No one greeted us for 10 minutes so we had to ask a manager to find us a server. We waited at least another 5 minutes after that for someone to finally come to us. Our server ended up being very nice, however, did forget my dad's beer. The food was average bar food, nothing special. I'm positive you can find better food and service elsewhere in this town. read more

Booked on a recommendation from ChatGPT when I asked for an itinerary with unique options. I love fun cocktails and was impressed by their cocktails, food, atmosphere, and service! Marjoan was very attentive, patient, helpful, and fun! There was a new Irish bartender that was very nice as well and made the amazing cocktails! Overall very happy with the food and service so much so that we bought some chili vodka to take home and try to make some Sawback margs. read more

From the friendly helpful staff to the fun decor inside of the distillery, we had a high hopes for this place. The cocktails and food were all a 10 out of 10! They absolutely delivered to the point where we had to make a second visit after a long hike in Banff. We drove 45 minutes just to eat at Park distillery one more time. Could not possibly recommend this place more! No notes! read more

Great happy hour value, phenomenal drinks and food was good as well. Had the Caesar, pulled chicken sandwich and cornbread first trip. Very good. Floral G&T and Negroni are the stars of the show drink wise. Speakeasy quality in a brewery town. Came back another night for drinks before trying another restaurant because they were that good. read more

I came here for dinner without a reservation, but luckily they were able to accommodate me! I ordered the beef tenderloin with a medium cook, and what they brought me was very rare! My server, Tonille (sp?), kindly had the kitchen re-make it for me and also threw in a complimentary dessert. When my steak came out, it was perfect! It was seasoned so well, too!! It was absolutely delicious! My loaded baked potato and campfire veggies were also fire. For dessert, I had the caramel apple crumble, which came with a scoop of vanilla gelato. It was such a big portion and so yummy!! I would definitely recommend having a bite here while in Banff! read more

Ambiance: The atmosphere of the restaurant was very cool. There were lanterns hanging from the ceiling, one table had armchairs, there were benches. Service: The front of the house staff were very welcoming and you felt taken care of. Unfortunately, once we were seated, it was a different story. Our waiter was pleasant but was inattentive and seemed to be overwhelmed. He did the bare minimum of check in's with us, and did not ask about the status of our beverages and if we wanted more to drink. When he did come by, we had to request more water. He spent more time chatting to coworkers who were sitting at an adjacent table. Food: Ribs. The presentation of the ribs was beautiful. They were stacked on top of the potatoes, with a small portion of coleslaw on the plate. The portion of ribs was quite large. They were delicious. Salmon. The presentation was beautiful, it was on a wood plank, plated with salad and a bowl of potatoes. It was delicious, however, it was extremely small. It was the size of 1/4 of a postcard. It fit in my hand and I have small hands. There was more salad and potatoes than salmon. For the price, the portion size was disappointing. Burger- burger and fries on a plate. Nothing special about the presentation. The burger was good. Fish and Chips- it was a plate full of French fries and two good sized pieces of fish, with tartar sauce, ketchup and a lemon. The fish was a nice size portion. There were too many French fries. It looked like everything was thrown on the plate. No presentation. The most unique thing about the restaurant was that water was in a whiskey bottle. This restaurant had the potential to be impressive, but unfortunately, it was not. With all the other restaurant options in town, we will not be back, nor would we recommend. read more

Delicious! I started with a floral gin drink which enticed me to purchase a bottle. My daughter had the salmon which was clearly a popular choice as we saw it on many tables. She enjoyed the salmon itself but felt there was a lot of garnish. Honestly, as a teen, I was happy she ate as much greens as she did despite her feelings that they were "garnish." I had the chicken with drippings. Even with just the 1/4 order, it was a lot of chicken and incredibly delicious. Dare I say, moist? To finish off we had the s'more dessert. While quite decadent and tasted incredible, it did not really resemble a s'more. It was cold and there wasn't graham cracker present. The only thing that really gave the illusion of a s'more was the small piece of burned wood for the smell and the marshmallow on top. Delicious, just not a s'more. Our server was lovely and attentive and provided great conversation and serv read more

This is a very lively gastro pub with a hint of log cabin touches. We walked in on a Saturday night at 8:30pm. They had an over 2 hr wait but we choose to sit at the bar which had open seating. The bartenders were very friendly and helped us right away. We even got to taste a sample of their very own house distilled maple rye. So good!!! Even my mom who doesn't drink thought it was very tasty. If you want to take a bottle home, you can. I can't remember the price now but I believe it was about $65 Canadian dollars. Everything we ate was well prepared. We ordered buffalo burger with truffle fries, salmon plank plate, salmon salad, tomato soup. The only complaint we had was the fries. They were served cold. I advised the bartender who offered to bring us our new fries which they did and so very fast. We loved our dinner here and would highly recommend it when in Banff. read more

