Patios Facing Whistler Mountain (Village Centre)

“Watch the bikers making their way down the hill or simply gaze towards the sky and enjoy that fresh alpine air”

1. The Longhorn Saloon & Grill

This has been an iconic place to après and party in Whistler since it opened in 1981. It is the ideal spot for a plate of legendary nachos and a cold glass of beer. Outdoor gas firepits, colorful umbrellas, and plenty of tables make their patio fantastic. And you can't beat the views - watch mountain bikers and skiers come down to the base.
