This pub was cozy, we sat near the fireplace. The server was very friendly. The place was clean and had a nice decor. It is located right in Whistler Village. The food was pretty good but expensive. We have found that everything in Whistler is double the price so be prepared to spend a fortune here. If you are on a budget you may want to stick to McDonalds or buying groceries to make your own meals.
We stopped here for a quick pint after the Train Wreck Hike. We were a party of four and sampled most of their offerings . It was a great place to refresh after a hike
My partners favorite beer is Whistler beer, so when we found the actual brewery, we had to go. What a great surprise it was to find the reasonable prices and good food to boot. Next time we will take in the tour.
Love the chestnut beer! Cask nights are good with live music. Food is good pub food. Staff are always friendly. Definitely a place to go to when visiting and worth the trip down to Function Junction.
We had terrible weather in Whistler during our 2 week stay and opted for the brewery tour one day. It was very educational and the beer was fantastic. Wish I could've brought a keg of Chestnut Ale home with me!!!
Whistler Brewing Company is a little out of town, located in "Function Junction" which is basically a business park just off the Sea to Sky highway. Because of this location, it keep short evening hours for a bar. But despite both of these slight negatives, it's well worth a visit. Why? Because the beer is great and the food is good. And you can buy their great beer in bottles or growlers to take home with you. For me the picks of a good bunch of beers were the Bear Paw Honey Lager and the Paradise Valley Grapefruit Ale. But the others were decent too.The setting is a light-industrial unit, with a huge roller shutter door that they open up in summertime to create a nice al fresco dining environment. You can get close to the outdoors with a bar-table they have right up against the entranceway, but due to Canada's seemingly ridiculous licensing laws, you can't take a beer onto the pleasant patio area out front of the unit.When I was there first time, the place was pretty busy, and staff were pleasant, attentive and polite, and the service was fast and efficient. Second time it was a lot quieter, but the service was just as good. The menu is not extensive, but both meals I had their were tasty, filling and great value.If you just want to try WBC's great beers, you'll find them sold in bars and restaurants all over Whister and the surrounding area. But if you want some good filling, value food, in a casual pleasant environment away from the "Disneyfied" atmosphere of Downtown Whistler - the WBC is well worth a stop. A great day for XC mountain bikers is to ride to WBC for lunch across the Flank Trail which takes you from from downtown Whistler right to their door. The climb will build an appetite, and you'll also get some incredible views to Whistler across Alta Lake.
We did a road trip up to Whistler while staying in Vancouver. We stopped by Whistler Brewing Co. because we had tried some of their brews the night before. I am a HUGE fan of the Bearpaw Honey Ale. Wish I could buy it here! Overall brewery is fun, and has a nice patio. It's a pretty typical brewery stop, but the beer is great! It's a little off the beaten path in Whistler, but it's not far. If you in the area, it's worth a visit!
Great tour very knowledgeable with a great atmosphere. We were running a little bit late and with a quick phone call they were nice enough to delay the tour and wait for us! It was greatly appreciated. It was def a nice way to spend the afternoon off of the lifts.
We went to the Whistler Brewing Company after a long day at the slopes. My husband loves beer and brews his own. When we went to talk to the bartender about the different types of brews he didn't seem interested in talking. When we asked what beers we should get he said everything is good. Any time that we asked for anything it seemed as if we were bothering him. We racked up a hefty bill with merchandise and drinks but didn't get a welcoming feeling at all. I would recommend their beer but I would have grabbed a six pack and drank it my hotel than feel unwelcomed.
Took the bus from Whistler to do a short hike to the train wreck art and visit this brewery. We were not disappointed. The Valley Trail Chestnut Ale has become a new favorite along with their seasonal brew. The pub atmosphere was family friendly with lots of locals hanging out there after work. Food was pub quality and the pretzels were a hit with the teens.
