dinner time. We were seated upstairs at two tables right next to each other. This worked out great as there was a kids table and an adult table. This was right by the kitchen, so it was a bit warm. The decor is a mountain/camping theme and so is the food. We were there on a Wednesday so they had a special for rotisserie chicken or ribs. I got the ribs, which ended up not being that good of a deal since it is a half rack and the full rack is just double the price, so the special essentially allows you to order a smaller portion. I had some of the deviled eggs and well and they were simple and good. We had an overall good time and our server was great as well. read more

This place was recommended to us by a tour guide. We got the bison burger and the gnocchi. The lemon flavor in the gnocchi was good and it was very strong and lemon forward, and the bison burger (which is what they are known for) was good too. Personally the fries that came with the burger was the best part of the meal. The service was also a little slow but the restaurant was not busy (we were on a time crunch). So if you are on a time crunch I might recommend going somewhere else because they took their time. I would recommend coming here if you're looking for something safe and basic. It looks like they have typical bar food and some of the wood fired dishes such as the chicken or ribs sounded good. They do have sports displaying on the televisions so if you wanted a place to watch sports and take your time this might be the place! read more

Had a Buffalo burger and loved it. My girlfriend got the park burger and it has sauce that's made from horseradish which my gf can't stand. We traded our main courses and I thought her burger was good too. We both loved the fries. Had some cocktails made from the whiskey, vodka, and gin made here and we enjoyed the maple whiskey the best. The spinach dip was great. Server was good and friendly. Sat outside it was a little chilly but still nice. I would have gave this restaurant five stars but as my girlfriend pointed out in the description and ingredients for the park burger they don't say anything about horseradish which to me is a big no no. read more

5/5 Table location right on the street, great craft beer selections, corn bread needs to be tried. Fun distillery tour if you have time, bacon with onion rings burger was a meal! Ate half for dinner and the other half was another meal the next day, the bacon was divine. Caesar salad was great!! Staff was amazing, gave my server a 35% tip, Abbi was slammed and she earned it. 4/5 wife had rotisserie chicken salad which was meh in my book but gets a higher rating cause she liked it. Daughter had a Veggie burger, she liked it, but what are we doing here there is bison on the menu. No rating from me. Other daughter's meal was a Caesar salad. The lettuce was frozen solid, weird. They replaced it and left it off the bill ! (My ceaser salad was fine, see above) Thus the large tip for Abbi. read more

Okay definitely do the free distillery tour and gin tasting!! I'm not a huge fan of gin but it was so fun to hear how they make it and sample different flavors of vodka and gin. Anna was an incredible host and was really knowledgeable about the full gin making process. I loved the tour she provided and the gin recs as well. It's a tad warm in the distillery space so prepare accordingly. I will definitely be back for more drinks and food next time as well! read more

Excellent dinner!! I enjoyed my Campfire Beef Tenderloin. Perfectly cooked steak and the loaded baked potato was amazing! It came with broccoli and carrots too so it was a well balanced dish. Everything was cooked perfectly and very flavorful. I loved my cocktail. Freshfields Sour was the featured cocktail and was delicious. I'm so glad I ordered it. I had the S'mores dessert and it was so good! Gorgeous view of downtown Banff and the mountains. Excellent and friendly service. read more

Came here just for drinks. Friday night 7PM place was only 60% full. These are based on Personal Preference! Lost Word feature cocktail - 7/10, a little too strong for me. Grand Sentinel - boyfriend got based on recommendation from waiter, way too much like a Old Fashioned for me. Got better once the ice started to melt. 6/10 (not my thing). Floral Fizz - 8.5/10. Light, refreshing. read more

This one was our first stop in Banff, the patio caught our eye so we decided to swing in. We started by making a reservation for the distillery tour then sat at the bar to grab some drinks. The bartenders made some fantastic cocktails. I wanted to try every single one on the menu. We happened to be there during the end of happy hour too so we got to try a couple discounted options, they have some great recipes here. The tour was pretty cool, it's a very small production area and it was really awesome to see everything. They keep the groups small and you can ask a lot of questions which was cool. They ended it with a tasting and we got to try everything we were interested in, they have some really awesome craft liquors that they obviously put a lot of love into. It would be amazing to try all their small batch flavors because what we did get to try was fantastic. Such a cool spot to try when you're in the area. read more

