Good place for a cold pint of Ale. They carry a number of BC produced Ales. Hung out and had a couple of cold pints here. read more

I'm not the biggest fan of this place. When we walked in, no one greeted us and there was no sign about general seating. I saw someone walk upstairs and decided to check it out and I'm glad I did. At the top of the stairs there were two host that told us we could sit wherever. Side note, there was probably under 10 people in the whole establishment, so it's not like they were busy. Our waitress came over and dropped off two menus, but it wasn't very clean. There wasn't much on the menu and for what it was, it was overpriced. We decided to get a drink and fries because we figured it would be hard to mess those two things up. We got our beers pretty quick, but it took a little while for the fries. After the fries were dropped off that was the last time we saw our waitress upstairs. She never came back to check in with us or to see if we wanted to closeout. We waited awhile upstairs until we decided to find some downstairs. We had to ask one of the bartenders if we could closeout. Another person from the wait staff found our waitress and then she helped us closeout. Whistler has many options, so I would recommend trying the other options before coming here. read more

The best fries around!!!! Hot and delicious! They came with garlic and Parmesan cheese with a slightly spicy dipping sauce. I don't know what they were thinking when the came up with the pulled pork tacos. First, they used feta cheese. I asked for that on the side. Second, it was not just pulled pork, but bbq pulled pork. I made myself eat one of the three because I didn't want to go through complaining. The waiter just served the food and doesn't prepare it or come up with the dish. Definitely, DO NOT order that! The wings were cooked well but could have used more flavor. Service was great until it was time for the bill. That took awhile. I would go back for those fries for sure. read more

Nice patio to chill with a drink. Food was fresh and reasonably priced for a touristy spot. I just expected better service because our waitress didn't make any effort to make small talk. I guess these tourist places don't expect repeat customers. read more

We had dinner here during an early December trip. We went on the early side, so it wasn't crowded upstairs. My husband and I both got the Steak Frites. We probably should have split one since the steak was bigger than I expected (I gave some of mine to our friend who got the Chicken Quesadilla). All the food and beer was good, and our server was great. I don't remember his name, but he looks like Rob Gronkowski. read more

This is a great pub in Whistler Village. We were there just to drink, but the menu looked so good that I may go back to eat. The bar is very inviting, with the menu hand written in chalk above you. The bartender was extremely friendly and fun. I thought it was interesting that the person sitting next to us worked at another place but came to Beacon to drink because the atmosphere was so fun. The drinks I had were very good, just a perfect place to stop in for drink when you are walking through the village. read more

We started off with the sprouts appetizer which had a surprising amount of flavour. The brussels sprouts were roasted and served with cheese, a crispy cheesy breadcrumb and a meat sauce. The chicken and leek pot pie was good but the highlight was the side salad! The cheese was so good it melted in your mouth and worked perfectly with the salad dressing. I would order that as an entrée on its own! The beacon burger was quite flavourful. I prefer my fries thinly cut so it's crispy but for those who like thick cut fries, these weren't bad! Our server was super friendly and attentive. We even had a great view as we had lunch! read more

My husband and I strolled through town and ended up here as our third attempt at finding a place. Sat on the patio under the heaters and it was just right. Having a lap blanket provided was a nice touch. We only came for apps after getting in late. Had the fries with the truffle aioli and I have to say, these were some of the best fries EVER. Crispy outsides, soft on the inside and the dip was incredible. We also ordered the chicken wings which came as full wings, not just party sections. The spicy buffalo dip on the side was pretty bland but the wings were hit and crispy. Biggest complaint: the music. Way too loud on the patio and a screamer/punk playlist with one Huey Lewis track thrown in (whaaatt?) We may have to come back to see what else they offer - unless the music continues to turn us off. Oh and could you please offer something other than a fruity Okanogan Chardonnay? read more

I'm going to be completely honest, we had a craving for french fries and Beacon was the recommended spot to satisfy the craving. It seemed like a good spot to relax and hang out after a long day of skiing. Service was good and we got in right away. I can't comment on the rest of the food - but the french fries are wonderful, it's safe to just go for the fries :) read more

100% the worst burger I've ever paid $21 bucks for. Basically a hockey puck with some gross sauce on it. I think they forgot the cheese too. Patty was so small it only filled like half the bun. And it took about 40 minutes to come out. $70 for burger, one beer, side salad, fries, and small soup. MacDonald's gets a Michelin star compared to this. The 1 star is generous. read more

