Great hot cooked food, very tasty local beers and friendly environment. Must eat here when you visit Whistler, BC.

Terrible! Me and my husband haven't eaten meat since 20 years ago, we asked for a veggie burger and we got a regular burger. We had a bite, but we realialize it was meat, the waitress said she listened bacon instead veggie, even when we asked at first for a vegetarian option, we said veggie, vegetarian twice and she answered vegan???? we never said bacon, it's a shame, you should be more careful, and respect even if it's not your believes. read more

The food was mediocre and the service was horrible... I ordered the burger with cheese in it but the burger patty wasn't very good and and kinda rubbery inside. I gave it 2 stars because atleast the ambience was nice while sitting in the outdoor patio. read more

Best burgers and service in town! We were looking for a decent place to get some burgers after a long days hike and this place did not disappoint at all. Their service is on point and clean. Restaurant is right in the center of the village so great place to sit especially with outdoor seating, and really good and fresh food. We ordered chicken wings, chipotle chicken burger and crispy cod sandwich. Definitely the best food to end your perfect day. read more

The service was great. Very friendly staff. The beer was cold. The food was just average.

This is a very nice place. Sat in their patio area to have some beers. It's a very nice view of the courtyard. Also great to sit down have some drinks and people watch. The staff is friendly, and they have heaters and blankets for guests. We tried the chicken sandwich and it was very good. Beer selection was good too. At night it's more of a bar scene and the ambiance is pretty good. Inside they have TVs with sports. They were playing soccer games when we were there. Cool looking bar inside too. read more

Came here for a very late, light dinner our very first night in Whistler. I was not a fan. Pub food is pub food...except when it's not. We had the fried pickles, the mushroom arugula, and the butternut squash salad. It was all very mediocre. The dressings were way too overpowering, the portions relatively small, the quality low. So many other similar options in Whistler village with better food and service. read more

I feel like they change there menu ALOT. When I went they had a much different menu than what I thought to expect. I had a crispy cod sandwich and it was mediocre. The service was okay once they got around to me... but honestly I would have went to avalanche or Earls instead. read more

Inexcusable service. First, let me say that despite 2 attempts in as many days, I was unable to eat or drink in this establishment. I have never been treated so rudely by a host/restaurant in my life. With only a party of two both evenings, and plenty of open tables and seats, we were extremely rudely told that we could not be seated because it was a "service issue" and physically escorted out of the building. I can't believe that an establishment who's purpose is to generate revenue could be so rude to perspective customers. I walked out the second time feeling disrespected, and extremely uncomfortable. With so many beautiful places to eat and drink in Whistler, SKIP THIS ONE!!!! read more

Overpriced and food was mediocre. This place obviously doesn't have to try due to location. We came here because other places had 1 hour line ups. Will not return. Would not recommend. Tomato Lentil Soup tasted like sugary ash tray. However, waitress was nice and she gets a star. read more

Went for lunch here during Canada day. This is a great place to catch a burger. I ordered their infamous Beacon Burger and it was terrific. Everything in the burger blended well, especially the arugula. Fries were top notch and their patio game is strong! The place looked packed during the weekend. read more

Good selection of food, pretty good quality as well and prices in line with the rest of Whistler restaurants. What else to add? If you are in to pub food, this is a place you should definitely try while in Whistler. If you want a specific reason why to try it... go for the Beacon Burger, which is definitely a must! The taste is quite unique with an interesting and not ordinary combination of ingredients. Add poutine to it to make it a killer meal. Vast selection of good local beers, although the pint was maybe a little pricey. read more

I liked the place that was here before (Citta), because it was a nice place to go apres ski, but I am learning it is too small here to boycott something forever. I was looking for food and my friend wanted a couple beers, it's between seasons, and a lot of places close early. It was after 9 pm, on a Thursday, so we ended up here. Right away the hostess informed us we had fifteen minutes to order food. I appreciated that because there is nothing worse than chatting away, then finding out you can't get any food when you are hungry. We sat on the patio, because of the music inside, which my friend thought was too loud. He was right, it was pretty loud to have a conversation. I like to sit outside anyway though. I thought the service was very good too, even though we changed tables on the waitress. It got more crowded around 10:30 or 11:00 pm., so showed up at a good time to pick a table. I got the Macaroni and Cheese ($10) , which I thought was good, not the best ever, but I ate it all. My friend had a couple beers. I ordered a drink called a Problem Solver, which was a "raspberry- based" cocktail. I liked it a lot. My mistake was not asking the price. It was $12.00. I had three. (Ouch!). I don't have multiple cocktails very often because I am usually driving ,or very thirsty (from exercise), and they were good. Our bill was just, um, a bit of a surprise but,....you only live once. So, I would go back (if I could sit outside), but I would probably order a cider or beer instead. They seem serve a lot of sangria, but I do not care much for red wine. Overall, I thought it was a good place to go for decent pub food, with rather expensive, tasty cocktails. read more

