When I think of my time in Whistler, I think about 80s night at Tommy's. Every Monday of the 06/07 season you would find me and my friends living it up. Sure, it becomes a meat market and the bartenders are dicks, but somehow the seediness just added to the experience. read more

Tommys Whistler - 80s Nite! - Dance Clubs Near Me - Whistler, British Columbia

I don't know what to think about clubbing in Whistler. The venue is just like any other nightclub, but with even less furniture. There's a dance floor and the usual alcohol promoter giving you free samples. But the music was like a decade old. I understand in the old days when music from America took a long time to get to places, but Canada is literally on our border, and the INTERNET exists. How the hell are they still playing "Hot in Herre"??!?!? But I digress, since I usually enjoy older hip-hop. It's the crews here. In Whistler apparently old people roll up to the club with no sense of their age. I saw a 60 year old man drinking a beer and staring creepily at the people dancing, which were mostly dudes. This place sucks. Also, the videos that accompany the music are of some white guy in dreads partying hard and pumping up concerts. It doesn't match the music being played, and I have no idea what the point of that racially appropriating clown is. read more

The bouncers here are outta control! I'm from San Francisco CA and I went here to have a good time. I ended up being man-handled and took a kick to the stomach so hard I drive heaved for two minutes on the cold ground after being thrown out on the snow. My story is that I'm a clothing designer and the accessory that I was wearing was a camel pak dance outfit. One if the bouncers saw the tube and said, "can't have that here, you have to leave." Fine it's their bar they get to make the rules. The guy escorts me to the coat check and takes my coat and shirt that I had checked in and walks outside in the snow. The bouncer asks me to come out, I tell him 'I need my shirt and jacket then ill come out'. This causes him to grab my arm, put it to submission lock, then the bouncer delivers a swift knee to my stomach like some MMA ninja. I'm carried out then tossed in the snow, with my cloths. I dry heave for a few minutes, collect myself and go back to the hostel. I filed a complaint with the Royal Mounted Police to complain about the treatment. The file is #WP13-1518 On coming back to the hostel, I learned that this happened to another individual. read more

Tommy Africa's makes me long for late nights in college frat basements. The drinks are as light as water. The coat check is mandatory (yeah, mandatory). The music is loud club anthems. If you're over 20 or less than stumbling drunk, don't bother. read more

This place is pretty fun. But I'll let you in a on a little secret to get in FREE, In the middle of the village square by the grocery store/liquor store, look for a girl just standing around in the middle. She might be with another person but they have STAMPS. And then you don't have to pay! This is the only way to go! This place is definitely fun to come and dance at. The problem I feel with Whistler nightlife is you have to no where to go on what nights because they all compete with one another so one place could be poppin but you leave to move on to the next bar and it will be completely dead but you just paid $15 bucks to get in. read more

Are you looking for a teenage dance party filled with toques, Aussies and hip jewellery then you've found your spot. Tommy Africa's on a Monday night is the place to be. You start the night off with getting a way cool "I love Retro" stamp. Way cool right?! Then you can check your coat for $2.50 to reveal your spaghetti strap tank top but remember to keep your toque on! Totally retro hits keep you hipster hand throwing all. Night. Long. The decor is like a successful seedy strip club so don't event worry about selfies- you can look at yourself all night this room of a thousand mirrors. You don't even have to dance to look cool they got Jennifer Lopez's Waiting for Tonight green lasers blinding you for days. If they run out of their special shots don't worry you can get white girl wasted with any of their gun liquor specials. Have fun! read more

Love this club! Great music, top bartenders & an awesome time!