If you want a drink and a good place to relax I would recommend stopping it. You have different levels to enjoy life in Whistler Village. The food was promised to be great but was ok. The Beacon Burger tasted great thanks to the toppings but was overcooked to Health Department standard of well done. The biggest disappointed was the poutine which had a bland gravy of tomato soup and beef flavors. The poutine was hot and cold within the same bite. Staff was nice. read more

Staff: amazing, polite, attentive. Tess took amazing care of us and chatted with us as well. Atmosphere/Seating: pub like, good. Music: THIS BAR HAS THE BEST SOUND TRACK OF ALL TIME. Beverages: solid selection, good beers. Good bar tenders. Food: The fries are excellent, most of the other food is good too... the reason this place gets 4 stars instead of 5 is that the burgers are *extremely* well done. Summary: go here after skiing and have a grand time jamming out to some tunes and sipping some beer. read more

Great service, and great food. Word to the wise, if you're ordering the Garlic Truffle Fries from the "Shareables" menu, order one for each person, otherwise you will be fighting for every last morsel of potato and/or garlic left in the basket with everyone at the table. It will ruin your date or family dinner. Friendships will end due the resentment felt by the people who missed out on that last bite. Fair warning. read more

We loved it here! Wynton made it the best and the sour I had was delicious. Great salad and fun people.

The atmosphere in here was great. Food was ok. Pur server was very nice, but did not get my hubbys order right, and of course he never wants to complain about it. I got a chicken sandwich. Taste was alright, but the piece of chicken was kind of small. Friend ordered the Brussel sprouts salad, which was a huge serving of Brussel sprouts with some other stuff mixed in. read more

Lunch on a patio with mountain views. This is what dreams are made of. I ordered the fish and chips, and had a couple of delicious drinks. The food was good, but very filling. I tried my best but I probably only finished half of it. The fish is actually really good, and has a good mix of spices/flavours in it. The service was great. Very attentive, and personable staff. Quite a pricey meal, however. I paid over $40 for two drinks and the fish and chips dish. read more

At one the primary corners in Whistler Village, the Beacon has a prime location and would serve as a nice spot for some village people watching. Although I did not do any of that, I did pop in a few nights for some drinks. What stood out to me at the Beacon compared to some of the other bars in Whistler was the constant ability to strike up a good conversation. While at some of the other bars, customers were more inclusive of either themselves or their own group, I found myself constantly chatting with the friendly patrons of the Beacon. Their beer selection was among the better in Whistler too. read more

Not a very extensive menu for their chicken sandwich and wings are really good. We tried their happy hour which is fine if you are there with a group because the specials are only on buckets and pitchers of drinks. Our waitress was sweet but when I wanted to pay cash with US dollars she told me that she calculated it and it will be $176. Our bill came to $125 Canadian dollars which is under $100 US dollars in my calculations. Not sure why this confusion occurred. read more

We had a good time here...sat upstairs and watched people playing pool while we ate and drank. Lots of action, younger crowd, so it was fun and lively and we had fun. Portions were sizable, everything was tasty, beer was cold, what's not to like? There was nothing standing out as excellent...it was just one of those times when everything went well and a good time was had all around. Which IS excellent. read more

Seemingly average whistler bar. It used to be Cittas long ago which I used to enjoy on the annual ski trips to whistler. This new place is boring and the food wasn't special. We ordered the short rib which came out in about 2 minutes leading me to believe they had them sitting in a crockpot. It wasn't special. The fried onions on top were stale as they must have been fried earlier in the day or week. The drinks were cheap-ey which cheap booze. The wine list ok. The service ok. Skip this place read more

3.5/5 for me here We popped in here for lunch during the week and found this place fairly quiet. There were people sitting under the heaters on the patio and also in the downstairs dining room, but we decided to go upstairs where they had high tables and a pool table if you are interested (free). The place is very casual as a pub normally is and the service was ok. Getting to the food, we started with the butter chicken poutine (cheese curds and tandoori chicken that was very flavorful and hearty). For our mains, we went with the sesame crusted tuna (cooked well and fresh) and the Canadian wagyu beef burger (my only 'beef' (get it?) is that they cook it well done due to the law in Canada unlike America but had good flavors otherwise). Overall, the food was good, atmosphere was lax and the prices were fair for what we got. After it was all said and done, I believe it came out to about $40/person with a drink each. I would recommend if you are looking for a quick bite in the village area. Buon appetito. read more

