The food was lovely and the service was great. We thoroughly enjoyed our first experience at the restaurant, for my wife’s birthday. A complementary desert was also provided, which was a lovely finishing touch. Writing ‘Happy Birthday’ in chocolate sauce on the serving plate was a fantastic idea! Many thanks to your serving staff and chefs for a great lunch.

Banff

About the restaurant

We’re Banff’s living room. We share Banff’s real mountain lifestyle – active living by day, living actively by night. Banff Ave Brewing is a place where locals come to share the stories of their mountain experience and plan the next one, and where out-of-town visitors come to feel comfortable and soak in the real Banff. We're stoked to offer three different spaces, two of which you can reserve tables for:

The Pub
Get comfy and hunker down for après-whatever in Banff’s almost-secret hideaway. Enjoy great craft brews and all your pub favourites in a casual venue that’ll make you feel like a local, no matter where you’re from.

The Lodge
Climb on up to our newest casual dining spot with an easy-going approach. Anchor in for Banff’s legit take on Detroit-style deep-dish pizza (if you know, you know), along with pasta and small plates – perfect for sharing with the crew.
