How can you go wrong in a place where Kiefer Sutherland once joined Aussie rockers the Waifs onstage for a round of "Mustang Sally"? Besides, even if the former Lost Boy doesn't show, the drinks are always strong and the botties always shaking. whistlerblackcomb.com.

There’s a reason locals refer to their beloved Whistler as “Swillster.” It mainly has to do with their hearty, healthy attitude toward drink—and the 13 different après options right at the base of the mountain. The Garibaldi Lift Company, known as the GLC, is the place to kick off your Langes and slug a frothy brew. Located at the base of the Whistler Village gondola, it’s got a sprawling patio, a fireplace to warm your wet gear, and most importantly a big-ass bar.

Erm, was this paid for by someone from Whistler Blackcomb?? The GLC, Merlins and Dusty's are all owned by Whistler Blackcomb, and they're not the best places in town. The GLC is certainly not the centre of Whistler's nightlife, what about the 5 clubs in town? The GLC's got such a poor local following they're not even open right now.