Very good spot! I had a delicious chicken sandwich and a nice pint of Powder Mountain Lager. I recommend getting the Angry Chicken sandwich. It was very good and a very decent size. I even enjoyed the fries or rather the hot house chips as they're referred to here lol I also had a chance to sample my buddy's chicken wings. They're only dry rubbed but good none the less. Our server was very attentive, friendly and helpful. The pricing was appropriate for Whistler and the restaurant was clean. Give them a try. read more

Yikes! This place is quite the deception. We were strolling around Whistler Village looking for a good eatery and stopped at Beacon Pub and Eatery since there was a crowd and it seemed to be a local popular. We headed upstairs to the restaurant section and ordered the Beacon burger with poutine fries and Royale cheddar burger with truffle fries. The fries tasted okay but the Wagyu patty was terribly dry and hard as a brick. We really had to masticate in order to break down the beef patty. But the real kicker with this place comes after the fact. We both ended up queasy and with heartburn several hours later post walking around the village and instantly knew it was from the food. We had eaten nothing else all day as we had driven all the way from Seattle earlier in the morning. read more

All things considered, this is a great place to go. Well centered on the plaza, outside seating, reasonable prices, and reasonable food. The wait staff is really attentive too. It won't win awards, but who cares? It's all good. We went there twice. For perspective, we also went to Bar Oso and 21 Steps. They are also good (and $$), but not the choice if you have just come off the hill and are hungry. read more

Food is probably a 3.5. I enjoyed the crab cakes, and they didn't skimp on the crab either. The wings were just ok though. I thought food was a bit overpriced. That said, they have a great beer selection and my draught was done right. Everyone at our table really enjoyed their cocktails too. Okay place for food, great place for drinks. read more

Around noon and early afternoon, Beacon seems to be popular with the locals, the "Cheers" group that comes in to share stories and news about working in a ski resort village. Downstairs is cramped with limited bar seating, so it can get crowded in the late night drinking scene. Food was good; I had the fish & chips and it was well prepared. Staff is very attentive, even during the maelstrom hours of drunk skiers recounting their wicked runs of the day. read more

Fist place we ate was here in Whistler. Service was very friendly but slow, it was busy and we were hungry. Probably not the best combo. Food was quality and and typical Whistler pricey. Not sure I loved it enough to return for a 2nd time. We ordered 1 burger, 1 spring type salad and added grilled Halloumi, chicken wings, 2 cocktails, 9oz wine and soda, 86 CAD. Not bad price considering. read more

Not a fan of this place. Overpriced and the food is blend. At least for my squash salad they charged for $17. The place located in a nice spot and pretty spacious. However, the food and the service is not good, which are ones that I care the most. The lady served our table was in a rush and forgot one of my friends order. read more

Me, my husband, and our four year old ate here for lunch on a Wednesday afternoon. I really wanted to like this place, but we won't be back due to the price and food quality. Pros: -quick seating -very friendly service, from hosts to server -blankets on outdoor seating chairs Cons: -kids hamburger was as big as his face so he couldn't eat it without us smashing it down -chicken wings were awful, inedible -hamburger had zero flavor and was clearly a tough reheated patty -price was very high, the kids burger was $15.5 ca read more

This was our first stop for food on our first trip ever to Canada and it was ok. The poutine was acceptable but not what I had anticipated (we later had poutine at other places and this was our least favorite) but the cheese curds were decent. It's a tiny little pub which is good if that's what you're goin for. Our waitress was very friendly but the place was very crowded. I'd rate this place higher if it were just a pub but the food wasn't that desireable. read more

The restaurant has a hip atmosphere to it with more bar-style seating downstairs; restaurant style seating upstairs. The place is very busy and service is well intended (just requires a little patience for them to catch up some nights). They have a good variety of menu items to test your taste buds. By that I mean the food dishes are well complimented with contrasting flavors. We sampled a variety of dishes and they were all above par. As for pricing, they are a little high even for the Whistler Village... but it's not "robbery". They have put a lot of thought into the menu and it commands a higher price to keep out all the kids. Overall, highly recommended. read more

This was the best burger that I've had in a long time! The server was really great but she had to climb so many stairs and make so many trips. Even though they view was great from up there, I suggest sitting in a more accessible location to the bar and kitchen. You may think the prices are expensive but remember you're in Whistler so there are inflated costs everywhere. read more
