Best Happy Hour in Whistler
Apres is a way of life in Whistler. After a long day in the mountains, what's better than knocking back a frothy cold one and sharing a pile of nachos with friends? Whistler's happy hours conveniently fall around the same time as the mountain closes or when the post-shed thirst kicks in. Here's a list of the best happy hours in town.
