10 Best Cocktail Bars in Banff

“I recently had the pleasure of staying at the Fairmont Banff Springs, and let me tell you, it was absolutely awesome. The whole place feels like a castle in the Rockies, and the views are just breathtaking. The highlight for me was definitely the spa. It was not only beautiful, but super relaxing, with top-notch treatments that made me feel like a million bucks. If you're looking for a mix of luxury, relaxation, and a touch of magic, this place really delivers. Honestly, I could go on, but I'll just say it's a spot I'd totally recommend if you want an unforgettable getaway.“

“Wow! This beautiful restaurant has exceeded my expectations. Each menu item I tasted is absolutely delicious. The wine list is so unique and is an adventure in itself. This is a must try restaurant in Banff.“

“Brazen should be at the TOP of everyone’s food list in Banff. The atmosphere, wait-staff( Rylee rocked!), and Chef Dan were amazing! The food and drinks were phenomenal and first class. We ate at many restaurants in Banff and none touched the quality and taste of Brazen. We started with drinks of local beers from the rotating tap and the Garden Tea Party cocktail. We then moved on to the food portion of the meal. We had numerous dishes (mushrooms, ribs, potatoes, duck, gnocchi, and the ginger beef) and were pleased with the bold and flavorful taste of them all. We topped off the night with the house special Creme Brûlée and it was the perfect end to a delicious meal. Do yourself a favor and try this excellent restaurant!!“

“Steak was good and server was good. However, food was cold and overall dining experience was ok. Fairly pricey and just ok. Probably wouldn’t go again but if you really like steak and various steak options, might enjoy it. Sides were not great. Dessert was good. Again overall ok. Maybe just an off night for them.“

“We had such a lovely experience at The Old Spaghetti Factory in Banff! ❤
We ordered the all-included steak and spaghetti meal, which came with bread and garlic butter, French onion soup, and ice cream with coffee or tea to finish. Everything was delicious, and we really enjoyed our meal!
A special thank you to our server, Jazel! She was beyond wonderful, so friendly, attentive, and welcoming. She truly made our experience even more special!
This place will always be part of the beautiful memories we made in Banff. So happy we chose to dine here, and we'd definitely love to come back! ❤“

“The food is Amazing. We discovered this on our last day in Banff and I wish I could have ate here every day for breakfast. Don't make the same mistake as me. Drop me a note if you have the Canadian Hash and you think it is amazing with the seasoning and hot sauce.“

“Fantastic dinner last night! Great vegan and vegetarian options and the dishes were outstanding and creative. Nice alcohol-free options, as well. It was a little loud but that couldn’t be helped. Our server, Jeremy, was outstanding! Engaging, kind, conscientious and efficient. Highly recommend:)“

“We had a wonderful afternoon tea. The tea was delicious, the finger sandwiches were excellent. The desserts were amazing. Loved the scone as well with the jam and delicious cream. The views from the Rundle Bar were spectacular. Beautiful bar. We also had champagne with our afternoon tea. Thanks for a great experience. The Fairmont Banff Springs is a gorgeous hotel as well. We know because we stayed.“

“There’s free parking opposite Bow Falls with stairs leading up to the restaurant. The staff are great. We ordered the soft pretzels and fish and chips. Both portion sizes were large and tasted good. The view from the restaurant is the highlight“

“Went here last week while I was in Banff, food was amazing, best sushi, ramen, and calamari around!“
