    I asked several locals where they go for fun and frolic. They all included Merlins on their short list. We went there one night and discovered it closed until a few days after we were leaving. Peaked in the windows. Looked like a good sized spot and with high ceilings and windows. Already had a list posted of musical acts coming.

    The Crab Shack: Rockin' good time

  • The actually advertise themselves as a steakhouse and oyster bar but I never ate there so it gets put in the nightlife section. However they do advertise themselves as "High energu seafood experience"...whatever that means. The main feature is a live band "Whole Damn Country" that plays on Sundays, which is there big night (cheap wings and beer). There's also live music on wednesday's. There's a dance floor so you can get your jig on in front of the band. They play an assortment of unheard of (at least by my ears) cover tunes mixed in with their own stuff, which isn't very good to be honest. This place is best if nowhere else is open and you wanna grab a few wobbly pops and listen to some tunes...but I think they close pretty early (11ish).

    Nada.

    Garf's is one of the more popular night spots in Whistler. Live Music or a DJ spinning out favourites (hip hop and dance on fridays, top 40/80's on saturday) It's Whistler's "biggest nightclub" but still small by big city terms. It is sometimes closed on Sunday (well once for sure...I know). Cover is somewhat expensive $7-10 and the drinks are moderately priced ($4.50 for a beer). The highlight for me was definately seeing my favourite band (sense the sarcasm) Big Muff play last time I visited. On a sunday we were told we had to pay $8 cover because of a band playing...when we saw they were called "Big Muff" we couldn't refuse, plus they gave each of us a free CD with all their fan favourites including "Dancewhore" and "Shut up and Dance"...needless to say it hasn't left my CD player.

    Take off your boots and snowboard pants...hell they'd probaby let you in if you leave them on.

    If that tip title doesn't grab you what will? Tommy's is a little smaller than Garf's and definately more geared towards dancing. They have a makeshift stage (painted wooden boxes) and two cages that, on busy nights, will have two synchronized, scantilly clad go-go dancers within. When not in use by the go-gos they are free for you to make a fool of yourself. Tommy's has a "two-level" dance floor, with one level varying from the other by maybe a couple of feet. Guest DJs spin often (DJ czech on sundays...apprently he's big) and the music is mostly house but with funk, soul, hip hop, and 80's thrown in on fridays and saturdays. Definately a fun place if your legs aren't tired enough to dance after a day on the slopes!

    No dress code here either.

  • I realize it was the off season, but on our brief pub crawl (only 3), it was here we found the most people and all seemed to be having a grand time.
    Dance floor was packed and the manager was telling us the line to get in during ski season is over a 100 every night.

    None that I saw.

    Dubhlinn Gate: Irish Pub

  • This was the first stop on our mini-pub crawl. Was about 11 PM on a week night in October. Very quiet when we got there, with about 7 other people there. A great chance to have some decent conversation with some real Canadians. Sorry, didn't run into any Irish.

    Guiness on tap wasn't bad for this far west.

    Bartender said the place really gets packed during ski season.

    None

    First things first! What I consider to be nightlife after every other activity is different from nightlife after a full day of snowboarding/skiing. I want... no, I'm lying, I NEED to sit down for the better part of the night. I want a place where the food is good and the beer and drinks flow easily. Dubh Linn's fit the bill every time. Also, I want a place with a lively feel to it, because otherwise I'd fall asleep. Dubh Linn's fit the bill every time. They had live Celtic music playing 2 out of the 3 nights we were there. This place just "felt" good to be in; real upbeat and energetic, but relaxed at the same time. And yes, you should get an Irish Car Bomb. A great apres drink in my opinon!

    Just get those boots off and put on the shoes of your choice and come right on in. Like I said everyone smells as bad asa you do, so don't sweat it. (no pun intended)

    This place was my favorite during my stay in Whistler.
    I did not usually feel like going out for large ones especially when I was looking forward to the early runs on the slopes.
    There are two floors where the top one has the most attractions; a pool table and two very comfortable leather couches. You have to be smart and quick about it, they are the first places to go!
    Try their warm spicy wine concoction (Cinnamon Cider), it is so tasty! They also have a terrasse outside under the famous propane heaters making it a delight to watch the snowfall. Whistler village is just gorgeous, its completely lit up, so take every chance you have to sit back and watch it alive.

    It's a great place to unwind if you still have any energy left after a day of skiing. I was only able to make my way there the first night and the people were very animated! It is known for its live bands. They have a fool's ball table and comfortable booths to sit on along the walls.
    Do remember that smoking is not allowed, so you may want to keep a warm sweater with you if you are planing to head out for a fag during the course of the evening. However, they do have propane heaters set up just about everywhere and the temperatures are pretty mild.

    Thermal underwear if you really want to make an entrance, really, wear what you feel comfortable in.

  • Very cool and happening club in whistler. Had a great time, friendly people, fairly small, and can get pretty packed. Saturday night is where it is at.

    Fairly casual
