Nestled in the heart of Banff, Bluebird is a captivating tale of transformation that unfolds within the walls of an iconic 1930s Tudor Revival landmark. As a beacon of the Arts and Crafts movement, this historic building held whispers of a bygone era, echoing the spirit of late 1960s Banff culture.

NWDS: The bar is located in the Santos district, today the center of expat life, but initially a poor neighborhood with houses built from improvised materials (the original bricolage). Santos’ history seeps through the shape of cropped arches, and the haphazardly laid masonry dating back to 1904, which was revealed during the bar’s construction.
