Legitimately the best set of fish and chips I’ve had. I’m Texan so I don’t know how good the food around the area is but this is a damn good hole in the ground. Well worth trying to find it. Hint, it’s in the small shopping mall down the stairs.
It was $18 CAD/$13.23USD for fish and chips so not great but not bad. Glad I popped in here. I got immediately seated so yeah
Oh and they have slot machines if you’re into that. Also be careful this place looks like a liminal space so be careful sitting down you might just slip into an alternate universe.

Really recommend this place ⭐️ we were very exceptionally served. They played the FIFA game we were looking to watch, received our service dog and even treat her with a huge bowl of water, very nice service and yummy food! Thank you very much, we enjoyed our time here very much! 🙏🏼✨️

I practically lived at the Pump when I was in my 20s. I partied there so much that eventually they gave me a job and it’s still one of my favourite bartending gigs I ever worked. I left Banff for the big city of Vancouver long ago, but just this last winter I heard they started hosting an event called Banff Punk Night so I booked my band a show. I can’t begin to explain how meaningful it was to perform at the bar where I spent so many nights, and how great it was to see so many old friends. The Pump and Tap is a true community pub, and I’m happy to be a small part of its history!

I've been to Pump & Tap a few times for Banff Punk Night and it was great. Unbelievably affordable for Banff and the staff is super friendly and make you feel right at home. I can't wait to get back!

Bit of a dive bar, and the punk night is super sick. I only really go for the music these days. More music please! While there's plenty of random English things around, it's definitely nothing like an actual English pub.
Had a crazy good night! Fantastic place, amazing staff and great location!

I travelled from Edmonton to see my son and friends perform a night of EDM. I thoroughly enjoyed the show. As it appears to be more of a sports bar I’m impressed that they shake it up a bit with these music shows. I ordered the fish and chips as well. The fish pieces were small but there was quite a few of them and they were made from real fish pieces rather than ground up fish. The food was clearly freshly cooked as it was too hot to eat at first, and the fries are some of the best I’ve ever had. Their teapot drinks are also awesome. My only complaints: the fellow that was serving me was kind of grumpy despite the good tips that I gave him, and that proper British fish and chips should be served with mayo, not ketchup. But overall an excellent night.

Shady place. Only accept cash and people were smoking at the bar.