This was one of our last stops in the Banff area - and I am glad we did. Wanted to try out some local distilleries and this one had a tour and tasting, so it quickly crept up the ranks of places that had to be visited. A good tour, and am glad I got to taste their vodkas and Gins, as they are not that easy to find in the US. They walk through the various parts of the distillery and take their time with things which is great. I did the tour and tasting while the rest of the family had a quick bite - made it back to our table just in time before our next excursion started but did get to taste the apps that were good. Didn't need an appointment for the tour which is great - given how busy Banff is during the summer The tasting was a great way to meet other fellow travelers as well as some locals. Would recommend if you are into tasting interesting new spirits read more

The Park Maple rye whiskey is the best whiskey I've ever had. That's all I need to say here. I'm very upset that I cannot get more of that stuff in Arizona. It keeps me up at night, dreaming of that wonderful flavor of whiskey. The bottle that I did bring back, I kept in the freezer so it's super cold when I drink it on the rocks. So smooth, so good. I WANT MORE. read more

This was our last meal before leaving Banff (on a Wednesday afternoon) and it did not disappoint! This was the best spot we tried in downtown Banff. Our server was super friendly and on-point with her recommendations, and service was quick as well. I had the maple old fashioned and it went down very easily. The maple really made the drink but it wasn't too sweet. The tomato chili soup was delish. The 3 of us split it and I could have easily had the whole bowl because of how good it is. I got the shrimp tacos - also very good. The shrimp were huge and flavorful and there was a good amount of avocado on each one, which you don't see often, at least in the states. They were very filling. My friends both had the Buddha bowl which they both liked. I'd definitely come back if I'm ever in Banff again! read more

We came on a whim because everything else has closed towards the end of the day and boy was this an interesting experience. FOOD We had a bite to eat prior arriving to Banff so we only order a burger to split and some drinks. The bison burger itself it's pretty decent. I guess because of the meat, it has to be cooked all the way through. It was pretty well packed and an overall decent burger. SERVICE AND DECOR Inside of Park Distillery has really cool designs. They have made the perfect match between a distillery and a cabin/hunting themed restaurant. The service was pretty good too. Server was super nice and attentive. The only downside is that they over charged us for few items that supposedly was charged "in the beginning of the day". Sounds like BS, so please make sure you double check your itemized bill before paying. I want to give them the benefit of the doubt that they're not trying to punk us. read more

Fun atmosphere, excellent cocktails and good service. Everything we ordered was really good.

A phenomenal restaurant right smack dab in the middle of downtown Banff, Canada. While many come to Banff for the beautiful mountains and scenery but you should come for the tunnels. The tunnels at this dining establishment were astounding. If I had to choose saving my firstborn child from a fire or drinking a tunnel I would choose the tunnel every day of the week. I plan on returning to Canada just for these tunnels alone. The burgers and fries were also scrumptious. The fries tasted like McDonald's which is a compliment. Our waiter was a little bit zesty but the service was still very good. Overall an astounding restaurant with some brilliant tunnels and great food. 10/10 you need to come. read more

An absolute must visit if spending time in Banff! Even if you don't stop in, chances are you'll have some Park liquors if drinking anywhere in the area. If you get the chance to sit upstairs in their outdoor balcony area I highly recommend doing it! Great views of the mountains and some fun people and dog watching from up there. We came one afternoon for the spirit tasting, two of us shared it and were each able to really get a taste of the liquors. My favorites were the rye and the espresso vodka. The chili vodka had a bit too much of a kick for me, but is a fun one if you like a bit of heat. To accompany our tasting we ordered a side of fries. The serving was pretty large and ended up really filling us up. Post tasting I ordered the Ptarmigan peak cocktail, it was light and refreshing, but had a bit of a creaminess to it due to the egg white. Really enjoyed this drink. Since we didn't end up ordering a full meal on our first visit and everything we saw looked AMAZING, we ended up coming back for lunch later in the week. Once again we were lucky enough to get the balcony bar! For lunch we ordered the beef dip and the campfire quesadilla. The beef dip was filling and delicious - loved the addition of the chimichuri. The campfire quesadilla was awesome, not your typical quesadilla fillings but it so worked out! The quesadilla was a little greasy on the outside, but held up well. Overall a great experience, food came out quickly, the music was fun, and all the servers really friendly. read more

This was our dinner of choice during our vacation to Banff and loved it. It's great for big or small parties, but definitely recommend to make reservations as it can get quite busy. Service, environment, food and drinks were all on point. We had: -Tuna Tataki Salad (large portions) -hot wings (these were okay, could have done without) -rotisserie chicken (flavorful & moist) -prime rib (a lot of fat in our cut of meat, wish it was more meat but liked the flavor!) -pappardelle (loved this dish) -smoked Brie (the brie solidified too quickly, hard to eat) Drinks: -wonder pass (gin & passionfruit): this cocktail is to die for, could have kept going! Loved this place overall and highly recommend! read more