Whistler Volleyball tournament this past weekend... and after a long day of playing (I was just watching) and suntanning..... the party ended up at Tommy Africas... I would have liked to hope that everyone showered but the place smelled like stinky socks and gym lockers. It was stuffy and small and over crowded. Lots of mirrors that I know try to make the space larger, but ends up getting lost. Two good things: - $2.00 Coat check - side station for beers instead of having to wait and push for a bartender's attention. read more

Youthful hip and carefree. Seasonal works love this place all came dressed up in drag, 80's, value village or basically anything that would express an alternative lifestyle. Tuesday night is their big night so come early. Drinks were inexpensive and unnoticeable. read more

Tommys Whistler - Dance Clubs Near Me - Whistler, British Columbia

Uhhh, hello, is there anyone out there... I visited Tommy Africa`s twice (although I`m not sure why) on my trip to Whistler because it is off season and there was no cover. Sunday night we walked in to a bored looking coat check girl, two bartenders tending two different bars and a DJ playing to an EMPTY ROOM! Monday night was 80`s night, we walked in and there was about 6 other people there and most of the tunes were not even from the 80`s, it was mostly early 90`s songs. Granted it was off season but they would probably be better off not opening the doors in situations like this! read more

I've never seen such a homogeneous collection of people. Males You will like Tommy's if you: are 18-22, like wearing hoodies, like etnies and similar clothing, are a bit obnoxious yet cool, caucasian. Females You will like Tommy's if you are attracted to the above mentioned. The DJ played a great mix of hip hop, top 40 and electronica. The drinks were relatively cheap (e.g. $6 corona) hence the young crowd. read more

This place is always fun. We came in on Monday for retro night. We were the first ones here but we decided to stay anyway. We grabbed the first of many Molson Canadians that happened to be on special and grabbed a table. Eventually many folks showed up and a killer game of flip cup even broke out right in front of us. In short, this place never fails to entertain us and is a staple of our Whistler vacation. Give them a try! read more

See all

My friends and I had a wonderful time dancing it up at Tommy Africa's while visiting Whistler for the weekend. We were celebrating a friend's 30th birthday and this spot was excellent for dancing and just letting loose. Again, they are big with coat check here, so make sure you have extra cash to give the coat check individuals. You will also need cash to get into this dance club as I believe it was around $10-15 to get in. But once you are inside, you are swept away by the music, dancing, and all around fun times. Oh, and also, if you decide to open up a tab, a minimum of $45 must be charged, so drink up or don't open up a tab. My advice, bring cash!! read more

Love going to Tommy's especially on Mondays for 80s night! Free face painting on these nights! Great atmosphere. Price of drinks can be expensive but what do you expect, it's Whistler! If you've got a drink in your hand and you're dancing to the music or chatting it up with friends at the bar (if you can hear each other) you'll have a great time!! Like I said, it's Whistler and you'll never go home regretting it....err unless you go home and look at the photos on your camera lol. read more

3.5 stars Came here for NYE...it was a steep $79 but still cheaper than the $120-125 Garfinkel's and Maxx Fish were charging. There was no line and we had a good time. I still like this place to dance but there were some major problems: 1. I feel like they need to be a little stricter about some stuff like the pole/stage. One couple basically spent the whole night on the pole ALL OVER EACH OTHER. It was gross and no one else got to dance there. 2. People dropped sooo much glass on the dance floor and they waited way too long to clean it up. Thank God I was wearing boots. 3. They said they had a "special DJ." The guy only played half of each song. It was really annoying. 4. I had several drinks and felt nothing...tipsy at best No one in our group did. Someone pointed out that the tequila seemed odd...everything was really watered down. read more

It is always such a slice here! We had a blast! The bar was a perfect kind of busy. Bouncers were on every corner and as needed to make you feel safe. Servers are always kind and sweet. The bartenders had done a fire show and it was awesome! They are fast and great at their job! The dj is always rocking the right kind of tunes! The manager must know what he's doing because it was a fun filled Friday night! Yep I recommend this bar for sure! read more

The last time I came to Whistler during the winter and went into Tommy's... I spent a 100 bucks on shots for people I didn't know, danced with boys that were way too young, and somehow stumbled back to my condo with the worst f ing hangover the next day. I think I got too old for Tommy's. read more

Just waited in line here behind about 50-75 people. The doorman said we were in the wrong line. Moved to the line he indicated. We were told by the second guy that we were in the exit line...!? When we protested and told the guy that we were sent here, he said, "the doorman doesn't work here go back and wait in line" what a shit show never coming to whistler to party again. **** these retards. read more

