About The Canadian Brewhouse

Food and Beverage Services

Let us introduce ourselves and get to know each other!

The Canadian Brewhouse started in Alberta in 2002 with one location that has since grown to 42! Nineteen of our locations are in Alberta, including; the Edmonton area, Grande Prairie, Lloydminster, Red Deer, Camrose, Fort McMurray, Calgary, Okotoks, Airdrie and Cochrane! We also have locations in Regina and Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, and Winnipeg, Manitoba!

We opened our first Canadian Brewhouse & Grill location in Kelowna, British Columbia in 2015, and are continuing to expand in BC. Our Abbotsford location opened in 2016, and Prince George, Fort Saint John & Richmond opened in 2017. In fact, The Canadian Brewhouse, and The Canadian Brewhouse & Grill will be growing for many years to come.

Our one-of-a-kind Canadian themed sports bar & grill has an extensive menu of appetizers, entrees, drinks and amazing specials every night of the week.

You’ll note our Canadian decor starts right when you walk up to our huge Inuksuk at our doors and continues throughout the restaurant in a “cheeky” Canadian fashion.

We promise, when you come to The Canadian Brewhouse, you’ll instantly feel at home, because our house is your house…only we have way more TVs! You won’t find a better selection of screens anywhere for the sports you love! We even provide tabletop speakers for those nights when multiple sports and teams are playing.

We also believe being part of a community means giving back. We’ve been raising funds for various charities through events and fundraisers for over 10 years. Charities like The Stollery Children’s Hospital Foundation, Breast Cancer Research, Prostate Cancer (Movember) and many local initiatives that are important to our neighbours in various communities.
