Our first stop on day 1 of our trip, not by chance but by design. The menu sounded impressive and I need to start every Canada trip with poutine! Terrific service, super happy we made it in for happy hour too! A FABulous maple old fashioned, and everything we ate was so delicious. The food could have been a little warmer but just information, not necessarily a critique. Indoor and outdoor seating. Menus and tables could have been cleaner but this place has a bar vibe so....let it go. read more

Large portions and great prices (especially during Happy Hour when everything is 40% off, which makes it great for a late lunch). I really liked the roasted brussel sprouts and fish and chips. Rugged/rustic/lodge atmosphere. Lots of scheduled activity nights and daytime events, check their calendar of events on their website ! read more

We had a great time and meal at Tavern 1883. We planned to stop just for drinks before dinner, but then our server, Zoe, suggested a few apps. The butter chicken fries are among the best things I've ever eaten. The burnt ends, maple sriracha chicken wings and Montreal smoked meat and truffle oil poutine were also quite delicious. Zoe was extremely accommodating and had great recommendations. We'll be back at least one more time before we leave. read more

Our group of 4 had such a good time here. Largely due to the excellent service, but mostly because of the 40% off all day happy hour on Sunday. There is an extensive booze menu. We tried beers, ciders and cocktails. We didn't order food, but we saw nice plates being bussed around. Ill definitely be back. read more

Stopped in for a late lunch while vacationing nearby. We were greeted and seated as soon as we walked in. Staff is welcoming, friendly, helpful and attentive. Street parking only. We ordered the bison burger with poutine, and a chicken club with parmesan truffle fries. The food was delicious! It took about 45 minutes for our food, but a table of about 10 people ordered just before us, so we were understanding about the wait. The inside was clean. They have indoor and outdoor seating available. Would recommend. read more

We loved our experience at Tavern 1883. We got a burger and an order of the poutine to split, which was more than enough for the two of us. The poutine was lovely, flavorful and a great portion. The burger was decent, but not our favorite. We also got the cream of mushroom soup as our side, which was fantastic. Great spot overall! read more

Great tavern-style food after a day of hiking. We all had bison burgers, and they hit the spot. I loved the bacon, tomato jam, mustard, and arugula combo. Nothing was overpowering. The burger is on the thin side, but still delicious. The fries were pretty good, but the burger was the winner. They had a diverse menu, so a good spot to please everyone. Would definitely return! read more

Tavern 1883 - The bison and fries - Pubs Near Me - Canmore, Alberta

This was my first time eating in Canmore and came here based on other reviews. Sat outside on the patio and ordered a beer and the Canadian Burger. The food was delicious, however the service ended once I got my meal. I was glad I got a beer and a water because no one came back after food was served. It then took forever to get the check to finally leave. The table next to us had the wrong order brought to them twice before finally getting it right the third time. It was very busy, but the patio service definitely lacked. Luckily the food was very good. read more

A perfect place to enjoy the amazing weather and great food. Adorable outdoor area with a lot of seating would be great for a big group. Music was good, servers were friendly, and they have a discount (that we missed by 20") everyday from 2-4, so I think we'll go back. All the food was on point, so I'll need to further experiment next time. I've yet to try poutine, and this looks like the place to get it while in Canada. read more

Stopped by at their bar for happy hour "mountain hour" 2-4pm Sunday through Friday which is 40% off ALL food and drinks. Drinks were made well, and the atmosphere was great. Would definitely return! read more

Food was very good, some unique entrees. We came for the gnocchi, but it was sold out so we had various tacos and burnt ends. Ambiance and wait staff excellent. read more

Solid post-hike spot in Canmore. The sweet potato fries were surprisingly good, but the burgers didn't really wow me--just kind of average. The real highlight was trying some local beers and cocktails, which made it a fun stop. Chill vibe, friendly enough service, and a nice place to refuel after a day on the trails. I'd really only recommend going during happy hour for the best value. Service: 8/10 (very friendly! Took a while to get seats) Seating: 8/10 (indoor and outdoor) Food: 4/10 (go for happy hour) Drinks: 7/10 (plenty of local options) read more

