About The Bank And Baron Pub

The Bank and Baron Pub, in the heart of downtown Calgary, is a place where a Traditional Public Urban Bar taps into a historical avenue destination.

The Bank And Baron Pub Description

The Bank & Baron Pub, reclaimed within The Bank of Nova Scotia is recognized among one of Alberta's most historical structures located in the heart of Calgary's infamous Stephen Avenue since 1930. This lively and vibrant avenue we know it as today was named after George Stephen, the 1st Baron Mount Stephen. He was the financial genius behind the creation of the Canadian Pacific Railway, the President of the Bank of Montreal and is remembered as one of the greatest philanthropists of his time. In honor of the significant history Baron Mount Stephen imparted into the fostering of Calgary's culture (1930 - present), we have brewed The Bank & Baron P. U. B.
Crafting any event from a momentous occasion to an exquisite celebration can be effortlessly drafted.
With 26 rotating beers on tap, a variety of menu items, and a beautiful historical building, there is something for everyone at The Bank and Baron Pub.

We went there last night for my mom 50th and we had are own side room with our own bathroom in it and it was great the staff was friendly and drinks and the food was amazing and seeing the vault downstairs to was so cool my mom loved going there and so did I I will definitely be making the bank and baron one of my places to eat every time I come to Calgary

User

We went there for the first time a few weeks ago, we loved the atmosphere, food, service and location. On that first visit we saw the ad for Valentines super and decided to make a reservation. It was totally worth i t, great meal for a very reasonable price. We will be back for sure

User

Super impressed.. We are staying at the Fairmont just a st over and we went for a walk in hopes to find something for supper! We weren't not disappointed to take a seat here! Good beer, great staff & delicious food! Flavourful, hot, prompt and super filling. I couldn't ask for more. Also might I add, the bill wasn't overly steep either. Starter, two meals & 3 drinks would easily cost us more elsewhere. Love the atmosphere, comfortable and welcoming, very pub like feel, clean and appealing surroundings. Loved our experience, we aren't from Calgary, but I'm sure we will venture back someday!!

User

Not sure if we went to the same place as some of the one star reviews on here because we thought it was great. We were always looked after and with a smile. Good selection of beers and wines, something on offer almost everyday. Food was lovely, served hot, tasty and with a smile from the staff. Good atmosphere, friendly and in a great location.



So thank you, we felt properly looked after.



Would I recommend yes of course and would definitely return.

User

Not my first time there and won't be my last. A beautiful building, great service and when I was there, Wednesday, 5 buck pints and 25 cent wings. I highly recommend it.

User

Has a very great atmosphere to it. They have a great selection on food and drinks, the bartenders know there stuff when preparing your kind of drinks. The staff is friendly, and you get a great vibe while being there.

User

Amazing food and the service was excellent. Was staying at the Fairmont and wanted and cheaper than $40 a plate meals. I had the fish and chips. Let me tell you I'm from the east coast and was raised by a fishermens daughter so I'm pretty picky when it comes to fish. I was blown away from right from the portion size, to the flavour. Even the tartar sauce was amazing. The beer battered fries were a nice touch. Definitely have to check this place out ��

User

The Bank and Baron is a beautiful venue with something for everyone from a casual drink or appetizer to a full course dining experience. Food and drinks have always been good.... We've visited for large Birthday events and the staff was very accommodating to our fluctuating group dynamic as well bar and server staff have always been friendly and helpful when we stop in while in the downtown core.

User

I love the Bank and Baron! Been going there for almost two years and never had a problem. But was disappointed on St. Patrick's Day as I made a reservation a month in advance for 14 ppl and the weekend before I asked if I can increase it to 25 (more business!) and they said no problem. So I called to confirm last Wednesday and told the guy that not everyone is going to be right at 7pm but majority will and he said no problem! But then I get a call from them the next day to confirm and I said I already did and told this girl the same thing. She said no we have to have everyone there at 7 or else they would give away our tables. I said well that's not what the guy told me yesterday. She said he was wrong so I said fine I'll make sure so I did follow up with my friends to make sure they all got there at 7. I get to Bank and Baron the next day and found out they gave us a table for TWELVE people not 25. I asked to speak to the manager and this woman with red hair was a bit short and rude to me. Told me I said that I wouldn't have all my party there on time so they took away some of my tables. I was not happy..first of all they did not let me know that and second you can cut my tables by half assuming that only 12 would show up. I tried to explain this to her but she pretty much brushed it off telling me that people could stand right next to the table. So I had to tell one of my friends who was helping me set it up and he had to tell her we need the tables by 8pm.

I have been a fan of Bank and Baron up to last night. My friends and I still had a great time but still disapponted with how they handled this and how I quickly I was brushed off. I get it was a busy night but it could have been handled better.