Had one of my favorite meals in Banff here. Arrived in Banff by bicycle on our first day in town (parked the bikes across the street at the free bike valet), and just walked over to see lots of people sitting outside. Menu looked good enough (and quick yelp search validated), and we were able to be seated right away outside (beautiful sunny Sunday afternoon in September). I got the Mountaneer Marg which was delic! And the Buddha bowl and added tofu. The bowl was large and full and well seasoned and suauced! Service was so friendly and efficient. Great meal! read more

This food was delicious! My friends and I stopped in for some dinner and the three of us decided to have cocktails and share the mess hall platter and truffle fries. This was plenty of food! I had the maple old fashioned which admittedly was a little too much pizzaz for my taste but I loved a sip of my friends hard root beer drink! When our food came out, it's hard to decide which food item from the platter we liked most because it was all so good. The corn bread is super unique and tasty and if we return we would probably get an order of that! The ribs were fall off the bone and the potato salad and broccolini were other highlights. The curly truffle fries were delicious and the aioli was spot on but honestly the platter would've been enough for the three of us! read more

We missed the free 3:30pm tour but still were able to partake in the delicious beverages using the Park vodka and rye. I opted for the Mountaineer Marg which is made with tea from a local tea shop. It was quite interesting in the most wonderful way. The flavor was like a marg but lighter and the coconut rim was a perfect match to the flavor. If visiting Banff and wanting to grab a unique cocktail check out Park Distillery. read more

No surprise they have some great cocktails. Check out the Alpine G&T. Their amazing gin + Fentiman's tonic and a slice of lime. Also try anything with (or neat) the maple rye. Their Alberta rye + Quebéc maple. Super flavorful, but not too sweet. The food is amazing here as well. Especially excited by the healthy options available. Was blown away by the Park Veggie Bowl: Toasted chickpea falafel, lemon quinoa, golden beets, watermelon radish, pickled cabbage, beetroot hummus, crispy chickpeas, cashew yogurt, roasted pumpkin & sunflower seeds. The beetroot hummus and the crispy chickpeas were something special. Service was excellent. Will certainly come back the next time we are in Banff. read more

Come for the drinks, stay for the fries. Popular spot with friendly staff and plenty of tables. Came here mid afternoon for a light lunch/snack and really enjoyed it.

Stopped by this place for a quick bite during our first time in Banff. The ambiance is great - big restaurant with lots of seating and friendly hostesses and servers. Apparently this restaurant makes and bottles its own gin, as evidenced by the big distillery in the middle of the restaurant. We didn't drink this time around but they have an extensive cocktail menu and gin flight that I would've loved to try. We got 3 dishes: a burger, a full rack of ribs and the shrimp tacos. My favorite was the shrimp tacos. They weren't overly heavy or overly dressed and made a great entree for one person even though it was on the appetizer menu. The ribs were also great as they were tender, but I wish it came with more slaw and potatoes. The burger was mid but it wasn't unpleasant. Overall, I'd recommend this restaurant, either just to grab a drink or get a full meal. It's at a great location right in the middle of Banff's biggest street. read more

Our party had mixed reviews on this place. The appetizer of guacamole was enjoyed by everyone and the house chips seemed to be homemade (gluten free). My husband and I ordered burgers. I really enjoyed my burger because I was able to order vegan cheddar and a spicy vegan mayo to be dairy free! My husband ordered a beef/bison mix burger and really enjoyed it. We were both very underwhelmed when it came to the fries. I barely ate any of mine. Our friend didn't have the best experience. He ordered a steak with grilled veggies. He ordered his steak medium rare and it came medium and his veggies were cold. He also had asked if he could substitute a side for macaroni and they didn't communicate until the bill came that it would've been an upcharge. For what the prices are at this establishment, we had higher expectations of the food quality and service. Menu is well marked for those with food allergies read more

I came to Park Distillery on my first night in Banff hoping to get a good, hearty meal before a busy weekend filled with a lot of hiking, and had a great time at Park Distillery! My partner and I decided to split the bison burger and the spicy rigatoni alla vodka. I'm not a vodka pasta snob - they all taste pretty similar to me and for the most part I think all vodka pastas are good, and Park Distillery's falls under that umbrella as well. Something special they did was use was sprinkle bits of fresh mozzarella over the top which I thought added a nice touch and made this dish more interesting. We were between the bison burger and the regular burger but I had never tried bison before and wanted to give it a go. It was definitely a nice burger - I'm not sure if I would've liked a regular burger better, but I appreciated how unique the flavors were between the more game-y bison and the blueberry aioli. I think I expected it to blow me away a bit more but there wasn't anything to complain about! I'm glad we decided to share these items because I think while they were both good, I sense I would've gotten a bit tired of the flavors if I had to eat a whole dish on my own. Most importantly, we were able to get through some pretty intense hikes the following days, so thanks to Park Distillery for properly fueling me! read more

