We welcome you to The Bank & Baron, reclaimed within The Bank of Nova Scotia building, which is recognized among one of Alberta's most historical. This grand space has been unlocked and a new downtown landmark awaits you.

The Bank and Baron is located in the heart of Calgary's infamous Stephen Avenue, the pulse of downtown. This avenue was named after George Stephen, 1st Baron Mount Stephen. He was the financial genius behind the creation of the Canadian Pacific Railway, the President of the Bank of Montreal and is remembered as one of the greatest philanthropists of his time. In honor of the significant history Baron Mount Stephen imparted into the fostering of Calgary's culture , we have brewed The Bank & Baron P.U.B.

The Bank & Baron is a place where a Traditional Public Urban Bar taps into a historical avenue destination. Crafting any event from a momentous occasion to an exquisite celebration can be effortlessly drafted.

    Not very satisfied, as I made a reservation for upper deck and they mentioned it is closed. I should have been notified if the upper deck was not available before hand and not upon arrival.

    The beer was flat and two of three of our dishes came out pretty cold. The pizza was fantastic. However, service was a bit rushed as I believe they seemed understaffed. Probably wouldn’t come back here.

    Great food. Great value. Great environment. Only downside was having a reservation ahead of time and either being told our group would have to move at a certain time or continually trying to make our group pay out. Wings were great. Drinks were great. Great pricing tonight.

    We came here for new years and were disappointed by the food you get portion sizes at McDonald’s Waiter never and did refills in pop amd didn’t check in to see if we needed everything Disappointing as our friends came from out of town and when spending 80.00 you would have expectations things would be of a higher standard

    had a nice lunch. Waitress was fantastic, right amount of friendliness without being overbearing thus letting us enjoy our lunch conversations. Steak sandwich was just right. Will definitively go again.

    We had a team lunch there today. Everyone agreed it was a great place for a group to gather. It was nicely decorated for the holidays and had an upscale vibe that could fit lots of different occasions. Service was great.
