Fodor's Expert Review Thirsty Bear Kitchen & Bar

$$ Waterton Lakes National Park American

Waterton's only gastropub is the place for live music most weekends and casual eats anytime. The nachos here are the best in town, and there's a wide selection of burgers, sandwiches, and wraps—all served with salad or fries. Choose from 12 kinds of local craft beer, or peruse the cocktail menu: the Caesar cocktail, a Canadian invention similar to a bloody Mary, is the most popular mixed drink in Canada.
