This place was delicious. I had the ahi tuna and it was amazing. I like my fish fully cooked, but that sounded and was great. The outside was crunchy on the outside, but soft in the middle. Definitely recommend this place. read more

Our last meal of our vacation and we could not have been happier. Beautiful setting on porch outside, wonderful food, and great service. The adult Meals we ordered were two different kinds of their poutine and the lamb burger. The sweet potato fries were awesome as well as their dips for the fries (cucumber ranch and some other sort of fry sauce). My daughter ordered their kid's picky platter and it may be her favorite kids meal of all time (cheese, pita bread, fruit, veggies, dip and fries). This was exactly the spot we had wished for our entire week in the area and we were sad to not discover until last day. We had unfortunately missed our other days in Canmore bc it was not on the Main Street! read more

Great spot in Canmore. On the expensive side. Service kept it from five stars. Service not horrible but server was distracted and had to be flagged to take order and then later to get check after being ignored for 20min. The food was great though. Atmosphere was found and good. Seemed like a lot of.locals. Worth a stop for sure of you ok with prices on the high side. read more

If I could I would give a zero. Worst manager ever. Waited 40 min without one dish; not even a salad. Meanwhile no explanation no service. The manager later came but was arrogant and not kind. Don't think she is a Canadian. Worst experience ever among my trips to Canmore or Banff. Food is fine though. read more

We were initially excited to try this place out. However, when we came in today the hostess was absolutely terrible. Apart from being unfriendly and rude, she gave us attitude for requesting for a slightly larger table because we had our baby with us. Regardless, she still sat us at a two seater table ... even though the restaurant was empty. It was awkward enough that we decided to leave. It's too bad, the food/menu here looked really good. read more

Awesome spot for stop by for some cocktails and pub food with plenty our patio seating. The mac and cheese was creamy and flavorful. The highlight of our meal was the lamb burger! Best lamb burger I've ever had, perfect amount of seasoning and such a juicy patty, paired with the perfect cheese on a soft bun. Portions were large and service was friendly. Long list of cocktails and beers on tap! Will return the next time I'm in Canmore! read more

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

See all

Absolutely love this place. Not only was the food great, the service was amazing. The tall gentleman that served us was beyond friendly. Loved it. read more

Tavern 1883 has fantastic customer service! They are great to deal with and we will definitely return every time we are in Canmore! The food is great and there are options for everyone! A very fun pub atmosphere! read more

While the diverse food and drink was certainly a draw for us in our week in Banff in January, what really sealed the deal was Tavern 1883s willingness to show the NFL playoff games on request, making sure we were sat at a table with good TV proximity. Our waitress was friendly, accommodating, and general a joy to chat with. While none of the food sticks out in my mind now as a stand out dish, my group of four was all happy with our diverse choices - appetizer, entree, and dessert over a 3.5 hour period of watching the game. Would go back if I (hopefully) make it back to the Banff area in the future! read more

Great atmosphere for hangout. Friendly staff. Amazing food that is different than typical burger, not greasy and satisfying at the same time. Would try this again next visit to Canada. read more

Fish tacos were bland and there were only two...so don't order this if your really hungry. The fish and chips were ok but fish seemed over breaded and really greasy. read more

Eating in and outside of Banff is a very touchy endeavor. Especially when you're on vacation and want to seek out the very best deal and experience. We chose this place because it didn't seem too terribly priced. We shared the duck nuts and the wild boar burger. The duck nuts we're supposed to be these duck confit stuffed risotto "balls", but all I seemed to taste was risotto and maybe a faint essence of confit. The aioli that they came with was too mayo tasting though the tomato jam was a savings grace. I just personally wouldn't order these again, though my SO enjoyed them. The wild boar burger was wonderfully tender and we ordered the small poutine which was a minimal upcharge. The waitress explained to us that their poutine was very classically done at the restaurant and the gravy seemed to have the taste profile of a very rich au jus. We enjoyed it for our first taste of Canadian poutine. The restaurant itself was very warm and inviting. Not pretentious at all. This is a solid restaurant choice for anyone looking for a reasonably priced meal in Canmore. read more

This is the worst bar ive ever been to. It's a waste of you time to even be here. Never come to this restaurant or bar

Excellent food, atmosphere and service. Our waitress was amazing and helped us settle our toddler by giving her colouring book and stickers which kept her busy while we waited. Will definitely be back. read more

We dined in (with a party of 6 - 2 under 4) and the service was spot on. But the highlight was the gnocchi! Hands down best gnocchi I've ever had! read more

Took my 5 yr old daughter here for a daddy daughter date and it was great for the both us of. We shared a burger and it was perfectly cooked. Great atmosphere and friendly staff read more

Service was great! Friendly from the start when seated to service throughout the meal. Fairly busy and frat ambiance. Ordered fried pickles and fried broccoli. That's where things went downhill. I guess a really bad choice on our part for appetizers. Deep fried would be the correct description Kind of took away our appetite for anything else Will come back and try something else, but nothing deep fried from here read more

Tried the pub burger and was not disappointed. Nice staff and atmosphere. My wife had the pulled pork taco which she really enjoyed. Worth the stop if you're in town. read more

They have a special on Wednesdays- 10oz of prime rib and a glass of house wine/draft beer for $19. We thought it was a pretty good deal, and the potatoes and carrots that came with the meal were very good. The prime rib was a bit thin, however for the price I thought it was pretty worth it! read more

We visited this tavern off the recommendation of the front desk person of our hotel. It was ok, we left a little disappointed with the food. Atmosphere was nice, service was good, but the food was just ok. We have definitely found better food options in Canmore, so we probably wouldn't put this at the top of our list to visit again. read more

