Your Guide to Happy Hour in Whistler: Our 21 Favourites
Picture this, you have just spent a fantastic day in Whistler exploring the mountains, and you make your way back into the village. You are thirsty. You are hungry. You need a Whistler happy hour.
Happy hour is a non-skiers Apres with menu items offered at super reduced prices. The usual happy hour is right before dinner rush and you’ll find deals on both food and drinks.
Here is the real kicker: happy hour usually runs for more than an hour. So you have plenty of time to enjoy a discounted menu.
Most restaurants and bars in Whistler offer happy hour at some point in the day; you only need to decide which one tickles your fancy the most.
Okay, okay, maybe this isn’t technically a food-related happy hour — but its one of the most famous trails on Mount Sproatt in Whistler. We’ll leave it as a Whistler Happy Hour honourable mention!
