Right in the middle of Banff. Distillery made spirits and locally made beers available. Famous for their array of cocktails.

Nestled in the heart of downtown Banff, Park Distillery Restaurant and Bar seamlessly blends rugged charm with culinary finesse, offering an unforgettable dining experience.Let's Go........the food – a tantalizing fusion of locally sourced ingredients crafted into mouthwatering dishes that elevate traditional mountain fare. From hearty bison burgers to delicate Bang Bang Shrimp, each bite is a celebration of the region's flavors.But it's the cocktails and gin that steal the show. Park Distillery takes pride in their hand-milling, hand-mashing, and hand-distilling techniques, ensuring each sip is imbued with unparalleled purity and depth of flavor. Their daily distillery tours provide a fascinating glimpse into this meticulous process, perfect for enthusiasts and novices alike.The staff, embodying warmth and expertise, elevate the dining experience with their genuine hospitality and knowledge. Whether recommending the perfect cocktail or sharing insights into the distillation process, they do so with infectious enthusiasm. Viro served us, and I hope I spelled her name right, but she was super awesome, responding with all the headaches and questions I asked with warmth and hospitality. She gets 5 stars... any day of the week.As for the ambiance, the cozy backcountry-inspired décor sets the stage for a relaxed yet refined dining atmosphere. The patio, offering stunning views of the surrounding landscape, is the ideal spot to savor a cocktail or enjoy a leisurely meal.So there it is, Park Distillery Restaurant and Bar is a gem in Banff, where exceptional food, handcrafted spirits, and genuine hospitality converge to create an unforgettable dining experience. They also pride themselves as the only distillery thus far in a national park in Canada. Ain't that something?Parking: There is a free park plus parking, with a 9 hour free parking time, just blocks away from Banff Ave

The BEST caesar salad and Mountaineer Marg drink I’ve ever had! & the Prime Rib dinner was incredible!! Highly, highly recommend this restaurant if you’re in Banff! Omg, I’d even wait for a table for this place if it’s busy! Sooo worth it!

The food was outstanding, the service was friendly but slow, maybe under staffed for such a busy night. The maple rye was amazing, sweet but delicious. The pasta was full of flavour, and a good amount of spice.

Great food and drinks! We had the ribs and the rotisserie chicken sandwich, with the smoked s'more and old fashioned ice cream for dessert. The s'more was average, everything else was fantastic. Really cool atmosphere and our waiter was friendly and accommodating. Would definitely recommend.
On Dec 22nd 2023, a day before our wedding in Banff on a Friday, we had invited our immediate families out to a dinner to get to know each other better. It's incredibly difficult to find somewhere in Banff that books for 17 people without it being a private room or set menu or restricted hours of service- which are horrible for families - (mostly because 80% of the restaurants in Banff, including the distillery, are owned by a parent company with the same set of rules), but we found one independent restaurant (will rename unnamed) that said they could accommodate our large party for dinner and we booked via email MONTHS ahead of time. Everyone was from out of town, some from out of the country first time visiting Canada from Europe, and we wanted it to be a seamless experience.We show up to said restaurant to find out they booked us on separate tables. Long story short it was now 7:15 PM with everyone on the way and we were scrambling to find somewhere else on a Friday. I called the distillery on a long shot and they immediately said they would accommodate us on 2 large tables on different levels (better than the previous arrangement). We headed over, were sat and served drinks, then another table got freed up next to the first one and they accommodated us AGAIN and moved us so we were all together.To say they saved the night is a MAJOR understatement. On top of that, our servers dealt with a giant group with 4 kids on no notice with such grace, and the service was still nothing short of impeccable. I left them a giant tip but they still deserved more.

Very good food and good gin as well. As a suggestion to the restaurant I would recommend installing a space heater near the entrance on cold days as I could tell some of the guests seated near there were getting cold and had to put on their jackets. Other than that, service was great too. Would come back again for sure.

We enjoyed our food and drinks, but found the prices to be very expensive! Almost $100 for 2 people for a lunch. We also found the service leaving a lot to be desired, specifically quite a long wait for drinks. The inside is decorated very cute and it has a nice vibe!
