Inside, think classic, buzzing brewpub vibes: lots of seating, sports on TV, and a street-side patio that turns into prime people-watching territory when the weather’s good. It’s family-friendly, with a crowd that swings from après-hike to late-night.
The beerThis is why you come.
This is why you come. Six signature beers are brewed on-site, using mountain water from the Rockies (filtered only for chlorine). Flights are popular if you want to sample across the board; seasonal pours rotate, and locals have favorites tied to Jasper’s ski and trail culture.

The menu leans pubby with Alberta touches—think burgers, wings, fish and chips, poutine, and a smattering of salads and bowls. There are vegetarian, vegan, and gluten-free options. Feedback skews positive overall, though the consensus is to make beer your hero if you’re choosing between that and cocktails.

It’s a community hub and one of the busiest spots in town, so waits happen—especially in peak season and during big games. Service is generally friendly, but it can be stretched when the place is slammed.

You’re in the townsite, so don’t expect wildlife-viewing here. That said, Jasper does see the occasional elk or deer wander through—more likely at dawn or dusk and away from the busiest blocks.