Overall, I would give this 3.5 stars out of 5. It was a but disappointing but had enough that I would come back and try something else. There's lots of food and drinks on the menu that look interesting! My girlfriend and I split the Mess Hall Standard sharing plate and an appetizer of the wood fired carrots. Our favorite parts of the meal were the cornbread with butter and the carrots. The meats on the mess hall plate were all overcooked, unfortunately, and that was the biggest detractor for me in this meal. The broccolini was chewy, too. But, the warm potato salad held its own, and we loved the cornbread! The carrot dish was unique and flavorful. Carrots are my favorite vegetable, and I was delighted to see something like this on the menu! I ordered the spiked vanilla root beer to drink, and the root beer was a little too cloyingly sweet for me. It didn't have a rooty taste at all. Instead, it had an overly sweet taste almost exactly like A&W rootbeer barrels candy. I would order something else if I went again. For dessert, we had the s'more with a blonde brownie. The dessert was good, although it was a little too cold for a s'more like they had just taken it out of the fridge and/or didn't put it in the microwave long enough. Would be interested in going back and would order the carrots and dessert again, but a different drink and entrée. read more

For our first meal in Banff, we stopped by Park Distillery which offers a casual vibe. The service was a bit slow what we're used to, but our server was friendly :) I ordered the park veggie bowl with crispy tofu, and my friends ordered the seared salmon and the tuna tataki salad. Everything tasted very fresh. The salmon was cooked perfectly! For my park veggie bowl, I was blown away by the beetroot hummus which was just so delightful with the falafel. Overall, would recommend Park Distillery for good food and vibes. read more

The Park Distillery & Restaurant, Banff - Wow, just wow. I have been lucky enough to have eaten at a lot of restaurants in tourist destinations across the continent, but The Park Distillery in Banff is among the very best of them. Great environment, excellent service (Thank You, Brooke, Super Job), clean washrooms, and a happy, positive vibe that made our entire party, including the kids, feel very welcome. And, what we really care about, the food, was outstanding. Usually, food at busy tourist destinations, like Banff certainly is, rates about a star. It makes sense, the tourists are one-and-gone, probably never to return. This is not the case at The Park Distillery. We ordered a variety of dishes ... Asada Torta, Bison Burgers, Kids Burger, BBQ Chicken Sandwiche, Hikers Greens, Truffle Fries, and Maple Corn Bread ... and it was all fantastic. We ate like kings. I highly recommend The Park Distillery & Restaurant, you will not be disappointed. Five-Stars, really ought to be more. I am looking forward to returning soon. read more

So good we went twice in our 5 day vacation. Great service, friendly bartenders, delicious food.

In the heart of Downtown Banff! The server was so sweet and kind. Walked us through the menu & options for their own distilled gin! We got a glass of mule & it was very very refreshing. The one pictured with fries is the Bison Burger. If you are a meat lover, I highly suggest! It has a bison AND beef patty!! Had to substitute the fires on the park burger for the smoked tomato chili vodka soup. It's like tomato bisque soup meets a bowl of chili! VERY DELICIOUS!!!!! read more

the food was unreal, but was unfortunately disappointed in the service aspect. i had ordered my food and realized when it came i wanted to order something else. i asked for a takeaway box and asked if it was okay to grab another dish. (while still paying for the first one), she said no because the kitchen had been closed for 7 or 8 minutes. which is fine, but as someone who works in the service industry we always make it a point to let our guests know when last call is. fast forward after we get our bill, i had noticed the server had charged me $43 for 2 double vodka sodas with a little bit of bellini.... i understand that getting a double adds to the cost and same with bellini, but it should not double the price surely... my friend asked further and the server took my bill from her and said her manager told her to charge that... ok.... its just disappointing because i always went to that restaurant growing up when i was visiting banff just for it to end up being a money grab with bad service. read more

Absolutely amazing, a must try if you're in the area. Bison burger - 5/5 so juicy and flavorful. The texture from the crispy onions and the subtle sweetness from the blueberry aioli was perfect. I've had this burger twice while on this trip. Curly fries are probably some of the best curly fries I've had, and I'm from Texas Campfire quesadilla - 5/5 SO TENDER AND JUICY! Oh my goodness. It's like birria quesadillas without the au jus, what more could you ask for? The cheese was perfect, and the subtle hint of poblano provided the perfect balance in flavor Storm Mountain - 4.5/5 tasty cocktail, well balanced flavor. Honey basil syrup added a great hint of freshness and it wasn't overly sweet, which I enjoyed. The spirits are all made in-house, which is cool! A MUST TRY IF YOU'RE IN THE AREA! I'd make a reservation because it can get pretty busy read more
