You’ve spent your day shredding the Whistler Bike Park, cruising the valley trail, or chilling by the lake — but when the sun sinks behind the peaks, the energy in the Village kicks into a whole new gear.
Whistler in summer is electric after dark: patio drinks linger into starlit conversations, live music echoes down the village stroll, and dance floors pulse with locals and travellers living it up. Whether you’re craving craft beer, cocktails, live music, or a full-on party, Whistler has the perfect night waiting for you.
Let’s dive into Whistler’s nightlife scene — summer edition.
Start the evening off easy, with a pint on the patio:
Amsterdam Café & Pub – A Village Stroll institution, perfect for post-ride brews and all-day people-watching.
Tapley’s Neighbourhood Pub – Whistler’s go-to for sports, wings, and a locals-first feel. Great on game nights or just to unwind.
Dubh Linn Gate Irish Pub – Irish beer, mountain views, and live acoustic jams. Grab a table on the patio and stay for the music.
Crystal Lounge – Known for pool tables, affordable drinks, and hilarious karaoke nights.
Fitzsimmons Pub – Tucked into Upper Village with rotating taps and loyal locals — one of the coziest spots in town.
Summer shredding deserves a strong finish. These spots take you from trail to toast with style:
Longhorn Saloon – The patio at the base of Whistler Bike Park is legendary for post-ride pitchers, champagne showers, and DJ sets.
Dusty’s Bar & BBQ – Creekside’s original après bike hangout — big patios, bold BBQ, and relaxed rustic vibes.
Garibaldi Lift Co. (GLC) – Overlooking the gondolas with firepits, sliders, and music that carries into the night.
Cinnamon Bear Bar – Pool tables, happy hour specials, and chill ambiance tucked inside the Hilton Whistler. Newly renovated for a more modern feel.
When you're ready to turn it up:
Garfinkel’s – A Whistler nightlife staple. Themed parties, top DJs, and dance floors that go strong until 2 am.
Moe Joe’s – Famous for glow nights, hip-hop sets, and the rowdiest Sunday parties in town.
Apres Apres – Retro dance haven serving up ‘80s, ‘90s, and pure nostalgic joy.
Buffalo Bill’s – For those who want a mix of dancing, booths, and a round of pool before last call.
Maxx Fish – One of Whistler’s newest go-tos with live music early, then DJs that fill the lounge until close.
Not every night needs a booming beat. These spots elevate the evening with atmosphere:
Bar Oso – Intimate, Spanish-inspired spot serving creative cocktails and charcuterie.
RMU – Tucked at the base of Blackcomb mountain, this cozy bar serves some mean food and local brews.
Coast Mountain Brewing – Down in Function Junction, this craft beer hub offers a mellow scene and award-winning pours.
Merlin’s Bar & Grill – Upper Village favourite with live rock, occasional karaoke, and hearty pub grub.

Whether you’re sipping cocktails under the stars, grooving at a glow party, or swapping trail stories over a craft IPA, Whistler after dark is just as unforgettable as the day’s adventure.
