Whistler Nightlife
When the sun goes down, Whistler goes into full-tilt party mode and it's time to party like a rock star. The nightlife in Whistler has become almost as famous as the skiing and snowboarding. There's a great reason for that, with everything from world famous DJs to a vibrant live music scene, Whistler has something for all ages and tastes. If something quieter is more to your liking, Whistler offers many lounges and pubs where you'll find that refreshing pint or perfect martini.
Don't miss out on Whistler's après ski - it's world-renowned and the ideal ending to your adventurous days outdoors. Check out our favourite places to chill with old friends and meet some new ones as you compare war stories.
This list is only a sampling of Whistler's fine establishments and venues.