Not sure what the hype about this place is about. Been to whistler many times and this club was at the very bottom of my list. Nasty environment, bad dj, cash everything unless you want to buy $50 rounds of drinks with your credit card. They had ATMs inside but every one of them was out of service. We asked the bartender since the atms didn't work if we could get drinks and pay even if it was under the $50 limit and they laughed. We left early and went somewhere that actually wanted our money. Probably would've ended up spending over $300 on drinks that night but not $50 at a time. read more

The DJ's on Saturday were awesome! Great music had the place going. The renovation looks awesome. We had lots of fun!

ok, 80's party was out of control, in a good way... but the $10 cover, expensive and WEAK drinks and the mandatory coat check for $3.50 were ALL a WEEE BIT annoying. read more

Cool little place. Nice lights and great sound. Drums r week ass hell. FYI Ask for a double.

just went in and walked up to the bar. Asked for whatever was on special. Molson were 5.75. I handed the bartender 11 dollars. A 10 dollar bill and a loonie and even tipped her a dollar. She then hands me back a quarter. I then am like "ummmm I just gave you 11 dollars." She then looks at me stupid and pretends like nothing happened. I go wtf. Ask for my money back and to speak to a manager. She then gives me my money back and I go speak to a manager. He says there is nothing he can do and says he will talk to her. I leave. Go outside to find out she had just ripped me off twice and gave me a 5 dollar bill back. I then go back inside and then the manager proceeds to give me attitude. Do not go to this club read more

Best place to go out in Whistler. The staff go above and beyond to make you feel welcome. Not pretentious like all the other nightclubs in Whistler. Tommys is the best! read more

My girlfriend and I came to Whistler for a stagette last weekend and spent our Saturday night in Tommy Africa's. We had a truly great night and received amazing customer service. Staff was very friendly unlike in many places in Van. Tommy's manager Jeff was super professional and absolutely charming. The crowd in the club was super fun. We will be back to Tommy'sw every time we are back to Whistler and will recommend our friend to visit it any time they are in town. Cheers! read more

Tommy Africa's is a joke during college weekend at least. I pre-paid 25 to supposedly skip the line and wasn't allowed in the club because it was at full capacity. No refund, no entry, and forced to wait in the same line as those who didn't spent the 25 for quick entry. read more

the minute your crew makes the decision to go to tommy africas, you know its gonna be a good night. you will find yourself dancing uncontrollably the entire night and making friends with people you didn't know you would. all the bartenders are extremely friendly, and the club manager jamieson is an extremely great host and makes you feel like you're VIP. i wish i went to whistler more than one weekend a year because of this place. you will have unforgettable nights and if you do forget them, the photographer that wanders around will probably have some great candids of you. can't recommend this place enough. if you're in whistler, you have to go here! read more

$3 mandatory coat check. With no sign posted and no mention of it at the door. In Whistler, in the winter. Give me a bloody break. I'll give them 2 stars because the music was decent and we had fun in the end, but can't say I will be going back to a place that nickel and dimes my group by surprise to start the night. read more

The manager, I believe it was the manger, was incredibly helpful in getting myself and my two friends to a cab once the club closed. We had a couple of guys following us out the door and he sensed right away that they were NOT with us, and he helped make them back off, and helped me get my two drunk friends in the cab. I was definitely out numbered and would not have be able to do that with out him! Thank you so much Jamison! You helped me get my friends home safe!!! read more

If you want your REAL ID given away to another party-goer when you're inside using their ATM to get money to pay, then this is the bar for you! The woman at the cash register literally gave my real WA ID away to another girl. She told me to come back the next day to see if someone had returned it/ talk to a manager, and when I went to do what she had told me to do, nobody would give me the time of day. They literally told me "sorry that sucks but we aren't going to do anything for you." If I could give lower than 1 star, I would. There's probably a reason why the woman only does the cash register. Aside from money exchange, how stupid can a person be to give a person someones ID who CLEARLY does not look like them. read more

$5 cover,even though the bar was empty. $3.50 Mandatory coat check. off time wobbly dub with more then enough treble to blow your ears to soup. the dj had very interesting taste of music switching from hits like "hot &cold" by katy perry to sandstorm by darude. "asap- get wild for the night. the bar is poorly maintained. staff are indifferent. Coat check girls were high on mdma. first time, last time read more
