There are maybe 5 or 6 tables inside, most for 2 people, so not a good place for a large group to try to eat in house. Big sign on the wall lists the menu, service was fast and polite. Problem is once you order you wait to pick up, and the service window is at the back, so it gets really crowded. I felt like I was constantly in someone's way, but that could be a me issue! All in all, delicious sandwiches and wraps for a great price.

The pinery pilsner, happy trails pale ale, and peach cream ale were probs my fav. We also tried some of their food which was delicious as well, but the star of the show is def their beer. We tried their elk and kale pizza and tuna poke bowl. Never had elk before, but it tastes like lean beef!

The Mac and cheese had shaved mushrooms, not big chunks, but shaved, that is the difference between a chef and a cook. The Fish and chips were phenomenal, they use their own beer for their batter and you just need this in your life!

Ordered the prime rib toast (wich is unexpectedly very delish..favorful..balanced...unlike all those toast i have eaten before...omg, im drooling as im typing). And ordered french omellette (my friend is vegetarian and she said it's absolutely tasty and yummy and she is happy to see quite good options for no-meat dish). We went to 4 other places during our 3days in banff, this is the ONLY place she praised (not simply bc of veg options,but the fact that its delish). That means something! They also generously gave us lemon cheesecake as bday cake (it was my bday and kinda nice to have small sweet celebration considering i was away from home). It was also our last day and we went to airport right after this brunch . What a beautiful end of our trip. Thank you, bluebird team!

We loved the variety of pasta shapes and flavors, and you can watch them make it in house too :) My favorite pasta was the truffle agnolotti and the tomato-based rigatoni with just a hint of spice. The agnolotti was unique and tasty; the cheese filling inside was so creamy, smooth, and thick without being pasty. And the perfectly sized rigatoni was simple but creamy and flavored just right (wished there was some meat though!). The pastas were cooked nicely, but I prefer just a smidge more al dente. Happy to have vegetable options too! The asparagus and beets were yummy and a little different (yellow beets with a goat cheese sauce instead of crumbled, almonds and burrata on the asparagus), and the salads were full of flavor without dousing them in dressing. Overall, a nicely presented and delicious meal for everyone! Our waiter, Dylan, was charming and friendly. He skillfully cleared our table's stacks of plates in one go with ease and kept our water glasses full (thank you!).

Admittedly, I'm not much of a drinker but I'll have some once in a while and Bear Street seems to have a pretty good selection. I tried a Vietnamese Coffee Stout which I enjoyed. I'm definitely more of an eater than I am a drinker and the eats at Bear Street Tavern are excellent. My party got 2 pizzas and a salad and we enjoyed it all. To start we got the Tavern Bowl. It's a bunch of different vegetables with a Tahini Miso Dressing and kimchi on top. All the different textures and flavors worked really well together and the salad served as a nice break between bites of pizza. The Wheeler Hut pizza has mushrooms, ricotta, truffle oil, pesto, and mozzarella. If you're a fan of truffle flavor you'll enjoy this pizza. As soon as it was brought out I could already smell the truffle. The Mediterranean has olives, feta cheese, sun-dried tomatoes, artichokes, red onions, chili flakes, spinach, mozzarella, and balsamic glaze. A little busier than the Wheeler Hut, but it was equally delicious. I'm not sure which pizza I liked more. Both pizzas had a fantastic crust with some char. Substantial enough to stand up to the toppings but still a little doughy for a nice chew. The char gives a nice crunch as well. Service is quick and friendly and the prices are fair, especially in a tourist area. I definitely recommend Bear Street Tavern.
