The wings were small, but prepared well; they were crunchy and not dried out. I ordered their "Death Sauce" and it was .... slightly spicier than basic Frank's Red Hot. My friends, who don't like spicy food, said the wings tasted mostly like paprika. We also had some buffalo wings which maybe had been placed near some buffalo sauce during their preparation. The honey-garlic wings tasted as expected, which is nice. If I go back, I might ask them to mix their Death Sauce and their "Hot" sauce to see what happens.

The tables are kept in great condition, pool balls are cleaned regularly and even the bar cues are in good shape. If you are serious about pool you guys should come down and check it out.

They have a great atmosphere with a separate bar/food area with lots of tv's as well as a ping pong and foosball table upstairs. Great place to host a private party.

The cozy, welcoming pub atmosphere made us feel right at home, and the service was friendly and attentive throughout. We enjoyed a couple of local brews: the Okanagan Springs 1516 Lager and Wild Rose Wraspberry Ale--both refreshing and a perfect match for the setting. We decided to split the fish and chips, which turned out to be an excellent choice. Crispy, flaky, and full of flavor. What really surprised us was the cabbage side dish--it caught our eye on the menu, and we're so glad we went for it. Absolutely delicious and unexpectedly memorable. Is that truffle oil seasoning it? Overall, a great find with great food, drinks, and service. Would definitely return!

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.

My running group that I was traveling with brought our party to the Elk & Oarsman for a quick dinner. This place is a lodge-style sports bar that is located in the heart of the Town of Banff. There are TV screens all around that show live sports and a large fireplace. You can see the beautiful mountain scenery from the rooftop patio. It was nice of Elk & Oarsman to accommodate our large party. The service was great here. Elk & Oarsman is a sports bar that serves good food. The menu has a variety of pub fare favorites like bar snacks, sharables, salads, flatbreads, elk dishes and burgers. I was starving and ordered the Buck Hunter because I wanted to try something with elk in it. This elk & bacon burger patty comes loaded with condiments on a brioche bun. I really liked the tasted of the smoked mayo on my burger. I also got a Broccoli Cheddar Soup on the side. Banded Peak Brewing is a popular beer made in Alberta that is named after a mountain in the Canadian Rockies. I grabbed their Amber Lager to pair with my dinner. There is a fun lively atmosphere here at Elk & Oarsman. I was only here for brief time, but enjoyed it. This is a solid place to check out if you like sports and good food.

Observed over serving drunk patrons. The bar owner decided he doesn't care because he owns other bars in Calgary. The owner is not local and let the staff do whatever they want because they do not come out to see what they are doing. Like the environment, its okay for a dive bar... do not like the staff and will NOT go into this establishment unless they get rid of the poor staffing. I would visit ANY location in Cochrane besides this place, there are WAY better options with lower pricing and staff that actually care and pay attention. Have seen their staff in altercations at other bars in Cochrane too, they think they own this town.
