You're on vacation... splurge and get that cocktail you would not otherwise order at home or with work colleagues. Well crafted and our bartender executed it perfectly! In fact, it was a little dangerous as you could not taste the alcohol and I could have easily consumed 2 without knowing better.... alas... I limited myself top just 1. It's near the The Wood restaurant... just look for the stairs that lead DOWN.

The speakeasy has a very cool vibe. A few of us enjoyed the interesting cocktail menu- drinks were delicious. Two of us at the table had the vegan dinner, which was phenomenal. A carnivore friend was actually jealous in comparison. Each course was so interesting and different. Many compliments to the chef, and gratitude for being so inclusive. This was a memory I'll cherish.

The corn elote is super savory and creamy and vegan... again...they are doing some magic here. The Butter Baked Scallops were a big hit! Talk about unctuous and sinful. The scallops were succulent and tender! You just can't go wrong with Butter and Scallops. Service is on point. We wanted for nothing! Our water bottle was kept full and several folks checked on us not just our server. All of them were friendly and genuine. This establishment is pretty small inside... About 10 tables plus the bar area which I think sits 8. Definitely make a reservation!

If you're wondering what the vibe is like based off pictures, I can validate that the bar/restaurant atmosphere leans upscale. I came for the food and drink and after one glance at the menu, the prospects were promising. Arriving as a walk-in, I ended up sitting at the bar and ordered 2 appetizers. I had their Elk Carpaccio and Roasted Brussel sprouts. Both were delicious however between the two, the Elk was my favorite. Their cocktail menu was pretty good too. I ended up getting the Alpenglow Sour and it was refreshingly delicious! The service was good. Food and drink were paced just right and it didn't feel rushed. I didn't see a parking lot however there's plenty of parking along the side streets. Bridgette Bar is a solid choice if you're looking for a good meal/drink in a chill environment.

We ordered to share: Bison carpaccio: 8/10, the large pieces of black salt(?) was overwhelming the bison, but otherwise very unique and worth trying Burrata salad: 100/10, super refreshing and unique palate of thinly ribboned squash covered with tarragon vinaigrette and burrata. Smoked trout doughnut: 8/10, interesting combination of sweet (donut, lemon glaze) and savory (smoked trout, herbed Crème Fraîche, everything bagel seasoning, pickled shallot) Individually: Strip sirloin: I didn't have this one but 10/10 for work of art presentation. Huge piece of steak though. Roasted chicken: 9/10 myself and one other got the chicken. Tender and well seasoned with sweet and spicy harissa honey glaze and chili crisps. It looked like they gave half a whole chicken to her and the other half to me, huge portions. Probably could've been 3 meals. Peyto's ribs: 9/10 had to get it for the touch of maple paprika. Seared ling cod: 9/10 it's the only portion that remotely made sense for a single person and didn't end with leftovers. The dimly lit atmosphere at Brazen is perfect to unwind in after a long day of hiking and exploring. The portions are generous and flavor profile recommendations between appetizers, mains, and drinks well explored. Highly recommend making an advance reservation to try!

Great ambience, lovely and (VERY) attentive services. 3 people checked on us to see if anyone is already helping or if we need anything. 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!

However, the people next to us ordered various cuts of steak and those looked unbelievable!
