The food is great, really tasty bar type meals but with that little extra something. Served really nicely. The hot wings are HOT!! but very tasty!! My dad was won over by the beer, we're form the UK and were in Banff for 5 nights, he found the Banff brewing co on our second night and went there every night... More

We sat here one afternoon in the sun on the patio overlooking Banff Ave. It was great! The aptio is fabulous and you can watch the street and have a great view of the mountains. The beer is even better!! The Cascadian Dark ale on special right now is delicious! You can most of the beers in bottles or growlers... More

We enjoyed this place, the fish and chips were great. I have read several reviews of service, but I have to say our service was fabulous! Though I did find that they were a bit expensive. And the restaurant itself was extremely hot, we could not cool off in there. My husband loved the beer, and said he wanted to... More

I don't have to elaborate - to bad the guy who owns the place can't find staff that matches the great beer he makes. Go for the beers and if you are lucky you might get someone who: 1- knows what service is 2- knows how to smile 3- cares about their job. I will not be back. Elk and... More

The service was good .Waiter checked on us several times to make sure we were okay. The food was so so . Had the bison ribs and found it quite salty. My daughter had the bison burger and found it bland. Drinks were good though. Lots of choice

Banff has no shortage of good places to eat and this is a nice addition. The menu is interesting, it is in a nice location with access to plenty of parking and it is definitely kid-friendly. We stopped here on our way through town on Super Bowl Sunday. It was not overly busy, so we were seated and served promptly.... More

I've eaten at the Banff Ave Brewing Co three times and always had a tough time deciding what to order - all the menu options are so tempting! My family and I shared the 6-beer sampler of the beers they brew on-site which I would recommend to anyone who likes beer. There wasn't any particular one that stood out to... More

The server we had seemed pissed off the whole time which kinda sucked ..... But maybe she was having a bad day..... All in all a awesome place... More

This is a nice place for a lazy afternoon. My husband and I had 1 free beer coupon each, needless to say we had more than that! We sat down on the comfy couch and did not leave until 3 beers and a couple of hours later! The beer was fabulous, the service was superb and the atmosphere was great!... More

Had a few pints here after a few hours of shopping in downtown Banff. Staff were incredibly knowledgeable about their beer! There is an awesome balcony overlooking the main street. Lots of locals (Auzzies) can be found having a pint of three! A great experience.
