Merlin's Bar & Grill

Whistler


If you must drink fizzy Kokanee beer this is the place to do it. A cavernous party pub with a huge patio at the base of Blackcomb, the log-lined walls, ceiling-mounted lift cars and bra-draped moose head add to the casual ambience. Food covers the pub-grub classics (there's also better beer than Kokanee available) and there's often live music during peak season.
