De'd Dog Bar & Grill

Overview

About De'd Dog Bar & Grill

De'd Dog is Jasper’s classic post-adventure pub: the place folks wander into after a day on the trail or river to swap stories over pints and hearty plates. It lives inside the Astoria Hotel on Connaught Drive, right in the middle of the townsite, so it’s easy to tack onto any day in the park.

Why stop

Lively local hangout with a strong beer and cocktail lineup
Great for sports nights with lots of TVs and a projector
Central spot inside the Astoria Hotel

Heads up

Gets crowded and noisy at peak evening hours
Food and service can be hit-or-miss when it’s busy

It’s a longstanding local hangout housed in the Astoria Hotel, giving it a bit of Jasper history and that lived-in, community feel rather than a polished tourist sheen.

Think comforting pub fare—burgers, wings, fries, poutine, sandwiches—with a full bar, solid beer selection, and cocktails. Portions are generous and there are rotating specials that regulars watch for.

VibeCasual, social, and unmistakably mountain town.

Casual, social, and unmistakably mountain town. TVs (plus a projector) make it a go-to for playoff games, and on some nights you’ll find trivia or other entertainment. The patio is a hot ticket when the weather cooperates and tends to fill first.

WildlifeYou won’t see wildlife here—this is downtown.

You won’t see wildlife here—this is downtown. Save your spotting for dawn/dusk drives and trails outside the townsite.

Bottom lineCome for the easygoing, local energy and a pint with pub staples.

Come for the easygoing, local energy and a pint with pub staples. It’s not fine dining, and busy nights can be uneven, but as a classic Jasper hangout, it earns its spot.
