    My friend and I stopped at this cocktail bar for a nightcap before heading back to the hotel. Where The Buffalo Roam Saloon is conveniently located on the Main Street of Canmore with plenty of street parking. The interior definitely had a country flair. The bartenders were friendly and highly recommended the tea pot vodka, which I ordered. It was delicious, sweet, and tasted of honey vanilla, lemon, and lavender. All the ingredients came together beautifully into a memorable cocktail.

    Got the street corn dip and burger. The burger was one of the best burgers we've ever had. Everything on the menu also looked really good. Service was fast and outdoor dinner was nice on a summer day. Didnt have enough time to come back but would definitely recommend going here

    This place is stunning! The holiday decor is gorgeous but mostly I need you to know the FLAVORS are amazing! We had the lime zest popcorn, the fries, the dragon bowl, a salad, the holiday deviled eggs, and the halloumi chorizo bites and a round of shafts made our meal! Everything had a layer of flavor and it was totally worth it for we four foodies. Do not walk past this place!

    Looking back, I feel like a 9/10 rating deserves a full 5 stars on Yelp. That is all.

    Street parking or lot parking near by On Sunday stop by while brunch was served. I ordered the crepe creme brulee and a latte- so good The service style was so cute all tea style - loved it Staff was friendly-

    Decided to stop by after walking around the area to grab some dinner and got lucky for a table outdoors without reservations. The indoor space looked really cute but I was open to just getting a spot to try their menu after reading some reviews. The outdoor space was actually really nice as it was covered and a nice breeze! As for food I tried the fried cheese, nicoise salad, and short rib pasta. You can't go wrong wit the deep fried cheese and the marina sauce was tasty. The salad was also savory and was a lighter option to the entire meal. Lastly, the short rib pasta to end the meal and it did not disappoint. I was a little worried since I am not the biggest fan of horseradish but it worked well with the flavors and was rich without being too heavy. They also have a nice assortment of cocktails to try to pair well with your meal.

    Sorry forgot to take this before we dove in! Wagyy burger grilled Caesar

    Amazing food, great ambience and fantastic service - trifecta! The place was recommended to us by a shock we met in Banff - he was spot on! We shared the waygu burger and a grilled romaine salad Enjoy!

    Came here for a drink while in town. 90% full Saturday night. Lots of fun expensive cocktails! I tried the Strange Magic: 7/10. Very strong alcohol taste. Small portion. About what you would expect for a tourist town and a nice cocktail. $16. Brother tried the Hot Apple Cider. It tasted as expected if you like apple cider. Staff were kind enough not to push food but also check in on us regularly.

    This spot is amazing! It's cozy, moody and feels welcoming the second you walk in the door. It's small, so plan ahead and/or get there early. I had an old fashioned with the steak frites. I've been thinking about the steak and the sauce since I left. Wow. What a special spot in Canmore! Check it out.

    Our first stop in downtown Canmore. Stunning views 360°. We ate outside and then did also go inside at the bar and loved the decor and the fun 80s music! Serious vibes, and delicious cocktails appetizers, and meal. Everyone was extremely friendly and hard-working. I would absolutely recommend this establishment to anyone looking for good drinks and food! it was casual and perfect way to ease into my trip to Canmore/Banff.

    Short rib pasta
    Joyce I.

    This restaurant was recommended to us by a friend. There were no reservations available and we waited around 45 minutes to be seated. It was ok since we could walk around the town, but if we were short on time, dinner here definitely wouldn't have worked out. The meal started out on a high with the hummus dish and chimichurri potato dish. We loved both so much since the flavors were unique and were surprisingly very good. The short rib pasta and steak frites were ok, nothing to rave about. I was a little disappointed since they were the main dishes and people had good reviews. The most disappointing was the calamari. As an appetizer, we were confused about why it came out last and quite a while after everything else had been served. I didn't enjoy the strong curry flavor in the breading of the calamari. Overall I was really excited in the beginning. I think some of their dishes have a lot of potential, but felt like I was let down throughout the meal. I would still recommend people to come check it out, but would suggest coming early to avoid dinner rush!

    So good we came here twice during our trip. This is by far the best food and drinks we had while in Canmore. I tried 4 different cocktails + my friends tried different ones and all were great. My fave was The Night Owl, which is their take on the espresso martini. So so good. Food was also delish - we tried 8 or so different dishes (served tapas style). The duck wings were probably my fave. My friends really liked the calamari. Service was friendly and it has a very homey vibe. This is a must in Canmore if you like good cocktails and food, with a casual (but more upscale than some of the other spots in Canmore) vibe.
