It’s the most wonderful time of the year – patio season has arrived in Whistler! Whether you’ve had a long day of biking on the mountain, enjoyed an afternoon on the greens, or simply relaxed lakeside, there’s nothing better than unwinding with friends and family on one of Fairmont’s patios! With nothing but sunshine in the forecast and summer adventures in full swing, we thought we’d take a moment to introduce you to our favourite summer après spots! The real question is, which one will you choose?
The Classic – The Mallard Patio
The Mallard Lounge is a local legend on the après scene. Experience Whistler’s go-to patio for delicious hand-crafted cocktails and spectacular views of Blackcomb Mountain. Whether you’re in the mood to try something new, or staying true to a classic Mallard cocktail, you won’t be disappointed!

The Local’s Favourite – Portobello
Whether you’re searching for your new summer hot spot, or just passing through, Portobello’s hip and casual patio is a must-try while in Whistler. Expect cafe vibes in the morning, lunch-go-to-spot in the afternoon and BBQ inspired pairings in the evening. While soaking up the sun try out one of Whistler’s local brews with our selection of beers on tap from the surrounding Sea to Sky area!

The Hidden Gem – The Clubhouse
You don’t need to be an avid golfer to enjoy an afternoon après at The Clubhouse. Located at the Fairmont Chateau Whistler Golf Club, The Clubhouse is one of Fairmont’s best-kept summer secrets. Overlooking the stunning 18th hole, it’s the ideal spot for a casual afternoon après for both golfers and non-golfers alike. Whether you’re in the mood for a delicious summer salad, a plate of nachos to share with friends, or a next-level Caesar, the Clubhouse patio has you covered!
LOCAL TIP
Complimentary parking and transfer to The Clubhouse is available for all dining guests. Please see the Guest Services team at Fairmont hotel’s to arrange your transfer.
The New Thing – Radiante
Picture this: Tacos infused with the finest flavors, handcrafted Don Julio tequila cocktails, and crisp Corona cerveza served against the backdrop of a setting sun. This Taqueria Terrace brings warm hospitality, the fiery passion in every dish. Expected to open for the 2025 Season in June. Stay tuned!
