Three Bears Brewery and Restaurant

If you’re looking to sip some brews on your trip, you won’t want to miss Banff’s newest brewery. Three Bears Brewery’s atmosphere features a great outdoors theme with cozy seating and a retractable glass roof for stargazing. 

You don’t want to miss trying one of their pizzas – the dough is made using a process known as “reverse ice water ferment” and takes 72 hours to make!

Take an 8-minute gondola ride up to the top of Sulphur Mountain and try Sky Bistro. Voted the #1 restaurant in Banff, this is the perfect date night dinner destination.

The Eddie Burger + Bar

If we had one word to describe The Eddie Burger + Bar it would be ‘steez’. It has an atmosphere of its own that everyone has to experience once in their lifetime. As the name suggests, they have a range of mouthwatering burgers, poutine, and wings to choose from. Bring the kids for a milkshake (like the ones you only see in the movies), enjoy good grub, watch the game, and have a great time!
