Ireland knows its pubs, they are famous for their whisky, their Guinness and their lager. If you are looking for an authentic Irish pub in Banff, then St. James Olde Irish Pub is your best bet. The entire bar was essentially shipped over from Dublin, how’s that for authentic? Adorned with Irish woodwork and featuring all sorts of memorabilia, this pub makes you feel right at home from the second you step foot inside. With friendly staff and yummy comfort food, you may never want to leave.

Delight in their happy hour and enjoy discounted specials on their already reasonable prices. With apps perfect for sharing  and as-Irish-as-it-gets entrees like Steak and Guinness Pie and Irish Lamb Stew, you may have to change your last name to O’Fullbelly. Go hungry and leave happy.

Have you ever thought you’d just stop into the hotel lounge for a quick drink and then wound up spending the whole evening enjoying fabulous Italian food, feeling truly pampered by a superbly knowledgeable server (go, David!), and enjoying fabulous conversation with good friends while unwinding after a day in the mountains? If you answered ‘nope’ then you probably haven’t had the pleasure of a Ramsay Bar experience! 

Seriously, this place puts you under some kind of spell! If a day of powder isn’t enough to put you in a great mood, then savour a glass of Glenfiddich Single Malt Scotch, settle into a wingback chair, and allow yourself to be transported to your happy place. As the feeling returns to your toes after a day on the slopes, indulge yourself by nibbling on wild mushrooms and black truffle butter, or maybe share crispy calamari with your companion or enjoy fennel and sausage pizza made with buffalo mozzarella, san marzano tomato, pecorino romano, and roasted peppers.


And, yes - in case you are wondering, that is a legit mahogany bar!
