Food was decent ;however the atmosphere and inattentiveness towards us was very well known while conversing with other customers that are Caucasians. Seems like there is some discrimination towards Asian even though we treated them with respect. Please consider that not all Asians are inadequate. read more

Great service. Food was ok. Not a lot of selections. Came out really fast. Outside sitting is available.

From the grumpy hostess to the mediocre food, this place is a must miss The very generous serving of fries and pretty good outdoor seating ambience keep this place from being a 1 The fries smelled burnt and the fish was tasteless and bland in the fish and chips. The kids waffle looked and tasted like a frozen one and the burger subpar read more

Tavern 1883 is a solid choice. We each got a burger, my chicken burger was good but my sister's bison burger was to DIE. Also tried some of her Moscow mule which was super yummy. They got pretty busy so maybe make a reservation! It made me laugh, our waiter was wearing shorts and everyone dining in the restaurant had full on winter coats/scarves/etc. So Canadian lol! read more

The chicken tikka sandwich is an amazing thing. Like really amazing. Our server was an absolute delight, as well. The real gem, for our family is the kids menu, which is tasty and well thought out. We found the general vibe of the place to be welcoming, not too loud, and very friendly. Go check it out! read more

Nice atmosphere, but burger wasn't very good. The meat had a weird taste/consistency (not spoiled) bread was kinda stale. Didn't eat more then a quarter of it. G/f had a veggie burger and she didn't enjoy hers either, said the same about the bread. read more

Outstanding meal! The Caribbean jerk tacos are amaze balls! I devoured them in no time. My wife had the salmon chicken burger. That was also amazing! I did get to have a piece of her burger. ;). The truffle fries are also very good!! Service was very good and the music was spot on relaxing for a late afternoon/ early evening dinner. Very chill/relaxing place to have food and a beer. The presentation was a primary reason we visited this place. The angry orchard hard cider rose drank by my wife as tasty in addition to the Konekee(spelling?!?) that I had. The best food and beer joint to visit in this town as we've visited many. read more

Had a shaft beverage and the chicken parm sandwich. Their Shaft cocktail has espresso ice cubes in it which was fun. We were there on a Wednesday which is trivia night. We sat at the bar and the service was attentive. Food was great, drink was great, and the fries are amazing. read more

The food was good and the weather was nice so we sat on the patio. Our server was great and provided good recommendations

Excellent! The first night we didn't eat but had drinks and watched the live entertainment right up front. Great service! The next time I had the Elk Meatballs and they were great. read more

Friendly staff and speedy service. Ordered a beer that was not brought to the table until asked for when the food got there. Fries were luke warm and food was just ok. Definitely nothing special. Ordered the bison burger and tavern burger with fries/poutine. I did appreciate that there were GF options. Overall, experience was just "ok" and likely won't return while we are visiting. read more

Great chicken tikka tacos. We split it and got one extra taco. Amazing. Great service- Dawn was awesome. Beer and wine selection solid. Enjoyed our lunch! read more

Food was delicious and service was excellent. We were able to sit outside and enjoy the warm weather.

We were out for a bachelorette party recently in Canmore and the Tavern was recommended to us by the restaurant we had dinner at. We were looking for a place where we could have more drinks and also do some dancing. I'm so happy we wound up there. Our waitress was PHENOMENAL. she remembered everyone's drinks and even brought us more on the dance floor. (We were really sad when she left for the night) There was a guest DJ playing who played awesome Music, we may have been the only ones dancing at the start but by the end of the night the dance floor Was packed. It's small and quaint but has a really strong "homey" comfortable - everyone knows your name vibe. read more

Can not accommodate groups of 16. They asked us to come back in 1 hour, but gave no guarantee they would actually have tables, because they wouldn't keep any free for us either, so only if no one else shows up? Just say you cannot accommodate groups. read more

I hate writing bad reviews, but this was the worst burger I've ever eaten. I was looking forward to a juicy burger and I bit into it and it was extremely dry with no taste and pieces of gristle all throughout, i couldn't finish it. I was so disappointed because the pictures looked good on Yelp. Got the soup as well and was also so bland. Definitely much better choices for restaurants in town. read more

Very busy place. Cosy feel. On a side street. Pleasant staff. Interesting beers. Has a nice patio. Burger was tasty and tangy (secret recipe they told me). Way too much butter and sauce on the burger... both patties actually slid off the bun. LOL!Caesar salad had way too much sauce too. 3 stars for food, 4 for ambiance. read more

After walking around the block trying to find a restaurant, my family and I stumbled onto this restaurant. We ordered truffle Mac and cheese, chicken wings, poutine, fried pickles & jalapeños, and some sort of braised pork. The atmosphere was nice and the staff was friendly. What prevents me from giving this restaurant all 5 stars is that our food took a while to come. We were waiting for a while. The chicken wings were a little bit dry(maple bourbon flavor). The poutine was really soggy but I guess I kinda liked it:)) I enjoyed the truffle Mac and cheese and the fried pickles! Yum. read more

