We welcome you to The Bank & Baron, reclaimed within The Bank of Nova Scotia building, which is recognized among one of Alberta's most historical. This grand space has been unlocked and a new downtown landmark awaits you.

The Bank and Baron is located in the heart of Calgary's infamous Stephen Avenue, the pulse of downtown. This avenue was named after George Stephen, 1st Baron Mount Stephen. He was the financial genius behind the creation of the Canadian Pacific Railway, the President of the Bank of Montreal and is remembered as one of the greatest philanthropists of his time. In honor of the significant history Baron Mount Stephen imparted into the fostering of Calgary's culture , we have brewed The Bank & Baron P.U.B.

The Bank & Baron is a place where a Traditional Public Urban Bar taps into a historical avenue destination. Crafting any event from a momentous occasion to an exquisite celebration can be effortlessly drafted.

    My wife Dale and I had a wonderful meal at the Bank and Baron. Great atmosphere and the service was exceptional. We will definitely go back there again and tell our friends about experience.

    Unexpectedly bad. We were hoping for basic pub food and drinks, nothing crazy, but it was pretty poor. The drinks were gross. Sour beer, terrible cocktails. My husband’s burger was under cooked. The onion dip was gross. My flatbread was sour with way too much balsamic vinegar. Would not recommend.

    Food was really good. I’m not sure if they were understaffed or what but my friend and I stood at the door waiting to check in for a good 5 minutes. No one ever did greet us at the door and we went to go find a server but saw the rest of our party already seated. Service was slow but friendly.

    Royal with cheese is fantastic, one of the best burgers in town. Steak bites were top shelf too.

    I love this restaurant bar. The room is pretty magnificent. The food is quite good. Great Happy Hour. Perfect Grey Goose martini! The service is sadly lacking. Not welcoming and zero attention. Fix that and we will be back.