Tavern 1883 - Tavern burger - Pubs Near Me - Canmore, Alberta

We came here early evening on a Sunday and the place was pretty packed! You couldn't tell from the outside parking area though. Upon entry we were greeted almost immediately. When we arrived there weren't any available tables so we were seated at the bar but did request a table spot upon availability. That saying, it didn't take long for some table spots to open up and within 5 mins of arriving we were seated at a table. Our waitress was very friendly and attentive. I noticed that they have some great deals and events throughout the week including 40% off the entire menu during happy hour. Unfortunately we had just missed this. We ordered "the platter". Our waitress warned us that it was massive and she sure was not kidding! For $60 you get 1lb of wings, 1 rack of ribs, 3 slabs of brisket (although it looked more like prime rib?) fries, fried pickles, and brussels sprouts with arugula. There were only 2 of us but this was enough to easily feed 3 maybe 4 people depending how hungry you are. We ended up taking 1/3 of it home. I did notice by looking around though that the portion sizes are pretty large and most people did not finish their plates. The burgers also looked to be quite popular as every other person seemed to have ordered it. Back to the food, this was one of the BEST meals that we had in Canmore. The flavour of everything was spectacular. The meat was extremely tender and sliced liked butter. We went with the truffle honey aioli and it paired so well with everything. I could not get enough of it. My recommendation is to eat as much as you can at the restaurant as it doesn't hold up well when reheated. My only feedback is that it would've been nice if they put the fries off to the side or in a separate bowl instead of under the ribs and salad. Due to this the fries weren't crispy which kind of sucked. There is an outdoor patio with heaters and lights. There is also a fire pit out there. The restaurant definitely had a tavern feel. I will definitely make this a regular stop when I visit Canmore. read more

Fun night at the Tavern! Music bingo tonight which made for a super fun atmosphere. Food was yummy and so was the drinks. Had a nice old fashion and the ultimate burger with a side salad. Burger was over the top and what I was looking for after a 9 1/2 drive. Recommend! read more

Tavern 1883 - Half of a portion of fish and chips - Pubs Near Me - Canmore, Alberta

Overall a cool place and food and drinks were good, but service was a little rough - mostly disorganized and not very apologetically. They don't have a good system to get a table and once you do their service wasn't focused or attentive. The waiter got my dinner entree wrong and my family was almost done eating by the time the correct item came to me. Poutine was OK. My food was good, but my family was waiting for me - I finished half of my sandwich (which was stellar - The 1883 Club). The waiter brought drink refills and an additional beer after we were being cleared. The food was good, but I don't think I'd go back. read more

Great restaurant with a great patio. Loved the location and the relaxed atmosphere. We got the tavern burger and the veggie burger and both were great! Highly recommend checking out next time visiting Canmore. read more

We came in to grab some dinner. There were four of us. Our server was fantastic. She was quick to point out the nightly specials. We were there on burger night. All burgers were discounted. And there were also drink and beer specials. We started out sharing the poutine. The portion size was large but lacked a bit of flavor to me. You had your choice of sides with the burger. You could get any of the salads as a side. I opted for the Caesar. The shaved Parmesan on top was great. The burgers were large and the bun was fresh. The meat was a decent size. My son ordered the largest burger and it was massive. He thoroughly enjoyed it. The place has a definite tavern feel. The tables are made up of low ones and some high tops. read more

Fish&chips. Super. Servers made you feel like you're there every day. Louis served us and became a source of what to do next. Oh back to the meal- excellent read more

Overall this was an okay experience. I was happy to be able to snag a seat at the bar when I walked in because it was decently busy on a Friday night, as expected. The bartender was great, and super attentive. Prices for drinks were reasonable and there was a good selection of local beer. For the food, I ordered a bison burger with poutine. While the poutine was good, the bison burger wasn't great. It didn't have a ton of flavor and was pretty dry. I wasn't super impressed with the bun either. The food I ordered was $28.50 which I thought was a little steep. I think I'd come back for a drink and apps at the bar, but I'd skip for a meal. read more