User

Atmosphere was great, food was great, prices were little on the higher end. The only real issue was the rude greeting upon entering as we had a group of 8 and called ahead to inquire about a reservation which we were told was not necessary. The guy behind the bar told us the tables were reserved and asked if we were going to stay long, there was only 1 table occupied in the whole place. Other than that it was very good.

User

The place is really good, also the food and daily specials. The first time I went everything was enjoyable. However the last time i was there the waitress was rude, hurrying me up to take my order, drinks, she had a bad attitude. i cant even finished my meal and she was already asking if i wanted my bill, and going around just waiting to pick up the money. I felt uncomfortable and that really really bothered me.

User

I would not recommend this restaurant. It is a beautiful location but horrible service. We sat at a table for 10 minutes without anyone acknowledging us. So we moved to a table closer to the bar where we had to stop a server to get menus. When she brought us our drinks we went to order food and our server said to us "um well I only have two seconds". Our food came and we had to get up and retrieve our own utensils. We had to get up to get refills of our own waters and when finished our drink our server said to us "so you want your bills" when we tried to order a second drink. We brought up our concerns to our server Allie and she made excuses stating she had a busy birthday table beside us.

User

I visited The Bank and Baron Pub yesterday with my friends. We didn't know about the pub, however the lay out of the pub and sitting exterior sounded promiscuous to us.

First, it was hard to find any place to sitting! Because, there was no host at the entrance or anyone, whom you can ask where to sit? After waiting at least 10 mints we all decided to go and sit on the bar tables. Bar tender was helpful and knows his job well. We ordered beers and some wing.

After waiting few minutes, I finally saw the server and asked her, if there is any available table where we can sit and continue our rest of the evening? she replied me, for next 30 minutes or so it’s hard to get any table because of the customer’s reservations. I requested her, please let us know, if any table became available any time soon?

With the help of the bartender within 10 min we could get a table. After moving into the table, we waited for the server and she came after 30 minutes to check on us. We ordered another round of the beers and wings. Here we go again, we waited for our order to arrive   and it took long.

My friends were pissed with the service, however we all works in hospitality and we all know sometimes some unwanted situations. I ordered another beer for myself and I guess server forget my order and I waited almost 30 minutes, after losing my patience, I went myself to the bar counter and ordered my drink.



Over all great looking restaurant with lots of potential, however, management need to focus to improve their service time. Food and price was reasonable.

User

Definitely a beautiful pub and my drink was amazing but I have to say we got terrible service this afternoon.

My boyfriend and I sat at the bar and it took over 5 minutes for either of the Bartenders to greet us and when one of them did after exchanging pleasantries I ordered a my drink and he said "sounds good" and came back several minutes later asking if I wanted something to drink which I thought was odd as he acknowledged my order moments before. If the bar was busy I would understand if it had slipped the bartenders mind but it wasn't very busy at all, And when my boyfriend ordered his beer the bartender abruptly said "don't order that" and started walking towards other patrons when he could have said something more customer friendly along the lines of "unfortunately that particular tap isn't working right now, is there another beer that you would like?" As he was walking towards the other patrons I asked "why?" Then he poorly and rather rudely explained and gave recommendations not even slightly comparable to the beer he was initially interested in.

I would have paid for my drink and left immediately if boyfriend didn't order a snack when we were greeted.

I did not feel like a valued guest or customer in this establishment I felt more like a burden.

#BankAndBaron i came here to relax and try their food (rib) before going home after a long and tiring day... It took me 30 minutes and i have to do follow ups just to get my food and someone who works here told me that Fridays would took time before getting my food. Suddenly, the manager politely approached me and said that my order was lost at the kitchen and it was served not-so-hot-but-a-bit-cold-rib. The taste should be great if it was served hot and not too oily. I understand that Fridays are critical time for people who works here, but its not an excuse for you and keep your customers waiting for their food that was lost at their kitchen. They're sorry for what happened and I'm a bit surprised that the food was already paid. Thats a good intervention. As a conclusion, As a second-timer here, i must say that they're not consistent in service, I've tried different food here, their pizza during Thursdays was phenomenal, their wines are great! The managers action is just right, but, i dont think i would come back again next friday, maybe some other day but not definitely during fridays #thoughts #restaurant #yyc #calgary #foodservice

Your restaurant requires female servers to wear high heels. If you require a similarly uncomfortable wardrobe element for your male staff, or can convince me beyond a reasonable doubt that this is a choice of your female staff and not a requirement, I'll retract my review.

User

When you can't tell if you're being served by the bartender or the server you know you're going to have a bad time. The food was good but nobody asked us so obviously nobody cares. There's nothing worse than not knowing who your server is until they stand there awkwardly and silent while you pay at the end.

