Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

Cozy little spot with nice cocktails/mocktails and EXCELLENT deep fried cheese. We ordered entrees too, but it was the cheese that was the standout! So good. I let them know I was GF and they were up front about what could and couldn't be changed,...which I always appreciate. The waitress was super friendly and was totally fine with us hanging out and having a leisurely late lunch/early dinner; even when it was time for actual dinner, she didn't rush us out.More

We had steak and muscles. They were beautiful! Gorgeous meal but there wasn't enough food to fill my husband or myself. A potato or something with the meal would have helped.

This was a fun restaurant with decent food, great cocktails and a wonderful staff. We each tried different cocktails/beers and all were creatively prepared and tasty. It was late when we arrived and we were all starving. The food came quickly and we were reseated...once a table under the heat lamps opened up which was an added bonus. If you like the taste of lemongrass, I recommend the Thai One On cocktail.More

We ended up coming back here both nights we stayed in Canmore as the staff, ambience, drinks and food were so good. We shared 6 plates between 4 and every one was fantastic with great portion sizes as well as taste. The cocktails were fantastic...as was the music. The short rib pasta and caprese salad were the highlights Would definitely recommend.More

Best restaurant in Canmore. Literally drove from Calgary to dine there, because we simply know the food, service and ambiance is tasteful, simple and just excellent every time!

Had a fun evening with a few craft drinks here. The hostess (Can't remember her name. She is pretty with black, curly hair and an Australian accent) did a great job making us feel welcome. She served us some very fun drinks and we had...a great time. Wish we would've eaten dinner there!More

Best cocktails in Canmore by far. We stopped in on a local recommendation for a quick cocktail, stayed for 2 and visited as often as we could during our week stay. Each one was well balanced and prepared with care. We ate dinner one night...and the food matched the drinks. A definite foodie destination… just be aware that minors are only welcome before 6pmMore

Unique cocktails, craft brews and dishes meant to be shared. We had excellent service here and well presented flavorful food. There are so many cocktails to choose from! I had a Thai One On and Misty Mountain Hop. Both were yummy and very different. Our...dishes were the Drunken Calamari, Burrata and Short Rib pasta. You can’t seem to go wrong here!More

The food and atmosphere was fantastic. A total Foodies dream with a wide selection of quality cocktails. Also was very impressed with their deep Amaro collection. This is a hidden gem in Canmore that shouldn't be missed. Prices are super reasonable compared to everything we...experienced in Banff. Dog friendly patio as well!More

We spent a week in Canmore and had previously been at this bar. They have a very interesting drink list with many unique cocktails. It was very cold outside, so the hot apple cider was very welcome. The midnight cowboy was also excellent although potent!...The potato salad dish, as well as the pork tacos are tasty bar fare. Not fancy, but great for two to share. Manager Samantha was very friendly and we chatted quite a bit during our multiple visits. This place won't be to everyone's taste, but for something different and very enjoyable in Canmore give it a try. Should also mention they have gluten free dishes which my partner and I need due to intolerance!More

This was our favourite restaurant in Canmore. The menu was limited (foodies will know that this is a good sign) but all of the dishes we ordered were very well balanced and flavourful. Our personal favourite was the duck wings. I highly recommend this restaurant...for anyone who’s looking for a good quality meal in a lowkey restaurant. The staff was among the friendliest we’ve had all week and gave us great local tips.More

Can't say enough about this place. Over our 10 day holiday we went in 6 times, 2 of those for food. Service was friendly and attentive, the food was great, first time we had a selection of the small bites to try, all very good,...especially the chorizo and figs. Not traditional Spanish chorizo but lovely nevertheless. We also tried the burger which was fantastic. The cocktails selection is not massive but varied enough and all very nice. It's not fine dining but there is a great atmosphere and the toilets were very clean!More

We wondered in this tiny place to have a cocktail. We ended up staying for dinner as well. The drinks were top notch, the service quick and friendly. Our dinner was amazing. By the time we left the place was full. Highly recommend.
