And indeed. Delicious, unique beautiful creations in every glass. I also left having enhanced my liquor IQ despite killing a few brain cells :-). What took me pleasantly by surprise was the food. Holly Crap it was incredible. I had a burger that tasted as if it was homemade. Such fresh ingredients, all prepared with level of skill I would expect in a fine dining establishment. Really recommend TTL for lunch/dinner or a catered event.

The Rundle Bar at the Fairmont Banff Springs hotel is an absolutely beautiful space. The balance of…read moreold world charm and elegance is prominent from the moment you walk into the iconic space. The space used to be the original lobby from 1888 but now occupies the bar. We've had the pleasure of visiting fantastic bars in a lot of places but Rundle Bar is special. The service level is as good as it can be. The staff makes you feel like you're in their home. They're incredibly attentive but not annoying. We had great conversation with many of the them and they genuinely care about you having a memorable experience. The views on the patio (alfresco terrace) are as epic as it gets with views of the breathtaking mountains everywhere you look. It's been named the best patio in Canada for years and you will see why when you walk out of the beautiful Rundle Bar onto the patio. The menu is made up of classics and signature creations. I had the Ember which is an old fashioned variation made up of high quality spirits and an infused maple syrup it was one of the best cocktails I've had in a long time. It didn't hurt that it came with a smoke show. It was so good that I have to create a separate post with photos and videos vs. detailing it here. Trust me, it's gorgeous!!! Banff has been on my list forever and I finally visited. The Fairmont Banff Springs hotel was equally a place I needed to experience and it didn't disappoint. The Rundle Bar was a bonus I wasn't expecting so make sure you make time to visit this magical place when you finally check Banff off of your list. I'm definitely going back with my beautiful wife because we have to experience it together. You need to go. Salute @thejohnnycocktail

The drink was made nicely--no fuss, no shortcuts, just done right. The seating was comfortable and well laid out, and the ambience is hard to beat. Warm lighting, classy atmosphere, and the kind of views you only get at the Banff Springs. It's the sort of place where you can actually relax, talk, and take in the surroundings without feeling crowded or rushed. Overall, a solid experience. Good drink, great setting, and absolutely worth stopping in if you're at the hotel or nearby.

Came here for family brunch based on Yelp reviews and was not disappointed. Although it's a…read morenon-descript, boxy hotel resto located in industrial Red Deer, the food at Boulevard is quite good and relatively inexpensive. As an example, my bro had the grilled chicken sandwich for $12.50, which comes with brie & caramelized onions. His comment was, "Earls could learn a thing or two!" Eggs were perfectly poached the old school way. My aunt loved her prime rib hash with beets, the dish looked beautiful as well. I had the goat cheese omelette with tomato relish, caramelized onions, shrimp and ham. Really good, served with just the right amount of little potato pan-fries and toast. Everyone loved their meals, service was prompt and friendly, and they let us hang out and chat until they had to close up at 3. Recommended for a good quality, reasonably priced brunch. Ambience is lacking, but otherwise it's a winner.

Ramsay Lounge is a hidden gem located within the Fairmont Banff Springs. I remember walking through…read morethe area during a visit in September 2019 but the lounge wasn't open. However, during a more recent visit (June 2022), we were able to stop for a post-dinner beverage. Only open Friday to Tuesday from 5pm to 11pm, Ramsay Lounge is worth checking out after a long day of exploring the breathtaking Banff area and Banff Springs hotel. Maxime L. took great care of my friend and me despite it being a bit busy on the Monday evening we were there. Anyway, definitely stop and enjoy this tucked-away secret spot for yourself!

I definitely enjoyed the craft cocktails, and the attention to details. There was so many I wanted to try. My wife ordered a drink and it was really strong. Felt bad for her haha. We ordered the duck legs and my wife normally doesn't eat duck but she devoured them! I enjoyed them as well. We shared the dragon bowl because the description was interesting and it said sweet potato glass noodles, when they came out and we tried it and I was like oh it taste like Japchae Korean noodles! The flavor was really good and it had a little nice kick of spiciness to it. Adding crispy tofu is a plus! Overall, really cool date spot and the vibe is pretty chill. Service was great.

I did call for a reservation in the morning for 8 plus a 2 year old. We were put in the private area which was okay. They charged us a 18 percent gratuity without telling me in advance.

There were no buns offered which were always were before. We were there for my birthday and probably won't be back.

Though even from his description, I thought it was going to be a seedy looking joint with great food! Instead, it ended up being a good-sized restaurant and sports bar. I sat on the bar side (it was pretty empty, but it was a weekday afternoon!). Sometimes, when places are empty, it's even harder to get service. Not here, the one server/bartender on for the afternoon was prompt with my drink order and a lunch menu. Lunch fare is usually pub food but with a Greek twist. Expect to find sandwiches, burgers and wrap.. but also some entrees like spanakopita. I opted for the grilled vegetable and chicken piadina (or piatina? something like that). It was a grilled pita filled with veggies, chicken, feta cheese and sauce. Soooo good! It hit the spot for a hungry wanderer like myself. There's nothing overly special about the drinks... the usual big name beers are on tap or in bottle. I'd up another star if they carried some Alberta beers. The bathrooms were also very clean and as new as the rest of Leto's! Clean bathrooms like this in a small town impress the pants off me... pardon the bathroom pun. There was a cash machine on premise, so I'm not sure if they accept debit or not.