We were really looking forward to a great meal and this place was recommended to us. When we arrived, I was thinking "this is my kind of place!". It definitely had a tavern feel (as stated in their name, lol). Our server was very sweet and helpful with her recommendations. I ordered the pork tacos but they got it wrong and served me the bowl. In hindsight, I should've taken the bowl and asked for tortillas on the side. There was way more shredded pork in the bowl than the tacos I was eventually served. My tacos were tasty, just not much meat. Fries were good. My son did enjoy his fish & chips. My husband didn't care for his bison burger and said it was too salty. My daughter ordered the dip trio and it was not great. While the food was nicely plated, it wasn't as good as it looked. read more

We ordered the Bison burgers (2 different selections), and they were the best food we have had in Canmore all week! Our server was great. Patient with questions and gave great recommendations. This place has the ambiance of a local dive bar restaurant, but that is what makes it all the more appealing! HIGHLY recommended if in town. read more

Found down a one way small side road that looks like a alley. The outside has a huge patio in front of a renovated old house converted to a tavern. Was a little drizzly when we showed up so the patio was closed. We sat inside, was very busy with lunch rush. Sat at a high table close to the entrance. The high chairs weren't very comfortable we kept sliding off, that's the minus one star. Waitress was very friendly took our drink and food orders. Ordered Tavern Burger with fries and gravy, Fish Tacos, Fish and Chips with soup. The food was good and very filling for pub food. -parking is difficult to find so if you find one it's pay through app you find on the sign. read more

Tavern 1883 - Pubs Near Me - Canmore, Alberta

This was our first spot we came in Canmore for dinner and a drink. We got a bison burger, regular burger, and veggie burger. My friend said the veggie burger was good. Both me and my other friend liked the bison burger better than the regular burger. I got beet salad as a side and it was really good. I would probably get a full beet salad as an entree if I went back. My friend got the poutine which I didn't really like that much. We split the fried pickles as an app and they were probably the best dish, besides the beet salad. A really nice coating that didn't fall apart (as happens with fried pickles often) and came out piping hot. They had a nice selection of beer, as well. Server was friendly. They had live music starting right before we left which is always nice. It's a solid choice if you're in Canmore and want pub food and a drink. read more

While on splurge mode on a recent vacation, I stopped in at this cute little place called Tavern 1883 for a bite. Feeling a bit peckish, I opted for this place because of the reviews about their poutine. And they are spot on. The poutine is fricking divine, bro! Hand-cut, skin-on chips that are crispy. House-made gravy with soft and gooey cheese curds topped with fresh arugula. If you pass on this $22 share-size poutine you made mistake number one. Mistake number two would be passing on their Caesar. It is rimmed with celery salt. Absolutely delicious but make sure you stir it so the yummy spicy Caesar mix isn't a mouthful at the end. Then the bison burger. Hot damn, son. Delicious. My only complaint is small. The relish is too sweet. Paired with the salty bacon it just runs over the flavors. Ask them to go easy on the relish or pass on it. Otherwise, the burger smashes. Value? Five stars. Service? Six stars. Relish? Two stars. Eat here. Period. read more

Great for happy hour but I wouldn't want to pay full price for the quality of food, drinks, or service.

We went here tonights in a row as they had a Montain Hour special. 2:00pm - 5:00pm all drinks and food were 40% off. Service was amazing and so was the ambiance of the restaurant. We will definitely go back. read more

We stopped here while completing the Alberta Food Tour as this was one of the first trivia stops. We went at 3pm on a Wednesday and we were pretty much the only ones in there. We lived the deep fried pickles!!! And the beer we had was very good (I don't remember what it was though!) Our server was very nice and made sure to check on us frequently. The ambiance is very nice - all dark wood. I would definitely come back again! read more
