2 Best Bars in Whistler, British Columbia

Garibaldi Lift Company

Fodor's choice
At the base of the Whistler gondola, this popular joint attracts a lively crowd to its iconic après-ski bar that also serves lunch, dinner, and an exciting late-night scene. It's a cozy place to chill out and watch the latest ski and snowboard videos during the day; in the evening, though, things get hopping. Friday night house parties are legendary—the music isn't run-of-the-mill Top 40—and in addition to live bands, it's a venue for top DJ talent from Canada and the U.S.

Ketel One Ice Room at Bearfoot Bistro

Fodor's choice

At -32°C (-26°F), the Ketel One Ice Room is the world’s coldest vodka tasting room—and the only permanent subzero vodka room in Canada. The experience (C$52) includes the use of cozy Arctic Expedition parkas, four shot-glass tasters from a selection of 50 vodka varieties, and one definite "wow" moment to remember.
