The Bear Street Tavern

Super friendly staff and great atmosphere! The menu is incredible, with vast and unique options.

Great place to go hang out. Good food and fantastic service.

The chairs are not very comfortable, the restaurant feels cramped and the bathrooms aren't the cleanest. But that food, though! Absolutely worth 5 stars for the food and service. The pizza is the best I've had the opportunity to try. Highly recommend if you happen to be in the Banff area; even worth the drive!

Nice little cozy tavern, great thin crust pizza, great atmosphere, and good selection of craft beer. They have this rosemary infused chili oil and honey sauce that you can dip the pizza in.

Would totally come back here again soon.

Love this place. The Hawaiian pizza with pulled pork is amazing, the atmosphere is great, and the honey/chili oil is unique. There's never a long wait, which is refreshing given the difficulty in getting into any restaurant in Banff without a reservation.

I don't really want to be too negative, but this wasn't my place. The pizza was an odd combination of very basic (almost resembling cheap frozen pizza) with some odd or oddly combined ingredients and toppings. I just don't think the pizza was executed well -- but many around us seemed to LOVE the place and I can be picky about my pizza. The service was great and the atmosphere was lively.

Mediocre over priced pizza. Wasn't horrible, wasn't anywhere near great. Hostess wasn't friendly. Our server was awesome but that's the best I can say about it. Wouldn't bother going again.

First time at this establishment and it was a fantastic experience for our family. They have high chairs and booster seats. This was good for us because of little girl needs either depending on seating. The Kids menu has a good selection, and tastes great too. The noodles were a big hit with my little girl, boy ( he actually got a pizza but ate noodles until it was cool ) and mom. We had the chefs daily pizza, and it was outstanding. Chorizo, bell peppers, and goat cheese. It was very good and not too heavy. They had a small draft menu but quite an extensive bottle/can beer menu. The staff were friendly and provided great service. We will definitely repeat.

Great pizzas! We got the Big Bird ( chicken, feta, onions, pesto, bacon) and the Pull Pork Nachos is a MUST.
We also tried their Ice Tea punch bowl which was strong and very sweet.
Definitively a hip place in Banff and a must when you come for a visit.
However, their mac and cheese however is a let down and their mushroom pizza was ok...

I dipped pizza in honey and olive oil today. It felt so wrong but tasted so right. Recommended by some foreign girl. Lithuanian, I think.

The deep dish pizzas are amazing! Everyone loves the honey and chilli oil on the tables. I moved away from the area two years ago and still dream of them. One of my favourite restaurants in Banff. There's often a wait for tables during busy times, but they will text you when a table is ready.

Thanks to Daniel S's review 2 months ago, My girlfriend and I stopped by this place for a bite to take out. The Godfather is incredible (writing this review as we're eating this piece of art right now). Phenomenal. SO GOOD. Like "I'm inspired to start a food blog" type good. And the fellow working recommended us dips to try with it, which turned out better than the ranch we usually are used to getting. Thank heavens for this place.