User

Second time I'd been there. Absolutely terrible service (both times), and it's not like the place was busy. People in our group had basically given up on our server and ordered straight from the bar, since our waitress was unfriendly and kept forgetting our drink orders. Definitely will not be returning.

User

Horrible place!!!!!! My family and I made a reservation here for 10 people on open table last night. We walked for a half hour to get here only to find out that they don't take kids at the restaurant. The waitress at the front, couldn't have been ruder!!! Do not go to this place!!!!! Their website, suggesting that they are a historical establishment full of history and culture with a fabulous restaurant facility, couldn't be further from the truth. The place looks dark and dodgy and the professionalism is inexcusable! Do not waste your time walking here!!!!!

Has a very great atmosphere to it. They have a great selection on food and drinks, the bartenders know there stuff when preparing your kind of drinks. The staff is friendly, and you get a great vibe while being there.

Amazing food and the service was excellent. Was staying at the Fairmont and wanted and cheaper than $40 a plate meals. I had the fish and chips. Let me tell you I'm from the east coast and was raised by a fishermens daughter so I'm pretty picky when it comes to fish. I was blown away from right from the portion size, to the flavour. Even the tartar sauce was amazing. The beer battered fries were a nice touch. Definitely have to check this place out ��

The Bank and Baron is a beautiful venue with something for everyone from a casual drink or appetizer to a full course dining experience. Food and drinks have always been good.... We've visited for large Birthday events and the staff was very accommodating to our fluctuating group dynamic as well bar and server staff have always been friendly and helpful when we stop in while in the downtown core.

I love the Bank and Baron! Been going there for almost two years and never had a problem. But was disappointed on St. Patrick's Day as I made a reservation a month in advance for 14 ppl and the weekend before I asked if I can increase it to 25 (more business!) and they said no problem. So I called to confirm last Wednesday and told the guy that not everyone is going to be right at 7pm but majority will and he said no problem! But then I get a call from them the next day to confirm and I said I already did and told this girl the same thing. She said no we have to have everyone there at 7 or else they would give away our tables. I said well that's not what the guy told me yesterday. She said he was wrong so I said fine I'll make sure so I did follow up with my friends to make sure they all got there at 7. I get to Bank and Baron the next day and found out they gave us a table for TWELVE people not 25. I asked to speak to the manager and this woman with red hair was a bit short and rude to me. Told me I said that I wouldn't have all my party there on time so they took away some of my tables. I was not happy..first of all they did not let me know that and second you can cut my tables by half assuming that only 12 would show up. I tried to explain this to her but she pretty much brushed it off telling me that people could stand right next to the table. So I had to tell one of my friends who was helping me set it up and he had to tell her we need the tables by 8pm.

I have been a fan of Bank and Baron up to last night. My friends and I still had a great time but still disapponted with how they handled this and how I quickly I was brushed off. I get it was a busy night but it could have been handled better.

Atmosphere was great, food was great, prices were little on the higher end. The only real issue was the rude greeting upon entering as we had a group of 8 and called ahead to inquire about a reservation which we were told was not necessary. The guy behind the bar told us the tables were reserved and asked if we were going to stay long, there was only 1 table occupied in the whole place. Other than that it was very good.

User

The place is really good, also the food and daily specials. The first time I went everything was enjoyable. However the last time i was there the waitress was rude, hurrying me up to take my order, drinks, she had a bad attitude. i cant even finished my meal and she was already asking if i wanted my bill, and going around just waiting to pick up the money. I felt uncomfortable and that really really bothered me.

User

I would not recommend this restaurant. It is a beautiful location but horrible service. We sat at a table for 10 minutes without anyone acknowledging us. So we moved to a table closer to the bar where we had to stop a server to get menus. When she brought us our drinks we went to order food and our server said to us "um well I only have two seconds". Our food came and we had to get up and retrieve our own utensils. We had to get up to get refills of our own waters and when finished our drink our server said to us "so you want your bills" when we tried to order a second drink. We brought up our concerns to our server Allie and she made excuses stating she had a busy birthday table beside us.

I visited The Bank and Baron Pub yesterday with my friends. We didn't know about the pub, however the lay out of the pub and sitting exterior sounded promiscuous to us.

First, it was hard to find any place to sitting! Because, there was no host at the entrance or anyone, whom you can ask where to sit? After waiting at least 10 mints we all decided to go and sit on the bar tables. Bar tender was helpful and knows his job well. We ordered beers and some wing.

After waiting few minutes, I finally saw the server and asked her, if there is any available table where we can sit and continue our rest of the evening? she replied me, for next 30 minutes or so it’s hard to get any table because of the customer’s reservations. I requested her, please let us know, if any table became available any time soon?

With the help of the bartender within 10 min we could get a table. After moving into the table, we waited for the server and she came after 30 minutes to check on us. We ordered another round of the beers and wings. Here we go again, we waited for our order to arrive   and it took long.