Staff was rude. This was our first trip to Whistler. We we very disappointed in the hospitality shown to customers. Would definitely not return or recommend to others visiting. read more

To put it simply, I do not recommend this restaurant. I'd say they had 3-star food with 1-star service. We (my family) came for happy hour. We ordered one cocktail, and the rest of us just had water. We ordered one appetizer, just to tide us over before dinner. We were anxious to try poutine, as we had heard that it was a staple of Canada and we were visiting. So, we ordered the bbq chicken poutine. The poutine was good, just the addition of chicken made it taste a little strange. But that wasn't the reason I'm giving a 2-star review. Our server seemingly had no interest in us, and took as much time as she saw fit to serve our food, drinks and bring our check. Service was VERY slow. We must've waited 15 minutes for her to come help us pay. One might argue that she was busy with other customers... but we found that that was clearly not the case. On her way to the bathroom, my mom saw her just standing there, talking to the other servers. We ended up leaving my dad at the table to wait for our server, having to wait that long was unacceptable. read more

We came here for a lunch ski break two days during our trip. Both times the staff were extremely friendly. The reason that I love this place so much is DEFINITELY the beer!!! I had one of the best beers of my life at this place. It was the Whistler Chestnut Ale. If beer could be a dessert, this would be that beer! I discovered it during my first visit here when my husband and I did a beer sampler. You get four 4 oz pours for $12.75. We did a cider, an Irish stout, a pale ale, and my favorite beer. In terms of food, we only tried some of the bar food. I had the mac and cheese the first day, which was pretty OK. Both days we got fries with some delicious garlic aoli sauce, which I would highly recommend. Some helpful hints.....during happy hour (3-6 PM), they have pitchers of beers, sangrias, Moscow mules, and some other drink that i can't remember for $16. Also, you get 15% off if you have your discount card from Crystal Lodge. Overall, a great place to stop by if you need a break from the slopes. read more

I stoped by here after went to the top of whistler. Happy hour at 3-5 pm got a jug of beer (60 oz) only $18. I like the bacon burger ($19). It's good. My friend ordered fish & chips for $22. It was ok. My other friends order greek chicken burger, they didn't like it. Haha... But i like the bacon burger. Good read more

See all

Took a pit stop here for a pitcher of beers while bar hopping around in the evening through the village. The atmosphere is laid back and casual and the DJ was on point with the music playlist. Pitchers were reasonably priced and had tons of choices! read more

This place is situated in Whistler Village, home of the 2010 Winter Olympics. I had the Wagyu Beef Burger; a hunk of one of the world's best kind of beef, (next to the Kobe beef) sandwiched between two toasted sesame buns, sweet sautéed caramelized onions, arugula, jalapeños, homemade spicy-mayo sauce. Worth the $19! It was accompanied by one of their local lager beer which did not disappoint. We also tried the chicken pot pie, served w a side of Caesar salad and the wings were amazing. read more

Rude staff, I will never the back here again! 15 of us and we all left! Not giving you all my money if you're going to treat us like we're second-class citizen read more

We came to Beacon because we were looking for some outdoor seating and pub food. Nothing we ate was out of this world but it was adequate. Fun place to chill, eat, drink, and people watch. Great location at the base of the hill and centrally located within The Village. read more

We tasted our way through Whistler for that awesome Bloody Caesar, and this is the place! Perfect amount of spice, celery salt rimmed boot mug along with a Lanjaeger?! The Root Beer short ribs & wings were delish too. read more

Beacon Pub & Eatery - Best Bloody Caesar out of the 6 different places we tried! - Pubs Near Me - Whistler, British Columbia

Dissapointing. Burger was cold. Poutine was not poutine and not hot enough that cheese didn't melt. Will not come back

Busy place, but I get why. The food and beer was great and the service was very good. It was our second time there. First time they couldn't find a table for us. We may decide to come back during our stay in Whistler. read more

A bit further from the lifts, but a decent choice for beers and a snack apres ski.

