    Three bears atmosphere was very modern and airy. I love the high ceilings and the whole ambiance was stunning. The food was quite amazing. The cheesy waffle fries are the best thing I have tried in a long time. I think everyone should try them. I had the fish and chips and my boyfriend had the Pepperoni and Chili Crisp. Portions are large and all of the food was so good. Drinks were also great and our bartender was AMAZING!! Three Bears is definitely a new favourite of ours.

    The food here is so good! And the staff is extremely kind. We got the burger with Mac and cheese and a side of fries and side salad. We did have to wait 20 mins to get in and another 20 for our food to come, but it was worth the wait. The waiters really room the time to help us with finding new trails to hike too! I definitely recommend coming here.

    My two sisters and I visited today and had an amazing time. Our server was so sweet and attentive, the food was delicious and presented beautifully, the beer was great, the patio and view were gorgeous. No complaints at all! I highly recommend checking this place out next time you're in Banff. We were there just before they opened and didn't have an issue getting a spot on the patio, but it definitely filled up quickly.

    We LOVED it. The red velvet sour was delicious. We loved our burger and margarita pizza. The environment was so fun. Our server was the sweetest. Highly recommend if you're in Banff! You'll love it.

    The salmon and steak dishes were incredible. Drinks were great too, had Gin instead if beer. Mac and Cheese was a tad bland though. Service was speedy and kind. Great ambiance. Would recommend to others for sure. Cost about $200 for 5 entrees, 1 appetizer and two drinks.

    Very, very great servers!! Ordered steak and shrimp - they were able to put breaded shrimp with the meal so great. Loved the colourful parsnips and heirloom carrots. My vegan pizza took much longer and held up the steaks so they brought out the steaks and a bit later brought out the pizza. Our server communicated this so well and apologized and even gave 20% off for the trouble it was no big deal. The vegan cheese did not taste like normal vegan cheese so it was good! Beers were great! Overall fabulous time - would recommend!

    Husband and I had dinner here and give it an overall of 5 out of 10. Atmosphere is lovely. Well heated patio. Lovely servers. Food was mediocre. We actually came for the fish and chips only to find out they only serve it until 5pm which is odd. But oh well made other orders which were fine but not amazing. Husband did the flight of 6 house beer tasters, he is a beer snob and liked 3 of them, 2 were so so and 1 he tasted and walked away from. I had one of the cocktails which was delicious but insanely priced at $16.50 for 12 oz of drink. Husband had the waffle fries which were yummy but not special. I had the shrimp bao buns which had amazing potential but lacked flavour. We shared the pepperoni pizza which had awesome dough but was very greasy. Didn’t bother with dessert. Overall a little disappointing.

    I'm gonna start by saying that their Bison Ribs were probably one the best things I've ever tasted in my entire life. It was mouth-watering and so scrumptiously delicious that we ordered more to go! If you come here to eat, the bison is a must try! Hats off to the chef! We also got the pepperoni pizza, the three bear burger, the shrimp bao, and tuna poke bowl and all were delicious but those bison ribs were just on another planet! Our server was amazing! We don't remember his name but he had a british accent and that man needs a raise. The drinks were also good. I would highly suggest the Cucumber Gin Smash, the flight was really good and the cider was delicious.

    Absolutely incredible local eatery. We had high hopes for dining here, and they were exceeded. We were able to get an absolute ton of food, and it was all high quality and came out quickly. The service was quick and excellent, it seems like they have it well-staffed, so no wait staff is overstretched and able to check in regularly but not over frequently. It's not a crazy big menu, but they do everything very well. I knew the minute I saw the big pizza oven, we were in for a treat. The wings were crispy and delicious, the pizza had a beautiful crust and great flavor. The mac and cheese was delicious, not quite cheesy enough but a good flavor and the elk sausage added a nice bite. The burger was delicious and had a great amount of waffle fries (because who skimps out on potatoes on their menu items?), and the desserts were to die for. The lemon meringue was refreshing, super boujie, and totally worth it. The ambiance is exactly what you'd expect for a modern brewery that also does food, and it was really nice and bright with beautiful views and a nice wood dining area.

    Great place!Good food, good ambiance good location. Went for Happy Hour. Good cocktails. Sat on the dog friendly outdoor patio at the fire pit on the pedestrian walkway. Friendly people. Upper level has beautiful stargazing glass ceiling that opens during good weather. Indoor bar/ main level great ambiance. No complaints. Recommend! Very short walk from the free train station parking lot.

    Food was really good. The pizzas were great and the shrimp donut was surprising. The elk sausage pizza was delicious. Definitely recommend people try this place out if you’re in Banff. Service was fantastic and would definitely come back.

    The atmosphere is so beautiful and our server was so nice and friendly 😍 There was a girl sang there with her guitar who was perfect. 🩷 I ordered cheese waffle fries which was not good it had too much cheese on it which made the fries mushy! The beers 🍻 were delicious 🤤

    This place is very popular so try to book a reservation in advance if you can! Such a nice vibe and staff here are nice as well. Definitely a good place for a date or a birthday dinner. I love the variety in food options here, but I will say some of the appetizers are not worth the price. It’s better to get full off the main dishes. Would definitely come again!

    We’ve been in Banff for a week. The places that we’ve gone to eat have been tremendous. We had already done a hike in Kenmore today and wanted to return to Banff because of previous restaurants we ate at. The service did not disappoint. The atmosphere was wonderful we happen to get here during happy hour which was a bonus. I want to let you know that a Shandy is not a pet name for a Chardonnay. It is wine and beer mixed together in a 16 ounce glass. Hugo our server graciously returned the Shandy’s and brought us the white wine Chardonnay that we were looking for.

    Came for the beers and left with a t-shirt. This relatively new brewary has all a beer drinker can ask for. Excellent beer and food, extremely friendly servers. Most every table surrounding us had pizza, so we had to try the Mean Mr. Mushroom. It was very flavorful and the dough was crispy and puffy. The bison ribs were falling off the bone good. Remember to grab their witty t-shirts!

    Three Bears blew us away with their amazing food, service and restaurant decor. I can confidently say that every aspect of the restaurant experience was perfect. We ordered the Nashville burger, smash burger, cheezy fries and a flight of beers. The food came quickly, and exceeded our expectations. Highly recommended for quality food at Banff!

    Came here twice because the first time was so wonderful! The pizzas are delicious, the signature Three Bear salad is hearty, the fish+chips were crispy and light, the beer flights are well presented, and the ambiance is cozy and trendy. 🍕🥗🍻 Generous portions and friendly staff, definitely stop in even if there’s a bit of a wait!

    My experience here was awesome!! I loved the food it was super tasty & delicious! We got the wings, waffle fries, mac & cheese, & cauliflower. It arrived pretty quick as well as our drinks. Service was top notch. Zoey was our waitress & she went above & beyond & provided the best service. Conor greeted us with a smile & was friendly & helpful with any questions we had. Love the atmosphere! I would recommend this place to anyone! We’ll definitely be coming back here to try other dishes!

    This was a great and worthwhile experience. We came right after there was a race, but the wait was short and whatever was ordered, came out extremely fast. I would highly recommend the upstairs if you had the chance, the open rooftop felt great mid afternoon. The bar staff was super friendly, and very knowledgeable on the beers that they had on tap. We almost didn’t go in because of the front door wait, but very happy we waited it out and went in. Would highly recommend to anyone!

    Phenomenal! Our server was so attentive even with lots of tables to attend to. The crab & shrimp donut was so delicious, I wish I ordered two! Drinks & good were amazing. Will definitely come back when we're back in town.
