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.

    had a nice lunch. Waitress was fantastic, right amount of friendliness without being overbearing thus letting us enjoy our lunch conversations. Steak sandwich was just right. Will definitively go again.

    We had a team lunch there today. Everyone agreed it was a great place for a group to gather. It was nicely decorated for the holidays and had an upscale vibe that could fit lots of different occasions. Service was great.

    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.

    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.

    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.
