Merlin's Bar and Grill
Feel Right At Home Even If You Just Got Here
Located at the base of Blackcomb Mountain in Whistler’s Upper Village, where the Wizard Chair rises up and the Size Matters Wonder Routes touches down, Merlin’s home-away-from-home vibe is just one small part of the reason that après sessions here can be so off-the-hook. Decor inspired by the laidback mountain cabin, Merlin’s has cultivated the spirited vibe of an old-school rec room party free of fundepriving chaperones. The spiritual home of local rockers, The Hairfarmers, Merlin’s offers good times, mountain-high nachos and flowing brews, on tap. Open daily for lunch, dinner and bevys from 11am ‘til late. 604.938.7700
Upcoming Events
Where legendary tales of epic Whistler nights get their start.
You’ve probably heard some of the more colourful stories from our past (many which involve nudity, infamy and swinging from the rafters). We neither confirm nor deny these rumours. Suffice to say, Merlin’s knows how to ensure a good time is had by all, well beyond the après session. Getting down to awesome live music and DJs is the norm over here, and we invite you to find out for yourself by checking out one of the upcoming events listed below. Like us on Facebook to get the scoop on all upcoming events at Merlin’s as soon as they’re announced.
When you factor our infamous shot-ski (six shots loaded onto one ski) into the mix, things are bound to get rowdy.
Take a look at some posters from past shows and events.
Chillaxin’ vibes from the patio to the pit to the rafters.
Where the welcome is always warm and the vibe always chill. From the sun-soaked slopeside patio to the bar-side table-dancing tradition to the people-watching perch of the mezzanine level, Merlin’s is all about good times spent together with good people. Merlin’s is a clubhouse for those who are all about mountain culture, loads of nachos, and making sure that every ski day ends with a bang (and possibly a group shot-ski or a conga line.) Grab a pint and show off your skills on the pool table, debate the day’s best run with new friends or prove you really do know it all at trivia night. In summer, Merlin’s hosts jam sessions on the patio and offers creative drink concoctions using fresh ingredients from the Sunday Farmers’ Market.

Here’s what others are saying about one of Whistler’s favourite hangout spot.
➜ At the base of the Wizard Express sits Merlin's , Whistler's home of the nacho plate. A plate for "too many" piles up a mile high. - 2012, Best of Whistler, Pique Newsmagazine
➜ Sometimes, you want to hang out with a beverage in hand, and Merlin’s is a perfect alternative for those times, offering a bustling scene and friendly patrons. - 10best.com
➜ Merlin’s is classic ski town-esque venue complete with a DJ booth in a gondola and lots of live music on a patio that doesn’t get as busy as some of the village venues. The nachos here are massive and properly layered (cheesy from top to bottom) plus kids are allowed to join the party until 8 pm or they can run around and play at the base of the Magic chair, in clear view of the patio. -whistler.com
Sit back & stuff your face with deliciousness our taste buds will give thanks.
There’s so much more to meal time than simply ketchup on burger. Fresh ingredients and interesting and delicious culinary twists add some serious flavour to your food without getting overly fancy pants. Get into the permissive spirit of the place and give one of Merlin’s Winter Drink masterpieces, like the Chair Six, a try while you’re at it.