Park Distillery was recommended to me by a girl I sat next to on the plane on my way to Banff. She mentioned the drinks were good- especially the gin. After a long day of activities, my friend and I were famished so we stopped here and were seated right away. The servers were super friendly and very much excited to have us. We sat upstairs on the balcony which gave us the most gorgeous view of tunnel mountain. The weather was quite nice. My friend ordered a lemonade and I had the mojito. The mojito was ok- but it was tiny and could've had more lime juice and mint. We ordered the cornbread to start, the rotisserie chicken salad and the seared salmon summit salad for entrees. We were trying to be wise with our choices. However, the salads weren't exactly the tastiest. They were ok and I ate most of mine but my friend barely ate half of her chicken salad. We both said we wished we'd ordered something else. read more

A solid option where most of the competitors are lacking and over crowded. I had the bison burger with fries. Fries were crispy and good. I enjoyed the burger but was disappointed in the onion straws, they were cold and soggy and the burger was better without them. Fast and friendly service. read more

The restaurant's ambiance was fantastic, and the service was spectacular. I tried the hard root beer and absolutely loved it! For food, I ordered the Backpacker Bowl, mac & cheese, and the Campfire Beef Tenderloin. The beef was my favorite dish. It was delicious, perfectly seasoned, and cooked to perfection. While all the dishes were good, I wasn't too impressed with the mac & cheese. read more

Had a very simple but delicious meal here. The Alberta Angus Ribeye steak was wonderful. The steak was cooked medium rare to perfection and was juicy & delicious. The accompanying broccolini and roasted carrots balanced out the meal, while the crispy onions elevated each bite. Loved the baked potatoes as well. The Mac and cheese was light and not super heavy compared to other variations I've had, but I personally enjoyed it! The garlic breadcrumbs added a nice texture to it. The backpacker bowl was surprisingly quite good! It contained all of my favorite fresh ingredients and the peanut sauce tied everything together beautifully. I also forgot to take pictures but the drinks here were solid as well. Loved their alcoholic root beer. read more

Pros: Great location with their own distillery Ample cocktail options Upstairs seating Surf and turf was excellent - steak cooked perfectly and loved the loaded baked potato and broccolini Cons: Only one server was assigned to our large group of 13 - she did a great job, but things were slow Everyone in my group had finished their meal before I was served :( Manager made it right though, which was appreciated! Pro tip: They have free distillery tours at 3:30pm! read more

This is a lively place, good for group dinners in downtown Banff. There are two levels, with the upper being reserved for larger parties. They also do free distillery tours throughout the day, which is a nice touch. Our server was nice and the service was fairly quick considering how busy the restaurant was. We ordered the spinach and four cheese dip and hickory truffle fries as appetizers. The dip was good, nothing special about it but it came with small pita-like chips. The fries were nice and crispy, and the truffle aioli provided a sharp contrast that I really liked! As an entree, I got the rotisserie chicken caesar salad, which was a bit underwhelming. There wasn't enough dressing, the chicken was dry, and the croutons were too big and crunchy to enjoy throughout the salad. It was still a refreshing salad, but I wish there was a bit more in all aspects. read more

Visited Park Distillery in Banff and had a good time. The service was okay and the food was fine, nothing too special but still enjoyable. The real highlight was the drinks. We had an espresso martini and a few different gin and tonics, all of which were excellent. Both of us ordered steak for dinner, which was solid. The building itself had a very authentic feel, and the bar looked really nice and added to the atmosphere. Overall, a good spot for great drinks and a relaxed evening. read more

Park Distillery - Tasting - Canadian (New) Near Me - Banff, Alberta

Did not manage to capture Aurora on a recent trip to Banff but enjoyed dining at Park Distillery. We snagged two balcony seats with mountain (and people) view amidst the cool alpine air. Corn bread nicely-charred (served with maple whisky butter) was good. Bacon cheddar burger was well-composed, beautifully presented on a shiny brioche bun accompanied by crispy, thin fries and ketchup. Rotisserie chicken with perfectly browned skin looked great but was a little dry (breast portion), redeemed by clusters of well-roasted, crisped skin potatoes (yellow and purple). Campfire drippin' gravy was lackluster. Negroni (made with house-distilled gin) balanced and quite tasty but slightly smaller portioned. Staffs were friendly and helpful. We were surprised when our waiter informed us that the gentleman whom we were having a conversation with earlier had graciously settled our bill. read more

I have to give Park Distillery props for having last minute reservations for a large group of 9. We were exhausted and starving from our hike so thank you to the staff for being accommodating and getting our orders in quickly. I totally get how crazy it can be with a large group but our server was awesome and on top of it! Park Distillery has a really cool vibe for both the upstairs and downstairs area. The decor gives ski vibes and the upstairs area has great windows to get the outdoor views and big TVs to watch live sports. Be sure to try some of their cocktails made with their own spirits. Had to try the bison burger and bacon cheddar burgers to try the Canadian beef. They had mac and cheese as a side and it was a great app to start and carbo load. Their fries are really tasty with the dipping sauces - great to pair with the burgers! All in all, had a great time and enjoyed our meal. read more

Park distillery was by far the best meal we had in banff. We got the three course special for 37$ which was such an amazing deal. The spinach dip was fantastic we finished every last bit. The vodka pasta was alright but the vegetarian burger with a side of their tomato soup was absolute heaven. The service was great, our waiter was very pleasant and food came out pretty quickly considering it was decently full. However the main hit is for sure the drinks! We got a flight of their house made stuff as well as a cocktail and wow we were impressed. The banff whiskey is incredible!!! Overall nice place with a great ambiance and we have not stopped thinking about it since we've left. read more

Loved the service, the food, cocktails and especially their on site store! This became our favorite restaurant on our trip to Banff and I can't rave enough about their amazing cocktails! They have an on site distillery and a daily tour, and cute sized alcohol you can get on our way out. They also ship across Canada so you won't feel the withdrawal once your stock is done! Our favorite has got to be their buddha bowl and vodka tomato soup! Their feature cocktail during pride week was also delish. I miss them already! read more

Woah! How is this the first time we've made it here in the past 3 trips to Banff? The weather was great and the open patio had stunning views of the mountains as well as delicious craft cocktails with their own spirits. We came in after a hike from the lakes and thoroughly enjoyed our $7 CAD 12" hotdogs fully loaded that they throw on from 3-5p. 50% off house cocktails is definitely a crowd pleaser as well. The staff were fun and inviting and even offered some free samples of the seasonal spirits while we were there. Service was attentive and we are definitely coming back later this trip! read more

Tl;Dr: Great place to hang out and enjoy the vibe but the actual quality of the drinks was quite deceptive. Would not be my first choice Park Negroni: Skip* If you try reaaaally hard you might be able to taste the difference in the barrel aged gin but not really. The campari really shines though way too much. It's for sure a run of the mill negroni that has no redeeming qualities. It poured from a premixed containers so it's even less special and you really could have just made it at home. *For $10 it isn't bad so sure. Knock yourself out if that's your vibe. Maple Old Fashioned: Skip Decided to go for a higher quality drink with this one but... it did not go well either. It ALSO came from a premixed container so that was hilarious. One of the most popular and simple cocktails and it's still premixed. Smokey and cacao nib flavors were overshadowed by the maple novelty of this drink. Storm mountain: Get If you like sweet, fruity, and refreshing, this one was actually not bad. I did not observe this one get made so i cannot comment on the premixed-ness of it haha. Hot wings: Get Sure is hot but more so just from the high amounts of tabsco/vinegar used in the sauce. The wings were definitely tasty though and I recommend Service was polite but as we sat in the corner of the bar we were neglected a tiny bit. After settling the bill and leaving, I finally thought twice about why I was charged almost $100 for the above (which is around $65) and realized they probably messed up our bill. Oh well.... read more

Had a wonderful meal with my family at Park Distillery. The upstairs seating was great with the open air concept and it was a perfect night to eat there. The ambience was casual. Our waitress was very friendly and service was great. Everybody enjoyed their drinks which were made with spirits from the distillery. For dinner I order a quarter chicken with a side of the Mac and cheese and it was delicious after a long day of hiking. The Mac and cheese was fantastic and I'd be ordering a full portion if I were back to visit again! Great stop on a great trip. read more