This was one of those times where my quickie Yelp fingers made me seem like a magic superhero to my tired and hungry friends. After a long day - and even longer weekend - working at the Canmore Folk Festival my friends wanted to go somewhere with a crew to have a delicious celebratory meal and beers. They were aimed for a spot they'd been to years before but when I looked it up the reviews had nosedived. They texted a friend who's local and before she could shoot back a suggestion I had this place pulled up. We got a wholehearted thumbs up from the locals and made our way to this small, cozy, woodsy, amazing smelling restaurant tucked just a little bit off the main drag. We had amazing salmon burgers and veggie burgers and tacos and amazing local beers. We cuddled into a booth and passed around the happy baby and had amazing fun friendly service from a Quebecois gent who made us feel right at home. I'd love to come back another time for quality food and nice vibes on the patio! read more

Cool place with live music on weekends. Close to downtown. Watermelon salad was so good! Burger was good but impossible to eat. Service was great and friendly. (Server was Quebec City) super sweet. read more

Great place with very good pub food and a great selection of drinks. Service was good and overall a great experience.

I had a few hours alone in Canmore and was looking for a quiet place to hang out. I'd walked past a few times and decided to venture in for a pint and a bite to eat. They have decent wifi if you are looking for a place to work too. The staff are pretty relaxed but that doesn't mean unattentive. In fact they were great but I didn't feel like they were breathing down my neck. I was left in peace to enjoy a beer and chill, which I appreciated. The decor is rustic with a few modern touches including Canadian flag cushions on all of the benches at the rear of the bar. They have a small patio too but I was hiding from the sun so the bar did me a turn. Feeling peckish I checked the menu and went for the crab dip. It came with pita and nachos and was super unhealthy bowl of melty cream cheese and crabby goodness. I! was perfect. I loved it! And they even packed up my leftovers to take away with me. Next time I'm in Canmore, I know where I'm going for a pint. read more

Tavern is one of my very favourite spots in Canmore. I've been 5 or 6 times and I've always enjoyed myself. The atmosphere is perfectly casual and there's usually sports on TV. I've never been when it hasn't been packed, so reservations are a good idea. You can't go wrong with either the sweet potato fries or the Truffle Parmesan Fries to start. They're known for their tacos, I believe they've discontinued their fish tacos (which were the best), but you can still get chicken or pork belly, both are delicious! The vegetarian item that I just can't get enough of is the veggie curry masala...so good! It is a bar too, and I've probably sampled every drink on the menu. My absolute favourite is the Cucito (vodka, cucumber, mint, soda & syrup). It's so fresh and you can hardly taste the liquor (trust me, it's there ;) I'm also a sucker for a good Caesar, and the Tavern makes one of the best! Love this restaurant!! read more

"Go in, the food's amazing!", said a stranger coming out of Tavern as we stood outside debating where to go for dinner. Luck was on our side, we managed to snag a table on a busy Saturday night. We got the Tavern Pig Nut Skillet to share and I split the braised pork belly poutine and duck lettuce wraps with a friend. That skillet. A pork trifecta is how I would describe it. A pork meatball mixed with pork belly wrapped in bacon and then baked in a maple BBQ glaze. Ummm, can they please make this into some sort of sandwich?! The smokey flavoring for the duck was perfect, although there didn't seem to be enough of it filling the lettuce wrap which was a bit disappointing. The crispy pork belly bits in the poutine made up for it a little, I think. All in all, a pretty decent meal at Tavern. Thanks well advising stranger, wherever you are! read more

We saw Tavern 1883s menu on the side of a building outside and thought it sounded good. Upon reading Yelp reviews and how good it was we figured it was a good idea to get our name on the list. We called and it was no problem and we were thankful we did! We watched so many people turn and leave due to the long wait. I split the bison burger and gnocchi with my friend and I was a little bit sad to pass my gnocchi over because it was drool-worthy. However, when she passed me the bison burger I felt much betted based on how delicious it was! Our waitress was extremely friendly and helpful -happy to answer any questions! I also tried a bite of the meatloaf which was house-made and AMAZING. Everything we had here was delicious-highly recommend! read more

Very great vibe and amazing staff. the food options are legit and had plant-based that were bang on.