There's a really nice, laid back atmosphere at Beacon Pub. We'd gone to some places right by the lift already and wanted to explore farther in. The deck is really well done, but that sacrifices interior space. The bar area is small. Whistler is an outdoor place so the trade off is worth it. To make up for it there's a 2nd floor with a pool table. The service was really good. We got a some wings and a pitcher (which they call a jug). It was happy hour, so the pitcher is on special. The wings were good. I notice they are smaller in Canada. I like that. I think the meat is better. Anyway, I'd definitely go back and you should too. It's worth walking a little farther from the slopes to avoid some of the craziness. read more

Great location, nice atmosphere. Waitress was very nice and the green bean appetizer was good. Main course was a disappointment. We had three burgers and a salad with halloumi. The burgers and halloumi were burned and overdone, burgers were too basic. read more

Pros: Great Caesars (drink) , has a great outdoor patio overlooking the plaza. Cons: Terrible service during busy hours, drinks and food took forever to come, after the waitress served our drinks, she barely came back to check up on us after. She was also very difficult to get a hold of. To make matters worse, she gave us the bill even when we never asked for it (signalling that she wanted to kick us out). I didn't dine here because we had reservations for dinner elsewhere, and were here only to kill time and I am glad that I didn't order any food. I know that the location commands a premium price for food, but seeing how small the portions were (those that were dining around us) and for the price that's listed. It's not worth it at all. I won't be coming back again and neither should you. read more

I ordered a burger with a Caesar. Man, I've never had such a dry burger. The patty was almost black, and the sesame bun was so dehydrated it cracked in my hands like a cracker. I wouldn't recommend this place. It's also ovepriced for the poor quality. You're paying 20$ for a shitty burger and fry. read more

One of the best restaurants in Whistler in terms of food and beer selection. Highly recommend the Parallel 49 Stout and Fish and Chips! read more

Busy spot on a Friday night! However, we were able to snag a table for a party of 7. They had free WiFi, which is great since we did not want to pay for roaming charges. The Root Beer Short Ribs and Blue Buck beer are a MUST have!!!! read more

Service was great, and we especially liked the beets salad and salmon chowder! The butter chicken poutine was great too. read more

Kind of a younger, more raucous crowd if you go later, but all in all a great place for apps apres ski or dinner. Food was surprisingly good. Sort of upscale bar food for apres ski. We had a few apps and they we're all yummy. Wings were a bit disappointing for us east coasters. Entrees were yummy. I had salmon and it was cooked perfectly. Even veg was well seasoned and yummy. My son had a burger and he was happy with it aside from the fact he had to get it cooked well (not their fault). Would be 4 stars but the loud drunken crowd clicks them down one for a family dining experience. read more

After a long day on the slopes we were looking for a hearty meal, a few laps around the village and we zeroed in on Beacon. There were a few reasons: the music was good, it was crowded, and the people dining looked happy. That's a solid combination, so we snagged a table for two. We sat upstairs with a view of the village and in close proximity to TVs spewing March Madness. Our waitress was very attentive and made some good beer suggestions - thy stock a fair share of loca brew. I got the Fish and Chips, Tristine grabbed some ribs and some greens. Everything was cooked perfectly and after spending a whole day making turns, hit the spot. (Also, the price was just right. Being so close to the gondola, you might expect it to be expensive, but it wasn't). read more

Best fried pickles. The ranch dipping sauce was weak, but the pickles were so good didn't need it. Awesome dry rub chicken wings. Chicken and leek pot pie was perfectly delicious and the accompanying salad paired very nicely. After a long travel day, this was exactly what we needed and we were so happy We'll be back to try the burgers next! read more

One of the best casual meals I had in whistler. Had the Greek chicken sandwich with the poutine fries, so much flavor!! My friend had the burger and also had a rave review as well. Go here for a solid meal!! read more

It wouldn't be that bad except...there are just so many better options in this village. And at this same price point. Apologies beacon, but poor showing. Not worth the money given the food quality and the service. I would give 2 stars but the host was really bad 40 min wait time was estimated. Ok fine. It's been 2 hours. Still no table. And none in the near future. We ended up ordering at the bar. I told him about that..and he kind of told me that I needed to be flexible. Dude, I waited tables for 5 years. You never over estimate by nearly 3 times the wait!! And then mouth off to the customer when he expresses concern about it!! Geez! Seriously, go somewhere else!! This village has great places to eat that aren't staffed with snotty hosts!! :) read more

Hostess would even let me into the bar. It was "full". She said I could sit outside... it's -2C. What kind of restaurant won't let you into the bar while you wait for a seat to open up? Truly annoying. read more

Don't bother drinking here! Expensive and no alcohol in the drinks. Called them out on it and they denied it. I am 65 years old and know when there is alcohol in a drink! Frinkin tourist trap. read more

I think this restaurant deserves only 1 star after the treatment that my friends and i got last night. The manager accused my friend of buying drugs. All he did was talk to the airlines about his luggage that had not arrived. One of us was asking her politely what was going on and she just rudely yelled at my friend. So unprofessional. read more
