Rose and Crown Banff, Banff

This vast and comfortable Irish Pub is a perfect spot for a mountain pint. Take a seat in front of the fireplace on cold days, or on the large second-floor patio on sunny ones. There is live music nightly and a games room with pool tables and video games. Like its sister bar in Calgary, the Rose serves up great pub food such as steak sandwiches, shepherd's pie and tasty burgers. But beer is the big draw here, and there is a wide selection of domestic and import brews.