They were very busy the night we came since it was basketball playoff and hockey night, but we go lucky that there was one last table of two open when we arrived before the family dinner rush came in. I loved the atmosphere, very pubby/tavern(ish) with a beer bar and wood everything making the feeling very warm and welcoming. They also have a patio you can sit at when it gets warmer (it was still winter when we went Memorial day weekend 2019) so nobody sat outside. They also have an amazing view just by being in downtown Canmore because they're surrounded by snowcapped Rockies. We walked in and the hostess was very friendly and sat us down promptly. Although I will say getting the waitress to get our order did take awhile though. We ordered their Tavern burger (I asked for lettuce wrap), gnocchi, and fried brussels sprouts. Their brussels sprouts was surprisingly delicious (I am NOT a fan of brussels sprouts LOL). It wasn't as bitter as I thought it was going to be and the seasoning they used on the outside complemented it very well. As for the burger, the Alberta beef used in it was AMAZING. I've been trying to figure a method to describe the meat texture, it's definitely different from American beef. I just don't exactly know how except that it's very tasty! Unfortunately, the boyfriend did not like his gnocchi because the dough to potato ratio was really off (too much dough) and wasn't to his liking. The four stars was mostly for my Tavern burger dish and the very boisterous and warm atmosphere! read more

Tavern 1883 is one of the few restaurants that remain open late. The interior has quite a rustic feel to it. There's plenty of street parking nearby. After a long day's hike at Lake Louise, I was quite hungry so I ordered the tavern classic burger and fries. The wait for the food was quite long, probably on the order of 30-40 minutes. This isn't the place to go if you're in a hurry. The burger was just okay. It had a distinct texture. Compared to other burgers I've had, this one broke apart easily while I was eating it. It wasn't bad, just different. It was still tasty regardless. read more

Tavern 1883 was our first stop in Canmore & it certainly made a great first impression! From the cozy atmosphere, amazing food & friendly staff - we instantly felt welcomed & excited to explore more. My partner got the Tavern burger & was recommended the truffle oil parm fries to try & we are so glad because they were a favourite! The shaved Parmesan was delicious and more than a step above the powdered parm that is typical at restaurants. This is the real deal! Fresh, high quality food. I'll admit, I snuck more than a few off their plate. They also raved about the burger for the rest of the trip, the flavourful, juiciness was certainly memorable. I got the truffle oil smoked Montreal meat poutine & it was incredible, the cheese curds were nice & squeaky, topped with fresh gravy - the highest of Canadian poutine standards :) The menu takes food everyone enjoys, such as burgers and poutine, and elevates it with interesting ingredients that take it from soul food to fine dining! There are even fun events like open mic nights, unfortunately we had to leave before we could check those out but they are definitely a must for the next time we visit Canmore. We look forward to coming back. read more

Wonderful patio and great service! We got the chicken and pork tacos which were amazing

Seemed like a very local place to hang out and eat dinner. The food was quick and amazing to say the least. Highly recommend this place.

This restaurant lives up to its Yelp rating. Great food, great selection of craft brews. Nice, casual tavern atmosphere with lots of interesting wall art. I had the fish and chips, which was one of the best that I have had (including London). Well informed, helpful waitstaff. read more

I love this place for a very important reason...... About a year ago just after Covid was hitting I spent the whole day hiking by myself alone and wet and miserable in the rain and arrived sweaty and shaky and all my limbs were definitely in need of some food and I literally walked to six different restaurants in Kenmore and these guys were the only ones to take me in because everybody else had Covid excuses or they were full. I was so miserable I was literally worried about my health and they were awesome all the customer service was incredible and the food was even better and it's nothing like being welcomed when you're cold and starving !!!!! Great burgers and soups !!!!!!:) read more

Loved this place. I ordered a sangria I had the cod fish tacos with mango salsa and it was delicious and it came with a Caesar salad. Very yummy. My husband had the tavern burger and he said it was delicious and came on a pretzel bun. He had a Caesar and said was delicious. I Will definitely return the next time I'm in Canmore and try the fried chicken that I have heard so much about read more

This was probably one of the bottom 3 places we went to in our week-long trip in Canada - the service was slow, all the other customers seemed agitated by the service and food, and the meals we got were just a little bit lackluster. Perhaps it was our own fault that we ordered salads when everyone else was getting burgers and other more traditional bar food, but at least we got our food in 15-20 min while other patrons were waiting 45 min or so for their food to come out. The kitchen seemed slammed with so many people on a warm summer day, filled with tourists, so they probably just didn't have enough kitchen staff or servers, so just beware and don't come here if it's crowded and you're in a hurry or hangry. Spinach and Avocado Salad ($13.83) - This was pretty basic and I could have made this at home by myself. There wasn't much to this except spinach, pecans, dried cranberries, 1/3 of an avocado and a bacon vinaigrette dressing. At least the spinach was not wilted in the salad and the dressing was really good, but there was nothing too special about this. Roasted Vegetable Salad ($14.83) - The raspberry vinaigrette didn't really seem to go along with the ingredients in the salad, so I'd request one of the other dressings and get it on the side. My fiancé got this salad and the salad was swimming in dressing. I don't think he liked this salad too much. We got chicken on top (+$4.83) and it was a weird rubbery texture. The beer we ordered was just so-so, and overall I would not come back here or recommend it. The salads came out pretty quickly as there's basically no cooking involved, but we could have made better salads at home. In fact after we are here we felt compelled to go to Safeway and buy groceries to make salads and food for the next 2 nights. This place is not super cheap, needs to step up the their food game a little, and hire more servers and kitchen staff when the summer months get busy. read more
