History
Founding
Roger Newton, an influential entrepreneur in Canada's restaurant industry, founded The Canadian Brewhouse in 2002 at the age of 21. Recognizing a gap in the market for a uniquely Canadian dining experience combined with a sports bar setting, Newton rebranded an existing pub in Edmonton’s Mayfield area, creating a culturally vibrant space celebrated for its distinctive Canadian flair.

Initially concentrating in Alberta, CBH experienced steady growth and expanded into other provinces. The first out-of-Alberta ___location opened in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, in 2014. Following this success, CBH established additional locations in:

CBH actively promotes franchising opportunities to facilitate further national and international expansion.
Menu
CBH's menu proudly features an array of Canadian cuisine, celebrating national favorites such as poutine, pizzas, sandwiches, and the iconic Caesar cocktail. Signature creations such as Buffalo Chicken Poutine and Stampede Caesar have become customer favorites. The restaurant also serves popular pub fare like wings, burgers, nachos, and an extensive selection of appetizers.
A standout menu feature is The Great Canadian Burger Challenge, a competitive eating contest where patrons must consume a burger with six patties and a generous serving of poutine within one hour.
Since 2017, CBH has extended its reach by partnering with SkipTheDishes for delivery services, enabling customers to enjoy their favorite meals from the comfort of their homes.

Every CBH ___location uniquely highlights Canadian culture through carefully curated decor, prominently featuring Canadian symbols such as inuksuks, maple leaves, and national flags. Locations typically include:
● Up to 60 high-definition televisions broadcasting major sports like hockey, football, basketball, soccer, golf, curling, and tennis
