Great little bar with very reasonably priced Happy Hour specials. We only stayed for a couple pints, no food but can't beat the location for a drop in.

Went in last night for trivia and they treated my group very poorly. Waited over an hour for food and was met with vulgarity when asking for a refund.

This could be the most local Awesome bar in all of Banff. Happy hour all day Sunday, great specials, and great drinks. The prices are amazing! Had a beer and the poutine, which is probably the best poutine I’ve ever had! I’ll be back many more times.

Stopped in to see if I should stay here for the night or go on my way. I had the special, chicken tortillas. Decent but not spicy lacking flavour so get the trio of sauces for it. You have to pre pay for your food and drinks. I have stayed here in the past, female bunk rooms. I liked their location in Kelowna also.

We were staying in this hostel and didn't know until we got here that they had their own restaurant. Honestly didn't know WHAT to expect but only ate there on a whim as we were very tired from hiking.
That being said, WOW wow this place is absolutely amazing. We were hungry and tried many dishes and all were loved:
-Curry soup - I'm not a curry fan but my partner devoured it.
-Hummus platter - super good hummus, super crispy slices of flatbread for dipping.
-Poutine - Super crispy fries, rich gravy, plenty of gooey cheese.
-Burger - Tons of flavor, very fresh. Their burger patty is a blend of something unfamiliar, almost spongy. idk but it was good anyway!
Lots of great Happy Hour specials too!

Absolutely terrible service, ignorant, arrogant bar tender & so dirty that I wouldn't touch a drink or food he would prepare. A shame for the entire town🤮
Nice atmosphere, small bar and really tasty burger. I had the ‘Big Daddy’, $20 plus tax.

Amazing Pub! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Super friendly staff and a great atmosphere. The burgers were absolutely delicious — fresh ingredients, full of flavor, and cooked perfectly. The fries were incredible too, easily the best I’ve had! All that at a price that’s hard to beat. Can’t wait to come back!

They have happy hour everyday 4 to 6pm. Sunday full day is happy hour all day.
I had IPA beer. Anyway that is my favourite.
The food is amazing guys. I had the beef burger and chips.
But don't take my word check it out.
If u meet Jacko at the counter he is amazing and very helpful

This is a no-frills kind of bar—small, basic, and nothing particularly memorable. If you're looking for a fancy atmosphere or craft cocktails, this probably isn't the place. But if you're after a cheap bite and a casual drink, it does the job.
The food is simple and very affordable, which is probably the best thing about the place. Don’t expect gourmet meals, but the portions are decent and it’s great for a quick, budget-friendly stop. The drink selection is limited but reasonably priced.
Service was okay—nothing outstanding, but not bad either. The place was clean, though a bit cramped, and seating is limited. It seems to draw mostly regulars and locals, so there’s a laid-back, no-judgment kind of vibe.
Overall, it’s a solid option if you’re in the area and want something low-key and cheap. Just don’t expect anything fancy.

Beaver Bar reminds me of what a real alpine bar is supposed to be like. The places in the downtown are ok but also hit or miss. This place has great deals on drinks, good food with large portions, and it's just that kind of place where anyone will role up and sit at the bar for a conversation. Definitely NO fancy, bougie, or nonsense, Just a great local bar. (Jacko is a great bartender 👍)
