 | |  |  | St. James's Gate - Old Irish Bar: An Irish night out! | Tip Rating:    |  |  | |  |
For the number of Scottish and Irish folks that supposedly inhabit Canada nowadays, we were astonished to find that St James's Gate in Banff was the only Scottish or Irish Bar we came across!
We weren't in Canada just to drink obviously, but for 2 countries that are so well known for liking there alcohol, we thought we would have passed more .... oh well!
St. James's Gate is a lovely little bar just off of Banff Avenue. It sells meals most of the day and has a large selection of beers on tap as well as the usual spirits and soft dirnks.
Typically, being Irish, it is a very friendly upbeat place. It is however not the cheapest of places! Infact, it is probably one of the most expensive bars we visited in our 2 week tour of Canada (a pint of Guiness will cost you around $7.50 - aroud £3.75, but then again it is imported!).
However, we kind of expected it to be expensive since Irish bars are so popular and its the only one for what must be hundreds of miles .... they can get away with it!
If you have a few extra dollars you should go. It is expensive, but it is fun! They have live music at night and the food is out of this world! It is a busy busy place on a Saturday evening!
