Alright folks, the sun is out, the temps are climbing, and Whistler is officially shaking off its winter coat. You know what that means—patio season is ON.


There’s something magic about this time of year: sun on your face, a cool breeze rustling the trees, lofi beats in the background, fire pit crackling, drink in hand, and your crew laughing about the day’s adventures. Whistler might be known for its powder, but summer here? Chef’s kiss. Especially when you’ve got a prime seat on one of these patios.


Whether you're rolling into town with your team, your chosen family, or your ride-or-die friend group, these are our go-to.

Whistler patios for a sunny sip, a stellar view, and unbeatable vibes:


Table Nineteen – Nicklaus North Golf Club

Views for days. This lakeside gem is all about serenity and sophistication. Watch the float planes take off while you enjoy a craft cocktail and a delicious menu. Bonus points if you arrive by bike after a loop around Lost Lake.


Dubh Linn Gate – Whistler Village

Lively, iconic, and just steps from the gondola. This Irish pub brings all the energy—with hearty food, live music, and that sun-drenched patio that always seems to have the best people-watching in town.

Dusty’s – Creekside

A Whistler classic. Dusty’s brings the laid-back, BBQ-loving, post-adventure crowd together. Great for groups, casual eats, and après that lasts well past sunset.




Tapley’s – Whistler Village

For sports fans and social butterflies. Tapley’s is the place to catch a game, grab a pint, and soak up some sun with locals and visitors alike. Think cozy, familiar, and totally unpretentious.


Black’s – Whistler Village

Smack dab at the base of both gondolas. Black’s serves up front-row seats to all the action. Great for celebratory cheers after a hike, a ride, or just... a solid morning of doing nothing.


Garibaldi Lift Co. (GLC) – Whistler Village

The OG après spot. In summer, GLC’s patio keeps the good vibes rolling with its unbeatable views of the bike park, cold drinks, and epic playlist. Come for a bite, stay for the buzz.


Firerock Lounge – Westin Resort & Spa

A little tucked away, a lot charming. Think cozy mountain-chic with craft cocktails and a quiet corner of the village. Perfect for low-key group hangs or that classy-but-casual night out.


RMU – Upper Village

Vibes. Just... vibes. RMU is cool without trying, and their patio is no exception. It’s the kind of place you stop for one drink and end up staying till dark. Bikes welcome, good times guaranteed.

Crystal Hut – Blackcomb Mountain

Alright, this one’s for the adventurers. Crystal Hut is only accessible by ATV or Jeep—but trust us, it’s worth the effort. Up there, it’s just you, your crew, panoramic mountain views, and a patio that makes you feel like you’ve got the whole world to yourselves.

Umbrella Bar – Whistler Mountain

A round patio with 360° views and serious "top of the world" energy. Located at the Roundhouse Lodge, this one is made for sunseekers and selfie lovers. Best accessed via gondola (or legs of steel).

Cure Lounge, Nita Lake Lodge, Creekside

Tucked away in Creekside with unbeatable lakefront views, Cure Lounge at Nita Lake Lodge is a hidden gem that serves up craft cocktails, cozy vibes, and serious “why don’t we do this more often?” energy. It’s the kind of spot where your group can gather around on comfy couches, watch the paddleboarders on the lake, and toast to good times without the village hustle.




Patio season in Whistler isn’t just about where you go, it’s about who you’re with, what you’re sipping, and the stories you’ll be laughing about long after the sun sets.


Whether you're planning a group trip, corporate retreat, or a cheeky weekend getaway, these patios are where Whistler summer memories are made.
