This place was recommended for the pizza....which was great. The crust was thin and perfectly crispy. We were there on a Tuesday when they do margaritas for $6, and calzones for $12. Quite a sweet deal. We had pizza and it was great ( the "Bison" especially). Noisy and crowded but worth it. Fast service, friendly too!

The best pizza I’ve ever had in my life. This place is a must-visit. All the staff were friendly, and the food was absolutely delicious. I’ll definitely come back the next time I’m in Banff.

We lucked up on 50% pizza night and would happily pay full price. It was delicious - the chili and honey dipping oil was unique and yummy.

Two trips to Banff and two visits to Bear Street Tavern. First time was a random choice after required Covid test. We sought it out this time and took friends with us. Thanks to lady at Rocky Mountain Flannel ( awesome clothes), for her immediate recognition of our description of BST, and giving us directions. The pizzas here are creative and taste accordingly fantastic. Highly recommended. The beer is great too

Food is always amazing but the service is really what makes this a noteworthy experience. We always try to stop in when we’re in Banff. Make sure you make a reservation.
