The Grizzly Paw
Busy mountain brewpub (l,d; $$)
Considering it’s such a winning formula, it’s amazing, that this is the one of only two brewpubs in the Canadian Rockies (the other's in Jasper).
And sure enough, the place is heaving every night; locals and visitors alike love the pub-grub (great & imaginative burgers) and smart sportsbar atmosphere.
The beers are exceptional too: the Grumpy Bear honey wheat ale is really refreshing after an active day outdoors; while the exceedingly smooth dark Rutting Elk ale is good at just about anytime (…except perhaps before breakfast!).
622 Main St, Canmore Alberta
Sunday to Thursday 11 am to 11 pm; Friday to Saturday, 11 am to midnight; kid friendly to 10 pm
