Banff Ave Brewing Co is on the south side of town close to the bridge, and it's easy to miss among…read moreall the other exciting restaurants and bars on Banff Ave. But I'm so glad we found it on our wanderings on a cold Friday afternoon, as it provided a warm and welcoming environment for us to thaw and socialize indoors. Our server was very friendly albeit a bit frazzled, but the vibes were great all around. One of the best things about Banff Ave Brewing is that all appetizers are half off on Fridays (at least during happy hour)! They also have a nice selection of beers. Their flights are neat in that they offer 6 options instead of the more typical 4, so you can try everything you want to try. We had the nachos, poutine, and several beers. The poutine was a bit salty but the nachos were excellent, definitely get the beer cheese sauce as an add-on. I also got to try a special dragonfruit kolsch they had on tap, which was really mild and easy drinking as well. I'll definitely be back when I'm in Banff again!

The day was perfect for outdoor dining and people/traffic watching on a Sunday afternoon. The beers were cold and refreshing! The Elk Burgers were juicy, tender and delicious! Highly recommend! I enjoyed just sitting there and watching the world go by and soaking up the mountain vibes while sipping my Hazy IPA. Our server was friendly and on top of things... Making sure we had refills as we wanted and that our waters were filled too cuz the Mountains tend to dry you out. Especially when drinking alcohol. Ha!

The staff is really friendly and nice, and are very understanding. The place is 3 stories and you can drink from 3-5 and then dinner starts at 5. It's a very nice and ambient place. The food is really tasty and yummy, all the dishes are very well plated and delicious. The only downside was the pork chop was a little salty, but there are way more pros than cons. Everything else was really good. Will definetly come again if we visit here again.

Our first dinner in Canmore. We were seated outdoors at our request on a beautiful evening with…read moregreat mountain views. We had street corn dip served with chips as an appetizer. It was cheesey and a big serving and a hot at our table. We also had a bison burger with french fries that was good and cooked medium. Fries wete hot and crispy. We also ordered a 16 hour brined pork chop dinner that came with mashed potatoes whipped cantillini beans. Tge chop was a bit dry for my taste, it needed more sauce on it. Potatoes were good but my favorite was the cantillini beans. They were excellent. We had good service, and they have both indoor, outdoor seating. Parking is an issue in Canmore. Paid street and lot parking.

Another patron whispered to me 'Not worth it' so we ended up just getting beer flights. $12 for 4 5oz samples. Tons of flavors to choose from which was really nice. Lots of brands and variety.

I brought my daughter a bottle and it fell out of her refrigerator and broke. I wanted to lick it off the floor, but managed to constrain myself. I never thought I'd shed tears over tonic syrup. I curse the day I discovered Wild Life Distillery, because until I make it back to Canada it will just be a figment of my imagination. Damn you Wild Life! You really make some amazing products. Cheers!

I had made reservations for Tank310 about a month in advance. We showed up and they said they…read moredidn't have record of our reservations. I pulled up my email and showed them and they said "we'll get you seated asap". It was then they tried to put us at a table near the elevator/host stand. We politely asked for a window seat instead, which we were given. The views are not like in the photos. They have tint on the windows so you can't see the mountains if the sun is shining in. I'll post a photo of what it really looks like below. Anyway, we had to wait 15 minutes for our very sweet server to take our order... and then about 40 minutes for a kids cheese pizza, a pepperoni pizza and a salad. My salad was god awful. Overdressed with soggy, mealy watermelon and bruised strawberries. The pizzas weren't much better, too much crust and too much grease. Getting drinks refilled took forever because they were slammed. I would not recommend.

The space is very nice. Our server was also nice. The food was mid, the wait time was far too long,…read moreand the prices were very high. Beer was mid also. Check in was weirdly hard out front. My brisket sandwich was inedible and included something like a bay leaf that was clearly meant to be removed before serving. I barely touched it and when the server took it away, they didn't say anything. We started with a margarita pizza which was actually pretty good. The Caesar salads were nothing special, bland. Pros for this place is they take reservations. I'd rather wait for a table somewhere else.

Our group was located in an annex room right of the main entrance and was the perfect size to fit all of us. We had 2 primary servers who did an excellent job of making sure we had full glasses and full plates. We did family-style sharing of some of their starters and main dishes. The Bread and Butter was really delicious and it looks like their butter flavor is on rotation daily. The duck wings had a peach glaze and nuoc cham and cilantro- great combination. The chicken vegetable dumplings had great skin and texture. The peppercorn salad was adorned with pickled cabbage, capers, maple coconut, crunchy chickpeas and more - it was amazing. We also tried the Thai basil risotto and it was good but I'd go with the peppercorn salad over this if you're sticking vegetarian. The final dish was Alberta AAA Beef Brisket accompanied by gochujang mashed potatoes and broccolini. The brisket was incredible and just melted on the tongue. And the beer/spirits here were impressive as well. BLAKE is a must-try destination while in Canmore!