My friends were pissed with the service, however we all works in hospitality and we all know sometimes some unwanted situations. I ordered another beer for myself and I guess server forget my order and I waited almost 30 minutes, after losing my patience, I went myself to the bar counter and ordered my drink.



Over all great looking restaurant with lots of potential, however, management need to focus to improve their service time. Food and price was reasonable.

User

Definitely a beautiful pub and my drink was amazing but I have to say we got terrible service this afternoon.

My boyfriend and I sat at the bar and it took over 5 minutes for either of the Bartenders to greet us and when one of them did after exchanging pleasantries I ordered a my drink and he said "sounds good" and came back several minutes later asking if I wanted something to drink which I thought was odd as he acknowledged my order moments before. If the bar was busy I would understand if it had slipped the bartenders mind but it wasn't very busy at all, And when my boyfriend ordered his beer the bartender abruptly said "don't order that" and started walking towards other patrons when he could have said something more customer friendly along the lines of "unfortunately that particular tap isn't working right now, is there another beer that you would like?" As he was walking towards the other patrons I asked "why?" Then he poorly and rather rudely explained and gave recommendations not even slightly comparable to the beer he was initially interested in.

I would have paid for my drink and left immediately if boyfriend didn't order a snack when we were greeted.

I did not feel like a valued guest or customer in this establishment I felt more like a burden.

#BankAndBaron i came here to relax and try their food (rib) before going home after a long and tiring day... It took me 30 minutes and i have to do follow ups just to get my food and someone who works here told me that Fridays would took time before getting my food. Suddenly, the manager politely approached me and said that my order was lost at the kitchen and it was served not-so-hot-but-a-bit-cold-rib. The taste should be great if it was served hot and not too oily. I understand that Fridays are critical time for people who works here, but its not an excuse for you and keep your customers waiting for their food that was lost at their kitchen. They're sorry for what happened and I'm a bit surprised that the food was already paid. Thats a good intervention. As a conclusion, As a second-timer here, i must say that they're not consistent in service, I've tried different food here, their pizza during Thursdays was phenomenal, their wines are great! The managers action is just right, but, i dont think i would come back again next friday, maybe some other day but not definitely during fridays #thoughts #restaurant #yyc #calgary #foodservice

Your restaurant requires female servers to wear high heels. If you require a similarly uncomfortable wardrobe element for your male staff, or can convince me beyond a reasonable doubt that this is a choice of your female staff and not a requirement, I'll retract my review.

User

When you can't tell if you're being served by the bartender or the server you know you're going to have a bad time. The food was good but nobody asked us so obviously nobody cares. There's nothing worse than not knowing who your server is until they stand there awkwardly and silent while you pay at the end.

User

Second time I'd been there. Absolutely terrible service (both times), and it's not like the place was busy. People in our group had basically given up on our server and ordered straight from the bar, since our waitress was unfriendly and kept forgetting our drink orders. Definitely will not be returning.

User

Horrible place!!!!!! My family and I made a reservation here for 10 people on open table last night. We walked for a half hour to get here only to find out that they don't take kids at the restaurant. The waitress at the front, couldn't have been ruder!!! Do not go to this place!!!!! Their website, suggesting that they are a historical establishment full of history and culture with a fabulous restaurant facility, couldn't be further from the truth. The place looks dark and dodgy and the professionalism is inexcusable! Do not waste your time walking here!!!!!

User

We went there last night for my mom 50th and we had are own side room with our own bathroom in it and it was great the staff was friendly and drinks and the food was amazing and seeing the vault downstairs to was so cool my mom loved going there and so did I I will definitely be making the bank and baron one of my places to eat every time I come to Calgary

User

We went there for the first time a few weeks ago, we loved the atmosphere, food, service and location. On that first visit we saw the ad for Valentines super and decided to make a reservation. It was totally worth i t, great meal for a very reasonable price. We will be back for sure

User

Super impressed.. We are staying at the Fairmont just a st over and we went for a walk in hopes to find something for supper! We weren't not disappointed to take a seat here! Good beer, great staff & delicious food! Flavourful, hot, prompt and super filling. I couldn't ask for more. Also might I add, the bill wasn't overly steep either. Starter, two meals & 3 drinks would easily cost us more elsewhere. Love the atmosphere, comfortable and welcoming, very pub like feel, clean and appealing surroundings. Loved our experience, we aren't from Calgary, but I'm sure we will venture back someday!!

User

Not sure if we went to the same place as some of the one star reviews on here because we thought it was great. We were always looked after and with a smile. Good selection of beers and wines, something on offer almost everyday. Food was lovely, served hot, tasty and with a smile from the staff. Good atmosphere, friendly and in a great location.



So thank you, we felt properly looked after.



Would I recommend yes of course and would definitely return.
