Whistling to Whistler
See All Lists
1. Great Glass Elevator Candy Shop
One of my secret little obsessions. For some reason I can't help but stop in for some candy. I know that there's similar fare at places in Vancouver, I know it's ridiculously overpriced, but there's just something my sweet tooth can't resist here.…More »
2. Moguls Coffee House
When all you want is a decent cup of java, searching through Whistler Village can be a bit of an ordeal (if you're not familiar with the turf.). There's your standard issue chains: Starbucks, Esquires, Blenz, Second Cup ... but what I really was…More »
3. Buffalo Bill's Bar & Grill
My judgment is clouded. Every time on my way to Buffalo Bills I dread it. The douches. The cougars. The stags. The stagettes. But every time, without fail, I have a good time.
So what makes for a good time at Buffalo Bills? Here's my alphabet soup…More »
4. Whiski Jack at Lake Placid Lodge
-Water backing up in the sink - disgusting dirty water
-Closet door doesn't slide
-Shower door doesn't close
-$15 parking for overnight (until 6am), but we were assured it was $5 if you were staying at a hotel
-At check in, heard two other people with…More »
5. Caramba Restaurante
For where and what it is, it's okay. It's expensive for what it is, but for where it is, it's a reasonable restaurant. The staff seems a bit uppity, a bit uninterested but they do their jobs.
I've had their grilled calamari a number of times…More »
6. Splitz Grill
Years of visiting Whistler has taught me two things --One: even if you don't plan on going out on a Saturday night, expect to be woken up in the middle of the night by girls screaming and crying and guys acting like d-bags. And two: Splitz is the…More »
7. Sachi Sushi
I am generally hard on sushi places: they've got to be fresh, friendly, offer standard and interesting combinations of flavours and still be decent value.
For Whistler, Sachi is decent. If I were craving sushi and just had to have it, I would come…More »
8. Rocks & Gems Canada
I admit, this isn't the sort of store I would routinely find myself in. Sure it's full of gems, but it's just not my style. Big rocks, all mounted inside silver frame, usually overly chunky, but in a costume jewelry kind of way. But if you're…More »
9. Dubh Linn Gate
I've had this in my drafts for ages and ages! As my favourite pub in Whistler, and arguably one of my favourite Irish pubs on the west coast, Dubh Linn is the host for many of my Whistler drinking memories.
A trip down memory lane:
