It’s no secret that although skiing might be the main reason a trip to Whistler is planned, the nightlife is a close second. After the hill closes and après has commenced, the next questions is where should your group spend the rest of the night? Not interested in heading to a night club? A great deal of the night life is tucked away and without knowing where to look, your night might just be called early. Here a guide to Whistler’s not so mainstream night life and how to make the most of your nights here in Whistler!
1.Buffalo Bills
Looking to dance the night away? Buffalo Bills is your spot to kick up your heels and maybe even dance on stage to the classics as well as top 40’s! Friday night is ladies night so get there early and have a complimentary glass of champagne. Concerned about long line ups? Head over to Buffalo Bills Facebook page and request a guest list for you and your friends.
2. Dublin Gate
You can’t go wrong with true pints mixed with live music. An outside fire let’s you take a break and enjoy the conversation. Featuring a late night happy hour from 11pm to 1am, you can get your fair share of highballs and wine!
