Ursidae Lair - Jasper, Alberta

We had to check out the bakery that turns into a scotch lounge, such a cool concept. I have to say the whisky sour was the best I’ve ever had. The drinks were well thought out and perfectly crafted. There were speciality cocktails which were themed and very tasty.
The patio was pet friendly and the couches were very comfortable to sit on.
Honourable mention would be the espresso cheesecake, it was amazing.

While visiting a local liquor store, came across an ad for this place. I’m so glad we stopped by. Bakery turned into lounge in the evening. There are a few tables and chairs and a couple spots at the bar. Great cocktail and scotch list. If we hadn’t come straight from dinner, I would have enjoyed something from the snack list. The couple next to us had the carrot cake and it looked delicious. We enjoyed a couple very reasonably priced cocktails. One even came smoked! The ice cube in my cocktail was extensive, with an orange rose. Our server was friendly and welcomed us back in the morning when it turned back into a bakery.

This place is the best kept secret in Jasper. Beautifully crafted cocktails made with so much love. Be patient they are worth the wait! I had the Calm Cocktail which was on the Japanese Scotch monthly feature special and it was really amazing. The atmosphere is great, soft music, lovely decore. A real treat. Going back tomorrow night and will definitely visit every time I come back here.

A wonderful spot for something different…if you know it is there and can find it! It is in the same spot as the bear paw bakery (day time) but transforms the bakery into a lovely intimate lounge ( in the evening) specializing in scotch but having other options as well. I had a lovely cocktail (scotch based, i am not a scotch drinker) called forest fire. The bar tender recommended it was a good “entry” style for a non scotch drinker and he made it to perfection, and yes it was smoked! Very cool. My husband very much enjoyed his flight of scotches. A lovely evening. We would love to see this business succeed so …please please please have some sort of sign on the sidewalk? More people need to know about this place. Not sure what would work but we were standing right beside it and were not sure it was the right place until we saw a small flyer on the window. We almost missed out on a real jewel.

We had a great time at Ursidae tonight. Great atmosphere, excellent service, and awesome scotch. We enjoyed 2 flights, and would have loved some dessert (but were too full from dinner - they looked amazing).

We love the premise of it being a bakery by day and scotch bar by night. We’ll definitely be back any time we’re in town.

I didn’t know it was a scotch tasting bar before coming and wasn’t sure if I’d like the options because I’m not huge on scotch. All of our groups cocktails were amazing and made with care. We were thoroughly impressed and the experience was very much worth it!

I recently visited Ursidae, the new cocktail bar in town, and had the pleasure of trying their signature drink, the "Forest Fire" scotch cocktail. The experience was exceptional from start to finish, thanks in no small part to Remo, our server.

The "Forest Fire" cocktail was a delightful blend of smoky scotch, balanced with a hint of lumbar notes. The presentation in itself Captures all your senses, especially the Smokey chamber that it is presented in. It truly captured the essence of a forest adventure in a glass, making it a must-try for scotch enthusiasts.

*Remo's service was impeccable. He was not only knowledgeable about the menu but also passionate about ensuring we had a memorable evening. His attention to detail and friendly demeanor added to the overall enjoyment of our visit.

Ursidae, with its delectable cocktails and top-notch service, is a welcome addition to the local bar scene, and I can't wait to return for another delightful experience.

You really need to go here! Excellent experience. Beautiful library of scotch. The flights are a great idea if you're overwhelmed! They are very well considered. Nice that they have snacks and treats from the bakery, too. The vibe of Ursidae is classy and cozy, and the service was so friendly and knowledgeable.