Pretty good place!! The food was very very good and the ambience was great! This place really surprised me as it's like a pub, but is still kids friendly. For those families that enjoy taking the kids out, this place is just perfect! In addition the service was very good! And the wine not bad. I would definitely go back to this place!! read more

I often come to Tavern 1883 - in fact it has slowly become my go to in Canmore. With live music and plenty of food and drink specials it's hard not to love this place. The food portions are massive and the burgers are to die for. Highly recommend! read more

The putine here was really, really good. The menu is well put together and there are lots of great options to try. The burger they sell is absolutely amazing, and the best burger I've ever had (and I live in the U.S.). Would genuinely recommend and will definitely come back when we're in town again. The wait was a bit long for a Monday (New Year's Day) night, so if you're in a hurry, this may not necessarily work. But give it a try! read more

Another night and another great restaurant in Canmore. The 1883 was hopping. Full patio with blankets and gas heaters all around. Fast service. Nice staff. I had the lamb burger and my partner the wild boar burger. Both were done sous vide. Excellent all around. read more

They have daily specials and live entertainment! I would love to come back on a Wednesday for Trivia Night. Everyone in my group enjoyed their meal, I however, was unsatisfied with my Truffle Parmesan Mac and Cheese. The first bite was so bland I ended up adding a great deal of salt to my meal. I also added the pork belly to it which I think made it better. I will definitely come back the next time I'm in town, but will not be ordering the mac and cheese. read more

The food is good but service is typically slow. Servers are in no big hurry. We have dined here several times hoping service would improve however no luck. We waited a long time to be served. Drinks were slow. Had to approach another server to place our food order, once we received our food no one stopped by to see if everything was okay. We had to ask to have our bill at the end of the meal. We may as well have waited on ourselves. If you are okay to wait and aren't fussy about good service this is a place to check out. read more

This was my first time coming to this establishment and although the staff was overall accommodating, however the food was somewhat undercooked and the host I had was very rude and inconsiderate read more

For a "Pub", the food was above expectations! It was edgy and delicious. Lots of choices and variety. The liquor choices were plentiful! And Beer fabulous! The ambiance was fun, inviting and classy but not stuffy. Everything was delightful. read more

Terrific food. Had the ultimate burger with poutine and it was great. the gravy on the poutine was very tasty and not just some generic gravy. Nice selection of beers too. read more

we went here based on the reviews we saw here. we were very disappointed with the whole experience. i was served my drink before we ordered our food, it was finished before they delivered the appetizers, and it was never refilled even after asking multiple times. we had the sweet potatoe fries and brussel sprouts for appetizers but were unable to eat more than a couple bites as they were way over salted. we both ordered the elk burger to try something new. it was the driest meat i had ever had, you could tell it was handformed from the finger marks all the way around, it was over an inch thick in the middle and pointy around the edges. i will not go here again. read more

Love this place. Great prices on happy hour. Lots of local beers. And Trivia Night is a blast!

The food and vibe at this joint is awesome! The staff were extremely friendly and accommodating to our 30 person group. Probably the best Brussels sprouts I have ever had. Even if you say " I hate Brussels " - try these, I dare you. Amazing selection of tasty tacos and seriously reasonably priced drinks. Live music with a funky blue grass style band to top it off and finish the night in style! read more

Waiter said they are known for their burger so I gave it a whirl, he was not kidding! Wow, excellent burger - I could have eaten two. The jam is a unique and tasty twist on a condiment, and the meat, bun, and other accompanying veggies were perfect. A bit pricey for a few burgers and beers, but I would head back there in a second for another run at that burger. read more

I had high expectations seeing the reviews on yelp and I was a bit disappointed. First the food was not that treat. I had the fish and chips and it was ok. The fries and the batter was the same as what you can find almost anywhere else. The only good thing is that the pieces of fish were pretty thick. The meat in the lamb burger was pretty dry. The only thing that saved that plate was the goat cheese that gave it a bit of taste. Service was friendly and comfort was not that great. read more

It was a crowded Friday, but we had very little wait as the staff was good at a quick turnaround. Despite a full section, our server was very available to us. Additionally, the house wine and prime rib were delicious. Highly recommend! read more

Great food! We got the tavern burger and wild boar burger and both of us agreed it was some of the best burgers we've ever had. Their drinks were fantastic as well. Our server was very nice, but service was slow. Overall, would definitely recommend and go back! read more

My wife and I came to Canada on our honeymoon. While staying in Canmore we tried this place and it was awesome! We had duck poutine for an appetizer and it was just incredible. My wife had the stuffed lamb burger and I had the special which was the smoked sandwich with a salad, fries and a pecan tart to finish. It was all excellent! Our waitress was exceptional and great to converse with and she told us how to tell the difference between Australian and New Zealand accents. If you are in Canmore area try this place out. read more

We stayed in Canmore for four nights and ate at the Tavern twice! Excellent service, excellent food, excellent ambiance! You will not be disappointed ! Burgers were awesome. Especially the elk burger. Sweet potato fries best I've ever had. Calamari excellent preparation. Just change the dipping sauce. Husband loved the beers. Thanks, Tavern! read more

Our server Jake was great. He recommended the truffle fries and they did not disappoint. My boyfriend had the wild boar burger and I had the pork belly tacos. Delicious, we will be back read more

Great service from Amy made our experience a great one! Unique burgers, a wide range of starters and a pretty good beer selection makes this one of the go-to watering holes in town. We happened across it this time, but next time we'll head straight there! read more
