Where’s the party? At the Beaver Bar in the Samesun Banff Hostel, of course! And, oh - what a party! Fuelled by AGWA Bombs (made with a feisty cocoa-leaf liqueur from Bolivia) you’ll soon be shouting out your trivia answers or serenading the room on karaoke nights! Beer pong? Hell, yeah! Hungry? Chow down on pub tasties like waffle fry poutine or a Beaver Burger (or hearty veggie options if you aren’t into burgers.) Dinner specials every night - and the always-fun Beaver Shot Wheel to mix things up at the bar. (No idea what I’m talking about? Come on in and take a spin yourself).
Cheap drinks, super-friendly staff, special events every night - the Beaver Bar is Banff’s best place to hang out after dark with a bunch of friends - those you arrived with and the new ones you’ll make.

There’s just something about fire. The way it cooks our food, the way it warms us up, it is truly fascinating. We have fire to thank for Park Distillery and all of their creations. They believe the campfire is the original restaurant and all of their tasty wood-fired and smoky delicious meals incorporate these beloved tastes. Sample and delight in their mesquite beef hoagie or their rotisserie chicken swich and know it was made with fiery love.
To add to all the smoky fun, Park distills their own alcohol. Talk about a fresh drink, you will never taste anything like their homemade vodka which originates from six glaciers high in the Rocky Mountains. Smoky tasty treats and fresh spirits? Park Distillery is unlike any other.
