Magpie & Stump
(Nightlife - Bars)
203 Caribou St, Banff  T0L 0C0 • 403-762-4067
        Description: Sheathed in rough-hewn wood inside and out, this place is dim and kitschy, as evidenced by the neon beer signs, gaudy sombreros, and mounted animal heads. Still, it's a local favorite and offers any Mexican dish imaginable, from burritos to quesadillas and fajitas. During the day, it has a high turnover, so it's not hard to get a table. In the evenings, patrons come to hang out at the bar, drink and socialize, so things don't move quite as fast. On occasion, live music fills the space, and it's usually rockabilly or blues. Day and night, the Stump is lively and fun. Plus, they serve food until they close, so if you get the munchies late at night, this is the place to go.

Melissa's Restaurant & Bar
(Nightlife - Bars)
218 Lynx St, Banff  T1L 1A9 • 403-762-5511
        Description: No matter what time of day you come to Melissa's, you'll be warmly greeted and made to feel at home. The restaurant, housed in a circa-1928 building, resembles a chalet on the outside and a log cabin on the inside. It's also a local institution and a great place to meet friends. The Canadian cuisine makes the most of local ingredients, and you'll find a selection of Alberta steaks, local fish and handmade burgers. In the evenings, locals gather at the upstairs bar and watch TV or play pool and darts while they drink. Happy hour kicks in each day from 4pm to 7pm, and when the weather's mild, the revelry spills out onto the outside patio.

Pump and Tap Tavern
(Nightlife - Bars)
215 Banff Ave Sundance Mall, Banff  T0L 0C0 • 403-760-6610
        Description: Somewhat hidden in the Sundance Mall, this compact, low-ceilinged pub is a favorite local hangout. During the afternoon and after work, townspeople head over for a beer or to shoot a few rounds of pool. They also partake of hearty British comfort food, which satisfies hungry workday appetites. Daily drink specials bring similar pleasure to the pocketbook and to the soul. Visitors are welcome to stop by; just don't be put off by the short-lived sizing-up you'll get at first. Order a brew and relax the mountain way. You'll fit in without too much trouble.
