St. James’s Gate - Banff, Alberta

We visited this place for lunch. The atmosphere was excellent, a very authentic British pub feel in the middle of downtown Banff. The service was also great. With multiple checks to see if we were doing fine and seeking feedback on our food. The food itself was a 4/5. The bangers & ... mash were pretty standard. The mash needed some extra seasoning (personal preference). The Chicken and Leek pie was excellent. But the salad that came with it tasted sub par and as if it were frozen. Read more

Foods were so tasty 😋 however, our sever put one more drink on our bill which we didn’t order. We found out after we paid. They only returned the menu price not including the tax and tips that we already paid…Always check the bill.

Absolutely worth a visit. Been trying to go back ever since we visited in 2021 when passing g through Banff. Amazing Food, Drinks, great Service and stellar Pub atmosphere.

The Irish pub provided a pleasant environment, with good food contributing to a positive experience. Despite being crowded, the atmosphere remained enjoyable, reflecting a lively and welcoming ambiance

Came here because we thought it would be relatively inexpensive and good pub food. Overall, the service wasn't the greatest. We waited a really long time for the waiter to come and put our drink orders in. The food prices were a bit high for pub style food. ($21 for ... lamb stew and it didn't come with anything, no bread, no side. Portion was very small too and they loaded it with potatoes... But the flavor was good). Guiness tasted a bit flat which was kind of disappointing as well. Food was overall ok but the place wasn't busy at all when we went for lunch and they were slacking in service. Read more
